6000 rpm lol how long is that gonna stay? Has it always had that rpm? I never noticed, usually just use boundless o.o
If Preparation is half of the battle and knowing is the other half, Then there is no need to fight.

CCP buffed the RPM only to have a faster heat build-up time. I've experienced the RPM before the patch. Those were godly. Dear Lord of what they would look like now... |

Takes the same amount of bursts to overheat, but DPS was doubled.
Seems legit.

Put this way, as long as that dot is on your target, one press of the button is a dead player.

Damage per burst was reduced making overheat more likely. |

Interesting, can you tell that to the proto heavy I downed with two bursts?

Your evidence is strong however I must point out that damage per round has been decreased about 15% @ pro) yet the number of rounds per burst (45) has not changed. |

Alright, look at it this way.
It does more damage per burst than a shotgun blast.
It has far more range.
Can fire again way faster.
And it can have around 6-7 bursts before overheat, compared to the shotgun clip of 8.
It's just an upgraded shotgun.

I jumped on my heavy the other night, prof.5 six kin with damage mods. The weird thing is no one dies, they just disappear.
Once again more proof there is no testing performed by CCP, just some guy sat on notepad guessing.
Give me my scrambler pistol back....**

'More damage per burst' - 623.7 damage in a burst HMG burst, 504 in a shotgun blast. So yes, there is a little more damage in an HMG burst.
'Far more range' - this is the real differentiator, but it has to be like this. Heavies lack the speed, dampening, and cloak to get to point blank range, so their weapon has to be effective beyond that.
'Can fire again way faster' - actually its pretty much identical. Shotgun fires 1.42 times per second. The burst HMG takes 0.45 secs to complete its burst, then has a 0.225 burst interval, so it fires 1.48 times per second.
'around 6-7 bursts before overheat' - doubt you can manage 7, but even if you could, the shotgun can shoot 8 times before reload. Also, an HMG overheat takes much longer to finish than a shotgun reload and prevents you from switching to a sidearm or running. So basically you're screwed when your HMG overheats, but the shotgunner still has options when their main weapon is empty.
Overall I agree the burst HMG is better, as it should be. Heavy suit=a bit crap and heavy weapon=beast is the magic formula for making heavies actually use heavy weapons. |

6 bursts, the 7th will overheat. It does not mathematically do more damage than it used to, but practically it does as the rpm increase allows more of the burst to hit the target faster allow me to explain.

It has alway's been OP in the right hands. This so called "buff" is an illusion. It always took out light frames with 1 burst, which 50% of the community runs and 2 bursts for a med frame. The boundless will still counter it in CQC. heavy 1v1 depends on who knows that straffing is the key. |

Don't think that 1500~ eHP, and being one kin cat away from Assault speed, and laughing off explosives, can be considered bad.
They have their pros and cons, I don't think heavy weapons should be nearly as insane as they are now.

Except bursts are now much shorter, meaning that more of the burst hits the target.
Similar situation with the combat rifle and burst AR.
It's a straight up buff IMHO.

Note: I'm not asking for a nerf.
I am of the opinion that as of right now, the meta didn't get a chance to cement itself.
I would like to see how things play out before any changes are made.
That includes the SCR, Nova Knives, Amarr Assault, and anything else people are whining about.

I have used it everyday and to be honest I feel the overheat outweighs the buff in burst intervals. Just my 2cents |
