Weapons have a damage boost/subtraction of 15 - 25%. Even more with damage mods, and warbarage. So the scrambler rifle does a very high excessive amount of damage to armor and shields. Even with the subtracted 20% to armor its like it is nothing at all. You can still easily kill of anything within a few shots.

High hate of fire weapons like the assault combat rifle, are at a extreme disadvantage. With proficiency with 5 it does like 20Hp damage with 1200 rounds a minute. The problem is the -15 % damage is a lot for the combat rifle. Ill put in a good two rounds into caldari anything and not get past shields. However the armor is like butter.

So basically the high DPS weapons are as likely to be affected with the % added or subtracted. I think the % should be lower. Like 5/10 % not 15 20 and 25 % like it is now. Because with proficiency 5, assault pro 3 dam mods, warbarage lv5, and scram against anything = instant death.

Thoughts?

You do realize this is all old news right? This is also what separates Dust from CoD.

Balancing can always be improved, but there are plenty of other unbalanced weapons that CCP could be fixing. Unbalanced weapons in dust: Breach shotgun - terrible Breach mass driver - terrible Assault swarm launcher - pointless Breach SMG - OP, nerf mag size like they did for BAR. Charge sniper rifles - poor Large blasters - OP vs infantry, nobody bothers with gunners Small blasters - still not worth it Breach forge guns - pretty rubbish I'm sure there are others.

Get it right: large blasters are OP vs vehicles, not infantry. Their firing mechanic simply makes them most suitable to engage infantry and should be the weakest against vehicles. And small blasters are rather good on a missile/rail HAV, but of course they are only as good as the gunners (same thing goes for large blasters too; people complained previously that they could easily kill infantry, but it's actually hard to track and hit moving infantry with the required accuracy. They still required aiming as much as any other weapon. And before you claim that I used large blasters before, I rarely did, because I was into Gunnlogis and missiles and I couldn't aim well enough to be a good blaster HAV) "By His light, and His will"- The Scriptures, 12:32

Considering all of our weapons have a proficiency skill that boosts that profile(damage I should say) by 15% to start with, even with less extreme profiles they would still display very large strengths against the targets they are strong against. A laser at +10 -10, or explosives for that matter, would still be incredibly strong to shields. Though yes, I do see how it could become too effective to armor so a , maybe more extreme to what they are weak against. Like lasers could be +10 -15, then with proficiency they would be back to their old positive profile. But in this way they aren't extreme to the point of just OHKing anything they are strong against.
