I have been gone for awhile, and am way behind on the times, not that I was ever one to be current with the times, but I have been hearing about so called talk of the buffing that will happen during the next update, pertaining to the Laser Rifle. While the Laser Rifle was the bread and butter of my early videos, I helped in the nerfing by manipulating the broken weapon by extracting the tears of many fallen souls. There are other youtubers out there that claim to be the first and only extractor of tears, but they only want your views :).
What buffs are going into play, and part of the old Laser Rifles down fall was the spawn placements that we had at the time, for you was able to harvest a soul before the spawn was complete, as seen in the videos below.
Will the Laser Rifle ever be this viable of a weapon as seen in this videos below?

I hope not.
A range and optimal increase would be fine, I think. Considering that the only reason it's bad right now is that it's outranked by RR, that is.
I want lazors again.

Just about all of the stats on the laser are fine. It's effective range is fairly restricting, though, and is easily outclassed and overshadowed by the RR.

EDIT: What I mean is that it was great in 1.6. Fun to use, but not overpowering.
I am not seeing how the rail or combat rifle is any worse at this juncture than the old LR.
But every new update something is always turned into GOD MODE. |

I would like its range increased. It was the longest-ranged weapon, after all, and it does seem like it's a SR-equivalent weapon. I would also like its optimal increased. That it's only really effective inside a fifteen metre range (or whatever it is) is a bit stupid in my opinion.

I am really not able to run it due to only playing on the weekend, and no ISK farming. I easily go through 40 million ISK on a 2 day hiatus running open squads on the weekends... currently at 177,700 a death can be quite costly, and normally I am the only one in my open squads with subscribers that has the SP to run full proto.
The LR will never be like it once was... |

From what I heard the max and min range are being widened.
Also, the RR and CR are getting nerfed at least a little, so this will likely have a big impact on sufferers like the lazor.

Lasers have enough limitations, so its just fair to make them absolutely king in their designed ranges.
A weapon with that many downsides like overheat, heat up before firing at the enemy, a visible "look theres the dude" shoot animation and such a crippled range needs to have a damage output beyond crazy innthpse 20m, otherwise this weapon will always be trash and you will rarely see it on the fields.
Thats how the laser is designed, thats how it should be. If you qq about OP you dont know how the laser works.

As the last video shows, the laser rifle sucked and always will suck against armour tankers. I hope CCP make it as viable as this.
The range limit on the laser rifle is stupid.
After 100m, the efficiency drops, thats complete crap in my opinion.

The LR is works fine against armor, at optimal it will drop a heavy like a bag of wet hammers. If the effectiveness against armor is increased then it will be OP.

It needs more range, slightly higher damage and a better zoom.
It IS a laser after all...

It IS a laser after all... if they could implement these 3 changes, without going overboard on any them. i think the LR would settle into its desired role.
but even without the amarr suit, i still wreck stuff with. it takes tactics and excellent awareness to use as is. (something some people lack) |

I agree. In 1.6 it was still useful if you knew what you were doing, without being OP like in beta. I think a simple 10-20% range increase, a wider and more forgiving optimal (less dramatic falloff) and a damage increase with higher tiers would work wonders. A better scope would really be nice, too. (That or nerf the blasted RR into oblivion...)
p.s. Please people, let's spell it correctly.... it's L-A-Z-O-R!
