ELM useless? I used that weapon most of my life during last build and closed beta and I don't understand your point, I can go over 20 kills without problems using that weapon and my sharpshooter lvl 4 gives me a beastly range, as a dedicated LR user the ELM is a good choice if you can't afford going for the Viziam.

And before anyone ask yes, I have enough ISK to afford them and enough CPU to use it with several complex shield mods (using damage mods in a Viziam is overkill) BUT! everyone needs to remember the previous QQ threads about LR's during Closed Beta and the start of Open Beta... and I'm affraid to say that LR's are in the "to be tweaked/nerfed" list of CCP, so I suggest to skill up LR Operations to 5 under your own risk, because if CCP unleash the nerfhammer on the LR's... well, that day I'll be selling torches and forks for the angry mobs.

More bad advice. ^^^

The ELM offers NO damage bonus and allows you to burn 4 extra rounds before overheating the weapon (LR 80/100 before over heat - ELM 84/100 before over heat). Now if the passive on the ops skill was not broken this might be a good thing, however, that is simply not the case. The ELM is NOT worth the money.

Well that's your opinion, I'm comfortable with it and my KDR speaks by itself. I understand that the ops skill is broken yet the ELM is highly useful, you can see a difference from using a standart LR and the ELM. as I said it's my personal opinion on the weapon and don't forget about the nerfhammer, if CCP doesn't nerf the Viziam in future updates them I'll go for it, if they do then at least I know that my SP will be safe and ready to be used in other stuff.

I think one month ago, and I'm sure you guys are not going to be happy when CCP nerf the Viziam and I'm noticing that you guys are not reading the parts were I'm saying this. There was a massive complain about Laser Rifles and one dev in the IRC DUST channel hinted this: "we will take a look at them" meaning that either a major tweak is going to happen or they will use the nerfhammer without mercy (just the same thing that happened to Dropships and Missiles) now imagine this possible scenario: -"Instert the new build name here" changelog: *Viziam Laser Rifle: -Decreased Range -Decreased Damage -Increased Heat buildup time -Increased cooldown time If that happens, then what? so much for the prototype Laser Rifle and lots of ISK and SP will go down the drain, and I'm not saying that this will happen but it's a possibility... and also remember this, among all the weapons of the game, LR's are the only ones untouched by CCP... for now.
