Jebus McKing Nos Nothi 1369	Posted - 2015.02.01 08:44:00 - [1] - Quote I was curious about why it seems that the ScR does so much more damage than I would expect from a weapon with almost 100m effective range so I ran some tests and checked how fast I can pull the trigger and in how much dps that would result. On average I was able to fire ~6.67 shots per second. Now I'm not really good at using a ScR so I'd expect someone who uses it regularly might achieve even more rounds than that. If we now take the viziam ScR base damage of 71.5 and multiply that with 6.67 rounds per second we get a dps of ~477. That's 5% more than the dps of the Duvolle AR (453) which has an effective range of only 70m. And that's even 20% more than the dps of the Kaalakiota RR (397) which has an effective range of 100m. In summary: Viziam ScR - 477dps - 96m range Duvolle AR - 453dps - 70m range Kaalakiota RR - 397dps - 100m range To me that explains why I always have the feeling that my shields simply disappear instantly even when the ScR did not charge the shot, and why even my armor doesn't help a lot when I come up against a ScR. On top of the best dps and close to best range the ScR also gets the ability to charge shots giving the ScR quite the head start in many fights, which is a huge advantage, obviously. Now some might say "b-but heat built-up". Even with only level 1 in ScR I was able to easily deal ~1250 damage with a STD ScR before overheating, which is only ~160 damage less than an ADV(!) ACR has in its whole clip. If you use an Amarr Assault and regularly play with the ScR I think it is save to say heat becomes almost a non-issue. Jebus still hates scans.
deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP 2011	Posted - 2015.02.01 09:00:00 - [2] - Quote The ScR is a single shot weapon which requires precision. If you are using anything other than the Amarr Assault missing a charge shot is nearly a death sentence. All this whining over the ScR from shield users while us armor based users get smashed in even less time with more eHP by a CR and there is less than half as many threads talking about that. I feel like there is a correlation between being a shield tanker and being a big baby. At least you presented your thread with some science even tho you were starting with a set goal in mind that was likely manipulated by all the actual whiners on the forums. LOL if you think it is bad now, just wait til this dumb ass 5% from warbarges starts off setting the armor penalty. When combined with a couple of damage mods TTK against ScR and CR is going to go to NOTHING.

Why does it need to when any armor suit aside from a heavy or very brick tanked assault goes down in less than a second. It really comes back to the fact that the ScR and CR fall outside of the bounds of the normal TTK. With how low TTK is falling any way under that gives a certain shock value which leads to threads like this. Of course a player who never has a chance to fight back against one weapon when any other weapon is an actual battle is going to scream OP. Its all good at least CCP is going to make this problem worse with a free damage modifier for everyone.

Jebus McKing Nos Nothi 1369	Posted - 2015.02.01 10:01:00 - [6] - Quote So I used the exact same method of testing with the CR as well. On average I was able to fire ~15.2 shots per second, which results in a dps of ~451 (Boundless CR damage = 29.7). A dps of 451 is almost on par with the dps of an AR (453), though the CR has a 20% better effective range than the AR. So there certainly is room for tweaking as well. The point though still remains that the ScR performs much better, especially when you compare it to the RR which has a similar range and got its stats reduced multiple times because of that. Also the ScR performs very good in both close and long range engagements where the other rifles have at least some disadvantage in either. As I said before, someone who uses a ScR regularly, and possibly even uses an Amarr Assaut, won't have too many problems with managing the heat built-up - same as CR users don't have problems with finding the right "rhythm", as you can't just pull the trigger as fast as you can because that will actually reduce your dps. The ability to charge shots also is a huge advantage because it massively reduces the time for an opponent to retaliate. You can't find this kind of advantage on any other rifle.

I'm just trying to let you know why this topic won't change anything. I know that statement by Rattati and I find that line of thinking rather... odd. When we know that something is more efficient than it should be why do we have to wait long enough for it being a widespread problem? Just so that there'll be more people QQing about their favourite OP weapon getting nerfed days after they finally got enough SP to spec into it and join the other OP chasers? Something about the ScR has to change. Now. I'm not saying that it needs a straight damage nerf but it's got to have some kind of disadvantage to compensate for its raw damage potential and range. I was thinking to make it kinda like the Laser rifle and give it a slightly reduced damage at ranges of ~0-30m. Not as limiting as the LR but definately noticeable. Or whatever else people seem fitting. I don't really want to propose a tweak myself as I'm not a ScR user, and it would be really nice if the ScR community themselves came up with tweaks instead of constantly repeating "lol, git gud, ScR is fine, stop QQing, shield user tears, blah blah blah" Jebus still hates scans.

Do any of these weapons leave you dancing in the street if you screw up and pull the trigger too many times? Do any of these weapons require you to stop shooting at times to stop the above from happening? If you think managing heat build up on a non assault suit is oh so easy then you obviously have not used this in a combat situation and you definitely have not done it against an armor bricked suit of any kind. On this note I find it very interesting that when discussing the AR and the CR you are throwing out all kinds of numbers and saying I all over the place yet when you get to the ScR there is not much in the number area and it is all "some one who". How about instead of whining on the forums you go put a ferroscale plate on, get good, and stop wasting everyone's time with your fabricated numbers. You have made it more than clear that you are just here too defend shields and combat rifles so just say it and let everyone else tell you to shut it as well.

Varoth Drac Titans of Phoenix VP Gaming Alliance 554	Posted - 2015.02.01 11:59:00 - [11] - Quote Gotta say, I really don't find the Scr op. You say you could deal 1250 dmg before overheat? An AR does over 2300 dmg before having to reload. Also don't forget that scrs have to reload too. Plus there's the fact that you will normally stop firing early for fear of overheating rather than going to the absolute limit everytime, due to how dangerous it is to overheat. Also don't dismiss the fitting cost. The extremely high fitting cost is a major factor. Finally, the more extreme damage profile is a negative. Yes you will be great against shields, but at the cost of consistency. It's better to be decent against all enemies, than great against half.
WeapondigitX V7 The Exemplars RISE of LEGION 207	Posted - 2015.02.01 12:17:00 - [12] - Quote SCR has a optimal range of roughly 70m and it has much less damage per overheat compared to the damage per clip of the regular assault rifle. The SCR also hurts you if you overheat it and it is less user friendly. It is working as intended. Use a heavy with dampeners if you don't want them to kill your assault with one burst of bullets in 10m range engagements. Outrange them with rail rifles or try to make them miss at 50m ranges by straffing making them need to switch to a sidearm. While that is happening, you kill them with your massive clip of your AR or rail rifle. Or you could use a laser rifle. People that use SCRs are usually in a squad which means they can retreat behind other when they run out of bullets, that's situation is hard for newbs to figure out how to get around. You need to use dampeners then and flank from behind with a shotgun or HMG. Or use a flux then finish them off with a std Assault combat rifle. many other ways to kill them as well.
Kierkegaard Soren Eridani Light Horse Striker 666	Posted - 2015.02.01 12:31:00 - [13] - Quote Things to keep in mind when discussing the SCR: -it's the best 1v1 weapon in the game, capable of both long and short range engagements. It's a peerless TAC and exceptional breach. -but it's a poor assault weapon; without three or more ranks in Amarr assault its terribad at engaging multiple opponents. The overheat will kill you, period. -the damage profile matters, especially in the current meta of armour-dominance. Unless you can land every shot into the head it will not drop an adequately fitted heavy. Major issue. Balancing will be hard, because it's a weapon of many extremes; high performance, high risk. Works properly with one, maybe two suits. Good players will wreck with it, bad ones who spray and play will use it once and then never again. Dedicated Commando. CEO of Eridani Light Horse Strikers.

Breakin Stuff Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 6911	Posted - 2015.02.01 13:14:00 - [14] - Quote the scram is ineffective and inefficient in the hands of anyone who doesn't use it a lot. But the few people who DO use it are like me with the HMG or forge, they don't have to do anything but trust muscle memory because they have the battle tempo of the weapon down cold. If the Rail Rifle got a charge bonus from the caldari assault, and the gallente gave a comparatively good bonus to the AR the scram would be much less of a concern. As it stands only the scrambler and combat rifle get a good operational bonus from their racial assault suit, so yeah, they're going to be seen as overperforming. AV

Jebus McKing Nos Nothi 1371	Posted - 2015.02.01 16:34:00 - [16] - Quote Varoth Drac wrote: You say you could deal 1250 dmg before overheat? An AR does over 2300 dmg before having to reload The comparision is flawed because it takes twice as long to empty an AR clip than it takes a ScR to overheat. And that is with only lvl 1 skills. The better your skill, the longer it will take to overheat and the more damage you can deal. 1250 is only the baseline, it deals much more than that in reality. Varoth Drac wrote: Also don't dismiss the fitting cost. The extremely high fitting cost is a major factor. I'd have no problem to reduce fitting cost if the rifle was tweaked in a way to be in line with the rest of the rifles. Varoth Drac wrote: Finally, the more extreme damage profile is a negative. Yes you will be great against shields, but at the cost of consistency. ScR can very consistently deal with armor users too as the negative bonus to armor is compensated by the higher dps.

Forgive me. Please enlighten me with the proper definition of a rifles efficiency then. Rattati literally said the ScR is better than the other rifles and the only reason he is not doing anything about it is because not enough people have jumped on the bandwagon yet.

Starlight Burner ROGUE RELICS VP Gaming Alliance 101	Posted - 2015.02.01 16:41:00 - [17] - Quote People keep btching about my ScR yet they won't btch about the CR. ScR destroys shields CR destroys armor When I play pubs, I hardly see anyone using my gun. Oh, lets also not take in the affect of FPS drops that hinder the damn guns ability. When the frame tanks, the DPS it can do it LOWERED. The CR is better at destroying 1v1 to an Amar because of DPS to armor it can do. It takes someone who uses the ScR everyday all day to counter the strafing speeds and DPS the CR can do to armor. Quit btching about ScR and complain about the CR too. Dmn Thank god for CCP Rattati!!

There is obviously some hidden link between shield / CR users and cry babies. At minimum a 5:1 ratio of CRs on the field flashing through armor before most people know what happen and then they are the ones that come running to the forums yelling about the one scrambler rifle that countered them.

Petra 222 SoM Opus Arcana Covert Intervention 63	Posted - 2015.02.01 19:23:00 - [21] - Quote I have all 3 rifles in question just like most of you hopefully do. I think you are not taking into account the reliability and ease of use the ar and cr have over the scr. They are more familiar. Many games follow this trend with assault, burst, and single shot rifles. Both the AR and CR have great variants. An assault variant can be very important when single-shot and burst rifles are so greatly affected by common lag. Another point of interest when looking at the charts: Shield suits, and shield modules are topping the boards. Is it a coincidence that AR, with its ease of use and favorable damage profile, are so commonly used? Also keep in mind the most common side arms are smg's, a great companion to a shield damaging weapon. Naturaly more are going to migrate to the scr too. Though it takes more mindfulness to use at first, once you get adjusted, it is one of the best rifles in the game. Is it also a coincidence the the most common suits in the game currently are the loudest complainers of the weapons designed to combat them? another point of interest; because the scr is a precision rifle with considerable draw backs as well as high fitting costs, many newer players dont skill into the scr until they are more familiar with the game. Scr users might have more time invested into the game than the average AR user. this also might lead to the elitist ego some scr advocates display.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Dominion of the Supreme Emperor God-King KAGEHOSHI 12010	Posted - 2015.02.01 20:39:00 - [22] - Quote Well if you're just going to compare DPS and nothing else, the tacical AR has higher DPS than the SCR (same ROF, higher damage), but I don't see anyone complaining about that. It's hypocrisy to complain about the SCR's DPS, but not the tAR. Also, it has only 5 meters less effective range. Yes the Amarr assault bonus allows you not worry so much about heat buildup (but does't eliminate it), but the Gallente assault bonus allows you to not worry so much about dispersion. In addition to having more DPS, the tAR can fire more shots before reloading than the SCR can before overheating, though the amount of shots does become very close when the Amarr assault bonus is involved. Overheating is much worse than reloading though, since you ca't run, or switch to your sidearms, and if you're going to have to reload as well anyway very soon after. The tAR has more kick, but if the issue is close range effectiveness, then kick doesn't really matter since its mainly an issue for longer ranges. Support 'Keshava' for the new Gallente HAV name in honor of Cat Merc's cat which recently passed away.
Imp Smash Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 604	Posted - 2015.02.01 23:56:00 - [23] - Quote SCR: Overheat Dispersion Lack of skill to reduce this More EHP is in armor (weak to) CR: No overheat Fires more rounds before you have to stop Has a skill to reduce dispersion More EHP is in armor (strong to) Also: the scr may receive the least benefit to Aim Assist in the whole game (that's a huge maybe) Regardless, your post compares paper dps. It ignores actual applied DPS. The SCR melts shields super fast, is OK vs armor. The CR is good vs shields and melts armor super fast. From my experience the CR is better.

CRs real RPM is 857 due to the burst delay after each burst additionally to its fire delay. I have tested this with a turbo controller and you cant get more than ~14 rounds per second out of the CR.

This statement is incorrect. It's the difference between 73/shot vs. Armor and 110/shot vs. Shields. The difference between a shield hit and an armor hit is 40% variance. Similarly with the CR it's 30% difference between armor and shields. If you use damage mods the per shot divergence is substantial. I rarely die to rails or projectiles in my calsent or even my minsent. but that calsent gets it's ASS torn off by scrams because even after the 15% resists it's still ripping off nearly 100 damage per shot. Same with the CR versus my two armor sentinels. I just don't die to lasers and scrams. But the CR chops them up pretty handily. A good chunk of the problem, as I said earlier, is that gal and cal assaults get a mediocre at best weapon bonus where the min/amarr are phenomenally good. AV

Elaborate more; because, that statement, "intended ranges" doesn't make sense. Thank god for CCP Rattati!! Rogue Relics is my home away from home.
taxi bastard Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 381	Posted - 2015.02.02 14:13:00 - [34] - Quote Well ill explain some things to those who do not use the SCR - Most people will have to use the Ammar assault to have success with it ( lvl 3 or above) - The Ammar assault is the worst assault suit -It has huge fitting costs, your suit will be worse off compared to using any other gun -its a skill based weapon - you have a certain amount of shots to kill your enemy or your down to your sidearm for a bit. - some people will cheat and use a modded controller - this is not a representation of what a normal person can achieve. - mostly only people who can click pretty quick use the gun, i did some online tests and without having to concentrate on anything i achieve 5 and a bit clicks per second with the mouse which is about average from their data. in combat and on the DS3 i am sure its less. -paper and personal DPS - being that there is alot of talk of the SCR being OP i am sure many are trying the gun. you are not finding a huge uptake on the gun because the numbers expected vs what people can achieve are completely different. -The gun is unforgiving and overheat kills! you need to win and win quick. If you overheat you cannot fire and your a sitting duck, to add insult to injury you also damage yourself. -A good sidearm is a must, you will be using it more than you think. - when it shines it shines very bright, under the right circumstances its a very good weapon. with a charged shot you can 1 shot some medium suits with a head shot, 1 shot a speed fit scout with a body shot and tear up shield tanked mercs. - when its out of its comfort zone its the worst gun out there. Going against 2 or more mercs solo, you had better hope you have the right sidearm for the range or your going to loose, You will not kill a heavy before overheat so fire- cool -fire-cool/reload -fire. killing a single armor tanked assault is hard work with the SCR only. you need to aim or its a liability, every shot needs to count so you don't find too much extreme strafing for SCR users. Now some notes on the Ammar assault. -its slow and when you fit it its only going to get slower. -it has slightly more EHP than other suits generally when fitted -it has good stamina -slow EHP re gen - heavy armor bias where most guns are anti armor -i would not use it for any gun other than the SCR, the other assault suits far outshine the Ammar in combat unfortunately.

On average I was able to fire ~15.2 shots per second, which results in a dps of ~451 (Boundless CR damage = 29.7). A dps of 451 is almost on par with the dps of an AR (453), though the CR has a 20% better effective range than the AR. So there certainly is room for tweaking as well. The point though still remains that the ScR performs much better, especially when you compare it to the RR which has a similar range and got its stats reduced multiple times because of that. Also the ScR performs very good in both close and long range engagements where the other rifles have at least some disadvantage in either. As I said before, someone who uses a ScR regularly, and possibly even uses an Amarr Assaut, won't have too many problems with managing the heat built-up - same as CR users don't have problems with finding the right "rhythm", as you can't just pull the trigger as fast as you can because that will actually reduce your dps. The ability to charge shots also is a huge advantage because it massively reduces the time for an opponent to retaliate. You can't find this kind of advantage on any other rifle. Also of note is that its damage profile is much higher and set against a much lower max HP form of tanking and you get a weapon that is absurdly powerful against shield tanked suits.

Do any of these weapons leave you dancing in the street if you screw up and pull the trigger too many times? Do any of these weapons require you to stop shooting at times to stop the above from happening? If you think managing heat build up on a non assault suit is oh so easy then you obviously have not used this in a combat situation and you definitely have not done it against an armor bricked suit of any kind. On this note I find it very interesting that when discussing the AR and the CR you are throwing out all kinds of numbers and saying I all over the place yet when you get to the ScR there is not much in the number area and it is all "some one who". How about instead of whining on the forums you go put a ferroscale plate on, get good, and stop wasting everyone's time with your fabricated numbers. You have made it more than clear that you are just here too defend shields and combat rifles so just say it and let everyone else tell you to shut it as well. Yeah thats what everyone says about armor tankers too! Just equip a shield extender and stop whining! Except no armor tankers ever whine. And no armor tanker is expected to equip any shield extenders, because straight damage mods is way better for them. Thats because the anti armor weapons dont have a ridiculous damage profile and 30-40% less health than they do now, like shields have to deal with. inb4 someone mentions the mass driver like its damage output is anywhere near comparable to the scrambler rifle.

I'm decent enough but I don't use it because I run commando and the scrams suck ass on commandos. Laser is semi ok. But until I start dumping points into amarr assault it's not even worth trying to fit. AV

Quick note about module use: Shield extenders top the boards because other high slot modules are generally not worth it unless you can expect to not get shot at or are running a suit specialized in scanning (even then you will likely have more extenders than precision mods). Armor modules are proportionally less used because there is alot of competition for low slots becuase many low slot modules are very good, even among armor modules.
Alena Ventrallis Intara Direct Action Caldari State 2519	Posted - 2015.02.02 17:02:00 - [39] - Quote The ScR is a generalist weapon. It functions in both CQC and long range, but honestly all rifles should be equally effective from 0m out to their optimal, and have DPS be the determining factor as to which is superior in CQC. Now the ScR can beat all other rifles ON PAPER. But the actual in game DPS varies greatly depending on who is using it. I havent timed it but I can get pretty high up there in shot ount, to where I've been accused of using a modded controller before. But I feel like the ScR QQ comes from 2 main groups: 1. Fully shield tanked suits 2. Low HP suits (starter fits, some scouts, etc.) Yes, 1v1 I can eat those suits up. But if I miss some shots because of strafing, Or they have lots of armor, Or maybe I just got finished with a fight, I have to flip to my sidearm to finish the job or risk overheat. I believe the ScR is underrepresented in kills because while it does do a good amount of damage, ScR users are switching to sidearms to finish the job, thus tallying the kill for the sidearm and not the ScR. In short, Yes the ScR can brutalize you. But that brutalization comes at a cost, and that cost can get very pricey for those who do not learn her ins and outs. Listen to my muscle memory Contemplate what I've been clinging to Forty-six and two ahead of me
