Nerfhammered! Gauss cooldown increase from 5 seconds to 7. I don't care about the damage increase or heat increase. 40% cooldown increase is too much. Gauss is broken now. I can feel myself aging between volleys...


"With the reinforcing of the PPCs role, we wanted to apply similar changes to the Gauss Rifle, and help the Light Gauss Rifle to better compete in this space.

• Damage Increased to 17 (from 15)
  
• Heat Increased to 1.2 (from 1)
  
• Cooldown Increased to 7 (from 5)
  
• Health Increase to 12 (from 10)"

Technically 35% since there is 0.75s charge up. 20% more alpha damage for 11% less DPS

If you are using gauss as a long range poking weapon it seems its a buff need to test more

If you are poking in a way were you are giving them face time sure. If you are poking the right way you are not giving them face time

That's an oversimplification of the issue, and really only works if you have wall hack. If I have to explain it to you, then its really not worth arguing with you over it.

Haul down poking mechs that can fire with most of the mech in cover. Thanatos with high mount gauss would be what I mean. Or a mech with say two light gauss on side torso were you can stay most behind cover. So far when I use them like that it seems pretty good
