Because it isn't. Lower DPS and % 80 damage to armor. Sure shield damage is nice but AR will kill you faster. No sidearm needed.

I would get the Carthum, but I have Duvolle with prof 3 :/

All you need is an advanced auto SCR and a prototype smg to own anyone. Tactic: Take down their shields with the SCR and insta kill them with the smg. Also, this works for most situations. SMG for heavies, SCR for Shield tankers, etc...
Just give it a try.

TIL: Scrambler rifles are overpowered and the new FOTM. 10/10 scrambler rifle users say so. CCP should put this on the nerf block for 1.4.

I use the SCR's faithfully.

Level V in SCR's and IV in Proficiency with I in reload speed and I in Ammo capacity.

I wreck people with them. The charge shot can one shot scouts and some assaults (if a headshot) and freaks other enemies out making them think they're being sniped.

Hit detection seems to be inconsistent with the scram as well as the slower ROF is inferior to the AR.

THEN WHY IS IT GETTING NERFED???

I believe he's referring to when they are planning to finally 'fix' the scr.

From what I heard ccp forgot to adjust its damage against armor since they intended it to only be mainly an anti shield weapon.

....F THEM

Heres what you need to know, theres two ways to play this game: Caldari suit with AR and shields or Caldari suit with AR and damage mods. Deciding to play outside of these roles guarantees an unenjoyable gaming experience. Unless you have a question or suggestion on how to make these roles doucheyer, please sit down and keep your mouth shut, htfu, and all that other nonsense.

Oh Recon.......you just wont give up will you. I mean I am all for you calling the weapon I use weaker than the AR but honestly I have all of the advantages vs the AR.

Every ASCR stat is either better than or equal to the AR.

Thats all fine and well, but when I can post better or equal scores with a barely skilled Exile as I can with a fully skilled Carthum Assault, theres something wrong dude. Just cause the "stats" are equal does not mean it performs as well, whether it be because of bugs or some other reason.

That has more to do with a bad playerbase than the weapon itself. I can post similar status with exile, prot AR, prot ASCR, SCR,

Good a place to ask it as any: how much does a charged shot amplify damage? Also, how many regular shots is the heat build up equivalent to, roughly?

Well most people don't have the amarr assault proto to effectively use the standard SCRs, so they don't use them, however even the assault variant can't touch a duvolle, its simply too difficult and unreliable against moving targets, ya it'll melt a target standing still or slow, but so will an AR. Mainly it comes down to SP cost for effectiveness:
The SCR needs proficiencys, an amarr assault dropsuit, and damage mods to perform really well and in only certain situations, whereas the duvolle, can be used as is, yet shines in a much larger variety of situations.

imho the ASCR is better than the AR... the only reason I havn't made the switch is the fact I have AR Proficiency 5

Because it isn't. Lower DPS and % 80 damage to armor. Sure shield damage is nice but AR will kill you faster. No sidearm needed.

Been playing around with the ScR and AScR. Fun to use weapons, but are nothing but kill assist farmers until you really invest in them. They need to do something about the AScR's muzzle flash, I think I almost had a seizure.

Don't use the scope. Strafe around the CalLogi and take out it's shields. Then switch to your smg while it's reloading.

It's kind of a meh weapon for me anyway. I'd rather wait for the combat rifle since the burst AR always fit my play style when the damn thing worked.

I don't use the ScR for 2 Reasons.

It OHs right as I'm about to drop someone, just cause the gun likes laughing at me

The Tact Has Longer Range.

Oh, and The Gun ends up mauling your arm off if your in a Firefight with it. That's coupled with the fact that it Locks the Gun Up makes it unusable in my Playstyle. Once Aiming is Patched, and HD is fixed, Shotgun/SMG combo for me!

Okay, but this is to those AR elitists. I know you guys are right.

The duvolle faces the same issue, hip fire is comeplete rng these days with a massive kick compared to the ASCR

Assault Scrambler Rifle dude... although they work equally effective for me, the fully auto one is more noob friendly. Try it out!

From what I hear, ADSing with the thing blinds you, and hip fire is ****, so it just seems less then desirable.

Personally I think the ASCR is better than the AR. The only reason I use the AR still is because I have proficiency level 5 invested into it.

The ASCR seems to have tighter hip fire spread (with no sharpshooter skill), far better scope, larger clip with more damage per bullet. The only down side is it is 50RPM slower than the AR which in all honesty I think is a strength because it is easier to control the kick and overall wastes a lot less rounds.

It does suck vs armor but for an assault plyer this is a non issue as a submachinegun side arm is all that is needed.
