Spademan Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 3709	Posted - 2014.09.25 19:21:00 - [1] - Quote Alright, let me start off saying that the changes made for the Ion pistol were pretty good. Increased RoF, charge time, reduced seize time and dispersion are great. Saying that, I still think more tweaks are needed. It's just not there, it can't hold up against the other pistols. So what can we do? Well I think it needs increased damage, say 65 to 70? This would bring the theoretical dps up to 487-525 It sounds like a lot, but it's a very, very short ranged weapon. I think increasing the charge multiplier would help, but I don't know the multiplier so I can't do any theory crafting. Thoughts? I am part shovel, part man, full scout, and a little bit special.

BL4CKST4R La Muerte Eterna Dark Taboo 3125	Posted - 2014.09.25 20:48:00 - [2] - Quote IIRC there is no multiplier just a standard 350 damage charged. I would like the seize time gone and follow up from there. supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Spademan Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 3711	Posted - 2014.09.25 21:58:00 - [3] - Quote Well that's definitely a number worth tweaking. How does 450 sound? I am part shovel, part man, full scout, and a little bit special. Official Time Lord of the Scout Community
hfderrtgvcd 539	Posted - 2014.09.25 22:46:00 - [4] - Quote I feel like the weapon itself is great but the ridiculous dispersion makes it inferior to the other sidearms. Maybe this is fixed by sharpshooter? You can't fight in here! This is the war room.

Its an OK gun but any other is better, when it comes to side arms shield ones aren't very effective specially if it doesnt have high ALPHA, the Ion Pistol relies on high DPS which makes it weak as a finisher. supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I think it needs a slight DPS buff, a change to the charge multiplier and no seize time to it functions like a handheld scrambler rifle. At that point breaching armor will not be a problem but will also be held back by its pathetic low range. Dispersion was made much better (or less) in Delta, you should be feeling the difference?

Dispersion was made much better (or less) in Delta, you should be feeling the difference? does the tier of the weapon effect the dispersion? I was using a militia ion pistol today and the dispersion was just like before.I could be completely on target but only a fraction of my hits would land. You can't fight in here!

You Are Inferior Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 2	Posted - 2014.09.26 02:26:00 - [11] - Quote It is the weapon I use most of the time I think the dmg is fine it just need a larger clip. High rate of fire but bad acc so we need more shots also remember we don't have any variants. Scout ion/ion Assault AR/ion if you guys give it good deeps I won't feel like super man on ion pistol kills. It didn't taste like abortion.?.?.
Mobius Kaethis Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1850	Posted - 2014.09.26 04:11:00 - [12] - Quote I've been doing well with it actually though I really need more time with it to make a firm call one way or another. I suspect it could still use a small damage buff but only in the realm of 5% and only because of its stupidly short range. As I said in when the patch notes were released, I really think the pistol's range vs damage curve needs to be more dramatic. Now with more evil.

Kevall Longstride DUST University Ivy League 1704	Posted - 2014.09.26 07:44:00 - [14] - Quote Pretty pleased with the ion pistol changes actually. The dispersion reduction in gal assaults really helps it's accuracy too. CPM 1 member CEO of DUST University Vist dustcpm.com

I have been doing decently with the weapon all night but a 5 point damage buff will make it much more usable. We'll see how it pans out once that change hits (tomorrow perhaps). Now with more evil.

Perhaps as a result of all the buffing to plasma hybrid weapons? Now with more evil.

I mean when compared with an ion pistol with sharpshooter 5 and without, I can definitely feel the buff that you guys did :) Also I would like to clarify that I wrote no seize time what I actually meant was no instant seize supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Fristname Family name The Enclave Syndicate Dark Taboo 85	Posted - 2014.09.26 10:29:00 - [20] - Quote I reckon make 2 charge shots possible before overheat and make the charenshot damage 400 and at each 1/5 or so of he charge up bar it deals like 50 ( random number )damage more than original shot until it reachs full charge wich would be x damage ( does it already work like that? ) also the ion rifle could be a heavy weapon :) perfect idea of a ion fashion range who ever sugested the ion light guns. Maybe it could be more ranged or just a bolt rifle for heavys ( even better could be a semi auto big sniper/assualt rifle kinda weapon which im imagining to be hardcore lookin and me just melting reds with my trigger finger from 40m away ) well one more thing can we get a suit painter or gun painter, rainbow shooting plc along with a bunch of midnight maps for october and JUMPING HEIGHT AND MOVEMENT SPEED modules thats right. Lol i also do a lil ramble XD Australian mercy worky.
