DUST Search - scrambler rifle too strong against armor

As an avid scrambler and combat rifle user I can tell you, without a doubt, the combat rifle is far superior to the scrambler. I say this for many reasons.

First the profile damage is much better then the scrambler making it far more versatile taking on any foe regardless of primary tank. Secondly, a combat rifle does not need damage mods to make it an effective killer vs it's weaker damage profile. Third, the scrambler has to be paired with a suit (amarr assault) to make it efficient enough to handle multiple target engagements and even then the user would need to monitor it's heat build up.

How many of you crying about the scrambler know that the standard cannot double tap right after a charged shot? The crw and viziam can without delay. How many of you know that because of the dispersion on the rail rifle it's easier to hit strafing targets at range because of your aim assist being turned on. The scrambler has always been pin point accurate making strafing targets much more difficult to finish at range.

Every weapon in this game, that is semi auto in nature, needs to have a rof that allows the player to pull the trigger as quickly as they can and have the weapon fire smoothly without delays. I am
not referring to bursts as this is another mechanic.

Also if you ask me about the tac ar, I feel it needs to be rebalanced. I feel the recoil needs to be toned down a bit and rof brought up a bit more to mimic the scramblers feel.

Have you even used the basic ScR? You can fire sraight after a charged shot so please don't talk crap. Aim assist still helps with the scrambler rifle when turned on so again, not true. ScR does not need to be used with an Amarr assault to be effective, just ask all the those caldari and gallente scouts that spam it like crazy. The only 2 ways that the CR rifle is better is it's damage profile and you can panic fire with it.

If you have played dust long enough you should know that damage stats are not always what they should be. It may say its -20 but who knows exactly, and he is right it also does to much damage at close range. Its supposed to be laser tech, low damage at close range. How can you justify a weapon that is good in every situation? With lvl 5 operation overheat is not a concern in fact its no different then having to pause in between bursts of automatic fire with a ar or cr to avoid muzzle rise.

Rail Rifle is automatic, with no overheat, longer range, better scope and lower fitting requirements. And the TAC AR does similar damage to armor at similar range. My traditional method of dealing with scrams is a mass driver and CR. I deal with the CR with rail rifles . Or I randomly spam people with a heady mix of HMGs, laser rifles and the occasional forge gun bodyshot at 250m. Then there is the plasma cannon "hello" with a unloading AR for dessert. Because you were an idiot standing still in the open. What about when a fully damped scout uncloaks and lights you up with it before u can react? It should be like the laser rifle in cqc, almost useless. Yet it excels in every category. I want a 200 round mag for my acr.

Seems like alot of you controller users forget you have a crutch called auto aim it negate an enemy strafing, that's why fps' s should be played with mouse and keyboard it shows true aiming skill.
