soooo...... who else uses them?? I have the viziam laser rifle and it kinda melts people (for the most part) once it gets charged. Anyone here been on the receiving end of this? anyone else who actually uses it?? what do you guys think about them?? personally i think there OP, but thats probably cuz i go 25 and 3 with them most games....... (but then again there absolute garbidge at close range so i guess its sortaaaaa balanced???)

lasers rip shields at range
personally i dont find them OP, i use them and at 1st thought they were absolute crap till i got more disciplined keepin ppl at my optimal range.

this is the only fit that i actually use my SMG alot when i get forced into cqc

i dont get killed by laser users tbh, very rare...they do rip my shields but never get chance to really finish the kills since i understand how lasers work.

I think most ppl see it starts off doin little damage and laugh and think they got this then next 3secs all their shields gone and half their armor gone. Dont think most realise the damage ramps up alot over time and when a laser is on u its best to break its fire on u and force them into cqc if u can

shhhhhhhh dont let them all know our weaknesses!!! lol your right though, thats pretty much the exact same thing i thought. I started using laser rifles probably about a week after they became available and it took me about three matches to figure out what was up....... i gotta say, now that i know my weapon, its a TON more effective then what it used to be

I use laser rifles once in a while, they're pretty fun. Definitely the most distinctive weapon Dust 514 currently has.

At sharpshooter 7 they are even better.
Once you can use the advanced one always use that. Proto for special events or extra badass.

Laser rifle user here. I only have the advanced one, the ELM I believe. I really like how there is versatility between anti-infantry and anti-vehicle capabilities. Lasers can blap a clone in a second with a high enough charge at range but it takes an entire clip to kill a militia assault in CQC. And they can strip the shields of a shield tank in at least 2.5 clips. 1 clip if it's an armor tank.

The only thing that I'm wondering is if the overheat is working as intended? Because it's impossible to overheat the laser rifle with the advanced laser rifle.

First off, IDKittenK you names yourself Mitt Romney, Waste of a username brah e.e

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.

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.
