Yeah, I'd love to know what kind of stats the lightning cannon has. Also, does it count as a rifle, so you can use all our rifle special moves with it, or is it in its own category? Lastly, is it something players make, or do you have to buy/find one somewhere?


Thanks,

From the things I have heard about it, the Lightning Cannon does not count as a rifle. Which is pretty unfourtunate becuase you spent all the time getting rifle just to see you can't use the skill. (I don't know I could be wrong.


And yes, people make it. If you play on the Starsider server, I know a few people that can make them already.

Sorta like the entire scout half of BH?
Oh, sorry, wrong thread. ;P



I've seen in a few other threads that the resources needed to make them are unavailable right now. Anyone if this is true?

Not the entire line of scout.



Just the trapping and hunting. And survival to a point.

i really think that the scout skills are required becuase it allows a BH to function on his/her/its own. if you have the right classes mixed in you can pretty much stand alone when mixed with the scout stuff.

I have one and it's 62-112, speed 5.6, ham = (off the top of my head) 20-50.


It looks nice with my Chitin armor

I dont think you can fairly use stats current (most likely) novice (for that level) crafted LCannons. As has been pointed, look how many variations there are on CDEFs? My firstCDEF was 30s damage where the second one was near the 60s. I anticipate seeing a Lightning Cannon with MUCH better stats then this in the future. Otherwise, wouldnt really seem worth it since they are like their own tree that only starts at BH, right? These weapons should create devastating amounts of damage when they start becoming more common and professionally made.

After returning to the game from some time away, I went to respec my character last night.I noticed BH no longer has the lightning cannon or carbine tree.... if we don't specialize in another weapon prof what weapons are useable as just a BH?

The skill boxes for BH now have 'general' plus to ranged acc, speed, and defense. Weapon certificates have been removed. The BH still gets lightning rifle for themselves. Light lightning at novice BH, and heavy lightning at master BH.


BH also gets scatter pistol at novice and high capacity scatter at Master.


BH also get a proton carbine i believe.


Just check the weapon itself to see if you qualify for use, weapons are seperated by combat lvl and what mastery your character has.


I hope this helps clear things up
