Carbineer Archive

So there is a speed cap that lets us attack only once per second or so no matter how fast our VK are. What I'm wondering is at what speed is the cut off? What speed does it do no good to get lower than as a TKM? Knowing this I can try to find some VK with high damage and a not so good speed as long as it is at or just a little below this cutoff speed. Thanks.

I use a 2.2 and hit the speed cap with my trandoshan TKM.

hey just a quick queston... I have a laser rifle with 5.5 speed .. i saw someone post that hey have 1.9...

1 which is faster?

2. is this how long it takes before you shoot or is it like 1-10 and the higher you are the faster you shoot?

the lower the number the faster u shoot.

i have NEVER seen a laser carb with 1.9 speed, i won't believe it until i see the actual in-game carbine itself.

thats number is the times it takes in seconds for the next action in your que to execute, hope this helps

I’ve seen 2.0 speeds sliced and with a power-up (hinge triggers). I have one with 2.2.

On eclipse i have 1.7 speed laser carbine with 33% speed slice and 33% speed power-up

i also have 1.8 speed 41- 276 28/44/22laser carbine with slice and powerup and it rocks, use it with a 3.2 speed 38-440 28/45/22 for good bleeds.

I have a Krayt DH17 when made was 2.2 and got a speed slice and is now 1.6

sorry didnt see laser carbine part

Is it better to have a higher number for the speed rank or lower? I have never seen this answered and thought you knowledgable ldies and gentlemen could help me out. Thanks.

The speed value is the length of the delay between shots. In other words, a 2.0 speed weapon fires faster than a 5.0 speed weapon.

Thank you. I thought it worked that way, but I wasn't sure.

It's my understanding that a weapon will only fire, at most, once per second. If this is correct, at master level of a ranged profession, you are going to be firing at once per second whether your weapon speed is 2.2 or 1.3.

The real question here is why would I pay to have a weapon (mostly pistols) sliced for a fast speed instead of damage? Is there really a benefit to that?

I can certainly understand speed mods for rifles and heavy weapons that have a speed of 5+, for example, but doesn't make sense to me when people want their FWG5's, Scatters, etc, sliced for a real low speed.

Please point out any flawed thinking, appreciate any help.
