This is a disgusting combo, i can not believe what I'm hearing....

Seeing as how hybrid weapons are what gallente use, it is a proper racial combo. I use the AR more because i like it but the ARR is better in almost every way.

Why not? You know the Gallente get bonuses to both Blaster and Railguns and often times certain Gallentean ships can fulfil interesting roles making use of Rails like the Navy Comet (answer to the Slicer in AM/Min WZ) kiting Catalysts, etc.

More to the point it is a correct racial combination since they developed they technology originally.

Re-read my edited post.

No it does not.

However not everyone is content with an incredibly short range rifle even if they do like the Gallentean Dropsuits aesthetics, themes, etc. I figure if the rifle itself were better then the suit and rifle combo would be better.

Also I don't know about you but I always felt the dispersion reduction bonus was a nerf for CQC fighting.

Yeah, near everyone runs armor-based weapons because the opponents are armor-based. You wanted shield suits to be fodder, so now you have to deal with an armor meta.

It's smart but aesthetically disgusting. The GalAss w/ ARR beating the same suit w/ AR or MinAss w/ AScr beating the same suit w/ ACR. I don't suppose this should be intended.

Fix shields > Less of ARMOR 514 > Greater prevalence and application of shield weapons to counter newly-buffed shield suits > Further AR buffs if needed > smiles all around.

Yes, Gallente/rail weapons do technically fit the lore, but Gallente typically use shorter range rail weapons in EVE.

Also, to those of you who are using this thread to complain about the Gallente Assault bonus, the bonus is absolutely fine. I don't see the problem. The more accurate something is, the more DPS it has because the more shots hit the target. You just can't be a noob; have to be accurate instead of depending on the spread of rounds to compensate for your inaccurate shooting. Reducing spread means it makes the "cone" skinnier, meaning more shots hit at a longer range. The closer you are to your target, the closer they are to the cone's "tip" and the more shots hit them. Skinnier cone means the tip is smaller also. You just need to be able to hit the broadside of a barn.

Sorry, we couldn't see what you guys were using all the way back in your redline, but I can assure you I do not see many GAL/RR combo's in FW. Actually yesterday was the only 1 I can remember. Perhaps it's a PUB(scrub) thing?

The Gallente Assault suit has nothing about it that screams CQC.
The Minmatar Assault is actually a far better suit for that. If you can't close the distance your AR is useless, and the Minmatar Assault is best at that. Both for its speed and stamina.

As for the AR itself, it's a simple matter of it not being as devastating as it should be in CQC.
It can do jack shit at ranges where other rifles still hit with full damage, and as such it should only be logical that when it does hit for full damage, it hits like a truck that makes all other rifles ashamed.

But it doesn't, and as such there's no point in using it.

I think the community actively laments their loss. If the existed now as they did back then I'd still be using the Duvolle on all of my fits.

Those were some sweet guns and sweet iron sights.
