I think all Energy Weapons could use some love here. Solar is not an exception. Other Energy guns would also need some changes as at the moment there is almost no one that uses them.
+1. Plasma weaponry is complete shit unfortunately. From what I've tested, EWs are only effective against unarmored opponents.
Lmao are you guys serious? AoP noobs thinking EW is under powered
Plasma weapons are a finisher due to its Natures peace perk. Plasma cannon can cause criticals up to 200 on armored target. Sonic cannon goes through walls, disperses enemy lines and supress them.
Hell, use plasma grenades and spam them and see what kind of fear you cause to enemies.
EW is not in a need of a buff. You haven't even seen pulse rifle or alien blaster in action
