Roy Ventus Axis of Chaos 1240	Posted - 2014.03.05 14:40:00 - [1] - Quote The AR master in me wants to say, "HEY that 4 point decrease in damage is hurting me." But then I go and check the stats and realize... The RR just received a huge nerf. Standard goes from 55 to 47, and the Kalaakotiota goes from 60.1 to 51.7. The Combat Rifle goes from 32 pts of damage to 27 with the Boundless going from 35.2 to 29.7. The Scrambler Rifle gets punched down from 72 to 65 while the Viziam is 79.2 to 71.5 MEANWHILE. THE ASSAULT RIFLE GETS NERFED BY 4 PTS. OMG THE INSANITY. Really, I think people are just flipping out because that's what they're the best at. The variants of the AR are pretty much the same as before. Some liked where the variants were at, others don't. Imo, I could've dealt with less of a nerf on the tactical but we'll see how well it does in 1.8. "There once was a time when there wasn't a Roy Ventus and it wasn't much of a time at all." Roy Ventus

Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 1924	Posted - 2014.03.05 14:51:00 - [3] - Quote The variants have a lower DPS than AR right now. Come 1.8 they'll be better than AR in every measurable way. ACR will truly be king of the assault weapons MD/MSMG 514 Assault ak.0: 2x extender, 1x energiser, 2x regulator, 1x repper. Any advice?

Right now, the ACR sucks in comparison to the AR because it's too fast and the recoil can be gnarly. And don't get me started on the ammo and clip. The AR is steady and allows for more versatility. If the most recent Minmatar Assault bonus stays the same, the ACR, and CR for that matter, will at least get a buff for their ammo.

Imo, I could've dealt with less of a nerf on the tactical but we'll see how well it does in 1.8. The thing is the AR is still outmatched by the other racial counterparts. So the CR does still way more DPS, the RR still delivers roughly the same DPS at way greater range. To make things even worse the SR gets less nerfed than the Tac AR so the gap between the two even got wider making the SCR currently the overall best semi automatic rifle. And not to forget the MagSec delivers nearly the same combat performance like the AR. This means the AR has practically been degrades to a sidearm... Yeah totally great changes :/. The only good thing is the adjustment of Damage mods...

Some people will still keep crying about weapons that kills them (Specially the ones they didn't spec into) Normally the weapons all the cry babies spec into are the "Skilled Weapons" and everything else is EZ mode. That's just dust playerbase logic and CCP listens to them no matter what the actual facts are. Like i've mentioned before, all it takes is a few cry baby posts on the forums and One can overcome their weaknesses by nerfing their enemies lol
MINA Longstrike 2Shitz 1Giggle United Brotherhood Alliance 341	Posted - 2014.03.05 15:31:00 - [9] - Quote The change to proficiency will hurt a lot of weapons far more than the slight base damage nerfs. In fact the change to prof still makes the rail & cr better than the assault.

In fact the change to prof still makes the rail & cr better than the assault. How so? The way I took the proficiency change is that, the damage bonuses we gain will only apply to what the weapon is most effective against. E.G. My AR adds the proficiency skill's bonus damage to shields but not to armor. It stop the weapons from being more effective against the tank that's resistant to them. At first glance it sounds OP but it would pretty much be the same way it is right now except it becomes harder to kill us when dealing with resistant material.

Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 1216	Posted - 2014.03.05 15:46:00 - [11] - Quote the AR will be far supiror then the ACR against shields. so up against a shield based opponents you would most definatly swap the ACR for either an AR (for cqc) or a ScR if your more inclined. basically working as intended. its either that or you get good with fluxes
