i personally think the SCR(semi auto) is rather powerful

+10 shield -10 armor .Duvolle = 606 dps raw from attribs only. (666.6 dps vs shields. 546 dps vs armor)

+20 shield -20 armor. viziam = 841 dps raw from attribs only. (883 vs shields. 799dps vs armor if my math was correct)

now lets ass viziam to the currently buffed amarr assault(proto).. +17% dmg and 933 armor+complex rep

now lets add on a custom controller allowing R1 to activate meny times a second when held

now do you see how it can be considered op?

So amarr assault and modded controllers are OP then?

Yes. This is obviously the correct model around which to achieve balance.

The weapon should be nerfed to account for the perfect fusion of millions of SP invested in a single weapon to use on a single suit, coupled with a cheap hardware exploit, translated into unachievable paper DPS calculations.

Or prehaps the difference between maximum achievable DPS and average DPS should be reduced, like many other OP weapon s, the TACAR, the burst combat rifle, the ScR has the capacity for abuse, to be exploited, and pretty much any FOTM scrub will do it.

The TACAR wouldn't have been OP if you couldn't fire it as fast as an Assault Rifle
The Burst Combat Rifle wouldn't be OP if you couldn't fire at the same rate as the ACR
You want to stop people complaining about a weapon that with maybe -ú20 worth of a cheap hardware exploit can be given DPS only just shy of the HMG, cap it's fire rate so it can't be exploited!

Compared to other weapons, I'd say yes. You have to manage your heat build up in larger scale gunfights. You have to be pinpoint accurate when in ads If you overheat, you are fked, period. If you miss a charge shot, you waste about three quartets of your possible heat build up in one which leaves you about 3-4 ish shots left. Armour tankers really do take a beating unless you get consistent headshots. Most other weapons are very spray and pray, no overheat mechanic and you defo don't have to be as accurate at all. That's also not mentioning the very high fitting cost of an scr. A rolling nade is worth two in ambush.

People are witch hunting the scramblers right now because people WANT to shield tank. Alot of them don't understand or care the real reasons.

Yes. This is obviously the correct model around which to achieve balance. The weapon should be nerfed to account for the perfect fusion of millions of SP invested in a single weapon to use on a single suit, coupled with a cheap hardware exploit, translated into unachievable paper DPS calculations. Or prehaps the difference between maximum achievable DPS and average DPS should be reduced, like many other OP weapon s, the TACAR, the burst combat rifle, the ScR has the capacity for abuse, to be exploited, and pretty much any FOTM scrub will do it. The TACAR wouldn't have been OP if you couldn't fire it as fast as an Assault Rifle The Burst Combat Rifle wouldn't be OP if you couldn't fire at the same rate as the ACR You want to stop people complaining about a weapon that with maybe -ú20 worth of a cheap hardware exploit can be given DPS only just shy of the HMG, cap it's fire rate so it can't be exploited! Don't have a problem with that approach at all. No need to change much else, though. Let's be fair, the TAR did not have an overheat mechanic so you could fire the entire clip basically as fast as a Duvolle. Good I'm glad I'm getting somewhere, I'm not necessarily saying it's OP in the hands of your average joe. Personally I have no problem with it being a front loaded damage dealer either, but let's say you get I dunno something like 2x your expected DPS for your range, you should overheat 2x as fast as any other weapon runs out of ammo. It doesn't matter how you apply your damage over a timeline (within reason) so long as your sustained DPS doesn't provide a better DPS/Range ratio than anyone else. But because the Scrambler Rifle has so many difficult to calculate or seemingly nonexistent variables neither of us can actually show anything more than our own experiences. And maths we CAN do, only gives evidence that we should not allow the weapon to reach those kind of values, via modded controller exploitation or otherwise.
