Here, you highlight my beef with it.

It can be used very efficiently in CQC, even though it has a CQC variant. I'm not sure why people want it to be good in CQC too, but I have a theory*.It outperforms it's variant where it is not supposed to. With the AScR buff, though, The normal variant should be nerfed a bit. In which way?

Well, I suggested adding something similar to what the LR has, where it has reduced efficiency up close. Or we could give it more dispersion in hipfire.

I do not want to go to a straight up damage nerf, as it will mess it up.

*It must be the mentality that the CR gives, where that rifle is good at range and excellent in CQC. People want that carried over to the ScR methinks

Who the hell goes for direct hits with the MD?

Who the hell goes for direct hits with the MD?

That doesn't change the fact that it has the potential to deal a higher DPS than the proposed.

It is much like the laser, given that I required absolute accuracy to keep the beam on my target for X seconds while the DPS ramps up you will find yourself missing a large number of shots each worth a significant chunk of your DPS and sustained DPS.

More to the point the MD is what I would consider more representative of the Artillery Minmatar Weapon paradigm which focuses in high alpha...... and 330 damage per shot is reasonably high alpha for an anti infantry weapon.

Perhaps if you weapon encouraged accuracy than random bombardment you a might increase your weapons DPS values. Regardless the point stands both values were above the 100-200 figure provided assuming all shot hit which is a very significant assumption when considering all of the discussed weapons.

Honestly, you read my last post, I could care less what happens anymore. The weapon really is only competitive vs caldari/scouts. If you nerf it down to reasonable levels vs said suits, it will be worthless against anything else. Its a High alpha weapon, just like the SG/PLC. If you take that away and make it a "normal" dps, it doesn't work.
