The Gauss recoil is not "small". It is a clear and visible recoil. Also, after the animation for the recoil is over, the lasers will still fire at an angle away from the crosshairs for 0.5-1s longer.

Laser boating is pretty much dead. They run too hot with too little damage output now.

C-ERML generating more heat then they do damage is stupid. Bring the duration and heat down more on all clan lasers.

Ok, I played 10 matches in my favorite Clan Mechs and this is my feedback:

- Clan ERMLs are garbage, if you want to nerf them, just make them exactly the same as IS ERMLs or don't nerf them at all.

- Clan MPLs are garbage, firing even two at a time is way too much heat for the paltry amount of DPS they do.

- Clan ERLLs are actually decent on the PTS, probably why you see so many Deathstrikes boating them. And yes, Deathstrikes are MC only Hero Mechs, is this the real reason for these changes?

- Clan LPLs are useless on clan Lights or Mediums, but useable on Heavies and Assaults that can load up on heatsinks.

- Clan Heavy Large Lasers are good if you use one or two, pretty much the same as they were before.

- Clan Heavy Medium Lasers are a joke, why even have them? Too much heat, insane burn time and paltry damage.

* I did not spend enough time testing small lasers to provide adequate feedback, so I won't.

** I noticed that Clan ERPPCs only do 10 damage on the PTS, is this and unlisted Nerf, or a bug?

In closing: If I was actually a Clan Warrior and Chris was in the Scientist Caste designing the weapons, I would make sure that he was busted down to the Labor Caste and spending the rest of his days washing my Mechs.

They do that in Live as well... Nothing was changed.

Yes, I actually checked that out and you are correct, it is that way on the live servers as well. I guess they got Nerfed and I have not used them enough to notice.

Everything else that I said in my post is accurate though.

Played a few matches with my fav clan mechs and have to say that clan laser boating is definitly dead. All my builds are scrap now, will change to lrms for qp for the next quarter. Or better, just leave my clan mechs rotten in the hangar and only playing IS from now on. This nerf is ******** PGI. Why?

Played PTS yesterday. Tried with Laservomit Supernova SNV-B.

Build was 6 x CMPL + 2 x CERLL.

I don't know if it was the 4 vs 4 with assaults nature or what, but the mech completely dominated.

I solo-ed a Mad Cat and an Enforced almost point blank. I killed a Piranha. I cut a Direwolf in half, and had it bloodied before my teammates helped to bring it down.

First match I had 2 Solo kills and 3 KMDDs, with 500+ damage.

Go figure..

Couldn't help but notice you had equipped no cERML
