Still REALLY confused why two of the least used Clan weapons got punched in the junk so hard.

cERSL and cSPL were in no need of a nerf. In fact, I was hoping they'd get a slight range increase.

Well, I'm glad I just finished mastering all the Clan mechs

Everyone uses those because most other options are bad.

Don't worry, in about a week or two the queues will be filled with the least-bad options maximized as best as possible, and there will be people on the forum crying about that build, whatever it may be.

My point is the conspiracy theory that they are nerfing weapons based on what has become available for cbills is silly.

But yes, there will always be the next build to complain about.

Do we even have a single instance of this here?

In the next patch when they nerf CLRMs and tell us they listened to us and our feedback was right.
And some will praise them and document this as a change in course and PGIs willingness to listen to us!

• LRM Cooldown reduced to 3.5 ?????????????

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[Malleus011]

I'm somewhat concerned that these changes are meant to make the module system a mandatory part of regular play, as I think it's pretty horrible as it now stands; horrifically expensive for minuscule gains.

I seriously hope they don't do this for the upcoming cooldown modules as well...

It is a pre-emptive nerf, they are afraid we will all switch to Small Standard and Small Pulse lasers following the nerfs to everything else.

In order to maintain the status quo, where only Nova's and maybe a Kit Fox even remotely consider mounting small clan energy weapons - they needed to be nerfed.

I like the weapons modules. I am happy I can increase all srm range and especially the single small laser on my commando 2d. I was hoping they would go to level 10 stats modules. Those few extra yards make all the difference.

As stated the gains on modules was too small for the heat gain.

They removed the heat added it to the popular weapons lowered the range now making modules a no brainer

If you don't have them enjoy the heat tax

CLRM cooldown reduced, wat?

I've been seeing oodles of smalls on Direwolves lately. Don't think they need nerfed but they are being used.

Taking a weapon with ridiculously short range on a mech that can only move 54 kph is a pretty terrible idea.

Yet, it's being done. Perhaps they are coupled with some longer range ballistics?

@orcrist86 @TaylimTseng @BishopSteiner yah that's fine but it looks like a screw up on our end in transferring our new numbers into pts

Changes to pts numbers incoming I bet
