I've adapted to the GLU-5, it's not what it once was but it can still get you kills as long as you keep the enemy at arms reach.
The Duvolle TAR needs something though. It's identical to the GLU-5 but does 4 HP more damage per shot for a price tag that's 4 times as large. |

We've been monitoring the TAR since the change. So far it is still one of the most used weapons with one of the highest kill counts. However it's no longer in a class of its own which is a good thing. We will keep an eye on it to see how things develop.
Thanks for the continued feedback!

Thanks Wolfman. Appreciate your communicating what's going on to us all, it really does make a difference.
Just my $0.02 on the Duvolle TAR. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I think DTAR has been relegated to PC battles only. The reason being I could never justify spending 4x the ISK for a proto variant that has only a very slight differentiation from advanced variant. Might be worth re-examining and perhaps upping the magazine size slightly (20+) to give people a more visible value proposition when compared to GLU-5. |

I disagree on your Duvolle TAR comment. Increasing the clip size was always a bad thing for the weapon scaling - No other weapon, to my knowledge, received a higher clip size than the previous tier. It widens the gulf between proto and advanced gear too much. Also, what's to stop us from increasing clip size in the Duvolle regular to 72? To increase the reward over using a Gek? 18 is a good clip size for both TARs. If you conserve your shots and aim, you will put down your targets just fine.
As another poster mentioned the DTAR will not kill any faster that the GLU5, making it vastly overpriced. The Duvolle AR does more damage per round and has a high RoF, both of which combined make a good argument for going proto. Has anyone done a DPS comparison? I Wagner the DAR offers much more bang for buck than the DTAR |
