Well, I used to run lasers as my main build in Chromosome, but after the nerf, I stayed back from them a bit. However, recently I started experimenting with them and while at first it was a pretty bad time, after some practice, I was using just fine. And since a lot of those Caldari Logi n00bs have never even seen a laser rifle before, it took them by surprise. The only issue I have with them now is that there is literally no difference damage wise between the STD and PRO laser rifles, making it not worth it to go proto. And a long-ish range precision weapon really should have the option for a dot scope or something along those lines. Are there any other laser bros out there or am I the only one left? |

I seem to be doing fine. Uses up a lot of ammo this build to get a kill, but ammo is free. How were you using it? Were you far off or trying to assault fools because assaulting with a laser does not beget wins. |

Well damn nevermind. That was better than I did. Well, I'm sticking with it, and if it ticks me off, I can always just use my HMG for a while to cool down. Don't worry, it'll be buffed eventually in some form. |

plus if you want to capitalize on its damage from reduced overheat and stack damage mods you have to use an amarr assault suit.. and its 3/3 with split tank. i dont.. anyways.
Skills, man, skills. I really don't agree with the iron sights, but as we all know CCP loves its sledghammers. Laser does freak out noobies, though. It's hilarious. But seriously, Lasers will have their day once again some day. |

Only slightly. They needed a slight tweek in damage. (Viziam did about 19 and some odd decimal) But you know CCP. They sledghammered it. (PRO has same attack as STD? Seriously?) But they said they'd start focusing on balancing so maybe the LR will return to its former glory. |

FIRST TESTDUMMY wrote:When the respec came around with Uprising, I skilled straight into proto damage mods and the LR. I died a little inside when I realized that I was being out-ranged by ARs. In addition, the sights, damage, and overheating repercussions gave me hypertension. On May 25, I skilled right back into my HMG Heavy when I got my next respec.
Now, I want another respec because it seems I keep making bad decisions... or rather, CCP keeps screwing things up for me.
That's why you just don't get respecs. My main is mainly heavy and has been since the start of uprising, but I'll put skills into light and LR's because I've already got proto and don't care about sentinel. But really changes happen so often that it's not worth respeccing because the thing you thought was bad will be good again one day, and it'll be bad again after that. Everything in this game is on a cycle of nerf and buff and you just have to soldier through the changes. If everything you held dear in Chromosome took a huge nerf like me, well, I just had to HTFU and deal with it because things will change in my direction one day again. |

*Bump* there are some really good suggestions. I mean, for a weapon that is supposed to be longer ranged than a Tac AR, shouldn't it at least have a proper scope? Iron sights kill the ability to even see your target at optimal range. Next time I'm on, I'll join Laser Squads, though I like the name Laser Pointer better. |

I really hope the Amarr Scout has heat reduction. Now that I could get into... |

You know what? After reading the threads the only two things that need to be fixed about the Laser Rifles are A) A better scope. Seems to be a general concensus on that, and B) Lesser overheat damage. **** does more than damage than most guns. |
