Short answer, YES! And let me tell you why. Too all the "Amarr are fine" clueless pilots I have put a little something together. Now I am not a big fan of Eve-fitting my way onto the forums but I found this to be a bit interesting. I wanted to put different types of guns the Amarr ships that have laser cap usage bonus on them and compare the final results.
I am going to do two ships, one with and one without a second laser bonus. For this I chose the Prophecy (generally deemed a garbage Amarr ship) and the Harbinger (generally deemed a pretty good Amarr ship). So let's see. All skills set to lvl 5. No drones were used.
Autocannon Prophecy:
lows:
2 x MAR II
EANM II
800mm Rolled Tung plate
2 x Gyrostabs II
med:
10MN MWD II
Medium Electrochem injector
Stasis Web II
high:
6 x 425mm Autocannon II
rigs:
Ancil current
Projectile Burst Aerator (rof)
Final:
CPU - 392.5/437.5
Grid - 1738.18/1787.5
Tank - 194 DPS with 8729 armor HP
Cap - use = 51.3, regen = 48.1
DPS - 278
Blaster Prophecy:
lows:
2 x MAR II
EANM II
400mm Rolled Tung plate (had to reduce from Autocannons for fit)
2 x Mag Field Stabs II
med:
10MN MWD II
Medium Electrochem injector
Stasis Web II
high:
6 x Heavy Neutron Blaster II
rigs:
2 x Ancil current
Final:
CPU - 432.5/437.5
Grid - 1839.8/1966.25
Tank - 194 DPS with 7416 armor HP
Cap - use = 60.2, regen = 48.1
DPS - 372
Pulse Prophecy:
lows:
2 x MAR II
EANM II
400mm Rolled Tung plate (had to reduce from Autocannons for fit)
2 x Heat Sink II
med:
10MN MWD II
Medium Electrochem injector
Stasis Web II
high:
6 x Heavy Pulse Laser II
rigs:
2 x Ancil current
Final:
CPU - 432.5/437.5
Grid - 1942.4/1966.25
Tank - 194 DPS with 7416 armor HP
Cap - use = 61.1, regen = 48.1
DPS - 319
So as you can see for each of these setups I used only two rigs, albeit different for autocannons but I was trying to keep consistent on the number. I also used the largest guns for each type. While the autocannons did significantly less damage, they allowed for a slightly better tank (more armor HP) and the setup used significantly less cap. The blaster setup had the same tank as the pulse setup but used slightly less cap (for all intents and purposes the same) but did significantly more more damage.
Conclusion: Even with the cap usage bonus lasers use more cap that blasters and the blasters are better for tracking and DPS. Even with the MWD this ship would not be able to maintain the distance necessary for lasers to be effective. Now on to the Harby.
Autocannon Harb:
lows:
2 x MAR II
EANM II
800mm Rolled Tung plate
2 x Gyrostabs II
med:
10MN MWD II
Medium Electrochem injector
X5 Webber
high:
6 x 425mm Autocannon II
rigs:
Ancil current
Projectile Burst Aerator (rof)
Final:
CPU - 412.25/468.75
Grid - 1884.71/2062.5
Tank - 146 DPS with 9461 armor HP
Cap - use = 51.5, regen = 49.4
DPS - 325
Blaster Harb:
lows:
2 x MAR II
EANM II
800mm Rolled Tung plate
2 x Mag Field Stabs II
med:
10MN MWD II
Medium Electrochem injector
X5 Webber
high:
6 x Heavy Neutron Blaster II
rigs:
2 x Ancil current
Final:
CPU - 464.75/468.75
Grid - 2201.6/2268.75
Tank - 146 DPS with 9461 armor HP
Cap - use = 61.9, regen = 49.4
DPS - 434
Pulse Harb:
lows:
2 x MAR II
EANM II
800mm Rolled Tung plate
2 x Heat Sink II
med:
10MN MWD II
Medium Electrochem injector
X5 Webber
high:
6 x Heavy Pulse Laser II
rigs:
3 x Ancil current
Final:
CPU - 464.75/468.75
Grid - 2321.3/2495.63
Tank - 146 DPS with 9461 armor HP
Cap - use = 62.9, regen = 49.4
DPS - 465
So the autocannons did significantly less damage but the setup also used significantly less cap. Pulse lasers, while requiring a third rig for grid because lasers are so grid hungry do just slightly better damage thatn blasters but require slightly more cap (basically the same).
So please guys, how are Amarr okay?

To be fair, you also have to look at the roles of those ships. The harbinger does much more damage with lasers, because it is bonused as such. The prophecy is a tank boat, and harbinger gank. You cannot just fit a general fitting on everything and expect all numbers to come out the same.
Now, I do agree that amarr need some love, I just think the way that you are proving this is a bit lacking.

All the Tier 1 BC's need some lubbinz'.
Goumindong has a really good essay in Game Dev called "A General Balance Treatise". I don't agree with everything in it, but it has some really good ideas, directions, and pointers.
But yeah... the Prophecy seems (to me) to be lacking even compared to the other Tier 1's... and the only Amarr cruiser that I think's worth a damn is the Arbitrator.
These are the only good T1 Amarrian ships that strike me off the top of my head:
Punisher, Arbitrator, (Maller), Harbinger, Geddon, Abaddon.
BUT, the "boost patch" said they'd "deal" with Amarr *somehow* .... let's hope they don't decide that Amarr needs a neutralizer nerf [Pilgrim, Curse].

I think you missed the point. I am not comparing the Proph to the Harb, I am comparing each of these ships individually with different turret types. What I showed was that using both projectiles or blasters (especially blasters) over lasers on Amarr ships can be better. Projectiles don't use cap and can possibly allow for better tank (less pg and cpu) and blasters do more dps and also use less pg.
If the Amarr are a colony of ants then CCP is that mean kid with the magnifying glass trying to set the ants on fire. |

I understand that, but the point I was trying to make is that the prophecy isnt doing damage because it is not bonused much, as it is a tanking ship. But yes, they need fixing.

Did you even read what I wrote. My point is that they are not fine. That these other turrets (in particular blasters) are better on Amarr ships than lasers.

You are right bud but think of it this way, while the other Tier 1 BC fall under the same philosophy they all have a useful gun bonus. So the point is that the suckiness of lasers forces the use of this stupid cap usage bonus making other weapons more desirable.

Uhm excuse me where you come off comparing a brutix to a prophecy? They are in so different leagues its not even funny. Whats wrong with the brutix? It ganks the crap out of anything its own size.
Also arbi sucks compared to a vexor.
Omen sucks compared to a thorax.
Amarr cruiser, bc line is utter crap.

The live dev blog made a mention of a "boost patch" ... but made no details but did say that "all of your balancing issues will be fixed" when talking about Amarr, AF's, module sizes, etc.
But if their idea of balancing Amarr is to nerf the Pilgrim and it's TD's.... I hesitate to see what their oomph is this time.

All races are using ships with up to 2-3 different weapon platforms. Amarr are the latest to hop-in this trend.
But the respected for PvP "uber" Gallente ships, used both drones n hybrid turrets, along with some of them that specialize in missiles!
Caldari also have "crap" (read meh) hybrid turret platforms, meh drone capabilities, and still get a very good PvP BS, the Rokh - probably the best long range Sniper (is there another kind?).
Minmatar are...neglected also...split weapon systems require huge SP investment in them for an average-to-good performance above the HAS/BS lvl. They are at least favored from the nano-craze...
At least Amarr got Khanid II in a few ships, and personally I'd love to see in some T1 ships. The Prophecy as a baby Damnation would be sweet. It's not that its that worse than the Ferox, is it? I was proud of my Prophecy back in these carebear months before the Harbi came  ...
All races can benefit from bonused capless weapon platforms. And Drones along with missiles offer a less demanding skill investment - at least up to cruiser class launchers. T2 SML or HAMs out of scratch are joke compared to a Raven pilot going for a Rokh! 
And it's not crap to cross train into projectiles if you have no missile hard points in you favorite ship...otherwise why would a Myrmidon with Proj be better than with blasters?
Why not the Sentinel, or the Proph, even the maller? Why not a Pilgrim?
Versatility is a good thing. Would you prefer your Maller to refuse to undock, cause it would be embarassed to be seen with those "infidel slave's" weapon? RP is nice man, but, com on...

Who in their right mind would sit in a harbinger if they could sit in a hurricane? No one, thats who. Fitting, cap, dps, damage types, slots, tank. Every goddamn thing is better on the hurricane. So yes allow me to dis harbinger, because either harb is balanced and hurricane op or hurricane is balanced and harb sucks.
Youre treating amarr like people that are used to 3 star meals and say "well now you got a 4star meal so be happy" and conveiniently forget about everyone else that gets a 5star meal.

When was the last time you tried to break a shield tank in a Hurricane? It doesn't even require a mediocre shield tank to make it damn hard to break... but that wonderful EM damage spewing Harbinger eats shield tanks alive!
-Liang
Ed: Besides, if even a single thing gets boosted towards lasers, the Harbinger will exceed the Hurricane in usefulness. The gap between the Tier 2 BC's is very very small.
AND WHAT THE DUCK WAS UP WITH THAT STUPID BRUTIX COMMENT?!!?

Dude you are talking about two different things. The other races can use multiple systems by design not because their weapons suck. The argument to say "oh you can use other turret types" is not an argument that Amarr ships are okay. It just shows how bad lasers suck.
If the Amarr are a colony of ants then CCP is that mean kid with the magnifying glass trying to set the ants on fire. |

The only problem I have with Amarr is the lack of an extra mid slot and damage types from crystals.
To these whine threads? I say get better skills and a better fit as I dont have an issue.
Not quite sure what else to tell you.

Who in their right mind would sit in a harbinger if they could sit in a hurricane? No one, thats who. Fitting, cap, dps, damage types, slots, tank. Every goddamn thing is better on the hurricane. So yes allow me to dis harbinger, because either harb is balanced and hurricane op or hurricane is balanced and harb sucks.
Youre treating amarr like people that are used to 3 star meals and say "well now you got a 4star meal so be happy" and conveiniently forget about everyone else that gets a 5star meal.
When was the last time you tried to break a shield tank in a Hurricane? It doesn't even require a mediocre shield tank to make it damn hard to break... but that wonderful EM damage spewing Harbinger eats shield tanks alive!

Ed: Besides, if even a single thing gets boosted towards lasers, the Harbinger will exceed the Hurricane in usefulness. The gap between the Tier 2 BC's is very very small.
AND WHAT THE DUCK WAS UP WITH THAT STUPID BRUTIX COMMENT?!!?
Brutix comment just as a vent and troll. I had a beer, its friday. Lets move on.
Yes a dps boost to harbinger would bring these two inline. Shield tank is no issue. Every hurricane carries republic fleet emp (or even normal does the trick) and a mwd. No big deal.

What "boost patch"?
The live dev blog made a mention of a "boost patch" ... but made no details but did say that "all of your balancing issues will be fixed" when talking about Amarr, AF's, module sizes, etc.
But if their idea of balancing Amarr is to nerf the Pilgrim and it's TD's.... I hesitate to see what their oomph is this time.

Yeah but how much of a DPS boost are you asking for? 50? 100? 200? 300? 400? 500? 600? 700? How much would make it "balanced" in your (ever so trollish) opinion?
Even if they boosted the Harbinger to "base" at 1500 DPS you'd still whine that it can't fit a full out tank and do it too. You're just as bad as those people that whine the passive drake sucks because it doesn't do 600 DPS and tank 1500 DPS at the same time!

I wish I did... just been collecting the information from the forums (slowly). I saw that in General Discussion somewhere...

I'm sorry I don't know who you are and your post is really pointless. Can you argue what I'm saying or does your brain not function that way?
Can I argue what you're saying?
Grammatical missteps aside, you're first line in the thread reveals you to be saying the same ranty thing as the EFT noobs and so on--none of what you're saying is new or particularly insightful. Give it a rest.

Good so you see the need for EVEN the harbinger needing a boost.
What do you think would cover the advantage of the hurricanes tanking, cap, dps, dmg type?
You do know what the problem is though. If you boost harb dps just by 50-100 it has absolution dps. hmmm you see how so many things are broken? (not nessesarily saying absolution is broken, but alot of related things.)

So basically you are running around in circles not really arguing against my post. So the answer is no then? BTW, the use of Evefit is so I have moderately accurate numbers.
