Sir Dukey SAM-MIK General Tso's Alliance 896	Posted - 2014.05.22 10:58:00 - [1] - Quote Is it because it is only good on an Amarr Assault? Is it also because 80% of the Dust player base tanks more armor than shield even on caldari and minmitar suits? Is it because the overhear is more noticeable because damage reduction makes it so you have to take more shots? Is it because it does only 80% damage to armor? Is it because it get's you killed now unlike 1.7? How do do you improve this weapon? suggestions: -110% damage to shield 90% to armor -change proficiency so it gives bonus damage to not other tank type (3% damage to armor per level in SCR proficiency)

Level 5 in the ScR and the Amarr Assault makes a great combo that is really fun. The other issue is the Amarr assault just seems a little bit broken, but Im not sure in what way.

Luna McDuffing COALICION LATINA 9	Posted - 2014.05.22 11:09:00 - [3] - Quote Using the scrambler rifle takes trigger discipline which most people don't have. Also, is an empire weapon. When you buy a scrambler you are supporting the empire. That kind of behavior is frown upon on this side of the galaxy.

Atiim Heaven's Lost Property 8773	Posted - 2014.05.22 11:16:00 - [5] - Quote Scrambler Rifles are the least used because they are ineffective against Armor, which seems to be the meta at the moment. Fixing the Shield/Armor imbalance will cause them to be seen more on the field, as there will be more shielded targets to destroy. HvLP Spreadsheet Warrior Why Do Slayers Get All The Credit? :( -HAND

All amarr suits are broken. They are suppose to be the highest HP in Armor but all gallante suits armor tank much much better than Amarr. The Assault is missing slots, since now Amarr suits are more focused toward armor its time to give the assault 2H/5L and amarr heavy with 1H/4L

No to the proficiency change because that will make it +10% / +15%, effectively removing the "sacrifice" in running one (which is what makes the Combat Rifle as broken as it is).

It's either or so 120% shield, 95% armor, This should only happen to specialized weapons only. Specialized weapons like mass drivers, flay lock. Currently the SCR for me at PRO 4 does 138% damage to shields which is absolutely pointless considering the fact that almost all suits have over 300 armor.

Atiim Heaven's Lost Property 8773	Posted - 2014.05.22 11:29:00 - [10] - Quote So basically a +20% / -5% profile? Not only is that worse than the Combat Rifle (currently at -5% /+10%), it wouldn't be a specialized weapon in the first place. My Caldari and Minmatar suits don't have 300HP of armor. You know, the ones that the Scrambler Rifles are supposed to kill? HvLP Spreadsheet Warrior Why Do Slayers Get All The Credit? :( -HAND

Cardio Therapy Tech Guard RISE of LEGION 35	Posted - 2014.05.22 11:33:00 - [11] - Quote basic ScR with prof 4 used on base gal logi kills more than AR prof 4. I am Ok with it but it needs more training to learn to control the heat. Take CR and you will do almost the same but no heat build. the cr rof is so high that the 3 shots almost always hit together as one. otherwise it is an excelent weapon. maybe shoud change the prof to be 2% vs shields and armour. But then the risk is to see half of the players using it :)
KingBabar MAG was better... 2531	Posted - 2014.05.22 11:34:00 - [12] - Quote I actually pulled out that old friend on my Cal scout yesterday and I had a blast, literally. Top tip: When you're not in an Amarr Assault suit, just never ever charge shot, it only leads to trouble. So after I stopped charging my shots I started to rack up decent amounts of kills, 33-1 was my best. This is more a testimony to the insane low quality of the average Dust playerbase. I mean, come on, its always been bad but now? These days With most of the good players leaving its like playing an Electronic Wack-a-mole. Deaths are reserved for accidental encounters With EZ-mode fat bastards With their Death rays or the *****-mode slim bastards With their Galente scout shotty combos, well and the occational "Death by blob". So Yeah, the gun is still very good, but that can be said for any gun these days, this game is dying it seems. FU and FU Dust community, you're mostly a bunch of moronic carebear crybabies. Get good.

You know, the ones that the Scrambler Rifles are supposed to kill? They don't??? Well I can only talk for the Caldari Assault and Logi, and its very easy to put 335 armor on the Assault (2 basic plates) and 450+ armor on the Cal logi is no problem at all... So its a trade off like most Things in this game. I wouldn't dare to grab a Scr for a PC game though... FU and FU Dust community, you're mostly a bunch of moronic carebear crybabies. Get good.

RR is -10%/+25% thats a 35% difference, the SCR will only get 25% difference. I don't know how to explain but you get whatimsayin?

I use scrambler all of the time. out of rifles. Title says 'in the game'. Also, the SCR is the least used because it requires a modicum of trigger discipline and unlike the other rifles punishes you for being bad. This leads to bads either not using it or whining incessantly about how terrible it is, even if it's actually a very good weapon. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Izlare Lenix Arrogance. Dark Taboo 585	Posted - 2014.05.22 15:04:00 - [18] - Quote I still love the CRW. I use it 90% of the time and often get 25-30 kills with few deaths running my cal scout. It melts most scouts and some medium frames. I still have issues with brick tanked logis and heavies. The thing with the ScR is EVRY shoot counts, if you suck at aiming you will double suck with the ScR. It is a precision weapon, not a spray and pray weapon. And the charge shot is very nice if you use it properly. I never use it when the target is 40m or closer. The overheat gets you killed too often so you need to learn discipline with the ScR especially the charge shot. Lastly you need to be really good at switching back and forth between the ScR and your sidearm. Otherwise you will overheat all the time resulting in aggravating deaths. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.
2Berries Ghosts of Dawn General Tso's Alliance 146	Posted - 2014.05.22 15:21:00 - [19] - Quote There is nothing wrong with the SCR. It is a beautiful weapon and is insanely effective in the right hands. I run it on my cal scout & seem to have more success with it thqn the rail rifle. King nailed it with the trigger control comment, but missed with the suggestion to never charge your shots. If you can dip in & out of sight, those charged shots can cause panic. The SCR is the reason everyone armor tanks. I am the cool. Shamma lamma mu mu

CRNWLLC Screwy Rabbit ULC 293	Posted - 2014.05.22 16:20:00 - [21] - Quote I've been running a Cal Assault BPO with a 'Templar' ScR and have been doing better than I expected. A few things I've noticed: The scope zooms sufficiently to target anything up to 80m, which is roughly its maximum range and which is only outdone by the RR. However unlike the RR, it doesn't require charging before shooting. Also, the scope benefits from AA, which makes hitting far-away targets a little more practical. Optional high-DPS or alpha (charged). It's pretty easy to pull R1 8 - 10 times a second, so 500 - 600 RPM is attainable. Coupled with the highest per-round damage/tier and the fact that even with a 20% penalty to armor, a standard ScR still does 52 damage/shot, the thing's a beast. Don't forget the 350% bonus to headshots, which makes charged rounds to the face almost guaranteed insta-kills for anything smaller than a heavy. Swapping to an SMG once shields are down (assuming you're close enough) or reloading frequently are both very effective ways to mitigate heat buildup. ScRs only take 2.5s to reload sans skills, and have large clips. Also, if you're using charged shots, your ammo lasts a lot longer. I dunno, I've been enjoying it. Definitely helps my gun game more than the AR.

The OP award goes to the CR/ASCR and cloaked shotguns. These weapons are closely followed by the hmg. Watching the kill feed is very repetitive these days. The CR, hmg and shotgun are most common and of course tanks. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

CrotchGrab 360 Commando Perkone Caldari State 1499	Posted - 2014.05.22 17:47:00 - [28] - Quote because everybody armour tanks there's no point. when you're a playing an amarr heavy with 700hp and a CRW or CRD and a scout with as much HP as you is dancing around you with the combat rifle you know it's time to give up. I completely abandoned my character because people INSIST on breaking this game by spamming ******* combat rifles and scouts........ nobody uses a weapon which does damage to shields because nobody is using shields.

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Final Resolution. 1889	Posted - 2014.05.22 18:02:00 - [30] - Quote Is this thread suggesting that the Scrambler Rifle is used less than a Breach/Tactical Plasma Rifle, Plasma Cannon, Laser Rifle, Ion Pistol, or Nova Knife? I see a lot more Scrambler Rifles than the above. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"
