Gauss doesn't need to to one shot a medium to be effective. Gauss just needs 2 seconds of your time whether you're a noob not knowing what to do or you're preoccupied. It doesn't really matter how it gets the kill, what matters is that the Gauss got the kill and the victim never saw it coming.

This thread was started by someone who wanted laser removed from shaft.

You've co-opted it into a rant about Gauss.  You want to keep complaining about Gauss go start a new thread. 

We get it - you don't like Gauss.  But give it a rest man.

Remove Shaft's laser, give it massive splash damage, and watch how Gauss suddenly becomes a cute, adorable little doll.

So you're reducing it's damage by a significant amount though, right?

He didn’t seem to mention any damage decrease.

Now that I think about it, having 3300 damage on a Gauss-type splash radius could be compensated by making the aiming system equal to that of HCs. Of course it would be powerful, but it wouldn’t be as easy to get a hit as with Gauss.

Yeah, you're right, we should take our argument to a more appropriate thread.

Okay so this might be automatically ignored. What is the purpose of shaft if the enemies can see that your aiming at them. You may say that it will be OP without the laser. Isnt that the purpouse of a sniper to snipe someone without being noticed. 

(I started a whole argument lol)

Oh hell no! No Shaft laser means armies of Eagles will rise. You want this tp happen???

Wrong.  Gauss’ sniper mode has insane damage and splash already.  The silent lock on also means no need for a heavy hull.  Just stick with hornet for those one shots.  

you're just another "shoot at the pile in siege mode" noob using booster drone hornet. guass hornet in any other mode besides siege is as rare as uranium striker these days. and the moment any rapid fire trash alteration turret starts spamming at you, you immediately give up on charge shooting and turn into a substitute thunder  to shoot every 1.5 seconds because your weak aim gets knocked off too easily. and why shouldn't you? the damage per second for the arcade shot is higher than charging up for 2 seconds and cool down of 3 seconds over and over continuously (not counting the wasted time while your aim gets knocked off). shaft arcade shot use to be the same reload time as non alteration thunder. guass is the same thing as the present over buffed shaft. that rapid fire shaft alt salted the wound further. Oh, you didn't get one shotted by shaft and you're going to push the 1 button for a repair? too bad! kid shaft is spamming 1.5 second arcade shots at you immediately after the charged shot interrupting your repair kit. watch the new guass alteration be rapid fire guass so all the little kiddies can have substitute rapid fire shaft and thunder.

I strongly advise you to shut up about Shaft. You have 1000 hours invested into Magnum and your most used drone is Defender.

Yes, RFM is stupidly OP. It needs a long overdue nerf. Shaft has no fallback mechanism outside of its arcade shots. I would have been fine if they had removed the arcade and made it scope only with a much faster reload. But no, that's not what we got.

So I strongly advise you to keep your mouth shut about Shaft.

you should read what I said more carefully. I said the acarde shot reload time is too fast. Not that the arcade shot should entirely disappear. Maybe you got mixed up when I said a neat alteration idea for guass would be to get rid of the arcade shot in excange for less reload for the charged shot.

 

also I used to be the best magnum player ever with the best aim until one day the new alterations came out and turned magnum into a railgun or mine spamming piece of trash. And then all the little kiddies switched over to magnum with magnum protection. Now I am a striker guass player in need of a way to cancel out the boost and sabatuor drone players, forced to use over buffed defender drone. wasn't 5 second defender drone better in your opinion?

I don’t own gauss.  I don’t own the booster drone.

Gauss is not rare at all, it is relatively common.  It isn’t hard to camp in a corner.  

@Tidebreaker has addressed the shaft part.

Gauss arcade is very meh.  You need to be much closer to the enmy to be effective - meaning you will die a lot more.  Arcade is a last resort.

It's better than arcade Gauss.  Range is only 1 factor.

I love how every turret holds a laser, except gauss.
