How is DoP so good & Hard Light so bad?

I don't get it. Same archetype. Very similar stats. DoP is god mode and Hard Light fees like it shoots marshmallows. I played a few games with HL earlier and it was [i]entirely[/i] underwhelming compared to how I've seen DoP just melt faces off. I thought HL would be comparable or an adequate placeholder, but nah. Doesn't hold a candle to the real deal. [Edit]: Alright, alright. HL isn't the same archetype as DoP, though it's an arbitrary distinction between the two (imo). It's like someone with brown hair saying, "No, it's [i]chestnut[/i]. Not brown." The slightly increased impact should balance out, but whatever.

  • Not the same, there is no reason to use the hardlight archetype since the dop archetype is better in almost every way.

  • Best thing about hard light is the lack of damage falloff from range, that being said, the best way to use it is from a reasonable distance so you don't get outgunned by doctrine and necrochasm, max stability and enjoy melting people from pulse rifle range

      • They aren't the same archetype that's why

I love hardlight, but almost all auto rifles will get destroyed by both DoP and necrochasm. They have what last word as; insane firerate. It's all well and good that your gun does more damage, but that doesn't mean much when I empty my entire mag before you can blink an eye

      • You're doing it wrong. If you know how to use it, hard light is pretty good (pro tip: max its stability)

      • Try the necrochasm instead. That's the same archetype.

      • Different archetype. Doctrine has less impact, more rate of fire. The only good auto in the hard lights archetype is Monte Carlo, in my opinion.

          Not the same archetype. Compare the two in game. Doctrine has a higher rate of fire less impact Hardlight is the same archetype as monte carlo.

            • Hardlight shines in pve, especially against Cabal, but also Hive knights when they put up their annoying shield wall
