Nope, i haven't been shot by an actual charged shot in about four days. It's always a volley from a CRW or construct imperial.

So, what's the deal with modded controllers and scrams? Seeing quite a lot lately.

[But If you compare the SCR to the TAC AR (it only true racial counterpart)...it gets obvious that the SCR is superior even though the damage profile may not be as appealing as the TAC ARs one.

I've actually been accused of cheating with the Scr, too me it was just too funny. Made me proud, someone thought my skills were too good for me not to be cheating.

Same, I told them I've simply been using it since it was released.

Nope you're just butthurt by being either insta glibbed or lazed down by the almighty ScR.

*pats Viziam* "I love you babe"

The ScR it's the least used out of RR, AR, CR and shotgun. And for good reason because the ScR had the best balancing mechanic with the heat buildup.

Players have always tried to claim the ScR is OP but the simple fact it is the least used light weapon disproves this claim. The CR is much more powerful than a ScR simply because it doesn't overheat, making it easier to use, and the CR has a better damage profile.

The ScR is a precision weapon, not a spray and pray weapon. This is why only skilled players with good aim use them.

And as far as rate of fire I know I can rapid fire a very fast burst with the ScR, but I can't sustain that rate of fire past 8 or 9 shoots.

Similar things can be said when thinking about the AScR vs AR.

The high RoF is the only thing able to allow it to keep up with the other rifles and even then it still has the god awful damage profile to overcome.

The ScR with a non-Amarr assault is a finely balanced weapon. It's powerful, with huge alpha damage - but you can't sustain that damage and you have to be careful with your shooting. A precision weapon that punishes you for missing.

Modded controllers are a thing with some people I'm sure - but as someone who doesn't use one, I've been accused of using one plenty of times. It's probably my most common mail. The thing is - with the ScR, it's pretty much you either kill the target very quickly or you don't kill them. The heat mechanic is a nice balancing tool. It kind of goes out the window with the Amarr assault (which is pretty much the most powerful combination I've used in this game) but the unbonused ScR is in a good place.

It's never going to be as popular as an automatic or burst weapon that doesn't have the heat mechanic simply from an ease of use perspective. People are more likely to dislike the ScR and not use it. Thus, low usage. It's not because it's bad - it's because it's different.

when people deal between 800-1200 damage in less than a second it makes you wonder...unless they are all
headshot masters who hit perfect charge shot headshots followed up by flawless headshots afterwards every single time....

I do like one-shot head-shotting starter fits with it though.

I remember back in 1.3 or 1.4 I was doing about something like 100 damage per shot(Stacks them damage mods).I can fire 10 shots or more in a second... I miss the good old days...

Pro tip: Vibrate your finger while slanting your hand a little to gain a good trigger finger. Since they nerfed the ScR, the charge shot isn't that useful. I usually overheat when I charge the head, and follow up. SInce I don't use M/KB, I can't shoot the head proficiently. CCP really needs to fix that. Play battlefield 2 3 or 4, and you will understand how terrible Dust's aiming system is.
