whiny QQing faggots will tell you it isnt

but i think it is. Scramblers are OP as ****, and will still be when the patch drops

Edit: Amarr always looked the best to me, because it has a balance between armor and shields, although it sacrifices speed to a small degree

Then why is not everyone using them?

Never hear people go: "Damn i hate those FOTM Amarr Assault users and there OP scram rifles"

Because 1.8 hasn't dropped yet to nerf the **** out of all the rifles.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You narrow-minded peons who think you can run around with armor-based weapons and kill everything, are going to get a harsh awakening when a shield-tanking suit fucks your day up.

Hey look, no mention of the combat rifle (30% more damage per trigger pull, 102.5% damage profile, lol fittings)

I didn't realize a complex kinetic catalyer worth of speed was small, apparently it is to you.

Listen, the amarr assault is a choice ONLY if you want to use scrambler rifles or laser rifles. That is the only reason anyone uses them. Honestly, outside of FW (or even inside of it) how often do you see the amarr assault ak.0, or even amarr assaults anymore? I see minmatar assaults as often as I see amarr assaults.

OH, and like people choose to ignore... 2 slots > 1 (for instance, 2 x basic armor plates is 170 HP while using 20 CPU and 2 PG with 4% movement penatly vs 135 HP, 30 CPU , 12 PG, 5% movement and over 2xs the cost.)

Also, this huge fitting advantage.. I don't see it... Sure the amarr assault has a TON of CPU, but it is entirely PG limited. I have never even come close to maxing out the CPU (I normally have at least 70-80 left) when I run out of PG.The ak.0 has 8 more PG than the mk.0, that is nothing, especially when best case scenario the prototype scrambler tka e7.75 more PG than the proto type combat rifle.

Ok, a few problems here.
1. The ak.0 is MUCH more prevalent than mk.0, MUCH.
2. The armor vs shield discussion is a LENGTHY one, but one that CCP is aware of. Do a forum search, many many threads point this out. And while you're stacking 170 hp over 2 slots, good players are stacking 270 hp with reps. The point being you don't need to be fast when your optimal is upwards of 60m. Kincats on an amarr assault are for a niche build at best.

3. And the PG limited? bro, get your core up. The amarr assault is the EASIEST suit to fit all proto on, hands down, no exceptions at all. Maybe you need to read the patch notes? Assaults are receiving a 5% reduction per level to fitting reqs on weaps. So your point about the ScR costing too much is null and void.

With a scrambler you have to chose your engagements. Getting caught in a large, multi target firefight is a nightmare, as you overheat and have to just sit there. Oh, and running around a corner into 2 heavies normally results in an respawn. You can get the most DPS out, but if you don't manage to land all your shots, or if you don't manage your heat, you wind up murdering yourself with overheat
