St4r W1nd Algintal Core Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2012.11.22 07:02:00 - [5] - Quote GKK-13 burst is 29.7 dmg The Goreewreck and Killswitch are both 33. weren't these both higher? While the subject is up, as you level skills up does it for instance display damage for a weapon taking in to account your skills or just the base damage?
KingBabar Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 442	Posted - 2012.11.22 07:58:00 - [6] - Quote There is no difference at all, at least to my experience.

Duvole should be same as Killswitch but 36 damage. If they nerf AR, Laser will be way to superrior than AR, so not gona happen.

The laser rifle will have a hard time being superior to the AR, even if the AR is nerfed. For the laser rifle to be of any use one must stay on target at all times. That being said the AR is currently a very powerful weapon, and can easily outmatch most weapons. Thus those using an SMG, sniper rifle (at mid range), and a laser rifle will have a stern disadvantage if the player does not first strike hard and strikes fast. The shotgun and currently updated HMG are really the only weapons I find able enough to take on an AR at close to mid range. As a player that uses the SMG as a main weapon i would love to have some chance of surviving during an encounter with an enemy, and not be blown away before i can even get a shot off; while i try to heal my teammates as a triage unit.

You can heat up the Laser Rifle firing into empty space, then scan across a target and deal massive damage, or onto the target and stay there for even more damage. It builds up damage progressively as it heats up, and that damage is applied to any target you hit. It doesn't matter how long you've had that specific target lit up for, it only matters how long you've been firing and how hot your weapon is.
HyperionGem 0	Posted - 2012.11.27 15:11:00 - [10] - Quote Oh i thought the laser rifle does damage equal to the amount of time it is spent on a character, my bad. I have not used or seen much of the laser rifle so i cannot say much, but what i do know is that when i use an SMG there is very little chance for me to survive when facing a player with an AR. I have my SMG skills maxed and i am carrying TOXIN ICD ( Not the best SMG), but even with the top rated SMG in hand i still have a difficult time dealing any real damage to the enemy player; unless he does not see me initially.

That's why the submachine gun is a side arm secondary weapon. your choice to use it as a main weapon

Get closer. From a little outside the usual effective range of Shotguns, the Toxin can rip most enemies apart more effectively than their ARs. Also, as mentioned by Knightshade, they're a Sidearm for a reason.

The range needs some tweaking too! Have had some people use an AR at Sniper rifle range. 2 to 3 bursts and poof! I have also had people with a TAC AR OSK me at long range also. Still trying to figure that one out. Do the advanced TAC ARs have the "auto" fire removed like the basic had fixed awhile back? Haven't used a TAC AR in awhile. Thanks!
