It's unbalanced. It is just as effective against armour as it is against shield which shouldn't be the case.
I understand that laser rifles are rubbish up close but that's what a sidearm is for, and it kills that fast, it seems you shouldn't even worry about CQC encounters.
Have you used a laser rifle before? I def can see the damage difference between the shields and armor.
What's the issue and why do people cry about this all the time saying it eats my armor to fast? Its because your shield tanking, the exact thing an LR is made to eat
But but it kills my heavy just as fast.
Well kid, cuz the heavy is fat, easy to keep the LR on with no problem, before I "insta" pwn a heavy I'm at full heat build giving me great alpha.
Also you have to think current heavys are Amarr, some ships usually t2 or capitals have weird resistance, i.e the amarr heavy might actually have a bigger em hole, while the gallante has good em armor resistance but crappy thermal resistance.
The problem is we just don't know, we don't know the resists, we don't know like as is in eve if the bigger the suit the bigger the sig radius therefore taking more damage while smaller sigs would take less. |

I used it before the wipe and it actually wasn't bad. Obviously wasn't killing people left and right but I got a few kills easily enough.
I don't see a problem with it melting shields it's what it's made for. But it shouldn't melt 600 odd armor on a heavy just as easy even if the heavy is slow, it isn't what the weapon is made to do.
Does what it's supposed to do with extreme effect and also does the opposite of what it's supposed to with extreme effect = unbalanced. |

You missed the part of my post about resistance, we know everything has different resists.
What we don't know is current resistance, like I said for all we know, the amarr heavy has a weak em resistance.
When I shoot a minmatar logistics suit, the armor actually takes longer to burn then a heavy. This isn't a balance problem this is a lack of Dev giving knowledge or resistance stats on suits.
It could also have something to do with signature radius, i.e with 1 clip I can take a drop ships shields to half with my viziam, but it takes longer on an LAV. |

I admit this weapon is pretty powerful. But I dont kill players just as the first to post stated. Takes me awhile. Mind you I am playing from Aus so i gotta consider lag =) |

I'm not a PGM in DUST 514, but i'm not a beginner at all, but i've generally see a lot of guys kills me fastly with the first Laser Rifle (maybe in 2-3 seconds, sometimes less), because they have kills me too fastly than i can't take cover, and i've a friend who have testing this weapon and he loved it because he can killed a lot of peoples with this LR (he have agree, like me or other friends, than this weapon is too powerfull).
I know, and i agree than this weapon must stay powerfull against shields or at more range than Assault Rifle, but i think that shame this weapon is more powerfull than an HMG against infantry armor (a standard LR can kill me faster at long range than a standard HMG at closer distance, it's just crazy).
And i smile when i see some peoples here who makes apologize of LR, because i've already see some of them used it, and have used it a lot of months before the last reset, and generally with an heavy dropsuit
PS : i think a weapon can be balancing for have interesting use without cheating use (we are in beta at all ) |
