Ignoble Son 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 261	Posted - 2013.05.25 02:01:00 - [1] - Quote The numbers I ran are in comparison to the swam launcher with "effectiveness against shields" in mind. This is imprtant because the plasma cannon is supposed to be a viable weapon against shields. The std variants seem to be just about where they should be, considering that the swarm launchers have a lock on function: Std swarm Vs. shields: 924 (explosive: 70% damage Vs. shields) Std plasma cannon Vs shields: 1155 (hybrid: 110% damage Vs. shields) The adv and proto variants are off by quite a large margine however: From here on up it just starts to get dumb: Adv swarm: Vs. shields: 1,155 (explosive: 70% damage Vs. shields) Adv plasma cannon Vs shields: 1,212.75 (hybrid: 110% damage Vs. shields) This needs to be on par with the difference betwee the standard plasma cannon and swarm. ~ Proto swarm: Vs. shields: 1,386 (explosive: 70% damage Vs. shields) Proto plasma cannon Vs shields: 1,270.5 (hybrid: 110% damage Vs. shields) And this is just completely backwards. So, as I said, the plasma cannon definitely needs a damage buff. And they should definitely output more damage than the swarms considering that swarms have a lock on function. Alright CCP, get it done.
Wombat in combat Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 23	Posted - 2013.05.25 02:29:00 - [2] - Quote I played with the Plasma Cannon at FanFest (on a all lvl 5 character) and found it to be worthless compared to AV nades and Swarm Launchers. Your numbers confirm that. My main issue with the weapon was the low damage output considering the long reload time and extremely limited clip size.
