So I used to only use AR, I had some other weapons at level 1, and things like shotgun around level 4. Then the sidearm event started and I got SMG to level 5 proficiency 1 because no gallente smg was out. And boy the assault varient smg was really awesome. So awesome I just got combat rifle to level 5 proficiency 1, and wow!
Assault combat rifle is like the old AR, it kills so fast! I was having an absolute miserable time trying to play the game with my AR, getting owned by people using advanced combat rifle while I was using creodron with one damage mod.
Now that I have my sixkin assault combat rifle, and the bk-46 assault combat rifle before it, the game is much more fun. I'm killing scrubs left and right instead of getting killed by them, and yeah sure I die because there are people who are better at the game than I am, but who cares? I can actually kill people again!
I say, don't nerf the combat rifle! |

I really was agonizing over specializing into another rifle because everything I had skilled into had basically been gallente. With AR proficiency 4 and level 3 in sharpshooter, rapid reload, and ammo capacity.
I will say that it feels like the AR needs a buff. But maybe the 4 main rifles just need some rebalancing as a whole. The AR being by 'default' an assault weapon has lower RPM than the CR. |

AR kills off shields and armor in equal amount, its a gallente ie in your face assault weapon, it works as intended, its just completely overshadowed by the CR.
CR atm is the only weapon that is out of place of all the main rifles with perhaps the laser rifle which is now incredibly deadly at its intended range but is completely balanced by its short range disadvantage, so yea sort the CR and all will be right in the world of main battle rifles.
I think the AR gets +10% vs shields and -10% vs armor so it doesnt 'kill shield and armor in equal ammount' plus the fact that its easier for suits to increase their armor than it is for them to increase their shields means once you take their shields down, which I admit is really quickly, you have a hard time taking down their armor.

Idealy I'd like to see a buff to ROF and clip size for the AR. I'm fine with it being the shortest range rifle, but really there should be some level of balance between max effective range and DPS, right now the highest DPS rifles also have longer ranges. Or re-tweaking its damage type to +10% vs shield and only -5% vs armor. |

I would agree with that. The old Tac AR is basically the current CR, with such a low delay its highly abusable. |
