I suppose my big issue is that large blaster turrets functioning more akin to gigantic plasma cannons... for some reason it just doesn't jive with me.
TBH, it really just comes down to a preference issue; maybe it's like how I think that, despite the fact I feel like it's somewhat broken, Ganjas should keep their damping bonus... but OTOH, I also feel like Canjas should lose their damping/scan range bonuses in favor of a precision bonus*. On the Ganja part, it's mostly because the traditional Gallente Scout bonus is that it's the damping scout, and taking that away is kind of like taking away the sidearm slot of the Amarr Logi. People WILL freak out and complain, and I'm not entirely sure it would be unjustified to complain about taking away the Ganja damp bonus.
*Of course, I also think no scout should have more than one EWAR bonus, and that the Amarr should be the biotic scout with an efficacy bonus to biotic modules (NOT just stamina, but also kincats and maybe myofibs), the Minja is the speedhacker/stabby-stab scout, and the Caldari scout is the precision scout. Canja being max precision with Ganja being max damp creates an interesting interplay...
Though I also think that EWAR bonuses should be to module efficacy, and the EWAR skills should also be module efficacy, and that a 4 damp Ganja should only avoid a 4 precision Canja by using a proto cloak (because both are already sacrificing, and a Canja by default would lose the scan range bonus and has only two lows at ADV/PRO so is difficult to get long passive scan range anyways). |

EWAR is a ball of crap I dont want to touch.
You can't wash out the smell.
It doesn't need tweaks. It needs to be taken out back and put down like Old Yeller.
EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

Ive been saying almost the same about the HMG for ages, it makes no sense designing the HMG as a CQC weapon.
It sometimes feels almost nightmarish to be in that role the heavy is now, only able to engage infantry(scrubs) at very close range.
Also i think heavies should have the best passive scans. What, armor too thick for the dropsuits sensors?

Sentinel CQC being the meta in PC was inevitable. All it needed was the correct maps.

I'm not going to dispute that EWAR is a terrible terrible thing right now. I do think, however, that it's pretty much the best we'll get in DUST, so we pretty much have to figure out a way around it.
Which sucks, because it seems like we've had a lot more problems with EWAR being brokenly good for scouts than anything else- active scanners were pretty bad and all, but you knew when you were scanned, most people ran the ADV Quantum scanner (because they wanted long paint times but were too cheap for proto scanners), and it was possible to actually get under it if you fitted for it.
Quite frankly, I almost wonder if we set it up so that the EWAR core skills were module efficacy bonuses, the EWAR scout skills were module efficacy bonuses, we wouldn't fix a lot of issues. OTOH, I also feel like it's the scan range bonus that is the most broken one, and should probably be dropped wholesale.
