Plasma weapon need a buff

[yuevolution]

Currently there are 4 plasma primary weapon: scorch, plasma punisher, purifier.
Due to the buff of other weapons and enemy, scorch the rifle already mediocre.
The other two I can see the dev want AOE and shockwave. But what we really got seems some sort funny displacement, and thats it. Hardly find a window to shoot several times, and the enemy probably still there quite active.
I high suggest give plasma punisher some AOE damage, maybe at eruptor level, consider it shoot slow, ballistic slow, and range short. Using it needs too much risk. Give purifier some AP or simply turn it into a mini quasi, at least easy kill the shield devastator and the belly bug.

The scortcher is far FAR from being "Medicore" its hands down the best plasma in the game and still the undefeated champ against bots.

The punisher needs a boost, thing is way to weak.
The purifier is just a worse version of the punisher.

Punisher should be hitting at 300 damage, purifier should be hitting at 300 as well. That would be a good start.

I mean medicore compare to entire primary weapon library.
Sickle is called the one of the best.
Dominator also one of the best.
Scorcher, I dont know, sounds dominator completely cover its function. After strider buff, I cant find a scene that scorcher is better than dominator.

Dude punisher is practically OP vrs bots at this point, and it has a good sized AOE for a primary. Your problem is 100% a skill issue. Scorcher I'm surprised didn't get a nerf its so good for bots.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Again, respectfully, you are worng on it being Medicore. Its an amazing weapon vs bots and IMO probably the best bot weapon in the game right now. Its fast firing fast reload, dead on accurate and can stagger any bot. You can also mag dump into the back of a tank or turret and kill them. It is not, in any way, medicore even stacked up against other primaries.

Sickle is great agaisnt bugs, i think its ok against bots as long as you pair it with something good.
Dominator is a side grade to the plas 1 on bots, better against bugs then the plas 1 is due to stagger.

Run the scrotcher with a backpack to feed it ammo, you will see why im telling you its the best bot weapon. Run Laser canon, plas 1, and a back pack, stun grenades, only thing thats a threat is factory walkers.
