We just went over the numbers one more time, and concluded (again) that 3000 damage per shot is just not supportable. We're still inclined to make the change, and are having trouble figuring out why people say that it is class-ruining given the above.

If you take a look at a screenshot I've posted, you'll see that 4890 damage shots are possible with a mediocre laser rifle, and I regularly hit for 3000+, these are pure rolls.. before AR multipliers are added in. (as far as I know).. and to add to this, Carbine (though less often) can often break the 3k per shot barrier too.

Yeah, seriously. My weapon was 449 or 447 damage, I forget.

I figure I'll bring this to light, and go ahead and get the nerfing out of the way, eh?

Trusty Laser Rifle???

You mean the same Laser Rifle that does 2000+ damage on one shot and does 80 damage on the next?
