Energy weapons suck. They lack something to be competitive. While I am ok with sticking to EM and TH damage, I can't see any real advantage they have. No ammo? Not true, the only usefull ammo on lasers is consumed when used. No travel time for projectiles? Very lousy argument, other guns don't have problems with this either. Cool looks? Since missiles got fixed I'm not sure this is a valid point. Oh, and instantaneous ammo switching... what a great thing that saved many lives in both pvp and pve!
I found out that I am much more effective with my Raven in L4s with most skills at 3 (LULZ!) than with my Apoc, with everything trained to lvl 5 skills. But my Raven can do missions anywhere, my apoc only in amarr space.
Lasers need some love for their incredible drawbacks which aren't countered by any serious pros. -10% to cap usage isn't love, it is a promise of "romantic evening" spend at the back seat of father's car when driving to pizza hut for family dinner. Sadly no rebalance for lasers is planned so I have no expectations on this field. |

As a matter of fact I didn't know about that, so thank you very much good sir, I am running to check that right away! Laser overhaul, that wasn't there since... well, years! |

The EM/Therm resits is an important point for pvp and pve..
PVP
- some ships mainly T2 can easily tank lasers due to high EM/Therm resistance and others can easily fit their ship to counter it .
PVE
- missions where laser ships can only do certain ones because of the resists i don't know why all NPC's aren't just omni tanked
because variety is better than homogenization. Npcs are supposed to be different. Wnat to fight NPC with different resistances? Change region!
You see? That is the problem. Every other race can change region. Amarr folks are the only one who can't do that. I love the idea of different approaches for each individual race, but right now amarr have too many drawbacks and nothing to counter them. Thsi is one of the major ones. |

WTF?! So you say that amarr ships that are extremely reliant on cap for weapons and utilities are even to those that only use cap for utilities? You, my good sir, are a hypocrite. |

At 40 km an abaddon or even the old armageddon is MASSIVELY more powerful than a maesltrom on damage projection! Nto a bit.. MASSIVELY!
And how is that relevant in any case in any discussion in any universe? Also, your statement is based on nothing. But hey, you tried :-)
Btw you still didn't cope with the idea that while many races actually rely on capacitor the amarr are getting the worst of it since they aren't capable to feed their own weapons, let alone another modules. |
