Alina Heart DIOS EX. Top Men. 314	Posted - 2013.07.07 07:33:00 - [1] - Quote My Suit Amarr Medium frame AK.0 225 Shield 225 Armor Overheating the laser rifle nets yourself 225 Feedback Damage I went 15-2, guess how I got my 2 deaths? Why in God's name is the Laser Rifle so bad? The Iron Sights make it nigh impossible to use long range? Who's idea was it to change the sights we had in chromosome to Iron sights in Uprising, Last time I checked long range weapons had scopes and short range weapons had Iron sights, if this isn't how things work XXXX years in the future then let us know.... But CCP Please reduce this feedback damage, it's absurd. I mean overheating is already a huge punishment by itself without being able to run, shoot, or melee while your weapon cools down but 225 HP loss is enough alone to make the weapon not worth using.

YAY respect points for your tripled. I want to go back to lasering it was entertaining and role only some players could fill.
BARDAS DUST University Ivy League 47	Posted - 2013.07.07 08:19:00 - [7] - Quote Yup. Tried out a few of my 50 free copies of the Burnstalk Laser Rifle with my Scout and it was pretty bad. The feedback damage I agree is terrible and was pretty much responsible for my death a couple of times.

What I learned is to just switch weapons when the heat build up gets high If you engage from a distance you should be able to drop their shields by the time they get into good SMG range
Aesiron Kor-Azor Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 261	Posted - 2013.07.07 08:25:00 - [9] - Quote It is only good if you spec fully into it. You cannot do well with it without dedicating an odd 800,000 SP into it.
Aero Yassavi PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 158	Posted - 2013.07.07 08:37:00 - [10] - Quote I use the Laser Rifle all the time in my Commando fit and can aim just fine at it's optimal and effective ranges.

Tried it before the respec and had laser operations 5 and proficiency 5 and my opinion of it is its useless. In fact I rather have the minmatar laser version thats a machete and a flashlight taped together. And wheres my Minmatar webiffiers aka beartraps?? But for real just waiting for November and looking at my PS4 pre-order slip.

Echoist Fenrir's Wolves RUST415 18	Posted - 2013.07.07 09:24:00 - [13] - Quote The laser really isn't like most weapons where you can just pick it up and instantly know how to use it cough AR cough. it takes some time to get used to the weapon and know when you should engage the enemy or let your squad mates take their attention first. Its why i prefer to use the precision mods over more defense or damage just so i know what my situation is before i start firing. Besides after a while you won't need to keep an eye on the heat build up bar on the side of the screen cause you'll just subconsciously count down with out really knowing you are.
DJINN leukoplast Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 560	Posted - 2013.07.07 09:28:00 - [14] - Quote Reason people think the LR is so bad is because nobody uses it. If nobody uses it, nobody gets killed by it. Therefor nobody even thinks twice about speccing into it. I was playing in a ambush match tonight and the ELM was melting me, and others, like crazy. My shields were dropping as fast as they did in Chromosome against a adv or proto LR. Plus that annoying and extremely loud noise it makes it enough to distract and disorient players. From what I've seen with the extremely few people that have speced into it, the LR is pretty decent. It's only a matter of time before it's the new FoTM, threads like this will certainly push more users to it. Then if enough people see players using it and doing well with it, the snowball reaction of it's use will exponentially grow. Then it will get nerfed

Apparently people who wanted to make a non-traditional weapon that is fun and requires some skill to use. Plus lasers.

Yes, you need a constant stream of bullets connecting your muzzle to your target, one bullet is not enough Think about what you say before you say it, snark only works if its accurate

Hell, the Chromosome basic laser rifle was golden. The basic one, mind you, the Viziam with damage mods was overpowered. Having a long range weapon requiring constant contact with the enemy isn't bad when you're actually able to keep track of the enemy.

Viktor Skirov Heag Enterprises 12	Posted - 2013.07.07 12:59:00 - [21] - Quote Last time I used the laser, I went 24 - 3 without overheating it, I died those 3 times because of a taxi My fits were Gallente Assault ADV STD Laser rifle Proto shield extender Enchanced damage mod x2 Basic armor plates Enchanced Armor repairer 400 Armor 226 Shields And that day even a squad of 3 proto calogi couldn't escape at time. The sight is annoying, and is bot helpful for long distances, but it you manage to control the overheat, and track the red chevron, that usually at long distances is literally inside of the head, it still useful, not like chromosome, and need some love, but it's killing capabilities still high.

You have to judge the weapon without taking into account the player's skill. Any Good Player can make any weapon effective if they truly wanted to.
