How silly of me I forgot that the live granades coming out of my weapon weren't supposed to kill the infantry I was aiming at ,nor be a deterrent to move into an area for fear of said granades, or to bombard a large group of hostiles to weaken their force and kill a few in preparation for an ambush.
It exists only to make ar/sr kills easier and not to be a force on the battlefield.
Silly sinboto what was I thinking.
I guess I should just use an ar and fused granades like everyone else |

Why should I have to steal others kills? Why not be able to kill hostiles myself? Should I have to use another weapon if I shall want to be a force on the battlefield? |

Umm..kinda awkward cause you're all argumentative an stuff and I'm just here to tell you it is a super useful weapon. It's supportive it that it's an area denial weapon, with a couple nanohives at your feet you can effectively sustain a blockade at a choke point forever, grenades are unsustainable. You can lob shots onto building roofs to destroy uplinks, you can own murder taxi's. Dude flux/mass drivers can be amazing. Mr GlooGloo uses it and owns people 1v1 or even 1v3. flux massdriver, all of them dead. It's a viable weapon now and will be more useful still after the godlock pistol nerf destroys it's ability to lay down more dps than a mass driver. currently godlock beats out the mass driver cause dps and OP AoE damage.
My apologies I'm not angry at you.
It's just the constant telling of what I have to have to go be effective.
Flux
Nanohives
Be in a squadron
Steal kills
Aparently if I want to be effective on the battlefield I need to skill into/do these things or the prototype weapon I trained js useless.
What do I have to do to get 20/0 with ar=equip exile assault rifle
See where I'm going with this? |

Takes more room :P |

Its a SUPPORT gun. support for what? special explosion effects? If it does not kill what and how does it support? Is it a revival gun? does it should nanohives? How exactly does it support? Also its ridiculous that you should have to use special grenades to supplement just to make a gun worth using.

Mind you that the men/women yall keep mentioning are the best at what they do.
Balancing around the best leaves the average guy wanting yes?
Could you imagine if the ar was balanced around the best assault guys?
Sniper?
Sr?
Smg?
Yall would throw a fit
Just because a few are godlike with a weapon doesn't mean it's balanced |

Or if you'd like after I finish skilling hacking to 5 I'll get operation five and try my hand at killing you with it. I'm no great slayer, you'd proly own me right? Whoever wins get 25 mill isk to the best of 10 deaths.  No thanks, it's dangerous outside the MCC Aww...I promise you'd win if it was broken. The point of this thread was someone posted that they can't kill proto suits with it. I have no problem conceding that it may be suffering from a projectile problem I was unaware of that CCP recognizes, beyond that I don't see it as a broken weapon incapable of owning people.
I was frustrated when I mafe this thread yes,the fact remains that it is unbalanced.
Incapable of killing proto suits? No
A balanced weapon however it is not,doing well with it requires extra equipment something that should not be needed but should be there to make your job easier. |

Could you imagine if the ar was balanced around the best assault guys? Sniper? Sr? Smg? Yall would throw a fit Just because a few are godlike with a weapon doesn't mean it's balanced It is a difficult weapon to master due to arc and travel time so many believe it is more broke than it actually is, though it does have issues. I hope for his sake that they do improve it and he will be unstoppable, althought he already is close. Ps. Never said balance around best just that it is able to kill proto and is not a support weapon. It is about hitting your target not hitting them with the blast radious. Edit: if the sniper rifle was balanced around the average joe even the militia variant would one hit everyone.
Hitting your target with a mass driver is while not impossible difficult to do while moving, more so if the target is moving as well and let's be honest many don't even stop moving while hackin lol, for many this means ads fun time which makes you slower which to be honest is worse especially if you're a scout like my dumb self.
Also the sniper thing is true......so very true
Edit:I'm gonna go try this |

Me too......although i'm not sure if having another channel would kill my ps3 lol |
