I would definitely reccomend the critical slice as opposed to the speed slice. When it comes to speed you have plenty of options to enhance it - +25 General Ranged Speed Attachments and +25 Pistol Speed Attachments. Not to mention the use of Doctor speed buffs and the inherent skill bonuses you'll have just from MBH. With the critical slice you are increasing your chance to do damage with EVERY shot plus whenever fired in conjunction with Advanced Critical you'll find your chances for landing a +Critical+ to be quite high. I have gone 4-5 +Critical+ shots in a row with my weapon.

Thanks for all the info, that is why I love MBH so much, no matter how much you play you can always learn something, so the Crit from the pistol stacks with the adv crit? You can have multiple bleeds from different shots?

There is no bleed associated with Advanced Critical Shot. Crticial Shot merely grants you about a 10 percent chance to land a critical whenever using the special. If you have a critical sliced weapon you're effectivly getting two chances to land a +Critical+ with every Advanced Critical Shot fired. Also whenever launching any other special (Underhand Shot, Torso Shot, etc.) you'll be receiving a 10 percent chance to land a critical.

Torso causes bleed thats right, landing a critical shot causes more damage correct?

Correct - though I don't remember exactly how much more damage it causes. I believe the bonus is an addtional 20 percent though.

Nice gun, I have one similar to that, but that one is a TAD too high priced. And don't damage slice it as you're too close to cap, with a full speed slice you can shoot pretty fast without needing many SEAs.

Spunky so you vote speed over critical? (BTW I KNOW I am paying too much, I mention it several times in the thread...)

The critical shot chance sorta works but it only works when using critical shot. Otherwise you wont get any extra damage. Speed is the best to go with atm.

I see +Criticals+ floating over the heads of my targets plenty of times while using attacks other than Critical Shot. The critical slice increases your base chance of landing a critical with ANY attack - you'll just notice it more often whenever hitting Advanced Criticals.

I know, it however will do no more damage then a normal version of that shot.

where did I read that speed just sort of has diminishing returns after a bit. Like anything lower than 1.35 (or somewthing similar) is all the same...

Yeah I just shot a couple Ranged Shots at my mark and saw that the non-Critical Shot +Critical+ did not increase the damage done. This is a bug, however, and I still believe that (once this bug get's resolved) Critical Slicing is the way to go fora Pistol.

After a couple tier speed slices you should be able to reach 2.0 base speed which is IMO best area for most pistol based templates, then slice the rest into critical. I have not seen any benefit out of it yet, I believe 1.25 modified speed is the "cap" before it begins to diminish, best speed I have is 1.1 without a pup and I shoot incredibly fast with it at randomly once a second even without addrenal buffs.
