so i have heard statements about the laser rifle being broken or useless "not an elite class weapon" dafuc
The laser rifle is currently one the most unique weapons in dust..it deals absurd dmg instantaneously incinerating massive abouts of hp with death touch ability reaching out over 100m. it was buffed severly with 1.8 base dmg...buffed the dmg multiplier..the overheat function...its dmg and dmg output was scaled through the tiers unlike before.
it still requires skill and understanding to use though
the laser rifle is undoubtedly usable on any suit but on the amar assault or commando its really going to shine.
allot of people greatly under estimate this weapon..ceo pyrex made a funny video where he claims its a support weapon. i also noted you were not on a suit that benefits the laser anyway. and tbh you seems to have a hard time staying on your targets..the zoom fidelity did throw me off for a few as well when i first tried it 1.8
i run my amar assault like a true blood amarrian..i have 3 dmg mods a load of armor and allot of stamina. i will be forming a squad of veteran laser rifle users..and we will be stomping across new eden. i set laser rifle aside for a bit post 1.8 to tune and tweak my amar logi for pc. i had to adjust it to 1.8. my laser rifle assault suit that i use now is the exact same suit i used in uprising 1.2-1.7
the laser rifle is not underpowered. here are just some casual screen shots of after battle reports i had laying around on my phone (sorry for terrible quality) one is a stnd lr ona adv amar assault one is a proto lr assault
if lr is a support weapon and you cant get kills with it..then why does my assault pull top of the leader boards with it repeatedly generally as the highest killer http://imgur.com/SirorZe

these are really the only shots i have atm sadly, but i will making youtube videos and i will be spamming my lr assault for the next few weeks to prove this point.
i challenge the tactical rifle users of the other races take me on, take my squad on call us underpowered while you stare down my beam of death.

Right after 1.8 it doesn't gave any bonus to the Laser and Scrambler rifle... its delayed with your hp when your hp finalizes and fills all your skill bonus's apply for all suits..so yes..the laser rifle over heats at round 20 once skill applies...this actaully effects everything uplink times repper range all skills do not apply when u spawn..so when you see your hp at a reduced lvl just be aware it will over heat at 40..
also i find trueblood tanking your amar assault is the only way to go with lr

All plates? You got me curious. I've been messing around with the LR for quite a while now but every time I'm considering going proto on it something more urgent comes up. At any rate, I gave it quite a run during the commando event and that thing is a monster. I love it. I melted whole squads from distance, laughing like a maniac as I scored triple kills with the same beam. With time you start to figure out the perfect spots in each map to position yourself, that weapon is so much fun and definitely not up. You just need a steady aim and some range. um not all plates but i run 3 dmg mods 2 for my lr 1 for my side arm i run the lr of = lvl to the suit..all my suits start with 1 comp repper and then plates...and i run the k17 heal resupplys or alloteks accordingly
so my stnd aar assault has the stnd lr 2 dmg mods and 1 repper no plates
my adv has 2 dmg mods comp repper 1 plate..my proto 3 dmg mods 1 comp repper 2 plates..

I have gotten scores like that in a GALLENTE COMMANDO in pub matches. It doesnt make it viable in PC Morte. i consider pc to be a broken game mode not one to judge somethings viability on i go to fw and stomp and i 1v1 proto all the time my lr vs they're weapons...thats judge enough for me

I-Shayz-I wrote:I went 28/4 recently with it...you just need to know how to use it, and have the enemies to kill with it.
Do you usually get the kill at the end of the heat build-up? Like around 80ish for the amarr assault? Because compared to the amarr commando, the amarr assault seems to work 10x better because of the extended heat buildup due to the assault bonus.
Let me know if you would like another proto amarr assault. I can stop by pie ground control, or another chat channel if you'd like. yeah i am always in pie and i would simply love to stomp with other laser rifle users.
i do sometimes get kills in those last 20 kills but when i do they are generally death touchs..
i think my longest kill feed from 1 beam...that being
viziam ona proto amar assault with 2 cmp dmg mods..towards the viz and prof v...between rounds fired number 1 and 80 at max i have squeezed 9 kills in a majority of the nine as many as 5 were in between rounds...50-80 those last 30 rounds are ******* deadly..and if you catch a ground of people ina tight space its just so funny.
i think with people more spread out my average is around 5 with 2 kills being in the first 40 rounds and 3 in last 40..
its all situational of course..but like u said shayz the lr is not bad it just requires knowledge of how to use it and some skill with aiming..i feel like the lr requires more precise aiming than allot of the guns in dust
now really some suits dont need to preheat at all if your a scout and your at 70m im not gunna try and preheat my lr if your caldari of any kind cept the sentinel im not going to preheat my lr...i can generally kill a cal or minnnie suit easily with the first 10-15 rounds from the lr
also after drake from irc told me about the lr's cqc ive been trying death touching with commando in cqc...i have death touched people at 6 m since 1.8 its crazy

Thing is, I had built up a fair amount of heat/dps with the rifle at this point and the scout managed to put his head right in the beam. I pretty much insta-killed the scout before I even really registered he was there. His one shotgun blast wasn't enough to kill me lol! Love the laser rifle. i have had this exp as well ggbro

The only other weapon I really use is the LR on a fat Templar or assault Templar. mm i run repper injector 3 sec spawn on my amar logi...so its a i dont really need a gun but i have 2 type of deal ..
but thats ok because when i set the logi up with av it all works out
