Mostly excited for the patch as it has potential..

Have same concerns as a few others.

Scrambler buff... Ok so no one in thier right mind runs shield fits as Armor>Shields... so lets buff the anti shield gun that no one is using since no one runs shields...

Instead of 3 people running shields on the server there will be around 1... the problem is using the scrambler sucks against armor and EVERYONE IS RUNNING ARMOR... balance shields first then look at the scrambler rifle.

Yo Rattati armor hardeners needed some love but going from 50% worse than shield hardeners to 50% better is swaying the pendulum pretty far in the direction of armor tanks. Infantry is already dominated by armor.. we want tanks doing the same thing?

That duration is going to make running Incubus and armor HAVS the only option... 30% makes far more sense given how long they last. Shield tanks have like 900 armor that spells death to any weapon while armor tanks have like 1200 shields that is used as a buffer...

while the regulators are a good start, without shield boosters being viable there are going to be A LOT of armor tanks.

Myofibrils + RE spam is going to get old fast

Dropsuit Shield and Armor tanking are currently at pretty good parity.

Says the guy who bases everything off numbers while knowing nothing about his own game meta.

yeah totally

Says the guy who bases everything off numbers while knowing nothing about his own game meta. yeah totally I'm going to leave the insults out of this one, but I would like you to reflect on something with the ASCR for a moment. This weapon will... - Dominate at range, especially with phantom recoil - Dominate in CQC due to its hipfire spread helping the AA mechanics. - Pretty much automatically win against all shield based opponents - Stand above other armor based opponents - Have heat as rarely ever a factor, even less so with amarr assault bonus. I know you were trying to get this weapon going, but this is going to introduce more problems than it will solve. What you could have done was shift its profile numbers down by 5 make it a little more well-rounded, and then given it a slight damage increase of about 5%. That would have kept it at about the same proficiency against shield opponents as it is now, and made it at least viable against armor based opponents. But instead, now it's just going to be an overkill machine on shields and really really good against armor. This is not ideal. If you insist on making this the rifle of absolute death and destruction that stands above all others, then you're going to need to increase the amount of heat it generates. Possibly to the point of it being nearly unviable outside of the Amarr Assault. Usually banned for being too awesome.

Still think the new AScR will be fine? /me opens skill tree. Confirms I am still skilled into all ScR skills to V and Amarr assault V. Cat, I have no idea what you are going on about. The AScR buff seems balanced in every possible way. In fact, 15% more damage may not be enough! Let's try 20%, just to be on the safe side. I actually have prof on it to IV, it's the second rifle I got to higher than prof III kek. Same here. And again, this buff is overkill. Severe overkill. Usually banned for being too awesome.
