I normally copy the XML itself into my spreadsheet which organises everything automatically, but I did some manual entry this time since these changes are such a hot topic this time around.

Keep in mind that the changes to cooldown values only affect "max DPS", or what might be called "burst DPS". It does not affect the sustained DPS which this table is not concerned with.

Nice work. Time to study those numbers.

Nice work, these numbers look kinda sad now.

For god's sake man, throw some iserror statements into your calculations. The DIV0s in Column D are killing me. Nice work though, really frustrating to see such large numbers for the medium lasers' nerf %.

[Judah Malganis]

Medium pulse lasers will be especially bad after the patch. Small pulses out-DPS all other smalls and standard/ER mediums, which makes sense, and Large pulses provide to most DPS. Medium pulses do not out-DPS standard/ER larges, and in particular, the clan medium pulse does less DPS than the small pulse. Clan micro pulses also out-DPS the ER smalls, so I'm not sure what the disconnect is with the medium pulses.

If you look at the overall progression in the sheet, it seems like they've singled out mediums and medium pulses and gone way out of their way to make them particularly inefficient. They've always been the filler for mechs with extra tonnage due to their slot/tonnage/weight efficiency but they seem to want to hammer on that hard.

Not to be a party pooper, but does this use the previous patch notes, or the amended ones after this post?

[Judah Malganis]

The previous ones, so I guess it's obsolete lol.

there is an update on the patch and it's nerfs out from paul ML are still getting hammered but seems the rest of the energy weapons are being left alone

Not as bad as prior, they were hit between 23 and 25% reductions in dps, now its 13%.

[Tarogato]

Whole thing is updated now.
