And that my friend, is the reason why most commandos don't bother with the Acid Rifle. FT > AR

I love the Acid Rifle. It might not have the damage of the FT but I still use it all the time.

The problem is it does less damage, is much slower andhas the same AP rating (0) as the flamethrower. On top of that, it's specials have no DoT effects.


The only reason to use it is in the case of those rare creatures that have high Heat resists and lower (or no) Acid resists. And even then the FT DoT effect still amkes the FT a better choice many times.

There isn't a SINGLE reason right now to use the Acid Rifle except for hitting things weak against Acid. However, as pointed out, the FT DOT will more than make up for any weakness.


Again, yet another example of a poorly thought out weapon system. Sometimes I really wish the Devs that made professions... actually PLAYED the professions.


*sigh*

Why is it called a rifle when it has no range at all?

But I get the feeling they don't care.
