Lancer NEEDS to be buffed.

why do you need tracking? you point, you pull the trigger(click the mouse) and the damage is dealt. It doesnt even have a projetile.

People think because of the trigger delay it needs tracking. I dissent, it's fine the way it is.

Lancer is fine the way it is. I still prefer my bolt driver, no matter what anybody says, but it's fine. The only problem ever had with it was the huge ammo cels for it. =P

The problem I have with the lancer is that its too inacurate, I mean, because it fires like a gun even when crouching, if the target is far away you can still miss, where as with the phoenix you can easily guide it to target and you get a bit of spalsh damage, for striker you can just keep a lock on or use dumbfire, I say make the cells smaller and make it mroe accurate then ill be happy

Ive seen countless occations where the lasher has been used to "spray & splash" people, hell, ive nicked one and used it myself !!, and GOOD GOD! was it easy to kill people with indoors.

Before the Lasher was so rightfully nerfed, every VS, his mother and her goat were sporting a Lasher, because it was so effective!.

The Dev's nerfed it for a good reason, and whineing about it now aint gonna get it Uber'ed. Its a damn good weapon and more than a match for TR & NC's Heavy guns. Every empires H weapon has its plus's and minus's:

VS Lasher: Slow orb speed.
NC JH: Only effective at short range.
TR MG: Cumbersom ? (you TR's out there tell me, ive used one breifly and found it quite effective, but not had much experiance in it).

JH shortrange? ive been blown out of the sky in my mosquito by jackhammers like 300 ft up in the air... tell me how a shotgun can do that? and the MCG... how can u say that its not a spray n prey gun like alot of you are claiming the lasher is? honestly

If the JH was 7m under you and using AP rounds then it would blow you out of the sky in 1 clip. 300ft up? how many times did he have to take a trip back to an equip terminal and get more ammo? Or did you have an entire zerg firing at you?

300 feet up ?, i sense a slight exageration!.

There can be serveral reasons for this:
1) You made up the whole "ive been blown out of the sky in my mosquito by jackhammers" thing.
2) Your the worst pilot PS has ever seen, get a different cert!.
3) You were not "300 feet up", more like 30 feet up, and even then, you were only finished-off by a JH, not drained by them.

The JH is only good for short range, although its maximum range is classified as medium. It can hit you at medium range, but it will do little damage.

I love my Lancer its time to target is absolutely incredible.

After you get past the warm-up time, the beam launches and is at your target within lower than a second.

And at extreme distances, you can sometimes get a second beam off before the first strikes.

This is invaluable when dealing with locked down Burster MAXes spamming flak at infantry wearing down their armor.

Frikin Supressor works way better. Or maybe if's just that I'm used to the Supressor.

You are just used to the Supressor, sir!

note *NC players are the ones telling me im wrong, maybe i am, maybe the guy was lucky, maybe its some sort of supernatural forcel... who knows
