So the firebird and freeze have amazing alterations: Longer range = more damage and effective range, at the small expense of harder aiming (which is something good players can easily work around), or more damage. However, the isida's are terrible. I just rented the first one today (broadband emitters) and found it really decreased the effectiveness of the gun. Played a game with it and I had numerous times when normal range would be very helpful, but the wider range was only useful once, when a freeze had frozen me and I couldn't turn my barrel. I cant even begin to understand the thinking on the next alteration either: five seconds longer of healing, in return for a 50% damage decrease? Where is the point? The only times I run out of energy while healing is when I've gone straight from attacking a different tank to healing (in which scenario the alteration would make my attacking much much less effective), or when I need to heal three severely damaged tanks in quick succession, which occurs much less often than me escaping from a fight with less than 50% health left (because if I'd had the alteration on in those circumstances I would've been dead.)
The isida is my favorite gun, and its sad to have alterations that are so situational for it. Please change these to make them slightly more widely useful. Thank you!
