..... its like almosts 20% more damage. before you could get 12% with 3 complex modes. now you get 12% for heavy, 17% for light, and 19.5% for sidearm damage mods with three. also take into account that most assaults in charlie are getting more slots. its going to make them almost a match for the heavy toe to toe. at least with certain weapons.

I said >like< not on the dot. its getting much closer then it was.

Why did you use a Assault rifle for an example?

Where did you get a 1000DPs it has a DPS of around 720 unless there are hidden stats.
Secondly as an example.

Scrambler rifle with damage mods. 894.7029DPS

That was the damage for a STD scrambler rifle. NOt the proto.

1001 This is the proto Scrambler rifle base.
1202 vs shields. (1353)
800 vs armor.

This is what I mean. Now the proto HMG.
887.04 base with three damage mods on.
842.688 vs shields.
975.744 vs armor. (1108.8)

Now the difference is the scrambler will murder shields. Then nail your armor for decent damage with the new mods from a longer range then the HMG most likely can handle. also take into account the Heavy has crap for slots compared to most other dropsuits. Its more likely to have 1 or 2 damage mods. This tends to hurt its max hp on most dropsuits. where the new upcoming assaults are going to stack hp to about a grand and have three damage mods on. well some of the suits.

You completely missed what I said. I want to know why you used the most UP rifle on a suit that doesn't even benefit from having it equipped. A better choice would of been a Cr because of its dmg profiles and rof

Uhhh no its the plain proto scrambler. Its first shot tends to be misleading as it is much stronger then the numbers taken into acount for the DPS. forgot to do that. also don't complain about a gun because your trigger finger sucks. I can usually get the full Dps out of it no problem. I mean its not that big an issue to get it to fire at full speed and hit.

That is true but the upcoming hotmess... I mean hotfix is going to mess that up slightly. making heat build up on the HMG much higher then it was the proto being above the current STD for heat build up after the hotfix. I do concede to the fact currently it will take down multiple people if used correctly.

I personally don't think the HMG deserved that. Also changed the numbers to reflect the charged shot so thats the first seconds DPs it drops down to what I had for after that unless you play peekaboo with people. then you can keep doing the now listed DPS. also the over heat you are talking about only happens if your not using the Amarr assault suit. you can get out enough rounds to kill really easily with around probably 3-4 levels in Amarr assault.

Uhhh no old damage mod bonus was 12% that stays for the heavy. 17% is the new one for the light weapons. 19.5% is the new damage mod for the sidearms. so its more then 2%. all of these with three mods.

Oh well ya but thats 2% per mod. It adds up when you can jam more then one on and it changes the scaling of the stacking pen.
