This thread is like fighting windmills, I think that we can agree that we all continue using our style of combat, with which we are content.

The purpose of my posts here is simple - please DO NOT dismiss high SAC weapons with high DPS, if you are unable to use the weapon in right way, grab CDEF and go spam SUPAshots on krayts.

So here it comes - after little testing Im here to present the results. Using my Elite Carbine with DPS 366 and SAC 120 i found and Killed 3 giant krayt dragons. All was done from 17:52:01 to 18:18:00(finding them ate some time).

First dragon died by 87 ranged shots 380 damage + around 20 specials of Snare and KD. First shot at -17:52:01- last17:56:00

Second dragon died by 81 ranged shots 380 damage + same ammoutn of specials. First shot at 18:01:00 - last 18:04:33

Third dragon died by 84 ranged shots 380 damage + same ammoutn of specials. First shot at 18:13:03 - last 18:18:00

All information I can give you. I usually use 2 pets and droid(not this time)and cut this time in half(not that is long lol - aprox 4 minutes to SOLO kill Giant Krayt Dragon).

Thanks for idea of this test, the first and third droped both good pearls, and the second droped tissue 5+135-.38. I love krayt hunt.

And now Im confused a little... i tested my way LIVE in combat sir.. I posted damage, timestamps and know that i rarely miss, lets say no more than 10. You can always count time needed for ranged shot from the information i gave you above. If you want to do some real testing - NOW YOU GO OUT AND KILL SOME DRAGONS YOURSELF kind sir. I did exactly, as you asked me in post above... now do it pls.

I agree, I attack ancients when I find them, but do not enjoy it, they tend to warp, have high defense and drop same things as other dragons.

so much arguing. the clear answer is to get a carbine that has good EVERYTHING. then theres no need to determine what is better.

my E11 is:

2.4speed

496-1110 damage

+17 accuracy

and 92 SAC

all unpup'd

with a damage pup it does to 2.8 speed 5xx-1280 damage. with the right food i can go 10 minutes w/o running out of action.

hits jedi for over 1000, actually hits almost anything for over 1000. lesson of this story is, get a gun with good everything and we won't have to fight so much. or find a playstyle that works well for you and stick with it

as for the krayts, i would personally go with the harder hitting weapon just because they rejenerate and if your doing less damage theres a higher chance your going to die quicker since theres jsut so much more time to die. both ways work though, data seems to favor the higher damage though

Iv experimented a bit, and raised my moded DPS to 960... more test are coming soon. As for krayting.. I use the circle of death technique, and with Ranged shot as autoatack, you can numlock your movement and only turn from time to time when you are at 50 m from the dragon to complete the circle.
