So the Saron (magrider) could use a change to make it fit better with the mags hit and run style. The halberd is preferred by many of the better magrider drivers because of high alpha damage that is better in a lot of situations that magrider gets into. What if you change the saron so it has 2 firing modes. 6 shot standard one and a charge shot one it takes 3 sec to charge and then it releases a 1500(200 less damage than the 6 shot) damage bolt of vanu plasma at the target. This would make the saron more versatile in how you can attack armor. The charge up and lower damage is to make it a long range weapon that hits hard and accurate but lacks the power of the 6 shot. And do sort of the same kind of change to vulcan/enforcer, but I have no good ideas about that. in other words the Nc and Tr got equally good changes. Would you guys like this addition. I feel that the ESMBTAV secondaries could use some love. and this is my idea for the saron. I'm tired of halberd master race. They make the mag look
Sorry mate, that is not a good idea. Why? Because it would destroy the purpose of using the Halberd. I've already certed into the Halberd, therefore i do not want it to become a useless weapon. The stats you are providing will make the Saron a superior Halberd, with the charge up time. Halberd only does 1000 damage if I'm not wrong. Why does the Saron get 1500? Halberd has a 3.25 RS, why does the Saron have 3 seconds? Halberd has less MV, why does the Saron have more? And in the end, why does the ESAV get to function as 2 types of weapons?
I've already certed into the Saron. Then they gutted it and made it worthless, fixed it a little, then made it worthless again. The Saron has a 3-second reload speed because SOE was too lazy to change it. It used to be identical to the Halberd in every way, except: 0.25-second faster reload speed 0.25-second firing delay No bullet drop That was it. Those were the only differences.
I wouldn't call the Saron worthless now but since the change the Halberd is definitely the better weapon when fully certed.
An Halleberd fully certed is superior in many aspects. An experienced and skilled gunner will do better with this weapon rather than with the new Saron, for anti infantery or anti vehicle purposes. The Saron still be a good weapon, but it fits less and less the Magrider playstyle.
