Thor Odinson42 Molon Labe. League of Infamy 418	Posted - 2013.06.22 00:20:00 - [1] - Quote As a MD user I've been pretty upset with its current state, but what about laser rifles? Honestly I don't think I've been killed with a laser rifle in this build. I'm not sure I've seen one on the kill feed in a month. Hard to believe it hasn't gotten a buff.
Spademan The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 99	Posted - 2013.06.22 00:21:00 - [2] - Quote Only time I've ever seen it was when my bro uses it, and he does very well with it, usually in the high ends of the scoreboard.

I heard that the viziam still works pretty well. I keep hearing that the iron sights suck.
Ploo-Koon Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 21	Posted - 2013.06.22 00:36:00 - [4] - Quote I'm one of the few keeping the faith. It's certainly not a weapon for all situations like the AR but used correctly it's still amazingly deadly or at least the Vizim still is. However, that pretty stream of death is like a magnet for AR fire.

Still a good gun with decent damage the broken aspect of it is the sights coupled with a blue glow that means I cannot tell where my lasers are going and even if I'm hitting my target....how can I suppress a target when my weapon is blinding me.

However, that pretty stream of death is like a magnet for AR fire. I almost got killed by a laser the other day. Was above on the four point reigning down fiery MD death, when a laser beam came outta no where from the redline. I almost shat myself. They seem to be good at range still. I also laughed at a guy, while in half armor, while he shot me from 10m... I killed him with my MD. Shouldn't have happened.
TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 1116	Posted - 2013.06.22 00:48:00 - [7] - Quote I have my alt using LR's. He's using standard Amarrian assault with some advanced damage mods and an ELM laser. It's not a bad weapon, it's just very situational. ... very... very... situational...
The dark cloud Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1524	Posted - 2013.06.22 00:50:00 - [8] - Quote Its useless in its current form. Typicall overnerf from CCP.

Yup it cannot be used the way it was before with the lower range, glare, and relatively faster heat build up. However on open maps it does come into its own....though the laser tracers only open you up to snipers.

You want a weapon that kills anything instantly in any situation. The laser rifle, even standard is decent when used within its parameters. Something many players fail to realize. People just want an insta-win weapon ("QQ what happened to the D. Tact threads" and before that the "QQ laser rifle doesn't kill in under 1.07 seconds threads")

Thor Odinson42 Molon Labe. League of Infamy 418	Posted - 2013.06.22 01:01:00 - [11] - Quote Well it was an over nerf. Or it would be used by more than 7 people. Similar to the MD, but the MD is more of a technical situation than a nerf. The nerf just magnified it.
Avallo Kantor DUST University Ivy League 88	Posted - 2013.06.22 01:05:00 - [12] - Quote I've been killed once by the weapon. Once. I might have been mad at the death, but the fact it was a LR made me pretty happy.

Tact threads" and before that the "QQ laser rifle doesn't kill in under 1.07 seconds threads") Yeah old laser aiming mechanics with this builds stats would be perfectly fine, slow tracking when shooting, faster heat build up and less damage that's all good....In all honesty the only issue was the Vizaim and that only really needed a damage nerf balanced out with slower heat build up. What kills the Laser now is the sight. Also comparing the Tac Rfile a weapon good at any range, with high RoF, and extreme shot for shot damage to one that can only be used at long range , with the capacity to overheat, lock down, and kill its user is a poor comparison indeed.
Provolonee Undefined Risk DARKSTAR ARMY 4	Posted - 2013.06.22 02:20:00 - [14] - Quote I'm forcing myself to use it again, never really cared for any other weapon. I often place near the top with it. Here is how: domination game mode: spawn dropship, place droplink in unreachable location,(like a rooftop) fly to next spot and place second uplink + ammo + remote explosives. Recall drop ship. Use it as a long range flux grenade. Strip sheild, reload, collect assist. (because getting a kill usually backfires) get sniped, repeat. As long as you are in a location that an AR user can't slowly waddle through your beam to you then your fine. best match so far is 6-1 with 32 assists. Let's recap: -must be day light because you can't see through the sights. -map must contain an unreachable location over seeing an objective/cru at exactly 80m -drop links + ammo + remote explosives otherwise no WP -team mates required to finish the kill -drop ship piloting abilitys required -no snipers on the field -laser perch has to be out of AR range -enemy's cannot be squaded or on comms. -use a logi suit, otherwise you will spend way to much time killing people with your smg. so it's a bit situational. There was a small thread in feedback on it. Maybe with a dev post saying new variants. I'll try and find it.
