The recoil maybe? you can pop constant headhsots spamming an scr, but with a tac ar you have to wait for the recoil or spray low... Not to mention with the scr you can just stop 1 shot short and then pew pew a load more to finish while the other guy reloads (if you've somehow failed to kill them at that point, lol.)
This is without ignoring your average, while most people that use the scr can get more out of it than 18.

135% efficacy on shields lol. Not even talking about damage mods yet. If only there was a weapon like this against armor, then they would understand the shield tanker's QQ regarding Scramblers.

lol its called the Combat rifle. sure, it isnt a hard-hitter, but its a fast one. it kills us pretty quick.

Rail Rifle is automatic, with no overheat, longer range, better scope and lower fitting requirements.

This. Rr = op low skill boring weapon. Stop moaning

anyone that dies to a scrambler rifle more than the other rifles is a noob point blank who can't strafe or has bad aim or does not know how to build a suit right. i call bull on all this scrambler is OP crying because i run a caldari assault suit every day and people with scrambler rifles rarely give me a problem and if you are in a armor suit and scrambler rifles are killing you than you need to uninstall dust cause there ain't no help for you.

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.

627 on my proto fit but its not about the HP when fighting a scrambler rifle user as its about dodgeing the shots and strafeing till the other guy overheats which a caldari suit is good at unless your a noob and and stack armor plates then you can't strafe as fast.

Also if you panic and fire just one too many rounds. 5s cool down with no way to negate or shorten it. also we take 50 damage. does your AR, RR, or CR do that? I think not. Risk and reward my friend. we risk taking damage and becoming a lead duck. it locks everything but walking when that rifle locks up. Also if they spam it super fast to the point of insanity. It might be a cheating turbo *****. so don't hate on us real users of the scrambler rifle over little ***** cheaters.

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.

Its not a hybrid weapon.

People like you, who complain their heads off, are getting the ScR nerfed. The ScR has not not been changed since 1.7 and just now are people complaining? Here is a hint, it's not the weapon, it's buffed damage mods and the assault Ak.0

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.

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

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.

i've thought that it was too strong when it first came out, the damage mods arent the problem. The fact its base damage against armour is the same as the rail rifle is a problem seeing as it is supposed to be weak against it. Damage mods make the problem worse.

Imagine a 1 vs 1 against yourself: one with an Amarr Assault and Scrabler Rifle, the other with a Gallente Assault and Duvolle. The you with a Gallente would win in any engagement at <40 mts, the scrambler would win between 40 and 70.

Scramblers only melts shields, but is really frustrating trying to defeat a well armor tanked suit. If they want to nerf damage, it would be ok if they tweak damage profile too.

It is possible to reach over than 600, but what's the cost? Overheating or stop shooting: in other words, it's good against one opponent at time, and only when your opponent is at a reasonable range; Any rail rifle still do much better.

Th ScR is too OP versus armor, it need to do less. The gun eat through shield, which is fine. When armor it shouldn't be able to 2 shot.

My RR is made to take out amor and does 1/2 what a ScR can do against it, bullshit
