OOO should add a Fire version of the polaris which i have named the "blaze burner". the gun does elemental damage like the polaris but sets sets things on fire instead of shock. it wouldnt be OP because the damage from fire is pretty much the same as shock, the blaze burner wont be an OP version of the polaris just as the magma driver isnt an OP version of the Storm driver. the gun would look like this : http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/4096/blazeburner.png ( good photoshopping this time )

the 3* version would be called a "temperate pulsar" and the 4* i havent thought of a name yet.
and the reason a fire version of a polaris would be good is because some people cant shock many enemies but still want to use a pulsar type gun and still inflict a damaging status.

What do you mean not shock enemies?

Polaris is already powerful enough, adding a clone with unrestricted knockback and extra DPS would break what little balance exists.

...

unrestricted knockback? extra DPS? i never mentioned either. and not shock as in allot of monsters are invunerable to shock so since you cant shock why not burn? im not asking to buff the pulsar line. im asking for a fire version. if i was asking for a buff i wouldnt go through the effort of making that image

Polaris Shock stops knock back at times when inflicted.
And didn't you already make a thread like this?

polaris shock also shocks after the knockback.

Also, fire does much more

Also, fire does much more damage than shock. That's where Xplad's extra DPS comes from.

Hurr

This is how to play the game.

If you are not vastly competent with all the mechanics in the game and how things are balanced, do not make threads for equipment. By "vastly competent" I mean you have memorized every single weapon line and how they all work always forever; or have a weapon of each line to have a general idea. The Wiki is not a replacement for frontline experience.

" because the damage from fire is pretty much the same as shock"

Have you ever used both guns? Shock has its utilities, but raw-damage wise you're so so wrong.

well

there damage might be different but in the end there both just as useful. thats what i meant.
and the time that things are on fire from the blaze burner could be reduced if it makes that much of a difference

and...

saying a blaze burner would be an Op version of polaris be like saying the combuster is an OP version of the voltedge because it has more damage, or the glacius because of damage and knockback which it isn't. i've used those weapons and i know that shock can be better than fire at times and it doesnt make much of a difference in DPS even with a sword. and if ppl have so much of a problem with knockback they could just reduce it on the blaze burner

Reducing the knockback would make it more OP

The fact is, the knockback on the Polaris keeps it from being too strong. Imagine if you could rapidly hit things with every shot, it would potentially out DPS every elemental gun. Add fire to the mix, and you can see then new OP LD weapon.

In my opinion, there doesn't need to be a second Polaris, for obvious reasons.

well it wouldnt be OP in lockdown if they didnt make knowckback as big and its hard to hit with polaris in lockdown anyway. plus i know the knock back or DPS shouldnt even be much of a problem because with other weapons with knowckback that do shock and have a fire equivelent have the same knockback and DPS (combustor and voltedge) plus the difference even if they didnt reduce knckback wouldnt have a big difference and not really matter. like the combustor and voltedge charge.

Add a op grenade launcher+ one of the most powerful status= You F*ed LD with this.

The Brandish lines can only inflit charge on status, and the charge you can't really spam without a large CTR.

Comparing the spamming 3 clip of the Pulsars is like comparing Apples to Oranges.
