Someone else said PGI is just giving us different flavours of crap and asking which one tastes better. I agree. Longer burn duration is fine, but not to this extreme.

And in particular, for the love of whatever god you pray to, STOP DERPING AROUND WITH THE ER MED LASER, PLEASE.
What in hell is the logic of reducing the range to barely 10 meters more than the IS version? ER? ER my a*s. At this rate just go ahead and give us regular lasers for clans, lower damage, lower range, lower heat and recycle times and forget about any kind of ER "balance".

Oh and I don't use Gauss almost at all, but it bothers me that you still kept the shake even if it does nothing to alleviate your supposed boogieman of 94 damage. You are going to ninja it into the live version aren't you? And then say it received "majority of positive feedback" or something like that.

To be fair to PGI for once the "ER" is in relation to the IS STD laser which has a range of 270m
Compared to that the "ER" with 370m is still valid.
The clan ER is not the ER version of the IS ER (wow so many ER).

That said I am totally on board with not nerfing the CERML to 370m.

I didn't try to imply that. I was saying that for all the downsides clan meds have, a measly 10 meter advantage over the IS counterpart is laughable.

Yes and I totally agree on that! It still qualifies as an ER with that range though

CERML is really bad now with the duration. Would rather put IS ERML on my clan mechs at this point if we ever went mix tech.

the only real problem with clan er medium lasers is you get free synergy with lpl/hll. they all need to be in the same gh group. thats about it. also 60+ laser alphas bother me more than 90+ gauss+energy alphas because gauss+energy alphas are hard to use and should come with some benefit. i wasnt even really against the gauss+ppc meta from before it was nerfed.

That would not be a bad idea actually. Or make gauss impossible to shoot along other weapons. I mean we already have a hard arbitrary limit of 2 gauss per salvo, another one wouldn't hurt that much I guess.
