It does -20% damage to armor.

So by that logic you are saying the scram is OP to everything?

actually at prof 5 its only -5% vs armor effectivly and at 808 dps on semi-auto SCR... yeah OP as all hell

Actually they changed the proficiency skill ages ago where it only boosts its damage against shields and not armor leaving it doing 140/80.

Aisha Ctarl should backhand you.

Damage mods can drop that number to about -7% towards armor with two complex ones. Considering the high alpha the ScR has, that's a major leap.

And the best part is that armor tankers don't have to sacrifice tank to get more damage. Talk about balance Big smile

an armor tanker built like that is not the greatist suit in the world. its slow and has no shield witch means there is many counters to the amarr assault. people are dieing lately to the scrambler rifle because of bad tactics and not understanding how to fight against the scrambler rifle. im sorry but dust is a thinking mans game and you can't just use the same suit and tactics every game like COD and expect it to work out for you. so instead of nerfing everything in this game that kills you lern to adapt to the changeing meta. only broken OP thing in the game are burst HMGS. and some guns and suits may need a little buff but stop nerfing everything because that screws everyones SP investment.

Because of the mechanic where the Heat buildup increase over TIME, not by SHOT. I just use it like my combat rifle. I don't use OP weapons, I AM OP.

How much shield do you usually have? I can usually 2 shot + 1 charged shot a basic Assault C-1 with my CRW-084 Scrambler Rifle. I don't use OP weapons, I AM OP.

I think the amarr scout should get a bonus. Sure scouts spam and all that, but think about the amarr scout's bonus. it's pretty crappy. I don't use OP weapons, I AM OP.
