Sup, ain't played in a while, seeing as patch drops soon.
What's the word on the HMG and Heavies in general. Other than getting our deserved suit respec. Have I missed any big news or speculation?
Did the crybabies and no skill 1v1 kiddies who are under the impression that they should be able to effortlessly fight everything up to and including Gods and Laws of the Universe get my HMG nerfed again? Stealth or otherwise.
Any good theory crafting? |

From what I've seen in the forums, the general consensus is "HMGs are in the right/ a good place right now". I think people who use it are generally happy. There aren't any sweeping changes coming in 1.8 that affect it in any way either AFAIK.

as far as i know, our HMG is fine. 
its not being nurfed back to pre1.7 where its a giant BB gun that tickles the enemy's armor when shooting at them.
YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED!!!

HMG is going to be godly in 1.8. Less because of the HMG's stats and more because the Sentinel's damage resistance. Combat Rifle and Scrambler Rifle are going to be big contenders, making the Amarr Sentinel and Gallente Sentinel pretty badass.
They're no 1.7 Gal-Logi with 3 damage mods, but so long as you play smart each Sentinel will be so much better than the Heavy/Sentinel in 1.7

Feels fine to me,
I've been regularly shredding recently with the standard HMG and I regularly see the freaking 'Steelmine' all over the kills feed, if not that the 'Republic HMG' or whatever the minmatar proto LP HMG is.
Personally I'd like to see the normal HMG have more spread up close, like a larger 'cone' of fire making it easier to catch those pesky strafers and then the assault version have a tighter spread.
I can haz all your Officer Heavy weapons?

No stealth nerfs, but two stealth buffs:
1. In 1.8 it is one of the few weapons that isn't getting nerfed (AR, CR, RR, ScR are getting 10-15% nerfs).
2. Sentinels are also getting massive buffs - the bonuses are going from useless to amazing damage reductions.
I'll be going proto Gallente sentinel, but I'd prefer that it wasn't an 'I win' button at close range, which is what it'll be in 1.8. If someone gets the drop on my heavy they should at least have a chance, like they do at the moment. |

Don't forget that light weapons are getting damage reductions across the board in 1.8. Since the HMG isn't being touched (as far as I know) that pretty much adds up to an HMG buff.
I also feel like HMG proficiency skill is one of the more valid choices for weapons (post 1.8) seeing as it increases armor damage. If you run with flux grenades you should do quite well.
My only complaint with 1.8 is that the Minmatar Sentinel stats do not look very appealing compared to other racial heavies. Movement speed isn't that much better considering how much less base health you get, plus the damage resistances are for less popular weapons. |
