In response to A)

This is an issue with the logi bonus for amarr being another glue huffing symptom *BUT* Amarr logis have had a sidearm for a long time and this is in no way a good argument that "I should be unstoppable cuz mah buff" roll with a squad then.

in response to B)

That is a personal problem. Don't put uplinks in ****** places, I have no problems getting people to spawn on my uplinks but I don't put them in "******" places.

All of your whining is because you are bad and should feel bad, that is all.

You call it whining in a pathetic attempt to detract from its validity but I'm willing to bet that most if not ALL Amarr Logis will agree that the sidearm in exchange for a equip slot is fine

Since the Amarr Logis is losing its sidearm slot it is no longer feasible or even sane to run LR or ScR on my logi. So which is more OP CR or RR?

Then what is the purpose of this thread? As it was already pointed out you could never switch to a sidearm if you overheat anyways. This thread was a poor attempt to hide behind RP elements as to why you should keep a sidearm unlike all the other logis. This sort of thing is why this game has had balance issues from the get go because people like you claim "My amarr weapon is useless on my amarr" and I'm saying NO, No sir! I use your useless amarr weapon without a sidearm all the time, you're just whining.

Why would you not run as ScR?

The purpose of this thread is to find out the most OP light weapon so if CCP Rattatai doesnt see reason I will still be able to supply my bonused uplinks after my suit gets castrated.
P.S. I can smell the stench of your anti Amarr bias all the way over here so if you don't know which is the most OP weapon kindly see your way out of this discussion slave...

Starting the RP bullshit are we? I knew I had you pegged. If you want to know what weapon is good at what well look no further I use all of them.

As far as rifles go, Combat Rifle has good versatility but also has terrible damage/ammo efficiency so you will want to carry a nanohive as you will eat right through it, it also will get outclassed at range by pretty much everything but the assault rifle. The Rail Rifle climbs much more harshly and sprays when fired at the hip much like the scrambler rifle but it has great optimal range only bested by the laser rifle. But according to your criteria id say the Combat Rifle is your best bet since you don't want a ScR. Just know in long range engagements you will get wrecked by most the rifles and in close range engagements an assault rifle can mow you down.

The ScR is still king of Alpha damage and ammo efficiency but if you just absolutely have to throw your pity parade roll a CR. Instead of overheating or waiting to not overheat you will be reloading. The reloading aspect of the lower clips in rail and CR rifles is what makes the its a better 1vG weapon pretty moot. In 1vG it's all about how good the 1 is vs. how good the G is anyways. Honestly in my opinion the CR is worse for taking on multiple players by yourself because of its ammo consumption and reload times but eh, most people spec into a specific thing then claim to be experts in everything, what are you gonna do? For example the AR fell out of popularity because the CR and RR were too good when they first came out but the AR is still **** on because people just don't bother with it. It's real good at mowing down multiple targets at close range kind of like the rifle version of the HMG. It's lower RPM and higher clip size then the CR also makes it better in that respect at killing multiple targets. The CR is good for your "Smack my ***** up" montages against battle academy graduates but you're going to be reloading a lot fighting brick tanked opponents.

The scr is by far the best 1v1 weapon, but in 1vGroup or GroupvGroup, I would rather have any other rifle if I could only have one weapon. Since dust is mostly GroupvGroup, it really doesnt make sense to run a ScR on a no sidearm suit. The scr will stay on my assault, but I too will probably spec a CR to go with my new gallente logi. The amarr logi is getting put in the closet.

Lol you think Im an RPer...? Sorry to inform you, but once again you are dead wrong I merely pointed out your bias against the Amarr and proceeded to insult you in an amusing manner. It does seem like I struck a nerve though

Yeah it hurt me so much that I gave you advice. You were already confirmed as an RPer when you assumed amarr weapons and amarr suits would work the best together. Even a good dev team can't deliver something like that without the prohibition of cross classing. Just admit you created this thread to whine about losing a sidearm and had no intention of taking any of the good advice players have been giving you in this thread.

wrong again I have every intention of skilling into a different weapon(CR currently has the most votes atm) should the Amarr logi get castrated. Also I'd like to note that the eve dev team has yet to make an Amarr ship that cant use lasers...

>Implying I said you can't fit lasers on an Amarr ship or even that apparently your argument that the ScR is USELESS without a sidearm is apparently suddenly my argument.

Can't help you don't into reading comprehension. And that's cool if you want to backpedal just don't whine about something being useless that isn't and expect not to get rebuked. Next time if you want to whine about a weapon whine about the flaylock.

Lol have you ever seen an Amarrian firing line?

I'm talking about a real disciplined firing line of 6+ squadded members...... group vs group no one gets within 40m of us.

To the original post:

Run an Assault Rifle, it is still the king in true CQC if you're not a terrible player, even against the "Mythical" Assault CR. A Duvie AR is beast up-close and personal.

It works for my Amarr logi at least...

Amarr, I have so much Amarr, why do I have a Caldari Frame as my avatar again? OH THAT'S RIGHT I WAS NEVER GIVEN THE OPTION TO SWITCH FOR SOME REASON LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHEN BETA ENDED
