VS needs a Heavy Assualt Weapon

[Pyrrus]

We have been nerfed to the stone age. The lasher couldn't kill an infiltrator now. No respectable TR or NC would pick one up. Looks like its back to filling the lockers again with chainguns and jackhammers.

Waaah. The Lasher was overpowered.

Have you tried pie? Pie is nice.

alright I'm sorry if this is a flame but whatever. Stop being a fucking baby. The lasher still kicks ass. Sorry that we can't kill a fucking MAX with one clip anymore. The lasher is balanced now you little cry baby. Stop sucking at planetside or buy another game you little baby. Baby needs a ba-ba?

Well I haven't seen any VS using the lasher since the patch came out. I don't know if I just wasn't playing around people with the heavy assault cert or if it was really because it's not as powerfull anymore.

I always hear TR and VS talking about how cheap the Jackhammer is. I disagree with that beacause although the Jackhammer is very powerfull it can only be used at close range.

Also Harps the signature image you have doesn't show up. For your signature put and replace <thelink> with your link. And don't forget to type the http://. Sorry if that is not the reason your signature doesn't show up. Just trying to help cause I forgot to put the http:// once and then I went back and put it in and it worked.

I have personally seen the Lasher kick ass post patch, from both sides of the fence (as a Vanu, and against Vanu).

I just gotta laugh at all the people who recerted, and went jumping off the bandwagon to go back to their Jackhammer/ChainGun because the lasher was nerfed.

now i suppose all there is left on Vanu are the people who KNOW how to use the Lasher properly.

i think I will switch to Vanu, as everyone else is running away.

it's much moe fun being the underdog anyhow.

Always has been the way of TR since PS came out.

first off it took two clips, and it is pretty balanced now i have to agree. the lasher still sucks b/c of the accuracy. you have to be pretty damn skilled to freaky hit a guy 25 feet away from u with a lasher. although what we lack in the lasher with make up with mags and threshers. even after they made the thresher less agile last patch is can still mow you down.

/me yawns


lasher still works fine at close range, where heavy assault is generally the bast at.

Atleast you don't have to rely on the Decimator for AV. The Phoenix tickles Elmo.

Incorrect. The Jackhammer is most effective at close range. But I've had plenty of fire fights in the past where enough Jackhammer ammo wears me down.

This is hilarious, not quite as funny as some of the "Lasher n00bs" in game who still play like the Lasher is the left hand of God. Firing wildly at Vangaurds trying to take them down, trying to hit enemies cross court yard. The Lasher now does exactly what it is meant to, and probably better than any other Heavy Assault weapon. It clears out a base, and it clears it fast, and if you didnt know, thats what Heavy Assault is meant to do. Maybe now you will have to use a Lancer to take out vehicles. Heh, but thats just crazy, an Anti Vehicular weapon to take out vehicles.

/agree

It actually does fairly well at medium range, due to its large clip, complete lack of recoil providing extremely easy shooting while moving, and damage (damage isn't a lot, but it definitely adds up).

I find vanu AV being more effective on Infantry then anything else....
