So, the scrambler rifle is one of the very few skill based weapons in Dust514? Bad metaphor. A sane staff must watch over an asylum's residents at all times. :P

No, the metaphor is perfect.

It may take more "skill" to use than most rifles, but all of the rifles are so pathetically easy to use that it means nothing; in the same sense that you can be the sanest person in an Asylum, but it means nothing because you're still insane.

Though I fail to see how spamming R1 as fast as you can while watching a red bar on the screen requires "skill".

I think your still ignoring the staff in the asylum. You can't have the blind lead the blind. Perhaps you should have gone with "which is like being the sanest patient in an asylum."

Excluding the laser rifle, managing a heat gauge that other rifles don't have doesn't require more skill?

Tried the scrambler rifle without the Amarr assault suit last night. The gun tends to overheat before or after killing someone. To avoid being punished, you have to pull the trigger at a rate much slower than I am accustom to; greatly increasing TTK. I respect any of you who can make the scrambler rifle work without the Amarr assault suit. The scrambler rifle without the Amarr suit bonus is definitely not OP. Still deciding if scrambler rifle + Amarr assault suit bonus is OP.

I only play dust514ums now. It was always more fun than the actual game anyways.

Still deciding if scrambler rifle + Amarr assault suit bonus is OP. I use the ScR on an amarr logi, and you are correct. The gun is great for 1v1, but then you have to run away or hide until the heat goes down. People just say, oh well I died, so its OP. If they dont die, they just reload and kill another, and another, and another. Not possible on a ScR without amarr assault. Call the amarr assault OP all you want (but isnt that what assaults suits are intended to do?) but the ScR itself is definitely not OP. The CR and RR are better weapons, both in optimal and outside of it. The CR regularly kills in ScR optimal. And the RR is just as good in CQC while having a much longer range. If you are like me, and use a ScR without an assault, you're either stupid, or like hard mode. I only play dust514ums now. It was always more fun than the actual game anyways.

You compared it with an Obviously UP rifle and it still only beat it out in the first two seconds and the last 11? Lol what fights even last that long. You forget to mention when talking about how its not a skill weapon that missing a single shot is roughly the equivalent of losing 1/10 to 1/20 of its dps.. in just a single shot. Come on, you and I both know, that without a modded pad, this is the most balanced rifle in the game I only play dust514ums now. It was always more fun than the actual game anyways.
