Im one of those who prefer the higher lvl Specials ...but if my action goes down i switch to a High Power Barel (dam pup) and use ranged placed shot. Mostly its when the Mdef is low on force and of course not exploited his crystals and saber so he cant kill me in 3 hits.

Best slices for the Weapon is and i think its for everyone who is Speedcapped specially a rifleman - 8% dam slice / 2% speed slice / 3% crit slice = 100% customization. It also only eats up 1 Illegal Core Bosster for all these slices.

Another point why Speedslice 12% is worthless is most good BH's are already overspeeded by mods f.e. +25 gen ranged speed + 25 rifle speed. So ranged Placed Shot are at the highest speed already due to these.

Since i can handle speed and know the caps i only have a +13 gen speed tape and the +25 ones for the more important things like rifle def and acc stuff melee def ranged def and so on...

For a rifleman most damage dealers are (the ones who not own an uber carb) the speed cap comes really early and thats why speed is the less important thing a rifleman needs.

There are no hard speed caps.

I have a 12% speed sliced rifle, and without the speed powerup its modified speed is 1.4, with the speed powerup it becomes 1.0. There is a huuuuge, noticeable difference when DPS is lower at 1.4 speed, than at 1.0 speed. It's more sluggish at 1.4 speed. In the heat of battle, .4 seconds feels like an eternity when you're waiting for the next combat round. So, I would hardly call a 12% speed slice useless.

From experience I've found that speed is the most important thing when fighting Jedi.

The speed cap for advanced crit is 1.7 sec so anything under this of modified speedis useless even if it would work u would run too fast out of action and cant shoot or kd recovery anymore.

Another point is dps means nothing cause since CU the caps are the big problem. Even if it shows u a dps of 1000 or something u wont do more damthan with 550modified dps. I tested that with all my capped weapons and got to that result ... also my friends tell me the same result of their tests.

When a weapon is dam capped by crafting and / or slicingu can only get above this by a dam pup. If u are capped at speed (modified) for ure specials f.e. 1.7 sec for adv crit shot u can do nothing not even with a slice or pup to shot faster with that weapon.

Thats why i say a 12% speed slice is for me like to waste a good capped weapon. Specially now when the crit slice works as intended and is not bugged anymore.

placed shot and ranged shot will fire every 1.0 seconds if your weapon has a modified speed of 1.0. also,combat roundtimers are faster with a weapon with a modified speed of 1.0. thus, you can alternate high damage specials faster. when hunting jedi, and defenders in particular, a high damage weapon is less effective since you will miss a lot and fire fewer shots. what good is more damage when you miss a lot? it is better to have a fast weapon that gets more shots in than a slow weapon that has high damage but the damage doesn't get through.
