Sorry to make another GalAss thread, but... why did no one tell me how awesome a TacAR + FP combo was?
As stated before, I was struggling to find ways to make the GalAssault viable at ranged combat. Many of you had given some really good suggestions, so I tried to build off of them. Sadly, the majority of advice had little effect on improving where the GalAss was lacking. Sure multiple KinCats, Profile Damps, LAVs, etc. can be of assistance, but they never really solved the problem of actually engaging at range.
Anyway, looking through what I had available in my assets, I noticed I could equip Flaylock Pistols. It completely slipped my mind, but I had the darned things completely maxed out (proficiency, rapid reload, fitting optimizatinons, etc. all at 5). I slapped a Core FP onto a Duvolle Tac fit and and was blown away by what the little pocket rocket could do.
The TacAR is primarily a medium ranged rifle. It does well to take out shields as it hits quite hard and with a fast enough trigger finger, it can almost compete with the ScR. However, being shield based does have its disadvantages and that is where the FP comes into play.
The darned thing has longer range than the Tac. It helps to chew through the last bit of armor that the Tac couldn't finish off, even with poor aim. What's more surprising is how it makes opponents go into some type of panic mode. Against explosives, players tend to react by jumping away and trying to find cover. In effect, their aim is thrown off and the GalAss user is left in the better position, allowing him or her to give chase and close the distance.
This will be my last GalAss thread, but if you haven't tried an FP on a TacAR fit, I highly recommend you give it a shot. You'll be more than pleasantly surprised. |

Grand total of 74 less DPS against shield than the ScR and a higher DPS vs armour.
On a Gall Assault it gets reduced recoil doesn't it? Or at least reduced hipfire spread.

it gets both reduced kick and reduced hip fire
also I still recommend the burst AR as it is easy to fire it at full RPM if you time your shots just right
you get a bigger clip 70 rounds with 29.5 dmg per shot, 3 shots per burst and RPM of 1200
compared to the RS-90 combat rifle that does 28.35 dmg per shot at the same rate with a smaller clip 54 rounds 68 rounds on a lvl 5 min assault I believe

I finally tried out a tac AR for the first time since beta, and I found it rather underwhelming. Perhaps because I was using it on a logi.
That being said, vanilla ARs are the best logi weapon. Massive mag, and as a logi, you'll really only be fighting in cqc.

I literally told you to use the Tac +¦_+¦ plus the the damn Ar has a -10% to armor that can easily be overcome with 2 light damage mods to give you a positive bonus all around. Also adding on to what True said it has the same RoF similar clip size to the Scr amount of shots able to fire till overheat, plus it doesn't freaking overheat!!! Still don't understand this whole crusade against the Scr when the Tac is just tagging along not even getting judged by the masses but whatever I got the Cr as a backup.

Better off running the Scrambler Rifle, honestly. Better overall. Longer range, better damage application, charge up, more rounds in the mag, better dispersion, etc. Only thing that sucks about it is the armor damage (which is negligible with charge-up) and fitting cost.
But at that point you might as well just switch to Amarr Assault. I gave it a go for a while and it was just -re-got-damn-ridiculous- how much more powerful.

You still get toasted by amarr assaults and their scramblers cause they have a excellent optic on their rifle and deffo more range then you have on your TAC AR.
Rudimentary Mercs of scrubs and incompetence. You touch my mind, fumbling in Ignorance, incapable of understanding.

Yeah, I also have a maxed AmAssault with maxed ScRs and the fit I use on my GalAss works out better for my AmAss.: especially an AScR/FP combo. |
