Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 14066	Posted - 2014.06.05 07:45:00 - [1] - Quote I'm not really a fan of the burst rifle existing. It directly competes with the combat rifle, so it's always going to be a pest to balance. The breach doesn't really serve that much of a purpose, I agree - as much as I love the thing it's absolutely awful and doesn't really fill a real role anyway. I would argue, however, that the TAR -can- have a role. Although in its current state the SCR is better than it in pretty much every possible way, and that includes the overheat/volley potential, I feel the TAR could have a role as an ease-of-use semi-automatic. The SCR gets a similar number of shots before overheat that the TAR does in a clip even if you're being a complete idiot and spamming all your shots off immediately, so at the moment the TAR doesn't really fill that role. However, the overheat isn't a mechanic that everyone likes, so of all the variants I feel that the TAR could be the most differentiated from the other 'tactical' rifle. It's in a decrepit state though since the old nerfhammer. Although that was absolutely needed, I think it went a little too far. The TAR could definitely be viable and fill a bit of a different role to the SCR with some stats tweaking. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

The breach is the lowest DPS automatic in the game, by a very long way. The burst AR is worse than the combat rifle in pretty much every aspect. The TAR is also worse than the SCR in pretty much every aspect - as Aeon notes. Do remember that they're semi-automatics and the SCR has a -really- high RoF so without a modded controller you're not going to actually apply those DPS numbers. Quote: 2) dps per PG/CPU invested CR most efficient. AR/RR probably are roughly tied. SCR is probably generally worse, especially for the ASCR. Isn't that immediately obvious? Also, when is a thread for this likely to turn up? This is a topic I'm very interested in. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I prefer doing that systematically with data. Timing, Bravo, Charlie, not sure yet, we need to prioritize our focal points, Sidearms anyone? Yep, sidearms could do with looking at. Here are some thoughts (random thought spew, I'm not really sure what you're interested in): I'd just like to suggest that when dealing with semiautomatic sidearms like the ScP and IoP, the RoF should be past a certain minimum threshold so it's comfortable to use. It's possible to oversample really easily on the ScP, which is kind of horrible for the weapon feeling. The IoP is generally awful. Here's a link to something in more detail (although it was written pre-ScP nerf): https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1770767#post1770767 The bolt pistol isn't something I've used that much. I don't think it's that great a weapon, although Moody seems quite enamoured with it and it's just had a bugfix that really helps it, so I can't really comment on that one. SMG is pretty much the de facto king of sidearms atm. MSMG is pretty useful but the recoil is insane. Flaylock has been awful since the nerfhammer struck it long ago. It was needed at the time but I think it went too far. Also, might I ask if shields are on the agenda soonish? You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.
