The patch hasn't hit. Some people (myself included) feel the AR will all but die post 1.8. The reason I personally feel this way is because with ARs being an anti shield weapon, whenever you fire it, and your shots hit armor, your weapon proficiency does not apply. Your AR proficiency could be at 5, but if you are hitting armor, it might as well be 0. Not only that, but hits on armor only do 80% of the ARs damage.
This works the other way as well. The Combat and Rail rifle will be good against armor, but weak in the same ways against shields.
So whats the problem? Many people (again, myself included) feel that shields are not currently working properly and or just flat out suck. Whenever it was that they buffed armor so long ago (1.3, 1.4 ish, can't remember) they broke shields in the process. Armor, in my mind, is the far superior type of hp to run, and I honestly chuckle a little to myself when I see people speak of dual tanking at this time in the game.
Anyway, thats why I personally feel the AR is gonna be all but forgotten post 1.8. Hell, watch the kill feed right now, all CR/RR. I could be completely wrong, but if i'm not, the ScR is gonna feel the pinch as well.
On getting the sp back. Meh, no big deal. If you have the AR 5ed out, thats still a good thing to have. If you're a slayer you may not be crazy about it, but if you work with a squad you could still be an effective part of it.
Plus we literally just got a free 2 mil sp, and dropsuit command refund next week. I'd say you are getting a little greedy at this point lol. Also, ground is going to be an awful, hellish place to be next build. Which is why I will be going airborne

Oh gee really? I can't just stand there and hope my shields don't drop?
Yea, i'm aware of how it goes. I can also take massive chunks of shields away from enemies in fractions of second, just as everyone else can. If speed tanking was more viable shields might not be as ridiculous, but its not.
As for CoD, i've never played it, i'm gonna have to take your word on how it works.
