What a useless weapon, can anyone explain to me why to use it over a rail or a sniper?
Even in it's optimal - you're going to just plain suck. The best you can hope for is to be suppressive - even then, once you get to armor you'll be snail crawling every kill.
RR is forgiving if you miss just hip fire and it'll spread your shots for people with poorer aim - if lazer is going to be pin point then it needs to reward you for it. RR isn't pin point and it does far more. It makes no sense that a weapon that is easier to use rewards you more for it.
Either push the optimal of the laser to 25-120m and leave it as is - or increase the DPS.

I proposed to make it a light anti shield av weapon for the amarr on trello.
I wouldn't mind it doing more close range damage since it's still hard to use at that range already.

No. Lasers are fine as they are, they're a niche weapon. Instead of reinventing the wheel and changing one of the three amarr weapons in the game that actually is somewhat distinct and has a flavor of its own instead of being a generic hitscan rifle, how about we instead actually work on getting a few more weapons for the amarr.
The fusion rifle from destiny makes an excellent model for a pulse laser weapon (be it a heavy weapon, a smg, or the amarr 'shotgun').

More range? I wouldn't complain. My only real problem with it is that ADS still feels glitchy, too frequently people will move through the beam multiple times without taking damage and it's even worse if I'm actively trying to track them.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

This is a thing of beauty to say the least.
I think the LR is pretty close to being where it needs to be. The only thing that I might like to see with it is expand it's sweet spot by 10 meters on either side.

the laser is much better for me personaly than the rr. did I mention its ridiculsy accurate hip-fire being pin point? all it takes is heat/ammo management and if you persit in its use can be a mean QCQ weapon........fun fact the laser rifle dosnt have an effective range. just an optimal.

Why would you pick laser over RR or sniper? seriously its only bad if youre not an amarr assault, same as the scrambler rifle, though it is interesting that the amarr assault is the only suit in the game that changes a weapon from complete **** to borderline OP, none of the other assault bonuses do this for their racial weapons, cal get reload spead? cool but it doesnt help because by the time you finish your clip everyone is dead, minmatar with extra ammo? most people switch to their sidearm before main clip runs out anyway, gallente assault? I dont think I even notice that bonus seeing as everyone has been using it for almost 3 years.
And then the amarr assault can fire the viktors without overheating- what? |

On any other suit maybe... But on Amarr Assault it is great.
As aid before, ur doing it wrong. If someone is out in the open, blaze them. If they are popping from cover, preheat it, then blaze them. Its not ridiculously hard...

Actually it can do some pretty good damage against lavs and even dropships if used in a group (of course a dropship is a bit of a harder target if it is a ways away). A squad of us all took laser rifles and melted a lav in a really short amount of time, actually surprised us. |

No kick and no sway. The precision on a the laser rifle is its best quality, in this peasants view.
I would rather look bad and win, than look good and lose.

Even in it's optimal - you're going to just plain suck. The best you can hope for is to be suppressive - even then, once you get to armor you'll be snail crawling every kill.
RR is forgiving if you miss just hip fire and it'll spread your shots for people with poorer aim - if lazer is going to be pin point then it needs to reward you for it. RR isn't pin point and it does far more. It makes no sense that a weapon that is easier to use rewards you more for it.
Either push the optimal of the laser to 25-120m and leave it as is - or increase the DPS.
The laser is a fun novelty weapon....just like the PLC
Sometimes they can be useful in certain situations but for everyday combat not so much.
That and there is nothing like watching a minmitard heavy scurry across open ground while you are frying him. Quite entertaining.

@ sota.
If you haven't specced into it, probably best not to comment on its usefulness. The laser is in a really good place, no better or worse than the ScR if you know how to use it. I do fine with it and I'm in no way a specialist with it, or even a great slayer at all. I can think of 4 or 5 names who easily rack up 20+ kills a match with it (yes, they could probably do it with a RR as well.)

Come on laser guys - shoot me. I'll just call and LAV and wreck your life - and if you don't have proto AV nades against my Saga-II - you have absolutely no chance, and it doesn't matter which suit I take.
Sniper and RR has a chance up close - and they have the range, and better DPS.
Seems silly.

I can think of 4 or 5 names who easily rack up 20+ kills a match with it (yes, they could probably do it with a RR as well.) If i could soil my hands with any long range rifle other than my darling laser I would probably run well with rr I do exceedingly well with boundless cr which I am told is hard to connect with lol

Instead of reinventing the wheel and changing one of the three amarr weapons in the game that actually is somewhat distinct and has a flavor of its own instead of being a generic hitscan rifle, how about we instead actually work on getting a few more weapons for the amarr. The fusion rifle from destiny makes an excellent model for a pulse laser weapon (be it a heavy weapon, a smg, or the amarr 'shotgun').

I wouldn't mind it doing more close range damage since it's still hard to use at that range already. You are not amarr, do not try to tell us how to be amarr. 4* amarr weapons in the game weapon variations don't count....

Even in it's optimal - you're going to just plain suck. The best you can hope for is to be suppressive - even then, once you get to armor you'll be snail crawling every kill.
RR is forgiving if you miss just hip fire and it'll spread your shots for people with poorer aim - if lazer is going to be pin point then it needs to reward you for it. RR isn't pin point and it does far more. It makes no sense that a weapon that is easier to use rewards you more for it.
Either push the optimal of the laser to 25-120m and leave it as is - or increase the DPS.
I'd probably choose the rail or sniper, so I can't really help you there. lol
That said, they're pretty good for running in packs in Ambush in the open maps and destroying pubbies.
But at the highest level, they really have nothing they are "best" at, which is why you don't see them, IMO.
How to solve that is up for debate, but I'm not sure that DPS or a range change is the answer -- they melt people pretty quick as it is, IMO. Perhaps the warmum period could be less or something like that.

Zero kick. Zero dispersion. Gets better the longer you keep firing, not worse like every other weapon. Skill weapon - requires good judgement to use, a keen eye for the headshot and a steady hand. Rewards all three of those qualities with face-melting damage. Literally. Is the only actual suppression weapon in the game. It's a frickin' lazor. Synergy with Amarr assault is terrifying to behold. It makes cal assault RR mercs weep just to think of What Could Be. Speaking of the RR, it's the only weapon that out ranges bar the sniper rifle. Technically more accurate than both. Sweet. It's just immense. Back it up with a breach scram and you're golden. Because you're Amarr, probably.

Melts everythng! This is a thing of beauty to say the least. I think the LR is pretty close to being where it needs to be. The only thing that I might like to see with it is expand it's sweet spot by 10 meters on either side. please get rid of the scope, give us the old zoom this

The laser is a fun novelty weapon....just like the PLC Sometimes they can be useful in certain situations but for everyday combat not so much. That and there is nothing like watching a minmitard heavy scurry across open ground while you are frying him. Quite entertaining. PLC's are usable in everyday situations if you know the projectile arc and speed well enough. It can dominate cover to cover firefights, provides AoD, and can be used as AV if needed.

Sniper and RR has a chance up close - and they have the range, and better DPS. Seems silly. You run a suit with the most armor in the game, and you laugh at a weapon that does the least armor damage? Hmm makes sense to me. And you could beat any non-heavy suit by running a heavy in LAV. The instant teleport in/out mechanics are broken. If you are getting beat by a RR against a heavy in CQC, I dont know what to say...

Reading comprehension sucks today apparently. I see what you are trying to say, and the fall-off is a bit ridiculous, but a lot of laser users aren't easily caught by a LAV. They are either in places not accesible to LAVs, or have spent enough time with a laser to know what to do. I carry a sub on every laser suit. I guarantee you won't LAV up to me and get an easy kill with anything but a heavy.
