Alright, based on the description of the PC on wikia I've thought of a new idea. What if the PC user could move while charging but due to the instability of the PC it would be rather unwieldily to move with so it would drain stamina, when you run out of stamina you would get stun locked and have the plasma discharge causing damage to the user.

From the wikia :

As the fuel is fed into the miniature fusion core inside the weapon, the hydrogen energises into plasma which is held in the core of the weapon by powerful electromagnetic containment fields. When fired, the fields dilate open and the plasma is ejected via a linear magnetic accelerator as a bolt of superheated matter akin to a solar flare in appearance and temperature.

And a bolt pistol instead of the single fire plasma shot that the PC has. (which others have already suggested.)

If you read anything of what I've said in the thread you'd know I've said several time the PC needs to be changed. I was making a crack about table top balancing and GW's general policy towards it, which is to simply add more cheese.

Gotcha brotherman, my mistake. And yes i'll openly admit I dont always read every single post in every single thread I that I reply to so I did indeed miss your previous posts.

I'd be more okay with it if the charge shot wasn't so quickly powered up

The other issue is, the PC does not feel very satisfying to use

You guys are going to roll your eyes at me again, here comes YET ANOTHER SPACE MARINE COMPARISON!(announcer voice)

When you fire a charged shot off on that sucker, in that game, it sends a big blob of plasma that explodes, in a big, visceral impact that looks exactly like a big ball of white hot plasma hit the area.

Feels way better

Same thing in DoW 2, big ball of plasma that hits enemies and whammo does it do a lot of damage, feels great

PC long rang is fine IMO, it's the close combat stuff where the nerf needs to happen.

I see a lot of "spray and pray" PC users out there that are too successful

We also all agree that the snap shot thing is bullshit.

The single thing that gets me is the previously mentioned ability to fire a charged shot at point blank and down your attacker or multiple enemies in close prox while not going down yourself is ridiculous.

Yea, that sounds like a straight up glitch instead of a feature. Hopefully that gets seen to.

THIS x 40,000. A simple "like" doesn't do justice to the truth of this statement. This has to be without a doubt, hands down, the cheesiest mechanic in game for several dev cycles. What makes this even more frustrating to experience on the receiving end over and over again is the fact that this cheesy tactic is nothing new and that this has been allowed to continue for quite some time now.

Plasma cannons need to move, its not their mobility that needs a nerf. Its just flat out the insta kill AoE damage. They need to be an AoE damage heavy artillery weapon NOT a 360 no$k0pe weapon. I'm abusing the crap out of it until it gets changed because everything else is just completely subpar.

You can kill people behind cover in 1 hit which I find hilariously OP. It needs to do damage and flush them out of cover, not destroy them.

But then overall we'd need to work on raising the overall TTK or reworking armour/health. Game needs hella adjusting but we'll see what the perk/skill tree brings as well as weapon accessories. :|
