This ScR change did nothing to the alpha OHK of shield suits.

That's Ydubbs bro. You don't have the resume me he has. You're just a peanut in a turd.

Funny the community wasn't "swirling" when they agreed to nerf RR but kept the SCR OP

I for one do this all the time, none of my armor based suits even run shield extenders except for my amarr logi, every other suit runs x1 precision x2 damage mods or just straight damage mods if its my amarr sentinel. Combat rifles are no special problem, in fact the scrambler is still scarier because while the CR does more damage over time, the scrambler can zap me down to 200-400 health instantly before I can even register in my conscious mind that Im being attacked due to the charged shot option.

I think the SCR is still probably the best rifle in the game, but I read that thread when you posted it and liked the analysis (though I am not in a position to verify). A good change we could make to the Scrambler would be to delay increased heat per shot and increased damage per shot until the charge is significantly built, so microfiring is not a spoiler in how the weapon works. Love to see this on the ion pistol as well. However as usual I dont get to tell CCP what to do, so **** it.

Regardless that change doesnt change the fact that for shield based dropsuits the scrambler easily does 800+ dps, which is enough to absolutely murder most dedicated shield fits in less than a second, and that does not include charge shots. Compare that to what you say is close to the second best weapon in the game, the rail rifle, which does about 500 dps to armor fully upgraded and has **** firing characteristics and **** mechanics to boot especially in CQC, compared to the Scrambler which works with pinpoint accuracy throughout its range and has a drawback that generally only comes into play after the target is dead.

Edit: add to that second paragraph that shields generally have less total HP, working against a significantly higher source of dps, and its just ******* absurd to think that the scrambler isnt imbalanced.

What are you saying? That the CR on armor is just as damaging as the scr on shields?

I agree with most of what you are saying. After the hotfix shield buffs the suit to suit comparison (scrambler aside) is alot tighter now between shield and armor, alot of the remaining issues lie in overall support options for each suit type, or lack thereof.

One thing I'd dispute though is the claim that the SCR is useless even in the hands of a veteran player with it maxed, if someone genuinely finds it useless I submit that it is the player who is, in fact, useless.

Amarr suit bonus is just too strong to avoid this kind of thing, the same thing exists with some other bonuses, like the Cal/Gal scout bonus which are too weak to perform their function until the skill is at level 5. I dont like this kind of skill but thats the game we have. Would love to see some CPM work to fiddle with these skills so they dont leave the lower skilled players with non-functional suits or weapons that perform dramatically different depending on suit.

So why are there so many Amarr Assaults running around with rail rifles these days?

Locus grenade is handheld thrown projectile. Talking Weapons, as in the ' L ' in your Dropsuit Fittings.

SR Takes longer than 1 second to do 450dmg with follow up shots. You have time to react to the damage of it. Unlike a ScR that can Alpha OHK shields with follow up shots.

CR is damage over time. You can react to the damage of it.

Try again m8.

Right right, because being instablapped of 500 shields in less than 1 second is counter play. Gives the player no time to react to incoming damage or potential threat. Yeah, that makes sense. As I said, if the gun worked like this below, I wouldn't complain because those are fair drawbacks for the damage output.



1k feedback is too much imo. Maybe 300HP

More like Forum Warriors not wanting to apply fair gameplay. I tried, obviously community don't give a damn.

So, fuk it.
