What's all the QQ about? The ROF bonus was not even worth the SP investment. & except for KN's the shotty is the only weapon not getting nerfed by the proficiency changes. In fact it is getting a buff & will still maintain the same damage against armor as it does now. Just wait for 1.8 before you flood the forums with your tears. |

The same damage per shot yes, but 15% (At level 5) decreased DPS. Something that it certainly didn't need.
@ IWS - Seriously just get out now. The CPM is a joke.
You know, its all about remote explosives now.
Enemy tank? Remote explosives or jihad jeep.
Heavy / heavies camping an objective? Remote Explosives.
Enemy assault derpship? Ram a cheap militia derpship into him.
Remotes are pretty much the answer to most things now....
LOL, hahahahahahaha. Me not used the shotgun much? Hahhahahahaha
OT, The shotgun has always been better with less skills invested. Sure the ROF bonus was nice, but again not worth the SP needed to get there. The benefits are marginal at best, while the SP investment is exponential. |

I have used it far more than most of you who crying about it have. I ran Shotty exclusively until I got my MInitar Rifle(the only rifle I have ever used in the game, btw) We have been asking for a damage increase for forever. & when we get one(however minor) this is what you guys do? |

Actually it is changing for 1.8 CCP Remnant wrote:This applies to all weapons other than the Nova Knife (which retains the damage bonus). HereGÇÖs the breakdown of the new bonuses:
- Bonus to damage against shields: Plasma Cannon, Scrambler Pistol, Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Scrambler Rifle, Laser Rifle, Ion Pistol
- Bonus to damage against armor: Rail Rifle, Swarm Launcher, Submachine Gun, Sniper Rifle, Magsec SMG, Heavy Machine Gun, Forge Gun, Flaylock Pistol, Combat Rifle, Bolt Pistol, Mass Driver
They have made no statment suggesting that the SG's damage against armor is changing. & since the SG never had a damage skill, there should not be any reduction to damage against armor from 1.7 to 1.8. With Cal heavies & omni tanked med & light frames coming, I see the SG change as a good thing. With damage mods getting nerfed, we will see more shield tanking. In 1.7 this change would have been useless, in 1.8 we'll just have to wait & see.
