Scheherazade VII 224	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:32:00 - [1] - Quote 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.
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.
Denchlad 7 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 78	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:37:00 - [4] - Quote I only ever bring out my lolviziam if im in the mood to get toasted by RR's even at max damage output. If you can't accept change, you will fail in this world.
Hynox Xitio Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 69	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:38:00 - [5] - Quote There hasn't been any laser rifles. Not since the war. Unleash the Fogwoggler
Tectonic Fusion 1087	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:39:00 - [6] - Quote I haven't even tried to use it since Rail Rifles came out. If the ttk for Rail RIfles is low enough, I'll actually use the laser. Solo Player Squad status: Locked
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
COVERT SUBTERFUGE PSU GHOST SYNDICATE DARKSTAR ARMY 303	Posted - 2014.02.21 21:10:00 - [12] - Quote I use it as a laser pointer to highlight all the FW space we own on the star map as I'm giving my daily Amarr roflstomp debrief at the Republic barracks.

Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p TRA1LBLAZERS 738	Posted - 2014.02.21 22:07:00 - [14] - Quote it needs more range, as it is the Amarr long range precision weapon Kills- Archduke Ferdinand Balance!
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 2734	Posted - 2014.02.21 22:20:00 - [15] - Quote I get toasted with a ELM-7 about once every 3 months. I'm still a little scarred from the OP Viziams era, but they should be fixed. I GÖú Kittens.

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.
Martyr Saboteur Amarrtyrs 139	Posted - 2014.02.22 19:15:00 - [22] - Quote I use the Laser Rifle! I'm working on Prof. IV right now. Totally not Fizzer94's forum alt. Definitely just a random dude.

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.

Talos Alomar Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2048	Posted - 2014.02.23 02:48:00 - [34] - Quote I use the laser every time I log on. It's still kind of useful. I find it hilarious when I can power through a few RR users when I'm in my optimal. the LR is a rare enough beast that most people don't know or have forgotten to GTFO after the beam has been heated up a bit. It suffers from some big oversights, though. The weapon tiers are utterly and totally broken. There is absolutely no reason to use any higher than standard level LRs. The ELM and the Viziam do not do any more damage. I tested them all out and I noticed no extra damage output from the higher tiers leading to the only advantage being the fact the higher tiers can fire just slightly longer. And really it's only slightly. with amarr assault maxxed I can fire the STD LR until there is 20 charges left in the rifle. The Viziam can fire until there are 16 charges left. Sure the extra fraction of a second can do lots of damage but you rarely ever actually get to that point. And even then you'll be close to overheating. With the standard lasers OHs are no big deal. 100 damage or so. With the higher tiers those numbers go up to 175 and 225 IIRC. So that leaves the higher tier LRs actually way worse than the standard. They have higher fitting costs and are much more dangerous to use for an extremely meager bonus. If the LR tree got the same ~5% per tier damage boost as any other weapon and the OH penalty dropped to 100 for all tiers it'd be in a good spot, keeping in mind a dev stated that it is getting an extended range in 1.8 as well. The passive bonus from the LR operations skill is useless too. The cooldown sounds useful but in reality it is worthless. after firing the LR for long enough to get a kill you will want to reload. By the time you are done reloading then you will have a cool gun with or without passives. If you fired the gun for just a little bit then it won't be hot enough for the passive to be all that useful for you either. But if anyone wants to try to use the LR right now, There's some fittings I use that actually have good results. Well, good results considering you are using the LR. The one I run most often is on a standard amarr assault frame. Complex damage mod enhanced damage mod basic armor repper STD LR. Scrambler pistol Locus grenades Nano hive And the other LR fit I use is on an ADV assault suit. 2x Complex damage mods Enhanced armor plate Complex armor repper STD LR tt-3 assault SCP m-1 locus (though I'm thinking about upgrading to core) k-2 nanohive. Hope this helps any novice laser enthusiasts. Try to kill it all you want CCP, I still <3 my laser.
Arx Ardashir Imperium Aeternum 581	Posted - 2014.02.23 02:53:00 - [35] - Quote As I only run Amarr weapons on this character (my main), I do indeed use the laser rifle and have Prof 5 with it. Sometimes I do well, sometimes I blunder around like I'm shining it in my own eyes. I contribute nothing.
Bulletmonkey50 Savage Bullet 27	Posted - 2014.02.23 03:44:00 - [36] - Quote I still do. used it today, used it yesterday, used it since it came out. and i haven't abandoned it even though it isn't shining as much as it did in chromosome. but i cant wait for 1.8

KrazyEyeKilla Nyain San Renegade Alliance 33	Posted - 2014.02.23 04:19:00 - [41] - Quote Wished they gave it the original scope back. I know some people liked the iron sight and the current one is fine but always thought the weapon never needed any adjustments in that area.

Outperforms it and have no draw backs like losing dmg when the target gets closer, thats where it is situational, its great in situations where the enemy can't easily close range with you.

Echoist Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 184	Posted - 2014.02.23 13:41:00 - [46] - Quote I use it in just about every match unless my squad is going to spend a lot of time indoors. Got level 5 prof. in everything except outfitting which might I max out coming this next patch. It's a very good weapon if you know what you're doing with it and when to engage enemies, in other words you become your squad's own personal portable fire suppression it's also great if used in conjuction with someone else using an armor damaging weapon or sniper.

Yeah, nothing like a bright beam of light to give your position away. Unfortunately that is another negative knock to the weapon. Everyone knows where the LR user is.
