So after using them some the heat for damage is ok but the cooldown is stupid, being a second and a quarter longer CD than a basic/heavy or snub is just to much longer

yes, cooldown of LPPC in mech not quirked is simply insane. Heat and damage is OK, but 7.25 sec (higher cooldown of any PPCs) is utterly ridiculous.

Yeah... the PPC, Gauss and Mask changes should be reverted entirely. Try again. And next time don't nerf weapons that are already in a bad spot.

I keep seeing this argument, and its very much a strawman, because you cant pin point somebody's CT from across the map with a medium laser and *you know that*. Im pretty sure medium pulses are among the most tonnage efficient damage dealers in the game but you have to close the distance to use them.

What happens when someone is all over you in that 3xLppc wolfhound.. you cannot do squat and die that's what happens.. With mediums you can at least somewhat trade damage.

At this point, I hope they don't revert the LPPC changes. It got the highest proportional alpha increase and is now pretty tonnage efficient. Fun to boat or use as secondary weapons with ballistics.

i know im evil. it looked good at first but then i realized that lppcs have a minimum range. its kind of ok in a tradey situation though.

Awesome 8Q with LPPC before the Patch was fun... it was dozens of endless nonstop volley of LPPC (it wasnt Heat neutral but took about a minute for it to overheat). That looks impressive... Not Competitive at all but so much fun.

Tried playing around with LPPCs with the Uziel hero (it has a HSL quirk for LPPCs) with 4 LPPCs. The 7 damage really does shine when you can alpha all 4 for 50% heat. The 7 second cooldown though is rough. The Gulag changes just want to remove ghost heat in general and call it there. I think the 7 damage per LPPC outshines unlimited alpha potential here, but with the current CD, the Gulag changes would probably be better.

I believe what they are bringing to the test server tho does not get rid of the HSL for LPPC, or at least as was explained in Gulag PTS Topic, for BAlance purposes. They are looking to get rid of all minimums on PPC's tho.... which is gonna be fantastic for IS PPC's.
