If we are talking about Planetside style Plasma - remove it.
I would rather see Plasma redesigned into basically what the radiator did. Make it a largeish (10-15m) arena denial weapon used on walkways etc to put pressure on the enemy. NOT a primary kill farming weapon.
Even better, medics could drop a deployable like a sensor tower to stop the burn in a small radius making tight defensive positions like back doors and corners not an obvious AOE spam location. (And that is Grade B gameplay or 'indrect' player A does something to limit player Bs effectiveness).
This is another situation where without the weapon's power, no one would use it. Thus here is a good example where 'damage to XP' fixes things.
(On a related note the rocklet should be okay direct fire AOE (2-3m) weapons - good assault weapon. The thumper style frag rounds would be used for longer distance AOE (5-8m) assault weapon but the arc should be good enough to hit defenders behind walls etc giving it a secondary use also.)
