How so?
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I stated in another post that I'd like Ccp to give me the option to actually throw the freaking thing at enemies..at least surprise them for a second so I could run away Monty Python style!

Anit-vehicle teams(16) vs tanker squad(6)= 1 tanker kill due to a orbital strike thanks to the drop uplinks

It's really hard to take a scout out with it on a Gallente Assault.
Seriously just absorbing bullets.

I agree with him, and this is my rationale:
- The AR has a moderate shield bonus (10%), and moderate armor "dubuff" (10%).
- With the 25% bonus damage to shields, it does [(33 x 1.1) + (33 x 1.25)] (The math may be spotty, but I'm adding the damage a Duvolle puts out with the shield bonus to the bonus damage it does with Prof. 5)
Although the Duvolle does less damage to armor, it is not significantly less. One damage mod allows an AR to do close to it's listed damage on armor, while doing a lot of damage to shields. My personal belief is that the as a shield biased hybrid weapon, it does good damage to armor and excellent damage to shield, which is way better than the ScR (it already shreds shields) CR (It takes the longest to get through shields), and the RR (Takes the second longest to get through shields).
And from my experience, most people will duck into cover after just a second or two of fire - regardless of whether or not they actually resist that damage type. So it's better to be able to pop shields quickly (ScR and AR) and then hit them hard when they move again (AR only) than it is to struggle with shields (RR and CR) and deal with someone who's regenerated their shields by the time they move
Bottom line, AR crushes shields (at Prof. 5) while also having the potential to hit armor pretty hard at a high ROF. That sets up more weakened enemies than other rifles barring the ScR, while also having the ability to finish quickly

The Galente Assault Rifle (AR) has gone from one of DUST's most used weapons to one of its most least used weapons. This was largely because two new weapons - the Combat Rifle (CR) and the Rail Rifle (RR) - were introduced. These new weapons successfully removed the AR from it's position of "The best weapon for every fight", but also took it out of its race defined niche of CQC.
For the last few builds, 1.8 included, the AR has been unchanged or outclassed by many other weapons. But some of DUST's more reputable posters - Aisha to name one - have said that the AR has gotten a breath of fresh air. I responded to the last claim.
Hope that clears everything up
