So your weapons damage has been reduced ... boohoo
It has had the SMALLEST damage reduction (%) out of all the rifles .. how on earth you can complain about that is beyond me ..;
Oh so your proficiency has been changed so you will find it harder to kill armor suit s.. well .. you get 120% v shields and eat them for breakfast .. why should you be super strong v shields AND super strong v armor ?
I've just read some nonsense from True Adamance complaining about having the 2nd longest range behind the RR as well as a post from Aisha saying how weak the SCR is going to be in 1.8 ...
Honestly it's ridiculous .. how can you complain after getting the smallest nerf ?
I haven't complained about the RR being nerfed I just feared it'd be overnerfed and the SCR would be left alone but I'm glad the SCR has been nerfed as well as the other rifles and i'm interested to see what the changes are like in 1.8.

I don't feel that I should be restricted to one specific type of suit I can kill.
Any well fit Amarr Ship with Pulse Lasers can kill any other ship,...... now it will and I have covered myself admitting it will need testing.....but looking at numbers the ScR will still be over shadowed by RR at range, CR at mid range, and doesn't have the 1v1 stopping power it used to.......
Will definitely require a change to my playstyle involving more charged shots to punch through shield and armour.....but I'll adjust.
I'm simply concerned weapons will now have insane TTK against their tanking type, and **** poor against the others.....but again time will tell.

The problem i think comes from the fact that the skill for heat will disapear, which makes the weapon less usefull, as a prof 5 user i can tell you that its hard to handle when you shoot someone and he fall because he uses shield then someone buffed with armor comes and shred you. So this weapon has a kind of unpredictability that is not as much noticable from other weapons.
I personnaly will continue to use it notheless, lower ttk will enable some level of strategy and not die on the spot 1 vs 1 amored tank, like having a side arm good for armor...

I, for one, welcome these changes to specialize each weapon and suit. |

Faulty Logic.
ScR has the highest damage values, so small percentages will still have a larger effect.

I've never once said after dieing to an SCR.
"Boy, if they removed 7 Damage from that weapon it would not be OP!"
I've always said, that if they changed the weapon so it becomes less easy to spam and less reliable in CQC then it'd be balanced. SCR needs to be Medium - Long Range.
And before anyone says the SCR would then be getting beaten by the RR at that range, the SCR would have the ability to beat any trade with an RR user with its charge shot.

Bold prediction, if you end up using both on the same Frame please let us know how it goes. If CCP reintroduced the old beam-cooking mechanic then I would agree one hundred percent.
If the Devs do it right the Scrambler Rifle will still have the better short-term DPS and the Laser Rifle a steady long-term damage. Which is what it sounds like they are doing for these mid to mid-long range weapons.

1% of 100 (1) is smaller than 50% of 4 (2) so your statement isn't always the case.
It is all dependant on the actual percentages themselves and the original number that is being affected, really my mistake was not actually listing the % and stat changes and differences in damages themselves but I thought you'd have at least looked at them beforehand.
It's irrelevant anyway, what was your point about SCR by the way ? Or were you just here to be pedantic ? |

Complaining because we already do 120% against shield and eat them for breakfast without proficiency. Shields are never stacked too highly either, even on the sentinel ck.0 it won't be that much. In essence it just feels like the proficiency skill is now a waste.
Would much rather have proficiency get changed to something completely non-damage related and perhaps more weapon specific.

Go back and read the OP because you clearly didn't understand what you just read judging from the 1st sentence you used in your comment.
And no you aren't getting another heat reduction skill or a boost to armor damage skill .. they would just make the weapon OP and increase the gap between new players and vets

Hmmmmm.... not going to lie I could DPS down suits pretty quickly but the ScR was never and OP weapon just good at what it was designed to do.

I hope they changed the fire mechanic too. After all, we all know TCs (turbo-controllers) are still going to be a problem post-1.8 if nothing is done. Every time I see one being used, all I can think is "Whoa. Get good." (No, not the Scrambler Rifle. I do mean the TC. Anyone who has rolled with me knows that I used the ScR too. I'm just not bad enough to use a TC with it.)

Thats how its mea t to be, you are amarr you use laser tech, therefore you are strong against shields and weak to explosives. The thing is TTK for you won't be ridiculously short against shields as you aren't getting a shield damage buff.
This game is meant to be built for diversity, you are gonna come across those who you are weak to and those who are weak to you. If you don't like the extra level of gameplay then sit in a tank and stop whining.
As a Mass Driver user Shields are a big thing against me, the slugs just won't push through, especially in .8. I am going to have to rely upon either a shield based weapon OR a team mate to eliminate the majority of shields on high value targets, because my Mass Driver won't be able to do it. That said in an emergency I can brute force it and crack the shields just in time to reload.
BUT if they wield my weakness and I wield their resistance they should win 98% of the time, that's the damn point.
Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work.

Honestly I believe the SCR/ASCR will be be outright under the best rifles in 1.8, I never had any problems to bring down armor based suits with it.
The RR my still be more popular as it is more easy to use and a little bit more flexible, but anyone who excel with the CR will do more than fine with the SCR and the ASCR will give give the best Range/DPS ratio of all Rifles... |

The scrambler might get the smallest nerf, but it is also hit the hardest by the damage mod nerf. Losing 18% damage from two complex damage mods hurts the ScR more than any other weapon due to the overheat mechanic. Yes, the other weapons will have to chew through more ammo, as will the ScR, but the ScR will have to be pushed even closer to overheating just to kill someone. That is not true from the other light weapons. And an hmg could easily kill five or more people before it overheats.
Gun control is not about guns...it's about control.
The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

Ah what you don't understand is what is actually being nerfed on the ScR. We now are required to put X more shots into a target to down them, given that we over heat at X rounds, being say 15..... as such we are now distinctly more prone to over heats.
Now this is more of an indirect nerf and will require some play style changes from us ScR users but it should be possible to over come and work on the same level we used to.

I promise you wouldn't, as it's not practical for the PC arena. You can't be bringing a weapon that has the potential for a heat lock-up into that kind of competition. 1-2 SCRs on a team is all you need and should use because they can't go diving onto a point of 12 players and expect to live long enough to make a play at a hack.
But yes, lag makes that weapon useless in a hurry. Unlike all the other spray-and-pray weapons in the game, people forget thta tSCR isn't just a hold down R1 and throw out 400DPS without any marksman skill what-so-ever... but nonSCR users just never understand that gun but b*tch about it all the time...
...also, buff the TacAR back to its former glory, CCP!

They are moaning because they are so used to the insanely high burst DPS scrubler rifle, and now it might not be so OP.
The charged shot scrambler rifle has needed a rate of fire reduction since for ever. Remember the TAC rifle? The scrambler rifle has the same damage per shot, similar range, a huge increase on magazine size. Amazing ammo effeciency (Better than almost any other weapon) and a charge shot mechanic. All while keeping its OP rate of fire.
Its only downside is the heat mechanic which is largely mitigated on an Amarr assault suit. It has been plagued with bugs that let the overheat mechanic be completely nullified in the past as certainly needs a nerf.
The TAC AR needs a small rate of fire buff, say 450-500 rpm give or take, and a modest magazine increase.
The scrambler just needs a rate of fire decrease to the same level. 450-500 rpm I think.
I dont mind anything about that rifle, other than it can be absolutely spam fired like a machine gun and it DOES DO very similar / more burst DPS than pretty much any other infantry weapon in the game.
It actually makes the shotgun look like a stupid choice in close quarters as it probably does way more dps, and you still have the ability to fire at range. (In all honesty most rifles are better than the shotgun for 50%+ of CQC work and certainly ALL have the added benefit of extra range but I guess that is a separate issue)

This is just amusing, some people's blind fury for the scrambler.
Not at all. I propose rational thought out changes.
The rate of fire is clearly a source of its hatred. Are you telling me that you do not think the scrambler should have a reduced rate of fire? (I'm talking a reasonable one, not nerfed into the ground like other weapons have been)

I'll tell you right now that the scrambler rifle isn't used so much in PC due to the threat of LAG, Not because of it's effectiveness, if it weren't for the random lag in PC you'd see it far more often. I promise you wouldn't, as it's not practical for the PC arena. You can't be bringing a weapon that has the potential for a heat lock-up into that kind of competition. 1-2 SCRs on a team is all you need and should use because they can't go diving onto a point of 12 players and expect to live long enough to make a play at a hack. But yes, lag makes that weapon useless in a hurry. Unlike all the other spray-and-pray weapons in the game, people forget thta tSCR isn't just a hold down R1 and throw out 400DPS without any marksman skill what-so-ever... but nonSCR users just never understand that gun but b*tch about it all the time... ...also, buff the TacAR back to its former glory, CCP!
Hmm the only drawback I can see here is the inability to switch to a sidearm. On any suit the SCR is able to dish out roughly 18 rounds thats what the Tac and the CR can as well (54 bullets in clip with 3 bullets per burst = 18 burts)
So on the Tac or the CR you have to reload whereas on the SCR you have to wait for the weapon Cool down. If you don't overheat the weapon does not lock at all so you could also switch to a sidearm its more a thing of timing.
On OP 5 the cool down will take 4.5 secs the Tac Reloads in 3s and the CR in 2.6. So this is a slight disadvantage. Overall I would say currently CR and SCR are pretty close together.
In 1.8 the SCR will get a boost by beeing less nerfed, so it will be overall better that the CR even though it is a little more tricky to use. With the Amarr Assault you can further widen the gap in favor of the SCR.
Not to mention the ASCR that will clearly have the best DPS / Range ratio

Scramblers blow up on you constantly. That hurts you when that happens. Assault scrambler rifles are the hardest weapon to use in this game. Why even touch them? Its purely a skilled weapon. everyone should only use the scrambler rifle diring the event. We'll have it done in an hour.

Just to be clear, I think the ScR does far to well outside its role and on a Amarr Assault suit, the thing becomes near impossible to fight unless you are using a CR or RR. It eats through heavy suits.
That being said, the weapon is getting a big nerf(though it will still out perform a AR)
However, the nerf doesn't come from the dmg itself being dropped, it's the change to dmg mods and prof skill that will effect it most.
These changes, I think, will balance the weapon...then nerf it just pass that.
It will rip through shields, but then what? You have to eat through 450-1000+ armour. It wouldn't be so bad if it was only armour tankers to worry about, almost every suit has a plate or two. So even once you get through the Caldari Assault/Logis 500 or shields, then you have to fight another 400+ armour.
My solution? Shield damaging weaponry get 4 percent bonus in prof instead of 3.

Would much rather have proficiency get changed to something completely non-damage related and perhaps more weapon specific. This^ I want a proficiency respec and a damage mod respec and only get prof in sidearm and weapons like the rail rifle/assault rifle.

As someone who doesn't use the ScR as often as a specialist but knows enough about it's design...
It's a really worrisome weapon when it comes to nerfing. It's primary use is for high alpha damage. If you take away it's high alpha damage or simply nerf it to be not that much more compared to the other rifles, it will pretty much become useless. It overheats, can cause damage to the user, can only one shot, and is an extreme on the damage spectrum(at least for rifles).
If it received low enough of a nerf, you would be better off switching with the GLU/Tactical Duvolle and that's a poster boy for being UP.

I hate it, but I can't ignore balance. Everybody should get to use what they want, and it should be effective at its job and just as good as weapons in its same class.
That said, I really think the ScR is working to well outside of its role and the nerf across the board was needed for all rifles. It just so happens that the ScR(along with the AR) is getting the worst end of the stick since it does the least amount of dmg to armour and I think they are going to fall behind(but still ahead of the AR) the other rifles. The AScR will still compete, just not as well as it was.

ScR overheats very quickly when not on an assault suit, no other rifle (aside from the amarrian laser rifle) has this problem. Miss a shot now, die. You can cause ~600 damage before overheat now on a non-bonused suit. How much damage can you do before you are rendered 100% helpless?
ScR is by far the hardest of the rifles to fit by a LONG way.
ScR and TAR are the only true skill-shot rifles.

Note though: You have to have over 50% charge to cloak again.
This means that the Basic cloak will require 15s to be used again from empty The ADV will require 15, but the PROTO will require 20s.
But with 80s of cloak from the proto, I doubt you will be seeing you go below half charge a lot. That's 40s of cloak to burn through.

Oh so your proficiency has been changed so you will find it harder to kill armor suit s.. well .. you get 120% v shields and eat them for breakfast .. why should you be super strong v shields AND super strong v armor ?
I've just read some nonsense from True Adamance complaining about having the 2nd longest range behind the RR as well as a post from Aisha saying how weak the SCR is going to be in 1.8 ...
Honestly it's ridiculous .. how can you complain after getting the smallest nerf ?
I haven't complained about the RR being nerfed I just feared it'd be overnerfed and the SCR would be left alone but I'm glad the SCR has been nerfed as well as the other rifles and i'm interested to see what the changes are like in 1.8.
ScR overheats very quickly when not on an assault suit, no other rifle (aside from the amarrian laser rifle) has this problem. Miss a shot now, die. You can cause ~600 damage before overheat now on a non-bonused suit. How much damage can you do before you are rendered 100% helpless? ScR is by far the hardest of the rifles to fit by a LONG way. ScR and TAR are the only true skill-shot rifles. Rail rifle is only a little bit easier to fit and if you know that the gun you are using overheats quickly try not to be so trigger happy. The nerf that the ScR received is really not that bad, its still gonna have the highest alpha damage, its still gonna one shot a lot of suits be glad that it hasnt been nerfed a lot more.

I cant be BUT happy about 1.8, because all the bull **** damage mods they would put on there and 1 hit Scouts with it. It's about GOD DAMN time we go back to 1.2-1.3 era when my KDR sky rocketed because of Scouts being OP. Wooo I can't wait. I'M GONNA HAVE ME SOME FUN! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGitN3vC0xE Dude, I will still OHK every single scout in the game even with a Viziam WITHOUT damage mods. You're not safe. Thats what the cloak is for. The moment I see a Scrambler in the kill feed, I'm just gonna hide. My Shield scout isn't made for that crap That's kind of amusing to think that once a scout sees a "Viziam Scrambler Rifle" in the kill feed that they freak out a little.
I don't freak out, I just know that people who use it are predictable and will damage mod it because they can't get a kill with it on base stats/prof.V. Now that, is amusing. |

Overheat. And, "eat shield" LIKE EVERY WEAPONS IN THIS GAME. Less damage means it's going to be rough to kill someone witohut overheating.
Anyway we're not really complaining about the weapon it self but the fact proficiency is USELESS on it. While others weapon (Anti armor) will become OP. Especially CR who have no penality. (5% on shield...is NOTHING.) |
