I'm happy about it. Assault rifles shouldn't be the best, they should be sub par to other specialized weapons. I'm happy to see them needed for the sake of other weapons.

the AR has been the worst rifle since the other rifles came out. it never was the best since the RR/CR were released. now that all the other guns fit racial characteristics, the AR needs to fit its racial characteristics as well. its already the shortest ranged rifle, but it needs to be effective in that short range. all your guns can already out-range ours, giving you and advantage over us. the whole argument that the AR is the weapon thats the jack-of-all trades but master at none needs to be made invalid now. because with all the other rifle ranges, its not even a jack-of-all trades now. it need to be feared if some loser is actually within its range. feared like a shotgun or HMG is now at point-blank range.

anyways, to the topic poster, the guns were nerfed to increase time-to-kill (TTK). its been said a million times by other and i. with its current rate-of-fire combined with its damage per shot, maybe the AR will be more devastating now. the AR was the 3rd lowest nerfed percentage-wise, and the second lowest in raw stats (the smg was hit the lightest in raw stats). we'll see how this turns out.

Again I wasn't talking about the plasma rifle I was talking about assault rifles in general. It is effective at short range, I get killed by them all the time. I take assault rifles very seriously as a caldari. They do more damage against my shields, that's a threat to me. In close range I'm not as effective with my RR, especially if they break LOS and make me charge my rifle. The at is still very much viable in 1.7, I know, I have prof 5. It shouldn't be a jack of all trades weapon, its an assault rifle.
