Since the LR is really a Amarr beam laser it should have much much better range, and with this range should come a new sight. A scope or holographic site would be ideal. The fact that A. it needs to ramp up to do its dmg and B. if your not carefull it will blow up in your face justifies either a dmg buff or removing/shorting the ramp up time. I for one would rather have a Mega Pulse rifle tho :)

Sights are the biggest issue. I wanna know how many problems will be solved by the sights being improved. Don't remove the glow, either. Reduce it. I don't know about damage, right now. Hard to properly say until the sights are properly addressed. Same with the TAR. The damage should be fine. 17 instead of the 15 is normally was.



Woefully bad idea. Weapon diversity is one of Dust's major issues. Making it a differently skinned AR would be pointless. The mechanic works. The sights need addressing before anything else.

I want to know how many of the lasers issues will be solved by better sights and the TAR not being insanely OP. When those 2 things happen, we will know what works and what doesn't. Right now, it's looked at purely as a countermeasure for something that is broken.

Hey bien merci Laurent, je suis content de savoir qu'un membre du CPM soit d'accord que le laser a besoin d'ajustements. Je vais continuer en anglais.

I cannot completely agree with what you've said Laurent. Chromosome LR was OP for sure. I was using the standard LR at that time and was killing more people than with the Viziam with prof lvl 3 now. Of course, the SS was playing a major role in Chromosome.

Hopefully you'll be able to have a chat with CCP Remnant for this weapon...

I'll reiterate and modify some points I've made before.

• In my opinion, the damage increase should be based on the time that the beam is on the target rather than how long you fire it.

In relation to the second point, since this would mean "pre-firing" and "sweeping" would no longer be viable, it would significantly increase the skill ceiling of the weapon.

With that done, you could increase the damage buildup rate, but I would also recommend that they damage bonus have a falloff of half the buildup rate based on how long the beam is off the target.

This would provide a reward for a player with good strafing ability by allowing them to effectively combat a Laser Rifle user without fear of having the beam sweep across them at 90%+ heat and vaporize them instantly.
