Good thing the people wielding a Viziam LR are weak as ****. Most of the time.

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.

Wait until they have the Asault Sarum or Breach Khanid laser rifles.

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.

A viziam is ..... nuff said.

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.

You did pretty well (I actually watched the video) but you'd do 3 times better with a KB/M watching you play reminded me of trying to move 20 year old CCTV cameras around with a little inch long joystick, is it really the meta to run around in those **** weak tankless suits? its surprising the nubsnipers weren't one shotting you.

Damn... 1-3 ammo left in the clip of the viziam insta killed some one

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.

Eww..

And what about those Logi golden showers? Double EWW.

the gun is broken thats all there is about it. I could go laser riffle right now if i wanted too and use the viziam i would have no problem using three damage mods with the help of my proficiency levels, oh look i just took down over 400 shields in half a second by just pointing and the longer i keep it firing the more damage, and it barely has any recoil yaay. I know its a support weapon and they suck at close range but when it takes down all my 456 shields by just a fraction of a second now there is a problem.

Condescension, nice. Pick up any other weapon and try to specialize with it and tell me how your kill/death ratio fares. Sorry, don't really care how many skill points it took to get there, should still take some skill to use, and I'm pretty sure I could go in to a match blindfolded with a viziam or elm-7 and still come out ahead.
