Wait? The Scrambler Rifle that has charged shot that can strip shields off of anything that isn't a Shield tanked sent, and x4.5 headshot multiplier. A Weapon that can 2HKO a good number of fits effortlessly needs a buff?

LEAVE MY DAMN SR ALONE DAMNIT! ITS FINE
I literally wreck the hell out of people with my standard one, its called charge your shots. 1 well placed charged shot puts down almost anyone at standard, stop trying to use it like a tac rifle and use it as a charge shot weapon.
Im a damn commando and I get put down all the time by SR's
I use all 4 Rifles and i think all of them are fine, how i beat each one
RR i close in fast and keep shooting because its not strong at closer ranges,
CR If on an assault i fall back and carefully place shots if on logi i close in
SR close in fast and dont pop out until close enough to get a kill shot
AR keep distant

I forgot to mention this, but there is one buff the ScR could really use. The pitch of the shots should get higher as it gets closer to overheat, so you have an audio cue as well as the visual one (which is hard to keep an eye on in the bottom corner as you're trying to track a moving target).

This buff would also aid the smart opponent since they would know when you're close to overheating, and could time their attack accordingly. I just think this would add depth/fun to the game.

CCP doesn't care about us Matari either.

Just look at our suits.

You cant be serious...

If you get beaten by an AR in CQC, it just means they were better than you, the AR is the most worthless Rifle right now.

I actually think the SCR is the worst rifle now (still all rifles go OVER the rest of the weapons) IMO.
Being the most expensive one to fit plus having the worst drawbacks while not REALLY out DPS the other ones.
The Charged shot is NOT worth the risk of overheating.

Again,i admitted being wrong in Page 3.
It seems that even the SMALL buff i proposed would make the SCR way ''too OP'', at least the community thinks this...
I'll just have to change my weapon then....
Considering the STANDARD Combat rifle hits harder PER R1 Button Press than MY Proto Scrambler rifle with Proficiency 4 (ONE R1 Button press = 1 STD Combat Rifle burst : 96 damage VS 89 damage per bullet my Viziam SCR with Proficiency 4, WITHOUT EVEN having to worry about overheating...), and that soon NO amarr suit will have the heat buildup reduction bonus, i think i'll take a NON Over-heatable weapon with better fitting cost as a Main weapon then.....

The problem is modded controllers on Ak.0 assaults. Also, the CR is not as good in CQC as the scrambler rifle (reflex scope versus tactical ACOG scope), as well as, in my opinion, better hip fire accuracy with the ScrR. If anything, the scrambler rifle and combat rifle should get a rof nerf so that they would achieve maximum dps at 5-6 presses per second with both, as well as a nerf to the CR, as it is easily abused as well. 5-6 presses is something achievable by most people. This would make the dps on these tactical weapons about fair to their automatic counterparts.

NEEDS A BUFF.

NOw before everybody starts loosing their s***...
Hear me out.
The RR owns the SCR in every range.
The CR owns the SCR in its own range (Each burst representing at least 96 damage{at STD level}, its a LOT more than the 79.5 per bullet a VIZIAM SCR can deal per R1 Button press)
The AR still owns the SCR at Closer ranges and Spraying and praying.

And both the AR and the Combat rifle are a LOT more cheaper than the Scrambler R to equip CPU/PG wise.

THE SCR rifles SHOULD be at the same level as the other rifles,but as always, amarr tech has been neglected lately by CCP...

There is a reason why the SCR rifle is almost completley unused nowadays.
Huge disadvantages, nothing to make them worth it.
AND NOW,the amarr Assault will LOOSE the bonus that increased the DPS output of the weapon!

I propose a 50% REDUCTION IN HEAT BUILDUP , for charged shots.

OR

a PROPER SCOPE

EDIT from PAGE 3:
Well guess i was WRONG then. Seems its just me feeling the SCR is Underpowered vs other Rifles.
SO i'll shush now.

Have you met my Scrambler Rifle? I can rip apart heavies faster than with an HMG.

NO i havnt.
No im not talking about heavies.
Im talking in the Rifle vs Rifle scenario.
No it shouldnt take to be an awesome player to be able to use a weapon correctly.
Yes im a SCR user and yes im having trouble vs other rifles.

Extra note: Damage mod stackers do not impress me.

And yet I went 65\6 with it today...

I assume if you are judging how often it is used compared to other rifle it is UP

But if you give it a buff now i just imagine myself being stupid high-scores with it.

If you see Viktor in FW and you're not Amarr , run. Squading with him it's hard to get any kills. The Scr needs no buff.

Although the Amarr bonus was the only one that made sense. They should have given all the suits unique likeable bonuses. It would make choosing a suit and play style more rewarding. Now everything is grey. No color.

ScR needs no buff at its current state, just keep the Assault ak.0 Bonus

Agreed x 1,000. All we loyal Amarr assault players want is to keep our racial bonus. It is why we skilled into that suit in the first place, CCP.

I am not one for respecs, neither do I care since I have been extremely careful and specific about my SP allocation

But... I skilled into the ScR and the Assault ak.0 the day it came out, why? because the suit and the weapon are two parts to a weapons system. One that costs near 4 mil SP for just the suit and the weapon, I skilled into the ScR because it is my weapon of choice and I skilled into the ak.0 because it was the suit that complimented my weapon.

Now, after 7 patches of me perfecting my chosen role and spending all my SP into maximizing the weapon system that is a Scrambler Rifle on an Amarr Assault suit, they (might) change it.

Yes I realize this might sound biased but I believe this is reasonable grounds for a respec or at least refund.

But you know what CCP? Keep the bonus and I wont complain. Take it away? then well, I guess I'm in for some tough adaptation.

You and me both, bud...although I may just stick to it, change or not, and hope for the best. I'm still holding out hope, though, that CCP listens to it's loyal Ak.0/SCR or LR users.

You hit the nail on the head. Damn a respec as long as you keep the Amarr assault bonus the same. If you change it, well then...

SCR is the worst rifle?
... Are you trolling?

The only time I would prefer another rifle would be in very CQC maps where I might use a combat rifle instead.

I'm sorry, but if you're losing 1v1 to rail rifles, unless it's right on the edge of their range, the problem is not the rifle.

The weapon is powerful without the heat bonus. With it, it morphs into an insane death machine that really has few equals. Of course, we -might- be losing the Amarr assault bonus but that isn't set in stone and even if we do the weapon will still be good.
