Fuck that, new Loch has lightning. Don't you take my lightning flame thrower and machine gun away you Devils.

Solidus, even the old Loch had lightning. Just that it was hardly noticable when the gun explodes itself.

Anyway I think lightning machine gun and flamethrower is cool and all. But I much prefer my LIGHTNING FIREBALLS (Hades).

Richard LeMoon:
I am going to say what we are all thinking.

Loch Flare is where its at.


ZnC has it right. Until it started trying to be GreasedHeavyCharged, Loch's niche has been reduction of arming time and wonder shots. It has lost that identity to become another Greased, while Greased has not returned the favor.

ZnC:
I've sent this in before but I'm just going to post it here. As someone who considers himself a gunning enthusiast and intimate with the numbers - this is how I look at Loch.

Lochnagar
Primarily use: Arming time reduction
Secondary uses: High risk burst damage, jitter reduction
Guns with arming time:

* Lumberjack
* H.Flak
* Hades
* L.Flak
* Mine Launcher
* FlareNotable mention: H.Carro (used for jitter reduction and burst damage)

Proposal:

* Clip Size: -50% (previously -60%)
* Rate of Fire: -50% (added)
* AoE, Arming Time, Rotation Speed, Recoil, Damage, Self Damage: same as beforeRationale:

* Clip Size change (50% instead of 60%) allows it to be much more viable on Hades and L.Flak, both of which have Arming Time.
* Rate of Fire change (50% reduction) allows it to fill its niche as a burst ammo type. This fixes all the broken DPS values.The end result - you get an ammo type that is viable on all the guns mentioned above, but still fun to play with on other guns.
