Sorry I didnt get a chance to post this earlier, but newer HAR's will probably be better than older HAR's, owing to the crafting change. Also, if you compare a roughly even HAR and FT in terms of damage, your FT will signficantly outdamage your HAR (by something like 2-3 fold) owing to it getting a boost since the FT applies a DOT. I would have exact numbers, but have not had much time to log on lately.
no hell shot from what i understand they maybe actuly wors amaterafect all weps may be worse with new changes expacily the rebuplic blaster from what iv seen
see now your experment points matter on the qulity of the recorses you use were you had a fix amount befor i think use to be 10 (cant quit remaber ) so if you have recorses with 1000 qulity on the things you need you could posiply get more experment points then what you have now my +2 but most rcorses have really low stats like the stuf for rebuplice blasters the highest ive ever seen it is like 190 oq wich means makeing rebuplic blasters now you will have maybe 2 or 3 experment points so the stats on rebuplic blasters will really go down
and a few other weps will go down in stats to becous of this new stym only the best of the best recorses now will be abel to keep the same stats we have now on most are weps and armor
so get out there tonight and buy like all hells braking loos becous tommarow prenerf stuf will shoot up in price
I got a HAR on TC before the crafting changes went and after, and the new is faster (around 5.4 seconds) than the old one (around 6.2s). Damage was a little better with the new one also (dont have the exact numbers handy, but it was only abouat a 10-30 pt difference). You are correct in that crafting will now be more dependent on resource qualitity, but a master ws with good resources could make a more powerful weapon then before, not just HAR's, but all types of weapons. And yes there will be certain weapons that will probably suck for a while owing to crappy resources, but the HAR should be better somewhat, knock on wood.
I think the issue of greater concern is that unless you face a mob that is 75% heat resistant, you still have little reason to bust out the HAR.

Just caught this in today's (3/15)Test Center patch notes. I would buy a new HAR this week if you can:
"Crafting: Based on your feedback we are reverting out the crafting experimentation change. (The changes will be going to live with the publish but will be reverted on live later this week.)
Rate of experimentation will again be affected by the item attribute maximum
Attribute maximum will again be affected by the resource maximum"

the crafting changes will only be in effect for one day, tuesday. They are hot fixing it wednesday and taking it out due to all the protest and uproar over it. Since the crafting changes were built into what already got downloaded in to computers from the segments of the patch we got in the last few days they are using these method.
ditto.
You may want to ask your friendly neighborhood weaponsmith to make you one tommorrow, just to se what kind of changes, if any , occurs.
