Every-other rifle can't pop round a corner and lay off a charged shot.

It's not exactly pinpoint aiming with auto-aim.

See point two.

Thanks.

The thing is, i don't see why people are so against a ROF nerf to the ScR, unless your abusing the weapon it shouldn't really be making a difference.

An AR at 35m range has 450 DPS
A RR at 85m range has 391 DPS (this incidently is why the RR is so over powered)

Now to make it fair, the ScR should really be achieving about 420 DPS (I gave a little extra in retrospect of the damage profile),
bearing in mind I haven't dropped it for the charge shot or anything.

With this DPS the ROF would have to be dropped from the current 705 RPM (11 Shots per Second), to 305 RPM (6 Shots per Second) or does this not sound reasonable?

It's honestly not that hard... for me, even on the militia front line fit I can get 18 shots off no bonus just skill and experience.

the ROF would have to be dropped from the current 705 RPM (11 Shots per Second), to 305 RPM (6 Shots per Second) or does this not sound reasonable?

So it can't achieve more than 420 DPS, EVER (with the exception to the charge shot)
Though the GLU and Duvolle would be given the same treatment and be capped at 415 DPS which is achieved with 340 RPM (about 6 shots per second still), giving these weapons a fire rate faster than is required results in them being overpowered.

Which is exactly why it should be capped their, if you wish to propose a higher ROF, then it shouldmhave lower damage.
If you do not cap the weapons at the rate of fire I have suggested their DPS outclasses that of the Assault AR, which simply shouldn't happen.

And that is EXACTLY why the ScR is OP.

So your admitting the ScR is OP then.

So yes then it is, otherwise you would have denied it, would you not?
Either which way I decided to do some maths, because maths tells the true story.

As we have said early 7 shots a second is a reasonable ROF for the scrambler excluding turbos and FOTM followers, even as you said 6 shots a second can be done in your sleep.

Let's Start by looking at the stats on a scrabler rifle (The moderate range, moderate DPS weapon)
Now at 7 shots a second the DPS (excluding charge) is 539
According to most people the ScR overheats with 14 shots at profciency 0, this also included my own personal experience.
This gives 2 seconds BEFORE overheat and 5 second seize duration. (However firing 13 shots means you cooldown within 2 seconds)

Now let's look at the Assault Rifle (The short range high DPS weapon)
At the fully automatic ROF of 800 RPM (13 shots a second) the DPS equates to 453
With this ROF you get a 6 second magazine before reload is required.

So now let's stack the 2 together I will put the Assault on the left and the scrambler on the right.
DPS vs Shields: 498 vs 646
DPS vs Armour: 407 vs 431

DPS over 2 seconds 906 vs 1,078

DPS over 5 seconds (Assuming Seizure) 2,265 vs 1,078
DPS over 5 seconds (Assuming No Seizure) 2,265 vs 1,617

DPS over 10 seconds (Assuming Seizure) 3,171 vs 2,176
DPS over 10 seconds (Assuming No Seizure) 3,171 vs 3,234

As you can see the user of the scrambler rifle can choose to either Alpha damage them to death in less than 2 seconds, or they can outlast them in a marathon of combat that only the scrambler rifle can maintain. Futhermore this is beforemthe charge shot or ramges has been considered, the Scrambler Rifle will continue to uphold this DPS level well past 50m.

Wether you like it or not the scrambler rifle needs tweaking and conaidering it's possible to achieve an extra 4 shots a secomd at the moment it most DEFINITELY needs a more reasonable ROF cap.

If you wish to add in strafing apply an average 60% accuracy to both weapons
(Since you assume both weapons are being weilded by the same person)

Cover will not affect the RAW DPS (but it will the sustained DPS), since if you are in cover you can not engage the enemy either.
(If anything this is another boon to the Scrambler since you can cool down while not in cover)

Grenades will not effect the mathematics, since if your pair one weapon with a grenade you must pair the other also
(This means you can remove common factors from an equation - basic algebra)

Teamwork will not effect the mathematics, since if you pair one with tea woem you musr pair the other also
(As above, in order to this objectively, you cannot say "well what if he's being repped", since must then assums the other can also receive the same treatment)

Once again the only passive bonuses that would actually come into effect are the bonuses from the weapons operation skill, a d from the suit command skill since all other skills are equally available to each clone.
(In this case this the only ones that then don't effect the weapons equally is the Assault skills, this would give the following bonuses to the AR, -25% Dispersion -50% Kick and the following to the ScR, -25% Heatbuild up, +25% faster cooldown. I can provide the maths for this as well as you wish but I don't think it will help your point)

If you have a problem with any of my reasoning please feel free to message me, or send a voice chat invite where I can discuss it with you in detail.

Well then, i guess we need to get observing every player in dust and then we can officially determine if the scr is op.

Im sorry but most who say that its op are not exactly the best players are they?. In fact quite a few are straight up fresh newbs in comparison.

Look at them scurrying to protect their crutch. I wonder how you dudes will rage when we get it nerfed. It really needs to be looked at.

Actually none of them are particularly more difficult to use than any other.
They are hitscan
They are all AA enabled
They are HROF weapons (by comparison to other weapon types)
They all have 'comparable' accuracy

Skill varies too much between individuals to be a factor.
For example you say the Burst Combat Rifleis the easiest to use, so why can't I use them? Why am I terrible with them? Yet in the same stretch I can take the RR and I end up haemorrhageing WP.

Is it my lack of skill?
How can it be? I am using a more skillful weapon and doing better?

You see this is the problem with arguememts, people's opinions cloud their judgement.
Do you assume that just because I think the ScR is OP that am I scrub?
I think a lot of weapons are OP (BCR, RR, ScR, Projectile Damage profiles) does that somehow make me a superscrub?

Well now I have provided you with a reasonable excuse.
Your time would probably be better served by suggesting 'reasonable nerfs' that will stop being made into a flay lock Jr.
Such as my proposed ROF nerf to 305, which under the maths I have shown you little make little difference in its feel and operation, but it will no longer out DPS the assault rifle.
