General Derp?

Typically run damps and/or reds in my lows, shields in highs +1 precision. Personally prefer NK+CR over NK+SMG or NK+ Flaylock. REs for Skirm or Dom; Active Scanner for Ambush.

I don't have the SP to put into myos, saving for lazy gallogi 5 to do PC in and scanners, but I have another general question. How good is the SL-4 Assault Rail Rifle? I have ARR to 2, and for general purposes, should I take it to 4?

If I were wishing to discuss the Magsec's state as of right now, would the Barbershop be a good place, or should I post in GD or one of the other forums. (As you might as well call this a subforum.)

Depends on what you're looking for. The ARR is pretty good from the hip, and performs well in close-to-mid range combat. I find it to be less reliable than other Rifles down range due to significant kick when aiming-down-sights.

Gimme link!

In my case, it took Prof. 3 to become viable. It works best on a Forge Gunner Caldari Sentinel (full racial outfit FTW!)
Stick with allies and hopefully nag the kill in suppression fire, or defend yourself against scout ambushes. The range on the Magsec vs Minmatar SMG has really stood out, on a positive note. It has AR range.



SL-4 is pretty good, but Op. 5 and >Prof. 2 makes it stand out.

It doesn't have vanilla RR range in ADS, but I've made some kills at a speed I thought impossible at great distances. Op. 5 kick reduction allows more shots fired in ADS before kick kicks in.

Story Time!

Fox picks up a post-patch (and broken) Burst HMG, notices he's wrecking face with it at minimal effort and wonders ... is this a problem? He looks around and notices that a high percentage of other mercs are also wrecking face with Burst HMGs. Fox proceeds to the Forums to note his observations and concerns, propose nerfs (if deemed necessary), and recommends that performance be watched very closely. He then sets out to engage his colleagues, 90% of whom are swearing up-and-down that the Burst HMG is working as intended and that everything is fine.

Kirk picks a post-patch (and broken) Breach AR, notices he's wrecking face with it at minimal effort and concludes ... I'm really good at Dust. He looks around and notices that a high percentage of other mercs are also wrecking face with Breach ARs. Kirk proceeds to the Forums, sees that people are complaining about a Gallente gun, and begins to defend it tooth-and-nail. When it becomes clear that the Breach AR is not fine, he rallies with other Team Gallente All-Stars to assure us that everything is in fact fine because reasons.

I can vouch for Sir Man Boy. He helps Cross tremendously and pretty much thanklessly as he remains anonymous in what he does for the community.

Also if you ever had a doubt, Aeon can just burn. All 5 thumbs down for CPM2.

Literally no respect left. And I do my very best to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Also, while I'm here, I did a thing.
Do you think it would be like mixing matter and anti-matter if I were to link it in GD?

Honestly I don't blame him for that one.

At the time, I had very similar problems. I logged on, had a 7v16 match, a 1v5 match, a 3v8 match, and then I gave up and left.

He tried for several matches getting all sorts of ridiculous situations like 5v16. Would you honestly fight in that situation?

True, my good Amarrian fellow, would you touch a CPM position with a ten foot pole?

just returning to the topic of the all-seeing logi

I said you have to fill it with ewar, that means all highs precisions , all lows range extenders.

@ Arkena, why is it such a horrible idea again?

Are half of these people considering running? Haerr? True?

While I am thinking about it, Myos idea:

I think if we combine a couple different ideas that have been thrown around about Myos, that we can address most of the problems.

Change the mechanic of jumping such that in order to get the full Myo jump, you had to press on jump for half a second (0.3 seconds?).

THEN increase the Stamina cost just for the Myo jump (but not the regular tap X jump).

This way, you don't have to worry about jumping over boxes when all you were trying to get over was a small ledge, plus you reduce the ability to abuse the new jumps with 4 or 5 in a row by the delay of the press, plus the extra cost for a full jump.

This is assuming that such a mechanic can be easily put in.

Charge jump?
Sounds like a good idea!
I have a faint recollection of it being talked about back when we could bunny hop endlessly, still it would be a good change to the jump mechanic since it would prevent instant moon jumps as a response to being shotgunned in the back.

Okay.

I've appropriately censored all the information though.

What an excellent way to have complete lack of context on that situation. You're just like Fox News! Congrats!

What I said in the beginning is that the weapon was fine for the most part and needed a range reduction. That or change the functionality completely and turn it into a Long range low DPS weapon similar to the Rail Rifle its supposed to mimick.

Also, likely before you were even playing this game The AR ruled the battlefield and I campaigned hard against appropriate nerfs, that was not the first time the Breach was OP and returning it back to useless is a tactic im tired of CCP implementing. Same with flaylocks and previous weapons.

I've seen what some of the guys have said about me in some of the Caldari chats and its quite funny how you guys perceived this incredibly warped view of me as the most evil guy in this game while its the exact over exaggerated hero effect on my side.

DUST 514 would make a great social study.

But I digress...
But please, go ahead and spread out of context information. You're such a tribute to your kind.
