What I'm really getting at here is, do you know if Assault does more DPS than the Commando after a certain point of holding the laser charge?
It's already obvious to me that short bursts of fire will be more powerful on the Commando, and he can get in the enemy's face a little better. The Assault would have to stick to medium-long range and pop in and out of cover constantly.
Been having a lot of fun trying the LR out today. It's a really good weapon now.

But what are the numbers? All proto fits gives me is a decreased number for "heat buildup per second" but it doesn't say what the maximum heat value is before it overheats, and it DEFINITELY doesn't give you a damage multiplier for how long you hold the laser.
At least it gives you an increased DPS value for the Commando bonus, which is a number I can work with.

TA, can you do me a favor and comment on my thread in Bug Reports? It's about the LR.

Just read there's a known glitch that the Amarr Assault's bonus isn't applying.

Well, technically all of the Commandos trade shield regen, mobility, and passive scan abilities for increased damage, increased HP and low movement speeds.
So your Assault is more mobile.
Edit: Oh my god that video is disturbing.

That's pretty cool, but if you've tested it out and Commando is better, I definitely wouldn't even bother with Assault until the entire class is buffed.
My alt character is level 1 assault so I will see if it overheats at slightly greater than 60 rounds. Then again, this is a basic LR I'm talking about so it might not have the same clip size and such as you guys are using.

I-Shayz-I wrote:From my personal experience here's how it works
Commando
Pros
-More HP and recovery ability (overheating less of a problem)
-Secondary backup weapon (or another laser if you're crazy like that)
-Less time reloading, more time firing
Cons
-All the disadvantages of a heavy (slow, big hitbox, easy to detect on radar)
-Faster to overheat
-Damage potential is low
Assault
Pros
-Deathtouch ability in the last 20 rounds
-Higher agility and harder to hit by snipers/RR
-More versatility in fittings (but really you want to be using 3 complex damage mods)
Cons
-Lower HP makes you easy to kill if not careful...and makes overheating somewhat punishing
-Sidearm is almost required
No, they are saying they've tested it and Commando does more damage even when Assault gets the "deathtouch."
Edit: Keep in mind I'm only basic with no skill other than basic assault and laser, but I prefer having at least one shield extender to soak up overheat damage.

Assault can just "death touch" for a bit longer.
I get it now. I think Commando would definitely be better at a closer range because I've just been getting bad results in CQC with the laser.

Man, do all Assaults have this problem? I can't even fit a proto grenade or any equipment with all the necessary stuff on the fitting. And this is a very unrealistic scenario because all the fitting optimizations are set to 5.
Caldari scouts, probably Gallente Scouts, all the Logis, all the Heavies don't have problems throwing full proto on every single slot.

But you can switch to a scrambler and kill another person.
