Spread reduction to lrm's with Los, and and srm's. It was 33%, but I believe that got nerfed. Not sure of the new value now.

I used it on most of my LRM mechs but just can't see why I would take it now. If I do end up dropping with artemis post nerf it will probably be just because i didn't update my build.

A nerf too far...

Wish we had RnR in game - twice the rearm bill for Artemis ammunition and no gain.

Oh yeah, heaven forbid PGI actually reduce the tonnage or the cost of the damn Artemis while stripping away 2/3 of it's bonuses entirely. That would make too much sense.

PGI is stubborn as a mule when it comes to opening up to balancing via weight/slot change. Shame.

The reduced lock box really nerfs mechs without forearm actuators (catapult, stalker). If you have an arm tag, it's a non issue. Put the red line on the red box. Arm tag also gives lock time bonuses so now it is much better than Artemis.

25% now. It makes a difference but not a real big one.
