I would have been more inclined to leave the heat where it was and add a short spool up time so that the rate of fire would start low and take a fraction of a second to get up to speed.
By nerfing heat on the base HMG and buffing Heat on the Burst HMG you are making these weapons more similar, when the HMG is supposed to be more of a suppression weapon and the Burst is supposed to be more of a 1v1 weapon. HMG is not a suppression weapon currently, it's a destroy anything in its path weapon and far too forgiving. I like the damage part that way, but not for such a long sustainable time. If I wanted it to suppress, I would decrease damage per round. You can still hold the trigger down for many seconds, especially with skills. And I speak for myself when I declare that spooling is terrible. I think everyone was happy when it was removed, but anything is possible.
Hmg is anything but forgiving

Cat Merc wrote:Arkena Wyrnspire wrote:I have bad news, Rattati.
Cat Merc was hugely pleased to have had his 00.01 damage buff on the Duvolle, but upon attempting to use a Glorious Gallente Gun (The Federation Duvolle Specialist Assault Rifle) he discovered that it still has 33.99 damage. This is terrible, and Cat has gone into an awful depression over the news.
Please help. 
I heard lockboxes have mega catnip, go open some :)

CCP would you ever consider buffing the range of the AR, the hmg is king of CQC and with a matching range to the AR there is no place for the AR 0-40M... It would be nice if the hmg had a slightly shorter range, or higher dispersion at range which reduces over time, but from what I can see this won't ever happen.
And yeah I see you nerfed the range of the breach, but there are ways to buff it's range and stop it from being crazy.

Downside, was in an Ambush not too long ago and while it didnt feel like the game itself was lagging, the fire rate on the Burst AR was slowed down while firing at the main group of enemies on the bridge, once that is fixed the game will be so nice.
Burst AR, so nice, so smooth. So silky! *drops channelers trident* :3 I'm currently running a +5 Demon's Great Hammer build, only dropped from silky stones

That's because it's a rof weapon, they suck past their optimal. Any weapon with a rof of 700 or above is going to suck past that range.

Any weapon with a rof of 700 or above is going to suck past that range. Falloff range incrementally decreases your damage for every meter outside optimal.
Yep which is why if you have a weapon where bulk of it's dps comes from damage you won't feel this effect until longer rangers
