a increase in DMG is needed but only with consistant continous fire making the use vulnerable in short range engagements and balancing the weapon. We must not swing the pendulum from UP to OP

no, keep base DMG the same, just buff the damage over time

agreed. The LR takes way too long to kill someone. I say cap it at a reasonable amount of damage and have the LR get up to that pint much faster.

I started speccing back into LRs and it takes way to long to kill someone to be worth not being useful in close quarters.

I'll have a detailed feedback on my thoughts coming back to the weapon after my time in the desert.

No you attacked him while misreading his statement. Your belligerence hopefully won't blind you from recognizing your folly and apologizing. He essentially said it's not good enough of a killer to warrant the downsides of its known cqc ineptitude. SMH.

Why don't they make a variant for cqc. Would kinda make sense since its a laser and the further it goes the weaker the beam gets. Just my opinion though don't linch me lol.

Come on now. We all know the that the frequency of the modulation is set to resonate at long distance. Duh.

I am requesting an increase in the lazer rifle's dmg from 17 at all tiers to 20, 25, and 30 at the standard, advanced and prototype levels respectfully; In order to increase their effectiveness while not creating a balance issue.

-1 It was nerfed for a reason. Just give it better sights.

checked my copy log (program I made that has a picture of every site and page that I ever looked up for this exact reason), and there was no "not", which makes me correct, and he's trying to be slick, and he's not slick.

No you are trying to be slick instead of apologizing. If he'd changed it it would have an edited text in red. No text, you are simply wrong, and now you are trying to cover it up.

I even edited this post so you can see the red overhead. DOUBLE SMH.

I didn't know that it put red text in. Thought there was just a small message at the top of post. Either way it's not there, checked when he said he checked his "copy log." I would like to look into this program though as it could be useful, however I do not think I would use it primarily to argue on forums

Hm, I see it as red here, but on your post it lacks the red and does not link to the original post. Strange.

There are only three small things I would change: The sight, the brightness and thick of the beam and the skill bonus.
The LR is a long range weapon and should do the role of an LMG. But the sight is just crap. It covers most of the target and does barely zoom in. I recommend to swap the sight of SR and LR and give the iron sight a better zoom.
The beam is too bright and thick so it also covers a lot of the target.
It-¦s just an idea but ir would be nice to see the damage or heat status on the beam. You start with a "dark" beam and when the damage/heat increases it gets brighter. If it-¦s short to overheat it should be like it is at the moment.
Change the skill bonus of the Amarr Assault to -5% Cooldown Time of Energy weapons and give the LR the -5% Heat build up. This might be a bit off topic but a faster Cooldown suits better for an Assault and with the -5% Heat build up the laser rifle is useable on all suits not just the Amarr Assault.
