MG would be still bad.

LBX would be still bad.

SRM would be still... not that good.

PPC is fine, no change needed.

Pulse Laser is uncreative, but a step in the right direction. so ok.

^the two birds with one stone approach

Pulse Lasers are likely getting an overhaul btw, not just CD .5 second tweaks.

PPC are a sniping weapon. The heat doesn't matter: cooldown is the key, we need at least 6 seconds cooldown time for PPC/ERPPC.

It means that you must carefully pick your shots and you are more vulnerable when someone is running circles around you.

For pulse lasers - lower the beam duration, not the recycle time. That will help them a lot more. I might also consider raising their range their normal laser counter-parts have.

Cooldown is also not a problem for snipers. Especially because of the heat, but also because snipers prefer moving in and out of cover and can afford a low DPS. All you risk doing is making the PPC useless for purposes other than sniping.

PPC a sniping weapon? So direct fire support now goes as sniping? Don't think so...

The latest nerf to the PPC cut off on the wrong end. DFS players ( in your terms probably "PPC brawlers"...) have been nerfed instead of boaters. DPS Builds have gone from average to ******* bad because of all that alphastrikeing that occured lately.

To fix this issue, there has to be done something about boating.

The other changes: I don't use MG's (in my opinion anti - infantry weapon) and LBX (Ac20 just excels it in everything). PL need certainly a buff. For the SRM's .. Well I don't know if 2 is already too much again. Probably worth a shot, but right now they are clearly too weak.

Let me correct my sentence: PPC/ERPPC should not be the best brawling weapon.

Agreed. A MPL with a duration of .25 seconds is a whole lot more interesting.
