Well the next time I'm on dust I'll be making a chat channel for laser users only though we may be few we can still melt some mofos together. I'll call the channel Laser Squads |

*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. |

Lasers are fun.
The iron sights aren't fun, sometimes I just aim by the sound it makes when it hits the target. The sight really sucks when you're shooting a red behind a railing/fence, hard to hit the red and it seems like the railing is just blocking my glorious beam of hot awesomneness.
ADS is too slow to keep up with the target sometimes, don't really use hipfire with it.
Feedback damage on overheating is brutal.
AR dudes will laugh at you.
Sometimes I wonder why I find it fun and then I try my AR again and realize how boring they are.

Oh how I miss the LR. Again, all it needs now to be viable is the removal of the iron sights and a range buff over AR's. I am fine with the damage decrease. I always have been. |

Throw some complex damage mods on an armor tanked Amarr Assault and the thing is pretty good. Seriously considering skilling my alt into LR proficiency. |

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

I occasionally use the basic one - It really has been gimped and you can feel that in the way it works. Im not asking for the crazy zoom in we had before - but a decent sight or small magnification scope would be nice!
It does rip through shields and actually the ranges have been adjusted so I should try it now to see if I can out range tacs. (I could not before and I think it should) |

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. |

Mmmh are there any numbers on the Laser/AR range? Makes no sense to have a laser to defend an area when a AR dude can get close enough and shoot the crap out of you before you got a change to hurt him? |

I put heavy use...but the TAR murdered it. They could hip fire and smash your laser. Since this has been amended I think they could work...cept over heat does damage....weapons have better range and can shoot you back...it still shines a beacon asking for all snipers to kill you. It has way too many cons. I got a ton of assists but did not scare anyone. I even went into prof. 5
I also went adv laser suit. It is a shame because it was a really unique weapon.
IMHO...bring back old laser. Most protos are running around with 800 ehp now anyway. The old laser has a place in this game as it currently stands.
But I also think the old dropships and missiles do too. All this health needs weapons of mass destruction...poor new players. |

Unless you're going to go full Proto Amarr Assault and Level 5 prof in Laser Rifle, don't bother. You're also going to have to use 2 of your 3 high slots on complex damage mods or you WILL DO NO DAMAGE. I suggest kinetic catalyzers for your low slots to give you ultimate mobility to get into position to melt. I would also suggest Proto Cardiac Regulators, coupled with the Amarr suits already massive stamina, you can sprint for days with one Proto Cardiac Regulator.

Amarr suits aren't necessary i use the minmatar basic (advanced) and still destroy people with the laser rifle its just how you use the weapon and your positioning that really matters. That and your aim but thats another story :) |

Any new guys wanting to try the LR, don't take this guys advice. You will only be nerfing yourself by picking anything other than the Amarr Assault Suit. |

When it comes down to it how many people have died to a laser since uprising? I know I haven't
I could also count the number of laser users I've seen on both hands.
Surely they have to be looked at. |

Its actually great because I run proto Amarr assult with 3 complex dmg mods and get 10+KD every skirmish and domination, though it could be way better if the range was longer and with better sights |

Try running the commando. Laser+ AR. The difference is you eat there shields even faster with proto but your not eating armor like they used to(tank god). I started a new player just to try out this combo on a commando . Not enough sp yet to have it really work its best but this really does kill caldari logys with 650+ shields. YUM. It sucks not to move fast tho. |

Get out of those longs games and run ambush. I want to eat you!
That's a nice set up. You do about 24% extra damage with 3 on. I know with 2 damage mods on you do 17.25% extra damage. I don't know about how much a 3 will add. |
