I have the viziam also and pro 1 or 2 and I still think its UNDERpowered. I had to fit 10% damage mod to go against a AR guy. The fact a AR can take you out in 2 seconds You cant wait for the laser to ramp up power.

The viziam is good but much too costly. You cant loose 3 of them per match.. a duvolle AR is 50k isk.. a Viz is about 80k isnt it... go figure.

Given your painting a HEY IM OVER HERE line across the map with a laser beam your instantly a target.. sooo... lasers need a bit more power and some sort of help. Id rather the power be high at first and fade down as it gets hot. Technically a laser gun like that would function with more power at first. Heat sinks really are required for lasers.. heat build up is a major issue. Most highpower lasers without proper water cooling can only be on for about 10 seconds. But even energy is fresh and powerful at first.. then you drain the battery a bit after a few shots.

The laser gets stronger the longer you fire, far exceeding the power of an assault rifle, no damage mod needed

I have been using the basic laser at laser skill 1, and I never overheat, ever. Has anyone else noticed that the overheat on these weapons is nearly pointless?

.....Why would you use the viziam laser rifle? Damn, STB is still as bad as when I actually played this game.

The Viziam is the prototype laser, and is excellent. The STB blurf I will just disregard.

The advanced is 80% less than the prototype, and works just as good.

Check the damage output, the prototype has the advantage.

That's a 5 damage difference, it isn't even noticeable.

I always thought LRs were supposed to be utter rubbish against armour but time and again my heavy suit is ripped to bits in seconds. Armour damage from LRs seems too high.
