Quote:Ion Pistol Damage to 55-57.75-60.64 (STD/ADV/PRO)
Currently the damage is at 50-50-50 and the tiers scale clip size (due to clip size for a weapon that for all intents and purposes has infinite ammo due to how powerful the shots are, currently the best IoP is the basic one because it has no downsides over the proto and saves tonnes of fitting)
Now, the IoP's currently are ideal for scouts because you just duck around a corner, pop someone in the head and instagib them, then back around the corner to charge the next shot, the weapon almost entirely removes extended engagements, this puts you are a huge advantage vs weapons like ACR/AR, etc
The one thing you currently cant instagib are heavies (and bricktanks, sure), but you are still minimizing contact time with a HMG heavy and still removing some pretty substantial chunks of health from them with little risk for you
Adding 20% damage to this in your tweak I fear is just going to turn a "substantial chunk" of damage per shot into "half the heavies health" every single shot
You already don't need to use nanohives or even have to reload during fights with this weapon, I fear that giving it a damage buff of this size is just going to push it into some pretty insane place.
Now, the weapon does need tweaking to have damage scaling with tiers, otherwise there is no point in ever using adv or proto versions of the pistol
I suggest changing the ion pistol damage to 47.5-50-52.5, a small nerf to the std version, the adv doesnt change and the proto gets a 5% damage boost over what it currently has.
P.S. Please remove the shaking while charging, its so annoying >:I

Welp, it seemed that my client was in need of a reinstall, because now the ion pistols do indeed scale with tiers :I
that would make the delta tweak a ~7% damage buff at proto, which isnt overly large, much better than the +20% i thought it was getting

Cheers,
Cross
A 7% buff isn't nearly as ridiculous as the 20% one i originally thought it was getting, so disregard the OP and i'll make my mind up if 7% is too good post-tweak
