There is no reason to use the flare gun over the reserve shooter at close range.
The shooter does similar damage, it's hitscan, has 4 shots and a switch to speed bonus. It's far more forgiving if you miss too.
Giving the pryo the reserve shooter was a mistake.

LnL was fine because it traded bonus damage for being punished for missing, now its the same except it does the same amount of damage on direct hit (on players) as the stock grenade launcher with a gimped ammo cap with a slight assist in trajectory/velocity that doesn't even make it worth it

>>334946908
It used to only have 3. They gave it another shot.
The thing needs to be split between the pryo and solider. You can't balance it around 2 classes with wildly different play styles.

Make it some sort of shotgun that has 4 shots, does 20% less damage regularly, but like 20% more on airblasted targets, give it 4 shots and no switch to bonus.

Also give the pryo back his fucking axestingsher. Even if they removed the switch to penalty it's still worthless.

Although I'm not so salty about the axtinguiser. I find better to use the melee slot as a "utility weapon", as the homewrecker or the Powerjack. Usually the secondary is just enough to pick the kill.

I seriously hope that instead of just lowering numbers, they actually address what makes Chaos Damage Conversion so overwhelmingly appealing in the first place.

Really, all they'd have to do is add Chaos Resist and Chaos Reflect Mapmods, maybe even a Chaos Reflect Mod for Rare Monsters, since they have Phys and Ele Reflect mods for them too. I'd say add a -Chaos Resistance Curse for consistancy with other damage types but there's already practically nothing that resists it so it would just undo the effects of the above.

The original plan was to do that super nerf to get it out of the game while they came up with a solution.

Nearly 4 years of GW2 should be enough to understand how good ANet are at keeping to a plan.

Wasn't McMillen, he was busy doing the ARG shit. Nicalis were the ones that fucked up the programming and then mocked the people who bought the game, despite shoddy programming.

Edmund's only fault was that he spent too much time setting the ARG up instead of watching over the time of, what seems like, literal babies on the Nicalis team. Is it any wonder they did a horrible Cave Story port to the 3DS? They're pretty much just Indie Gear Box.

I really love how they decided to make demoknights be able to arbitrarily remove debuffs every time they right click.

The assult rifles used to have really good accuracy and a really nice damage range, especially for the two AR's and CAR Rifles. Combine that with a really good ammo pool and ammo pick up rate and you've got yourself a nice DW viable gun. Not that OP, but it was what the majority of players used. However when we got the Crimefest weapons rebalance in 2015 assult rifles accuracy got nerfed to shit, to the point where most SMGs are more practical, and pistols had their damage buffed to an actually OP level. You can kill all nonspecials in one hit with most of the good pistols.

Weapon stats don't really matter on lower difficulties though. Pretty much anything but the first rifle you get can do the job on overkill if you've got well enough aim. On Deathwish however it's a different beast, and we went from having a pretty decent pool of weapons to "lol pistols" as our meta. at least rifles didn't get nerfed as hard as shotguns ;-;[/spoilers]

There is a difference between "making it completely worthless" and "it do what its suppose to do".

I have no idea why stuff keeps getting nerfed in games like Dark Souls.
Its a single player game, with additional multiplayer elements.
Or why something like Hearthstone even exist, when its heads on retarded from a balance standpoint.

That's a bad thing though, scouts are supposed to be demo's hard counter. TF2's problem is that they keep coming up with more and more weapons that completely neutralize a classes hard counter, for some fucking reason. Often they come at the expense of less utility for the team, which is shit, but even if they don't it's still a poor idea. You don't balance Rock Paper Scissors by making Rock stronger against Paper, that's just retarded.
