I-Shayz-I I----------I 6	Posted - 2015.08.03 23:55:00 - [31] - Quote Rattati already said he wanted to buff unused weapons before making any more changes to rifles. I was killed by an AR just the other day I have never been killed by a breach shotgun And I have never even seen the breach Mass Driver in the kill feed. There are way more important weapons out there that need to be brought up to par, like the ion pistol you mentioned.

More details here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=207271&find=unread So you're suggesting I continue to use the rail or CR, with no bonus, while we buff the breach mass driver? Great, and in the meantime every other assault suit has an amazing bonus and stronger weapons. How long would it take to make the AR viable? If he uses the free time available from not nerfing the scrambler, to fix the AR, he could probably fix all of these "unused weapons" as well. Side note: the ion requires little to sort, while those others should just probably be removed altogether. I have max shotgun skills so in the spirit of staying unbiased, I'm going to get a breach shotgun out with ion combo! It can't be that bad, and if I don't kill em in the first 2 shotgun rounds, I'll finish with the ion, or be dead anyway. shrugs "Anybody order chaos?"

Can the ion pistol get another 5 meters? In comparison to the other races weapons, these suck?! They gaurantee you're playing on hard mode, and the data has to be showing this! There's no way the data says the AR's come anywhere near the other rifles in kills since the birth of the rail and CR?! This whole "the gallente is cqc" argument became extincted with the coming of jump mods?! Stop! There is no cover! Atleast extend the effective range! I'm in everyone's 100% effective range at all times! This is ridiculous?! Trying hard to stay with it, but good lord man help a brother out! A fan thanks you for any bit of help here. o7 remember ages ago after a certain patch the assault rifle lost almost all of its range? Yeh that's how using the ion pistol feels, I know you know the same. the burst is pretty good, I can use the tac but can't do extremely well with it. I haven't used the breach since it got nerfed, I'm sure it's still deadly but in the world of ACRs and ARRs, it probably won't do too well. I don't think I've seen more than 2 or 3 people use an actual assault rifle today, apart from MLT players and even half of them don't use it. I just give up and use the SCR/CR and LR if I'm feeling brave. I remember going from 100 meter range to 30 meter range. ahhh uprising... you ruined so many things. i hate everyone.

You'll find yourself doing more running, looking for that cc dominance that you were promised, than shooting. That's what tell people. And then they look at me when j say the vanilla ar is actually op. Especially since I can still do the wiggle wiggle. CEO of 48SOF Assault Gk.0-Scout Gk.0

A breach AR?!?!" Yes, because other assault variants of rifles are just as good if not better in cqc than AR itself. I've stated this couple of times already. It was a general reference. The breach got nerfed not 3 months after having 36 rounds making it far worse in the hands of the gal assault, and you will never see it in the hands of a min, cal, or amarr assault over their own weaponry! At the absolute most, you'll see a min assault with a burst AR because 1. It actually works! 2. It's shield based, and everyone, as bad as they claim shields to be, runs cal or min assault over gal and amarr all day! On top of that the min assault is good with literally any weapon, not because of the weapons, but because of the suit. Don't even get me started on what it's good at?! Tell me something it doesn't have going for it over every other assault suit, and scouts hell! Fastest light weapon reload(CR), shield and armor regen (depending on how you build it), fast speed, fast stamina regen, fast movement speed, and all of this better than the gal, cal, and amarr assaults. Pound for pound most versatile suit. Only drawback being low ehp? Shall we even bother with the others? Gal has high reps (not high enough if a min assault is after you because he reloads faster, hits harder, regen faster, runs faster, and stamina recovers faster all in CQC lol!), no stamina or stamina recovery to get to cover to rep, one of the slowest light weapon reloads probably just faster than the scrambler, and the AR (nerfed for eternity because everyone hated it before the other rifles were even out) Atleast the cal has the rail and a decent bonus. According to you guys the shields aren't great, even after CCP gave that shield regen buff. (Hint hint use regen) The amarr has the answer cough cough I meant the scrambler, and the same slot layout as the gal, but with more armor and a devastating weapon/weapon bonus! The gal assault is most prevelent on the field rocking a ARR! That is undeniable fact! Most new players who have gal assault/AR combo, quickly switch suits altogether, or adopt the rail rifle by the time they're proto. I didn't say the AR variants were just god awful, but they are no where near on par with the ACR/CR, RR/ARR, and ASCR/SCR without serious dmg mods added! "Anybody order chaos?"

Something they hard-headedly do often. I can't understand why shield suits want to get into cqc when they have the rail rifle? Then complain that shields are weak?! For any AR to kill you effectively you have to be within 61 meters. The RR hits effectively 100% at 75! Wtf are you doing? Stacking excessive ehp is for armor suits. The best shield suits are the ones with damp, range, regen, speed, and precision. The rail doesn't need dmg mods the way the AR is practically useless without them. I ran a Cal assault in my respec trials, and it kills efficiently with less than 600 ehp. Alot of you are re-making the wheel when CCP gave you the blueprint. The ARR and RR puts you at distance with dangerous hitting power. In the words of Jesus Chrysler "you're doing it wrong". this is a pretty ignorant argument as any suit can make use of any weapon, and you agreed with my point if you arent aware of that so I don't see any reason for you to try to argue the AR does kill shields effectively at greater ranges then its optimal, and it devastates shields in CQC just like you agreed, so whats the problem? shields are balanced with the AR in the ranged aspect the problem is that the AR isnt the only weapon that deals with shields so they are still vulnerable at range due to the ScR and LR, not to mention that most armor users use the ARR anyway making the range issue almost mute, there's a lot wrong with your reasoning but I wont argue something thats clearly evident click here if you are making a new account and want some free BPO's

This weapon can't be tweaked because "oh ma shields?!" We can't add this because "oh but wait, ma shields?!" The point, regardless, is the weapon is clearly UP in comparison to all the other rifles! Are you disagreeing with that? I also have yet to hear anyone refer to the shield regen buff CCP Rattati just did to help you IN YOUR OPTIMAL! At range! Not CQC where I catch a ton of cal assaults! Why not give the gal assault a chance in his optimal, which many here are in agreement with, by buffing dmg output "IN OUR OPTIMAL"! Meaning if you bring your Caldari dropsuit within 40 meters expect to get ripped up! Why do you guys argue that the AR doesn't need ANY sort of buff whatsoever, knowing full well that it gets its * kicked in close quarters, long range, and frankly anywhere else if it's using an AR? I'm not saying all the time?! I'm saying a very scary large percentage of the time! You forget that at 40 meters or less the gal assault has to contend with mass driver splash, scouts with knives and shotguns, heavy/logi trains, core grenades, RE's, dropship splash dmg, blaster tanks, etc. Frankly the reps and speed aren't high enough, and the weapon is severely under performing. Add a rail rifle, scrambler rifle, or laser from long range, and don't forget the CR at mid to cqc, and you're spending the entire fight dancing the ** around?! You obviously don't run the suit/weapon combo! You're only concern seems to be shields going down quickly, but if you're outside of my range on all this open terrain how is that an issue exactly?

deadpool lifetone D3ATH CARD RUST415 62	Posted - 2015.08.04 04:23:00 - [41] - Quote The AR is ok at best from what it use to be . ( +ROF by a small margin or with 2-3 more rounds in the clip & your good . "Assault" ) , The Breach AR does the business & is almost at top notch . ( +1-2 more rounds in clip & should be affective as intended . "suppressor/cover fire/entery" weapon ) , The Tactical AR needs help like no tomorrow , the stats lie big time . you would think that "damn this Ho O.P" , until you pull the trigger & struggle to kill a pro caldari at 50mts lol & with more kick then a wild horse 'smh' . ( - reduce kick moderatly , + hit detection fidelity or increase 2-3 rounds ) , The burst AR shares the same stats as the C.R , but it sure as hell does not feel like it at all . i wouldnt even know where to start on with this one . the rounds scatter everywhere compared to the C.R & makes hitting a target harder big time . kicks odd & feels whole screen is moving , losing sight on target at times ( blame on scope animation ) i mean you can take your pick . AR ( +ROF small margin OR +2-3 extra rounds ) / Breach ( + 1-2 rounds ) / Tactical ( - Reduce kick moderatly & +hit detection OR +2-3 round ) / Burst ( scope animation makes lose track of enemies / -Reduce kick small margin / -Reduce bullet scatter etc ) ......
