this is not a nerf laser thread. this is not a buff laser thread.
here's the deal. the lasers main skill reduces heat build up. the reqs are level 1 for laser, 3 for elm and 5 for viz.
lasers 20 ammo out of a clip at overheat
elms like 17?
and viziam is 13. or 12. it does weird stuff.
the proficiency.. lmao it reduces heat build up faster.
okay people.. that's completely useless. atm the heat clears fast enough where investing into that skill is completely pointless and a waste of skillpoints.
here's the deal tho.. unlike basically every other weapon in this game except the shotgun, the laser rifle doesn't get a damage bonus at proficiency- no don't get mad yet just keep reading im not asking for dmg at proff.. so.. because of this the momment you get your laser rifle you've basically got proff 5 as well compared to the other weapons.
on top of this, i'm almost positive that the actual laser rifle skill itself doesnt effect heat build up and theyre defaulted to being 5 already. i can go grab a regular laser rifle and test this out, my laser skills at 5. it leads me to believe the prof is at 5 as well, and that the basic lasers are running at 5... basically maxed out.
so.. to stop all the tears on this forum, why not change the profficiency skill.
remove a chunk of the damage the laser rifle recieves at overheat and distribute that to the profficiency skill. atm we're basically using prof 5 lasers as the damage bonus isn't there.. that's why they do a lot. if you take a ar with prof 3-4 and compare it to the laser rifle with no prof their damage is both extremley lethal to just about anyone.. but the laser doesnt need those skillpoints or specialization.
so yeah. take a chunk of the damage the laser does at overheat because thats where it kills, and distribute it to proficiency. at proficiency 5 have the damage on overheat be the same as what they are now for all the laser rifles. it requires much more dedication into the weapon to achieve the results, like all the other weapons.
my 2 cents. |

i mean.. nerfing them because some kids in militia and standard gear are crying is stupid, and the effects will be felt later when everyone starts moving to advanced and proto suits/weapons and upgrading their weapon proffs...
might as well make the laser require the same effort, right?
and i have no idea why people are saying lasers melt proto suits. my proto laser kills proto suits, sure, at its optimal.. but their proff'd geks and duvolles **** my suit just as hard if they start getting close. that's comparing the weapon to something at its level. |

The skill seems bugged atm yes. If it would ever get fixed the LR would be even deadlier since it would overheat at less than 10 energy packs left and that means more damage by continuous fire all the way from 100 to <10. |

yeah man if the skills were'nt maxed by default the laser would be a little bit to extreme. i'm pretty sure they're maxed.
i think the viz gets 500% near the very end of it's overheat before it damages you? elms like 280%? god only knows how much it'd be if that thing went any higher.. i'd probably come on these forums and call the thing op at that point.
they have to be maxed. |
