Ok, I believe it is time for me to shed off my troll approach in regards to arguments like this. Usually I would make some true statement but twist it as a troll dbag move. Excuse the long ass post.
In regards to the argument that the Ion Pistol is crap. While I agree that it is nowhere near as good as it should be, it missing dead on shots, I still say it is viable. I have a suit, that I use double Ion Pistols on. I have great success with it, ofc I don't go like 30 kills, but i get around 15 to 20. Just with that fit. I am not saying it needs to stay the way it is, it does need a buff. But seriously, you know how CCP is with buffs and nerfs.
Take this example. I am a scout, been since beta. I remember a time back in the day when us scouts were not loved by CCP or the community. Despite how underwhelming our suit was, we still managed to become feared. NK Minjas, Shotty Gals, Gal Snipers. We were perfectly fine. Then came the cloak and we were even more fearsome, because back when the cloak debuted, it was OP and completely invisible. It made monsters like mr musturd and DJINN Marauder crazy. Then that got nerfed to all hell and now it is basically useless. Then CCP hit us with the god awful FoTM, which is actually when I took my year long break from DUST. Everybody that once called scouts trash and useless, were now using them and invading our precious sanctum and sullying it with their muddy hands. Then they nerfed us and the FoTM chaser left.
Take a look at the BP, it is near omnipotent right now, almost as bad as the almighty AR back in the day.
My point is, CCP has proven time and time again, that they are not always great with Buffs/Nerfs. But I do believe in Rattata, so far he is the most coherent dev along with LogiBro (I miss you...) and Frame. RatFrame are great, and I believe Rat can fix that CCP curse.
I say that the BP should be nerfed by maybe 50%. Nerf that awful magnetism and AA and buff it a bit without AA, because without AA the BP is awful. And I say the Ion Pistol should be buffed by atleast 30%, because like I said, it is not god awful but it is not great.
Now onto this nonsense argument going on down here. Kirk, stop defending the BrAR, it is OP and you know it, it needs a nerf just like the A/ScR, A/CR, and BP. I am not talking a huge nerf. Because the Scrambler is actually working as intended, it is just too powerful. Leave the bonus alone, it is perfectly fine, the damage output just needs to be nerfed. It tears through everything too much. The BrAR however is ridiculous, it tears through regardless of what suit is using it. The Combat is in the same boat as the Scrambler , however. And the BP is in a league of it's own. I am unbiased. I am not for Team Gallente, Caldari, Matari, or Amarr. I am for Team Knowledge. I want this game balanced, and it is never going to be when people like you keep defending OP weapons. I actually believe the shotgun is a little OP and I use it on a regular basis. It is really easy mode. It has high amounts of alpha damage, but since it is a shotgun I always somewhat believe that to be accurate. In real life, shotguns give more bang for your buck, they have considerably higher amounts of damage outputs than other rifles or sidearms. But the thing is, CCP gave the shotty more chambered shots than a real shotgun. 6 shots is far too much and a little OP for a weapon with such high damage. The number of shots should actually be reduced to maybe 3 or 4, idk. But I know the number of shots it has in it's chamber now are far too much.
I agree with Aeon, and I believe he is unbiased. That is one of the things I like about him, and I believe he could be the next LogiBro one day...maybe.
