I do agree that shield require a buff but what I don't agree with is that scrambler rifle doesn't require a nerf, yes a weapon that does 65 dmg and has a critical dmg multiplier of 2.25 and can be spammed doesn't require a little bit of nerfing note I don't want the ScR rifle dmg to be nerfed instead its fire rate if you can't pop fire the thing it wont be as broken now the assault variant is a different story drop that ******* dmg down to 36 again and laser rifle definetly need to have its dmg rebalanced

Varoth Drac Dead Man's Game 1	Posted - 2015.07.26 23:13:00 - [37] - Quote Shields barely have less hp if you look at actual equivalent fits. The only problem with shield tanking is that the increased regen potential isn't enough to offset the fact you don't regen through damage and have a bit less hp than armour. Energisers / rechargers should be buffed again. Without the charged shot scramber rifles do less dps to armour than an smg, I did the maths. Please can people stop claiming they destroy armour. And forget about modded controllers. It rare to come across someone using one, and you can't even use a charged shot with a modded controller. Regarding the charged shot, yes it's powerful when combined with an Amarr assault. But please can we not mess up something in this game that takes a bit of skill. And yes, i'm not saying a scrambler charged shot is super difficult to use, but there's more to it than any other rifle. Even with an Amarr assault, the charge shot severely limits your damage output before overheat and completely relies on you connecting that shot and punishes you for missing. Plus there is the danger of overheat, causing damage and more importantly the stun effect. When a weapon is truly OP everyone flocks to use it, as they have with every OP item in the history of Dust. The tactical scrambler rifle isn't even in the top 10 used rifles according to the market data. Even if it was more effective than any other rife, scrambler rifles have by far the highest fitting cost of any rifle. Being slightly more effective would not be a problem. If it truly does need nerfing again, I would suggest nerfing the hipfire dispersion again. Better dispersion is the main thing that the scrambler has over the tac AR. For a long ranged weapon the combo of charged shot plus good hipfire does make the scrambler a beast at short range. Though I will argue that currently the scrambler rifle does lack somewhat in long ranged engagements, even though it looks good on paper. I believe this is because the longer TTK in ranged engagements makes the overheat a real problem. Whereas a rail rifle can just keep firing slugs down range.

Unless you brick tank, you cant survive a scrambler, shields or no. If you brick tank, you are too slow to take advantage of the scramblers drawback (assuming you live long enough to see overheat make someone stop firing, and assuming for some reason he doesnt just switch to sidearm or duck behind cover). Just face it the weapon is insanely OP in the hands of an Amarr Assault and still kinda OP in the hands of anyone else.

jace silencerww MANUFACTURERS OF DEATH 185	Posted - 2015.07.27 19:21:00 - [43] - Quote think the ScR is not OP amarr users. lets look at the Scr vs Rail Rifle. both have a 75 meters optimal range. basic Scr dps vs armor - 520 basic RR dps vs armor - 457.35 (that is with max proficiency for the RR) lets try the adv ones adv Scr dps vs armor- 546 avd RR dps vs armor- 480.22 ( max proficiency with the RR) ok what about proto ones. again same optimal range of 75 meters. proto Scr dps vs armor - 572 proto RR dps vs armor - 503.8 (again max proficiency for the RR) ok lets try officer ones Officer Scr dps vs armor- 629.2 ( LOL OP MUCH) Officer RR dps vs armor- 553.39 (max prof with the RR) LOL look at that the Scr wins even almost has the same effective range. Scr is 96 vs Rail rifle is 100. so an officer rail rifle does 7.39 more dps against armor than an ADV scrambler rifle. so CCP is the Scr OP or not? don't use the overheat stuff saying it is balanced. I killed a full proto amarr sent. (full ehp) with an amarr frontline fit at 40 meters and no skills into the Scr. yes it took over one clip (as it should with any basic weapon) but I did not overheat. lol

Please lets not discuss the abysmal kick on the rail rifle, how useless it is in CQC, and how ** the weapon jumping around even before kick becomes a factor makes it for hitting targets at long range, all these things that make the rail rifle even worse in comparison than raw DPS comparison make it look, because Im a scrambler apologist and want to keep abusing the ** out of my OP weapon!

Firstly know that the ScR fits squarely into the tactical rifle line and if you look at its statistics they are very well balanced against that of the Tactical AR with the same RoF, slightly more DPS vs Shields due to its profile modifiers, and a little over 100 DPS less than the Tactical AR against armored targets. What this says to me is that with the rifle lines unfinished what we have rather than one single weapon being over powered is a lack of parity as within almost all of the rifle variations the weapons are well balanced against one another, however arguably are no well balanced against other rifle variations. Also the assertion that the ScR should be an absolutely abysmal weapon in dealing with armor is a statement I would dispute. Sure it should have some loss of DPS against armour but never enough to render the weapon useless against armored targets. Em shah tey et naGÇÖemsaer ek rahvi, amarr osedah gasi ubday pahk.

I've never said that either were balanced. Both require changes of sort made to bring them more into line. My original suggestion was the one championed in this thread that I put to Kage long ago was the concept that a delay after the changed shot result in a short ion pistol like cool down. Now I prefer mechanical changes to balancing the tactical rifles as opposed to large percentage nerfs. Heat, cool downs, etc. That being said I feel it important to remind people the line rifles are not at a stage of parity and that within their variations they are reasonably well balanced in terms of DPS against one another and that attempting to compare weapons across variational line is rather pointless given the rifle types are trying to achieve two very different goals.

Of course this post tacitly assumes that the tactical AR is balanced too, which may not be the case. We just dont see it used because the scrambler outclasses it in almost every way. But I would love to have a tac CR or tac RR, just to get armor users on board with what shield users have known for a long time now: tactical rifles are absurdly OP. I agree with you however that scrambler shouldnt be bad against armor, every weapon should be basically functional against everything else, the damage profiles should just make things marginally better (this is part of the reason I think the scrambler damage profile should be tightened up a bit, to make it easier to balance) Indeed. I've never said that either were balanced. Both require changes of sort made to bring them more into line. My original suggestion was the one championed in this thread that I put to Kage long ago was the concept that a delay after the changed shot result in a short ion pistol like cool down. Now I prefer mechanical changes to balancing the tactical rifles as opposed to large percentage nerfs. Heat, cool downs, etc. That being said I feel it important to remind people the line rifles are not at a stage of parity and that within their variations they are reasonably well balanced in terms of DPS against one another and that attempting to compare weapons across variational line is rather pointless given the rifle types are trying to achieve two very different goals. Agree with everything except the "attempting to compare weapons across variational line is rather pointless given the rifle types are trying to achieve two very different goals". In my opinion it doesnt matter what goals they are trying to achieve, since at the end of the day, the only goal that matters is murdering red people. If one line of rifles is globally better at murdering red people than other lines and there are no mitigating factors or drawbacks, then something is wrong.

Scr is 96 vs Rail rifle is 100. so an officer rail rifle does 7.39 more dps against armor than an ADV scrambler rifle. so CCP is the Scr OP or not? don't use the overheat stuff saying it is balanced. I killed a full proto amarr sent. (full ehp) with an amarr frontline fit at 40 meters and no skills into the Scr. yes it took over one clip (as it should with any basic weapon) but I did not overheat. lol How about you compare it to another tactical rifle instead of a full auto. ok sure which one? the tact ar?

At rank five it simply negates the major balancing factor of the scram. Conversely, using the scram without the ak is just a frustrating experience. So, we change the operational skill to heat build up reduction, say three percent per level, make the assault suit skill a reduction to seize duration and damage, and then make charge shots overheat by default. Fixed, fair, more accessable to heathens. shudders Have a like good sir; you deserve it. This is actually the best idea I've seen so far regarding the whole Scrambler Rifle/Amarr Assault issue, in my opinion.

RoF, Magazine Size, Effective and Optimal Ranges..... and the fact is they attributes DO matter when speaking about the rifle variations. I'm convinced the ScR can be over performing but I am not convinced that it is the vastly superior option over all other rifles. The question is what is it over performing compared to? And if someone were to say Rail Rifles I'd call them damn liars. Em shah tey et naGÇÖemsaer ek rahvi, amarr osedah gasi ubday pahk. Ekin tey vahka ijed div ema ziel. Et tey vamatal em.

The rail rifle is worse in every way aside from sheer range, and the range where it starts winning out over the scrambler rifle is so far out that both weapons are no longer capable of realistically killing anything.
