Why do you need to walk to the 100th floor by foot if there is an elevator? Why do you need to suppress the enemy if you could kill them right away?

Yep, I think I messed up HPS for HLs a bit, it doesn't take into account duration indeed, so they will be a bit better than stated in my numbers.
Anyway, HLs would never be similar to ERs, because they have -40% of range, the will never be too similar to pulses, because pulses have very short duration and weight a lot more. Consider HLs as an option, trade something to receive something. There is no need to reinvent the wheel for them, what is needed is some tweaks to their stats, duration & cooldown first of all.
If you really want contineous beam, there is a Bombast (someday in the game maybe) laser in lore, there are RACs in game already. That's not how HLs supposed to work and I really don't like the idea to stare at the opponents to do damage.

We do get that difference with trading options with changing from Pulse to ER and it just felt like trying to squash a brand new type of laser into a very narrow band to do something that's already possible instead of taking the opportunity to try something a little different.
Would have liked to have tried it out.
Anyway, will be interesting to see what is done.
Good discussion though.
