I've been wondering; does a damage mod really make much difference to a HMG 's DPS/damage output?

Cannot like enough.

I probably should try using a mouse for Forge work. I use the DS3 and having hipfire only makes aiming the AFG a pain sometimes.

Going back to my classic amarr sent fit.

Green bottles are better for slow suits IMHO

Reposting from my thread on GD:

So with Hotfix Foxfour the Gallente assault is getting an RoF buff. This will help propel the Gallente Assault into a higher CQC use rate but at the same time I'm sort of concerned as to how that is going to affect Sentinels - notably HMG Sentinels. With AR's having a higher range, greater variety, and general versatility, the increase in DPS is something I'm concerned about overshadowing the HMG.

Can someone run the numbers and compare the pros and cons of both?

Another concern I'm having is that the AHMG is good but I'm concerned it may be overshadowing the Vanilla HMG. With greater versatility (AV capability), longer range, better accuracy, and higher damage capability, the AHMG seems to just be overall better than the HMG.

Do you think it's necessary to bring the vanilla HMG up? What are some creative ways we can bring the HMG up, if necessary, without directly changing it's DPS?

Caldari and Minmatar Sentinels, what are your expectations for the shield changes in Hotfix Foxfour?

Duly noted and added to the registry. That was Min Sent right?
