Thread: Which to ADK
Without a moment of hesitation, The sluggy.
The Elite is baddass no doubt about it..... but it's only marginally better than the sluggy as far as Est Base DPS.
But here are two things that E Base DPS doesn't tell you.....
1. Kinetic weapons aren't affected by PSGs, so you will be able to hit 20% harder (or there abouts) with the Nyms than with the Elite. (When was the last time you saw a Jedi NOT wearing a PSG?
2. Nearly all jedi have Defender 0040, which has Aura..... extra 500 defense. This will mean that most of the time you are shooting, you will be hiting for much closer to your min damage than your max damage. When you add elemental damage to the Nyms minimum.... It is by far the better gun. So you get an extra.... 12% damage I think versus an Aura Jedi.
What does this mean? .... versus the best of targets... you'll probably get a bonus of about 3-5% using the Elite above what the Nyms can do (against a low defense, non-psg target).....
However..... when you most need the damage, you'll be doing an extra 32% (estimated) with the Nyms above what the elite will do (against a high defense, PSG target).....
Conclusion.......
1. Put the ADK on the Nyms and be a jedi killing machine. (if you loot a better Nyms.... destroy current and adk the new one)
2. Use the Elite for PvE, like against the Katarn or the Boss/Elite NPCs, etc. Mobs/NPCs never wear PSGs. And you can always have another Elite made.
