Amarr hulls are the most diverse in EVE. They have high PG and CPU because of high PG and CPU needed on the guns. With very few damage bonuses, most being cap usage and refire, the Amarr hull can fit any of the 6 guns and be as effective as it is with lasers.
What starts out as a bonus, reduced CPU and PG for lasers could turn out to be a pigeon hole for Amarr. Making lasers forced to the hull when they then reduce PG and CPU to accommodate the new gun figures. While that is speculation and in truth, the only way to pigeon hole Amarr ships is to give them more laser dps bonus on their ships I never count anything out with CCP devs.
that's exactly what they're doing, Maller lost the cap use bonus and is getting a dmg bonus. And refire bonuses are still a DPS bonus so the omen is already stuck with lasers. The inferno punisher already got a dmg bonus too
I think the only ones left with a cap use bonus and no dmg bonus is the prophecy and apoc and the proph is becoming a drone boat I heard. No idea about apoc.... likely not to change much if at all.

Omen and Zealot were Laser platforms through and through. Apoc is a laser beast because of Optimals advantage but even the Abaddon can and does get artillery fits when people bring high EM resisted fleets. Amarr is the most over powered fleet for fleets in EVE. It just doesn't get used because it doesn't always provide kill mail data to prove its worth. As a survival fleet that's hard to kill, Amarr is top dog in EVE. You need a lot of variables at play to make it work though. Know your ship, know your corp, know what team work means and be willing to accept survival as victory, not killing the other guy.
but then the abby is missing out on a damage bonus, and thus maelstrom fleets were born
if everyone uses arty as a base on a maelstrom fleet all they gotta do is swap to fusion for exp, but when a high exp fleet comes along they just swap back to EMP or Phased plasma
