yaaaay...
But I'm still losing 10hp/s and 1m/s because of your "Assaults should damp" thing.
So guess I'm losing 7.5hp/s now lol

BAR nerf is on the table, yes.

No one is forcing you to fit dampeners.

Are you serious? Because I would like Assaults to have the "ability" to avoid scans by reducing sig profile and fit a single damp?

Just an idea to help assaults, perhaps make a equipment variant that is put on the wrist of a players hand like a cloak but does not reduce visual visibility, instead it only reduces scan profile (temporary buff) and scan radius(penalty) by a large amount for a short duration which can help assaults to get into flanking positions. To go along with this assault suits could get a role fitting bonus to CPU and PG cost per level of SP invested in an assault suit for this equipment like the scout cloak bonus.

ok why don't you drop the creodron ion pistol to adv and use another shield extender. the caldari are long distance fighters and the gal are mid range. I mean just look at the bonuses to see the proof. caldari faster reload while gal get a reduction to kick and spread of their shot for better hipfire for mid to close range. the bigger question why the Heck are you using dampners on ASSAULTS? lol that is about as useful as nova knives on a commando. (no offense to those who do that) LOL
50 meters it will take the gall 21-22 shots to kill the caldari with a rof of 800 so in 2 seconds for 26.67 shots.
50 meters it will take 13-14 shots to kill the gall with a rof of 462 so in 2 second for 15.36 shots.
that looks very close TTK.
all it takes is for the caldari to get hit within 3 seconds even for 5 damage and his shields will not regen. plus the caldari biggest weakness A FLUX GRENADE poof no more shields.

each suit has pros and cons so remember this when talking the suits are not even. they are balanced if you use them to their pros. it is like using a rail rifle on an amarr commando. why beause you wanted to instead of using the scr or laser rifles and get bonus damage.

ok then what about the rest of what I said? here is food for thought. you can use any suit for anything you wish however (wthin game seting) if you are not using it to its pros then you can not say look it is uneven. it is like a heavy using a nova knives -(apples to oranges) . although your comparing those two is more like apples to pears close but different.

I don't think it is. Its supposed to be fr CQC, but it lags behind the other rifles because of the lowest DPs of the assault variants (working as intended) and hipfire kick making it unwieldy inCQC (needs correcting)

Militia HMGs are almost less efficient than using an assault rifle.

The overheat almost makes the burst HMG look forgiving.

And no. Unless the almost can be removed from my statements the spam will not stop.

You underestimate the persistence of players looking for easy fast kills.

The HMG is always going to be on the razor's edge because CQC negates all disadvantages of the sentinel suits themselves.

OP updated, less HMG nerf, less scanner nerf, added regen numbers

why?

ARR is horrible in CQC, if you take the range away there is no reason to use it over a CR.

I also echo others in saying that the Breach AR is not really OP. You get hurt badly by CRs, ScRs, and RRs at range, as you should. The issue is more that the regular AR is slightly UP. They should outperform the longer ranged rifles up close, which is what BAR (but not AR) do.

In short, please do not send us back to the dark ages of combat rifle domination.

1)This assertion is odd given the meta of HP>all.

2)You mean being detected might affect survivability?

3)But what happens if a gallente fits a proto damp or two to compensate while running reps?

4)What happens if you bother with precision mods to compensate for the more stealthy nature of shields?
