Thread: Whats the damage cap on a Nym's Slug-thrower?

I suggested the Weaponsmith forum because those guys are sharp as tacks and seem to keep up to date on this kind of information. I believe they have an entire sticky dedicated to weapon caps...
True, *but* since the Slug-Thrower isnt something they craft I cant see them keeping data on it... I looked at the FAQ they had and nothing on the Slug-Thrower. I thought the best place was the BH forums since BH have the most use for a carbine like this (Jedi Hunting) and the Smuggler forum being next since they are the ones that have to slice it...
Carbiners I dont think would know as the Slug-Thrower only really shines when killing PSG enabled Jedi 1 on 1. I could try though

my nyms carbine is 719 max dam and 173 elemental (i think, im not 100% sure on what the elemental is, im not in game right now, but all the stats on the weapon go up together, meaning the better the damage, the better the elemental damage, and the better the speed). When i tried to do a 2% damage slice, i didnt allow me, so im guessing the cap is a little over 719.......prolly somewhere around 725
oh and im not trrying to flame, but the carbine that "noob" sold you isn't exactly a noob...........these carbines are incredibly easy to get, and on bria the only ones that are worth anything are the ones with 700+ max damage

Well it sucks if the hard cap is under 750
The smuggler system is new to be (have only sliced one weapon since the CU) and I didnt want to waste a slice if it wouldnt raise the value... If a slice wont happen unless it can raise the number by the given % then I have nothing to lose by trying.
As far as the carbine and newbie who sold it, the *only* Nym's carbines on the vendor search sucked except for one otherthat had one pts per stat better then mine... It was selling for 500k... The carbine I got from Nym was ok, but if I cant get the min dam over 500 and the max over 900 it isnt going to have much appeal to me
How can you get the Nym carbine more then once? Can you do it over or do you have to have an alt account to make and delete toons?

I got that from Nym post CU on Chilastra. It was the second carb I got, the first was a$$.
Nice one man! Is that unsliced?
So right now the only help I can offer is that I believe the cap to be at least 720. Can anyone tell me how to look at a Nyms and know if it is pre-CU or not?

And if you're a BH/Carb, you'd be better off with a nice lootmade Czerka Dart instead.
Thank you for replying
The Czerka is one way to go and I might end up going that route. The main attraction for me when it comes to the Slug-Thrower is the high min damage. If I can slice it to 8% the min damage (with the +169 acid) would be over 500.
Min damage and low SAC is crucial when it comes to a good Jedi killing weapon.

I dont know the cap, and I am not a BH. But I do know of at least one Nyms that is around 720 max. I dont know if it is a pre-Cu above-the-cap model, but I do know it exists. Just like I have an E11 with 1200 max damage, but it was a pre-CU model.

I hope the max is atleast over 722 cause otherwise I wont be able to slice it to even 4%.. I would have to settle with a 2% slice... Which would mean a 708 max damage + 169 acid = 877... Too low if that is the case
