2 hours ago 28/3 basic CR nothing hard about that weapon at alllllllll.....even on shields it isn't a challenge

And that is because no one shield stacks anymore, only reason why that it is even viable right now

Because you know you are wrong to bash combat rifles that take more skill than scramblers

That's because there's no one good left playing DUST lol.

SHOCKER right?

You act like scrambler is god mode , shut up and let them nerf it themselves then, just cause you see a thread crying about the scramber you felt like it was your time to cry to

Anyhow.
I'm out. This thread bores me.
Its devolved into banter.

That's what these guys come to every thread to do. If it's something they don't like they turn it into a pissed contest in hopes that no one pays attent ion to the actual point. No math, logic, or reason. Just accusations of QQing, calling other people dumb, and referring to them as noobs that need to "get gud", or more comm only known as running fotm fits with 12 man q syncs full proto..... because that means you individually has definitely graduated to "gud".

The point of this thread start as more of a question hidden in a statement from a player who has noticed he dies more from the scrambleg rifle than any other statistically. He didn't state whether or not he was shield or armor based. If he's shield based we know his problem, and the thread could've ended with "bro avoid the scramber at all cost because you are shield based".

Instead nobodies with bs reputations to build jump at the opportunity to repeat what some other idiot said. "You're just crying". Instead of asking the right questions, giving the right answers, and keeping a player in the community. We try to sound tougher than we are, and usually just come out sounding extremely uneducated.

Anyone who stops to do the math knows that the rifle needs a tweak because it out performs other rifles by leaps currently. So much so that I've been in squads with guys from alot of different corps all saying that when they see the scrambler go off they run. "F*cking scrambler rifle" is a common place phrase now. It hits so hard, and against armor? That I would say would be my biggest gripe. It has a -20 against armor, but hits as if you were wearing none?! The AR is a shield based weapon, and as a gallente with plenty of armor I have no issues surviving an AR. The scrambler on the other hand takes armor based fits down unbelievably quick.

The best way to keep trolls off post so you can attempt to have an intellectual conversation is to keep the point of the thread alive. Letting them ruin your thread, and cor privileged is bs.

400 shields so no damage mods and 800 armor so no reps...and you lost in your 1200 ehp heavy to a militia scrambler ? lol you just garbage

There's a forum rule against proving people wrong?
They should have banned me a long time ago!

Because you know you are wrong to bash combat rifles that take more skill than scramblers

If that's OP, then we better take a serious loom at the CR, since it can easily achieve 577.5 DPS..

Oh. And just so you know, the CR is capped at 6.25 bursts per second. So you aren't firing it at 7 burst per second.

What do you know? I just proved you a liar as well!

As someone who primarily runs shield fits I must say the OP has lost his rabid-ass mind.

[quote=killertojo42]Make it so the scrambler rifle does charge shot damage at 75-100% on the charge gauge
Decrease base damage to eliminate simple spam shooting so it doesn't out DPS every weapon in the game within .1 to .5 seconds
Make scrambler rifle operation decrease cool down by 10% each level

Lol. Stop making fun of yourself!
Do you even know who you are?

This is the fix, but ccp won't do it. We've brought it up multiple times. Also, yes the forums police won't let the weapon be balanced because they're a bunch of kd padders. Don't worry the nerf bat will come instead of easy balance after scrubs drive the scrambler rifle kill data through the roof.

That's what happens when these gus try their best to kill your thread. We ask for balance, but they bash you. The weapon continues on the path of epic wrecking, and ccp inevitably nerf it into the dirt. Kd padding is a disease that will get your weapons obliterated. Once they balance the scrambler rifle there will be thousands of threads about guys quitting the game lol!

When one armor plate out performs 2 shield extenders, ferroscale plates give more HP with no movement penalty and the only self repairing plates put out as much HP as shield extenders you can't just shield stack and not end up regretting it more than a few times, shield stacking only works against CRs and it is so easy to armor stack without truly even trying and the caldari assault has the base HP to be the only suit that can come out with more shield HP than armor HP if duel stacked properly

Isn't that what it already does, though? At least for the standard ones, not sure about AScRs.

No, it's basic overheat is 19 shots and on amaar assaults they can unload 24 rounds before overheat, someone already posted the numbers

Don't lecture me on how driopsuits work, I'm well aware of the limitations.

My preferred suits are:

Calsent
minsent
calassault
minassault
minmando
then the others in no particular order

I run shield fits and I win against scrambler weapons as often as they kill me.

The secret is to not attempt to brawl with them inside 45-50m unless you're rocking an HMG or mass driver. Past that laser weapons are pretty easy to rip down. Just gotta remember to play to the strengths of the dropsuits.

when I run caldari I give supporting fire and covering fire to armor stupids.

when I play minmatar I run in rabid little circles spamming explosive shells all over the place and run away like a weenie and reload/recover to do it again. Or I run in with a burst HMG, murder a couple people and run the f*ck away really really fast.

Minsent really is the best assault suit ever.

Its actually 18 and 23. Not 19 and 24.

Isn't that what it already does, though? At least for the standard ones, not sure about AScRs.

I am working on getting all minmataar suits up to level 5 operation and have fully skilled out CRs and SMGs, I'm one level from level 5 on my logi and 2 on my scout and made my minmataar assault a working killing machine when dust was scout 514, I average 20 to 30 kills a match and find myself only out DPSed consistantly in close quarters my scrambler rifles and I run prototype damage mods especially as minmataar is supposed to be the damage tanking race
