As it stands the laser rifle cause's more damage the longer the trigger is held down.

I would like to see it cause more damage the longer the beam is on target.

This would involve more skill so the multiplier might need to be larger. What do you think?

But how would this make sense( lore wise) the laser rifle get's increased damage as the heat out put increases the longer it's fired, how would it make sense that it only builds up extra damage when on a target.

It's hitting an energy shield?

I dunno, figured I'd throw it out there.

That actually works. That, to burn something, it would need to build up heat on that particular object, not the beam itself.

but the laser beams are beams of energy, growing in intensity as the output lattice heats up, untill the trigger is released or the [painful] emergency vent keeps the gun from melting in your hands.

meaning... just because it takes time for heat transfer, that time shrinks the hotter one thing is than another. it would still hurt regardless

The suggestion benefits skill over just heating up the weapon and doing random swipes. Though I think that there should be a tad room for error between going off target and back on given the terrain and opposing player movement. A buffer of a second or so before the damage starts going back down again.

What matters is what is best for the game and those playing it.
