In Chromosome the lasor was a joy to use, i could put the beam on somebodys tear duct at max range, and hold it there while straffing. It was unique, my friends looking over my shoulder were allways "woah wtf is that gun, its Awesome!" It looked and sounded great using it. I speced into and out of it. (no wep past STD currently)
So after the recent Tac nerf I loaded up my Lazoring alt, to see if its better. It is better now that it has its niche back. I have prof level 4 and the viziam. Im using 2x complex dmg mods with it also. My best round with it so far is 8 kills and 30 assists. but most rounds are pretty poor. You need to be in the right place at the right time for it to be effective. I miss the gun alot and i do believe it needs a comeback for the image of Dust.
-The viziam in chromozone was OP towards the end of its cycle, I think the others were fine. I think even the damage and range currently are fine.
-I think the most important thing to remember was back in Chromo all we had were Caldari assault suits, This gun was the exact counter to shield tanking. It would make it appear OP because nobody had the choice to Armor tank. Even most heavys were in the type 2 suit. It was the counter to everybody, Now that more suits are in, not so much.
-I dont think you should nerf a weapon by blocking off a persons abilty to shoot. The sights along with the glare make it a spray and pray. It is at times impossible to even see the person you are shooting at. Im not sure why you even need iron sights on a gun that allready had a lasor sight. Hip fire sensitivity is to high, ADS is to low. (hip fire is also pretty pointless)
-The damage seems to be OK, Im not sure you should have to go all the way to Prof level 4 and stack dmg to be able to kill a suit in one magizine though. Wait and see IMO.
-It is no longer useable as an area denial tool, The heat build up is to quick to keep the lasor out for long enough to scare anybody.
-You cannot use the STD lasor on a MLT light frame, one over heat will blow your head off. on a standard frame you can live through 1, but your gonna be toast soon.
-It is still subject to the reload bug, (reload, cant shoot, melee, reload for real this time) happens 3-4 times a match for me.
-The beam its self, Cannot be seen while ADS, and it is to thin and not a solid line, So its less awesome. (i can live with it looking less awesome if it works)
-I did enjoy doing the pre heat and swipe move, It rewarded pre planning and skill. It made you feel all warm inside just holding down the button. It was a requirement to drop a Proto suit.
I know all of this stuff has been mentioned before. I think this game could use a bit more "Unique-Awesome", The lasor was unique to Dust. I have 10 mil SP in my charactors suit, and no SP in its weapon, i want my job back. Thanks CCP I know you will make it right.
