For some reason the Viziam turns me into a 12 yr old kid with a foul mouth. The wow factor tends to rock the sky high level when you are on a roll, and damn the bastard that kills you out of the blue bringing it to a halt! I highly suggest getting sepc into the LR. I have a feeling that the game will soon be over run with Viziam freaks and the world will never be the same

Well, this is like the 10th thread so far on the laser and about 5th on the Viziam specifically. Knowing CCP, that holds enough ground for an immediate nerf to be implemented quickly and silently through another stealth patch. Good Job guys. |

Another topic had a great suggestion for balancing the LR: increase the base damage, but then only have the damage increase from sustained shots on target.
At the moment you can get around four kills in a single pull of a Viziam trigger, all because you can just cast the beam over a full squad like you're Kefka in FF6. |

I don't like nerfs so don't get me wrong ... but your logic is just wrong ....
A tank has to be called in, cost 500k to 2M ISK and is a huge ass target.

My build on a assault B series is roughly 130 k isk...and I have no where near as much armor as a tank. Lets look at it like this. It is the sp that is invested in which makes it powerfull.
Example: drop a tank that has been built by a person that has 1 million sp vs a person that has 6 million sp. Who is more likely to win? I like many others spec in assault with our sp and the LR falls under the light weapon.
Its the sp invested and how its invested that makes any weapon powerfull. |

It looks like with a viziam (thus LR skill LV 5) you don;t have to worry about overheating :D
And that actually answers my Q. That's def why it's better than an Elm. |

Well you could give them an enormous hitbox, introduce weapons that lock on to them, and make them massively more expensive. Just a few ideas. |

It overheats on me if I get carried away,though minimal management on this level will and does eliminate overheating. |

I once had a match where 8 people were using LR's, it was ridiculous especially since all the LR users (myself included) kept concentrating fire, i'm telling you you haven't seen how quickly someone can die until you watch someone get hit by 4 beams simultaneously . It was scary a heavy would step out of cover and be dead inside of 3 seconds. god knows the carnage a squad of viziams could unleash with good positioning.

The laser rifle also has two pretty significant weaknesses. Once you engage a target, everyone in that area knows where to find you and you attract a lot of attention. Also, once someone gets in your minimum range you become extremely vulnerable. Lastly this is not necessarily a weakness in general since it applies to all weapons but the AR, there are some maps that limit your placement to effectively engage targets, often leaving your flanks and rear exposed. |

As a dedicated LR user, I have to say that I'm not too interested in the Viziam, the ELM works perfectly for me, why? because LR's are the only weapon untouched by CCP, and months ago a dev in the IRC DUST channel hinted a possible tweak for the LR's in future updates (after a massive forum QQ thread flood about nerfing LR's) which means if CCP tweaks hardly or nerf the LR's totally (destroying the weapon just like they did with the missiles) it will be good to know (at least for me) that I only have LR ops lvl 3 instead of LR ops lvl 5, because having a weapon operations up to lvl 5 for a useless weapon... well, it's going to be a major waste of SP, without forgetting the massive ammount of rage that will generate in the forums, if CCP doesn't give us a nasty surprise in the future with the LR's, then I'll upgrade to get my Viziam.
But here's my question guys, what would you guys do if CCP tweaks hardly or nerf heavily the LR's? |

I was running around with my lazer when what do I hear? Another laser.... and then I notice lowratehitman kills with the viziam flying across the kill feed.
I joined him on the roof and had a blast crossing my streams with him. He got 25-0! If you ever want to see why a viziam is good, hang out on a roof with him. I'm sold. |

I don't get why the weapon does more damage the longer it is fired rather than the longer it is on target.
I can see the longer on target the greater the heat buildup on the target and the greater damage as a result. But the beam getting more powerful the longer it is fired doesn't make sense. If anything, a weapon that overheats gets less efficient as it heats up as the parts go past their rated specs.
It's possible CCP meant it to work the way, but it doesn't make sense. |

The reason it gives you that feeling is because it's overpowered, that's why everyone is starting to use them, they're realizing there's no point going up against someone with a laser rifle unless you can manage to catch them from behind. Seriously guys, you'd be mad if they nerfed this thing? It's a constant fire, 100% accurate, no wavering, spray and pray sniper rifle that also works moderately well at closer ranges and could probably drop a tank quicker than any forge gun with the right skills. I'm sorry, but when you've got a gun that you don't even really have to aim and you can drop me quicker than a chaingun at close range or the best sniper rifle out there, there's a problem. If you have a problem with a nerf, here's a suggestion, learn how to aim like the rest of the long rang shooters. |
