I paid 5.1 million for my HLR. The differences are 82 Sac and 1140 max damage, speed similar, and no accuracy bonus but it works quite well. I finally broke down and adk'd it at half condition. As far as whats better, I have no idea.

find an HLR with a range of at least 640-1050 shouldnt be hard to make and will be pretty cheap.Slice it how ya like and add a PuP you like and you will be much better off. You really need the min to be in the 600's and with an HLR that is not hard to do at all.

Sac should be like 82 but if the WS uses his exp on damage thne you may need to use a SAC PuP as the SAC will prolly not be capped.

not nearly worth 15 mil

go see ess'ence, his stuff is awesome for the great prices.

origins and dxsquat have some stuff that can be a little better, but comes at a premium.


=====================================================================


These *ARE* Origins' rifles...


I guess I'll try and give Ess'ence a tell.

I mean 15 is stupid.. .. 10 is crazy but at least I can see paying that much.. ..

Either he is seriously marking up or has paid waayyyyy too much for the looted compenents. In which case I would offer to bring them the cells or whatever they need to break that price down and get something you can actually use.

I use an ALR /w 1160max to grind with.. ..1184 is 0.5 off of cap but still.. ..

Ok so i found out the Master Defender has several Force Abilities that makes his ranged defense +700 as well as resistant to Kinetic and Energy Attacks.


Soooo...what kind of sick rifles can i get that dont do EITHER type of damage. Perhaps proton or laser damage might be better?

There's no such thing. All weapons either do primarily energy or kinetic damage. All other damage types (Heat, Cold, Acid and Electricity) are Elemental damage and are simply additional secondary damage effects of certain weapons. There's no longer any such thing as Blast, Stun or Restraint.

I don't care how bad the inflation is on Bria, 15 million for those rifles is just too damn much, especially if you can get a poor-man's T-21 and achieve the same effect.

15 million for under 400 dps and a speed over 2?

Please.

The prices for comparable weps on Bloodfin is about 5 to 7 million. 15mill seems a bit on the high side.

Both are nice but will do very little damage to a Jedi wearing a PSG, try going for quests (or buy if you got chump change) to get yourself a Fallen Hyper rifle or the LD-1 rifle as they both do kinetic damage. Or one of those pre-CU Tusken rifles that are nearly 900 damage unpuped.

Keep in mind i want to hunt Jedi with these of course

======================================================


Both rifles seem rediculously high in price...but u have to take into consideration that its Bria and EVERYTHING is expensive on bria lol. So why do you guys think of these rifes and which ons is better?


I am leaning towards the HLR because the wound is better, and does elemental/electric dmg.


My only concern:

Is ENERGY dmg a good or bad thing? I know Jedi sabers use energy dmg, so i was worried about them being resisted towards it.


Perhaps I should shop for a differnet rifle? Let me know what you guys think....





I realize im a MBH and MCM and Pistoleer 0004, so rifles doesn't really fall into my "ideal weapon" catagory for my temp..but i will jedi this char in a month and my 2nd char will be a MRifleman/MBH + something else...so i thought it would make a good investment.


I have a great pistol already, but figured i need a rifle now too. Let me know what you guys think please.

You're right - even for Bria those prices are insane. Out of the two of them I'd prefer the laser rifle, but you may find the higher wound chance helps in PvP.


I use a Krayt Heavy Lightning Rifle, myself.

Whats the Krayt HLR do that this one i have listed doesn't...?


But is the ENERGY dmg on these rifle ok to hunt jedi?


I've only been using "Kinetic" with my scatter and haven't really had any problems. So just wondering....
