5% per level to overheat would be nice. A 0.5 second reduction to a 2 second charge time isn't really that useful even for the charge variant.

That's about all though.

Not the only thread about this I guess. A heat build-up reduction skill would be great though.

The more I use the carthum assault variant... I feel like a 5% reduction to kick would really help, esp since the duvolle, at ARO5 feels like it has no kick compared to the carthum.

Charge time redux on semi auto and kick redux on auto variants... would really help.

Is it more "kick" or dispersion? I feel like the assault scramblers really toss shots all over in comparison to ARs.

The assault variant has a ton of dispersion too, but try to hold the assault SCR in one spot while firing... I've realized it's got a tn of kick, about as much as I had with ARO 0 and the exile.

I also support that we need a SCR sharpshooter skill too, otherwise AR will always be better, ESP with its higher optimal range.

I would've expected a "laser" weapon to be more accurate/longer range than a plasma to begin with. I dunno. I figured trying to get a topic to have them address the passive only impacting one variant was a cut and dry "Fix this" sort of premise - like the Flaylock Optimization skill reducing PG when Flaylocks aren't supposed to require any PG. If it seems like a straight problem, surely they'll address it, right?

I realize the "balance" arguments that get into range and dispersion attract more.. diverse opinions. I'd like it to have more range, a skill that reduces overheating, and less ridiculous dispersion. I'd hoped that a topic focused on what seems to be an obvious flaw would get that fixed if nothing else.

Fix it!

This is why the bonus should be per level and list ON THE WEAPON, so the same skill can boost different weapons differently.

I'd prefer heat, as that's stuck as an Amarr-specific trait at the moment, which seems limiting. I'd prefer a separate sharpshooter skill for dispersion.
