With 3 complex dmg mods and prof 5, the charge shot becomes 560 dmg, and a Gallente commando with 1 complex dmg mod would do 535 dmg with it. If it has a "standard" headshot bonus (like the AR, shotgun, etc.) that's 1.5x. That's 840 damage in the former case, and 803 in the latter. That's enough to 1-shot almost any suit in the game.
The commando bonus doesn't apply, that is only light weapons not sidearms. On top of that you now have a slow suit whose engagement range is 20 meters and each shot takes a full second and a half. |

CCP long range balance is like going against a 50 caliber anti-armor sniper rifle with a nerf pistol.
Armor and Shields are not the same!

Just imagine if the bonus was a RoF bonus, or a range bonus or both. Agree why we complaining about a pistol that has not come out or no footage of it in action, so i say just wait till it comes out and see how it does before we make a thing about it We have the stats. From the stats it is ridiculously obvious that the Ion Pistol is bad.
No, we don't. We have some stats. Stats don't say whether or not it could be a pocket shotgun that fires 2-3 rounds per trigger pull, not so crappy now is it? |

Hmm. True, The 3-complex mod setup would still work though. Working around the charge (on a Scrambler/Charge Sniper) is quite workable though. Especially for that kind of damage.
