WTB a Heavy Gauss
WTB RACs for Clan mechs (which happen in 3069. Guess that's why PGI stopped the clock at 3067).
WTB Clan MRMs.

So you want a bunch of crappy weapons?????

WTB a UAC of any flavor that doesn't spazz fire half a dozen pellets every time it fires.

Who cares if it allows me to spam more volume of damage because they are lighter weapons to go with everything else that is lighter on Clan mechs that allow them to mount 4 UAC10s on a 100 tonner without being stupidly slow or fragile from the iXL to get any sort of comparison you would only have 3 UAC10s which means you lose 25% damage for a little bit of accuracy gain, saying the 3 UAC10s is better is not understanding why 4 UAC10s was strong during the era of the Dakka Kodiak.

You sure can, but you only make yourself look like a fool by doing so.

I actually don't have much complaint about the patch. It didn't break anything and buffed a few things that needed buffing. Anyone else feel like OP's rant was just nitpicking to be nitpicking because he has decided he doesn't like PGI?

Hmm. Not sure. Imho I think at least a couple of his concerns are legit gripes. I mean I don't care about em frankly because they are fairly incremental (a concept that nearly every past nerf pass failed to grasp) and I am still just happy that my stuff wasn't smashed to bits by the nerf hammer, but still some of the OP's complaints are valid.

Consider the loss of 5% velocity on the Assassin for example, I mean really, why bother? That 5% has nothing to do with why assassin is good. Or how about the Dragon? Yeah, the current trend of 3LPLs or 4LL/ERLL on the thing makes it not only viable but with its quirks (former) even better. But again, why bother hitting this mech, out of all mechs when it is by any reasonable approximation of reality not disproportionately affecting overall game outcomes because of those quirks. Leave it well enough alone. So at least in these two examples, while I think the OP is dramatically overreacting (and I appreciate that because it makes for a more enjoyable read and subsequent critique) I think some of his concerns are not the mere consequence of a "he doesn't like PGI" axe to grind.

None of those weapons are actually good though so you can continue asking for inferior weapons than you already have if you want but that isn't in your best interest.

The Dragon really didn't deserve the nerf bat- as far as I can tell, we didn't have swarms of players running OP laservomit builds on one, it didn't seem broken.

I DO think what would have be a good idea is to run "on the edge" builds like this as Trials, increasing their exposure to the playerbase and getting lots of play data from T5 tater to tryhard T1. If it proves to be OP, you now have a wealth of player experience to back that up.
