I've been thinking a LOT what the new Assault bonus will MEAN for Assault players after 1.8 hits.
I want to know if im wrong here but, it seems that 10% more RoF will make a LOT of weapons even MORE beastly.
Thinking not only of the CR and the AR which already excel in RoF, but on OTHER weapons that will benefit from this bonus!
Say.
SHOTGUNS? (Proficiency RoF increase + Assault Bonus ? o.o)
SNIPER RIFLES? (Like the TAC)
Will Assaults be the best Snipers and Shot-gunners there is?
I simply cannot imagine how a scout can be as devastating as a speed tanked + Profile dampened, Minmatar Assault with 3 cx damage mods and a shotgun...i just.....cant...
What do YOU people think?
What other weapons you think will have their performance HIGHLY improved by this assault bonus?

Very true. Weapons with ALREADY very slow RoF wont be affected that much from this bonus ( a MINMATAR Commando will be able to use a Mass Drivers a lot more effectivley). I mentioned the SG since Proficiency already gives another RoF increase and the difference is highly noticeable.

Sure, the assault will be able to fire the Sniper faster, but can you get all shots on target? Why not go Cal Commando for the 10% bonus damage.
Though, the ROF bonus IMO is pretty bad. It doesn't do anything for the normal ScR or laser rifle, so Amarr assaults gain no real benefit from it. I'm not sure if it'll affect the normal CR either as the ROF stat, from my understanding, isn't tied to the gap between bursts. So 2 out of the 4 races main rifles (the staple of the assault class) won't benefit from the assault bonus. A bit silly if you ask me.
Well Amarr not getting anything out of a bonus is not something NEW (im looking at you current Sentinel bonus and future Amarr scout/Assault bonus... =.= ), thats why i was thinking in other weapons that might get a huge improvement with such a thin bonus.
Say, maybe the Assault RR?....
