anyone?

i used the ELM earlier (no prof) and 2x complex damage mods.

I went 27-5 in my best game, if it wasn't for ******* snipers too scared to come to the objective I would have been 30-2
that's a good score regardless for an extremely hard to use weapon.

Taking on heavies with it is pretty good, the problem is you HAVE to have the high ground, if somebody sneaks up
on you, you're toast. The problem with that is the stupid amount of snipers this game has.

I remember when people would sit on the roof and go 30-0, 40-0 without a problem using the Viziam.
It was over-powered, then they broke it.

How do CCP make it so ZERO people use a certain weapon after they "tweak" it, it's either OP or UP but always broken.

Anyway does anybody use this gun? does anybody rise to the challenge or do you all spam rail rifles? (stupid question).
It's satisfying to use and once it receives a buff it will be DEADLY.

hey I was your squad leader.

Aisha Ctarl Fatal Absolution 3477	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:34:00 - [2] - Quote I use it occasionally and do well with it, I just find it funny that light is out ranged by projectiles in this game. I could list the ways how we Amarr are better than you, but your lesser mind wouldn't comprehend it.
Green Living 0uter.Heaven 1196	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:35:00 - [3] - Quote Been using the LR since its inception, proficiency 5. Haven't bothered touching it since 1.7. Hopefully 1.8 will be a new day for the LR, though I wont hold my breath.

Your Absolut End SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 396	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:42:00 - [7] - Quote I use it from time to time, LR/SMG combo still rocks the house, but yeah its a sniper weapon, as soon as you have a cover fight on the ground you're ****. I love the idea behind the LR, bt it does unfortunately to less damage for its disadvantages. I wouldn't even say the LR ever was OP. What made it appear OP looking back in chromo was the size limitation on 1(!!!) map in 1(!!!) gamemode. It was manus peak in ambush, once you got the fishbowl you were superior cos everybody was in your optimal range, the weapon just worked as ists supposed to be in other gamemodes and other maps, but well forum-stupidity won once more in history of Dust lol another one bites the Dust... Born as Kameira, die as Kameira, my life for the Empress!**
Scheherazade VII 224	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:44:00 - [8] - Quote it's still usable though guys, but yeh it's heavily outclassed by the rail rifle, so is everything, did they even test that gun? 80m, 800 damage in one second? yeh that's fine ******* release it already. anyway once the LR gets buffed people are in trouble, all these RR scrubs on the ground (once their range is nerfed) will be constantly running around in circles trying to get away from our beams!!! If we get a respec ill probably switch accounts just to so ill have the SP to prof V the LR!!!
Vrain Matari Mikramurka Shock Troop Minmatar Republic 1644	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:58:00 - [9] - Quote About to try it for the first time ever, after almost 2 years with the game - on my Ammarian alt, will be speccing into it this weekend. But after the scrmbler Rifl, i'm suspecting that anything else will be a letdown. I support SP rollover.
Greasepalms Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 482	Posted - 2014.02.21 21:07:00 - [10] - Quote yep, it's my main weapon along with the ScR. You can get insane damage going on if you focus a heated beam on someone's head, the problem with that is the scope is inappropriate for its engagement range. gibe better scopez pls ccp

DJINN Loki 120	Posted - 2014.02.21 21:10:00 - [11] - Quote i use it on an alt that i play on occasion. i like to imagine that people on the other side are like and im like . i think its a good way to surprise people and its a challenge word

I've got a corpie that does pretty much the same thing, gets on that map finds a high point and just melts faces off with it. Otherwise the LR stays at home.

Green Living 0uter.Heaven 1200	Posted - 2014.02.22 19:08:00 - [21] - Quote What others are saying. The weapon isn't UP it's just far too situational at the moment. I prefer to play the game and not camp one of the few areas on certain maps that the weapon is viable in.

I kinda remember, Anmol Singh invited me in and it was fun but then I got mad about ** in the game had to ragequit the squad looool all i have to say is people like "its me" don't hold a candle to Anmol Singh, he destroyed several hardened gunnlogis and madrugars with nothing but a Sica.
The Robot Devil Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1705	Posted - 2014.02.22 20:14:00 - [25] - Quote I use an ELM on my advanced Amarr assault suit. I am a bad shot so my best is like 7/5, I am a logi. It is great and I love it on the Amarr assult. It's the only assault I use and pretty much my second choice after a Exile AR.

Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 3174	Posted - 2014.02.22 20:16:00 - [26] - Quote I had proficiency and then got the Templar set. That Assault & Laser setup just feels . . . right. If it wasn't for the Rail & Combat rifles it would be among the most balanced weapons in the game. It's OP in the right hands, and UP in the wrong ones. Just how it should be. You can go an entire match and wonder why anybody thinks it needs a buff. Then a Rail Rifle decides he doesn't like you. No.

No, you use the Amarr's stamina to flank an entrenched enemy, then you reap the war points with that epic damage output. No.
