So got my respec today and since I was going shotty I desired t8 hit the plasma cannon as well I hade loads of fun using it even got a few kills but dispite this I found myself frowning from the overall effectiveness of the weapon.
In short :the plasma cannon is fun, but it's not useful
The plasma cannon has more then a few flaws
Low damage<<<<<
Low ammo count
Small clip size
Long reload time
Low slash radius
Slow projectile speed
While it's fun to shoot big balls of molten death and get a few kills along the way it's fustrating the use for very little gain it dosen't do nearly enough damage to call itself an av weapon and it's slow projectile speed and bare minimum clip size makes it difficult to use against infantry.
Definitely a weapon that deserves some tweaking |

Is that what that is, thought I was bugging or something |

If that's the price to pay to get it to actually be able to do av then I'm all for it |

The arc is also odd, it seems to be straight for a certain distance and then it falls off. It is very hard for me to get the path down.
Gonna have to disagree with you on the damage, the plasma cannon at adv level dose around 1138 (I think I'll check that later)comparing this to the std swarm launcher which dose 12000 damage and with a larger clip size/rof this is rather lacking in damage output the adv swarms do 1500 damage far outclassing the plasma cannon in damage, this is before damage mods.
The plasma cannon doesn't suffer from the shield decreases to explosives I believe so there is that advantage, still the damage it dose along with the sizable reload time makes it...I won't say unfit to be an av weapon, but certainly not the best choice in my opinion |
