Sinboto Simmons SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 269	Posted - 2013.06.28 20:34:00 - [1] - Quote 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
Viktor Skirov Heag Enterprises 8	Posted - 2013.06.28 22:15:00 - [2] - Quote I use the plasma cannon too, and I believe it deserves some love from the Gallentean (I mean CCP bit. You know, it is a gall weapon) like, removing the need to charge before shot, or make it progressive, so you can have a charge ready to shot when you push fire again, adding 2+ plasma rounds on it and giving it more ammo, like a 3/9 or 3/12 (5/15 in officer would be awesome) increasing the projectile speed and eliminate the arc. And yes, the obvious damage increase is required, some people says that it will only make it op, because it will be to effective against infantry, now I ask, have anyone saw a suit tanking a direct impact of the plasma cannon?. The splash damage should be a little increased, but most suit should be able to tank it. But, something must be done to not make it the new mass driver, something like adding the stats I sayd, but increasing a little the reload speed, like 3 seconds more and slow ROF.

I wish the old Mass Driver would become the new Mass Driver.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1819	Posted - 2013.06.29 02:00:00 - [4] - Quote IMO, the worst part about it is that for a little bit after firing, you can't sprint or switch weapons.

Doshneil Antaro SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 73	Posted - 2013.06.30 16:48:00 - [7] - Quote IMO, after this gets some much needed love this would be perfect for the commando suit. This + swarm= awesome dual av?

Sinboto Simmons SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 307	Posted - 2013.06.30 16:54:00 - [9] - Quote Also commandos can't use heavy weapons correct?
ZDub 303 TeamPlayers EoN. 532	Posted - 2013.06.30 16:54:00 - [10] - Quote If its intended to be an av weapon.. Wouldn't zero splash plus high alpha make it what it's intended to be?

The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 492	Posted - 2013.06.30 19:39:00 - [12] - Quote Advanced has something like 1100 damage. That is plenty for direct damage. The spool up time and speed of the of the projectile makes it difficult to use. 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.
ugg reset Molon Labe. League of Infamy 284	Posted - 2013.06.30 19:56:00 - [13] - Quote The Comando suite may make this weapon more viable. At level 5 you get a 25% cut to reload time. added with RR and the fact that you can switch to another Light weapon I'd say the next expanction will be good for the PL.

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

I've been on but it's been earlier morning then late night to avoid the heat of the day. Both weapon slots for the commando are light weapon slots btw.
Skipper Jones Red Star. EoN. 194	Posted - 2013.07.01 04:38:00 - [16] - Quote It is very fun! I actually have an Alt the only uses Plasma Cannons. It's so satisfying to kill somebody with the worst weapon in the game.

Wouldn't zero splash plus high alpha make it what it's intended to be? It isn't a AV weapon, nor is it intended to be. Look at the stats, then look the desc. then think about it. let sink in. Yea, not AV weapon. Peace, Aizen

If you got a somewhat hidden elevated position, get up there, and they would be so confused it'll be ridiculous.
