Carbineer Archive

SOJ,

Great! Somebody finally explained the whole armor vs. weapons thing for me.

I see the posts on this board, and more and more often I get the impression that people use DPS as the "one number" they can look at to see how good a carbine is. DPS is somewhat useful, but it is by no means the whole story. Besides the AR that people bring up so much, the variability of damage can also make a HUGE difference. If you hit for min damage with a laser carbine twice in a row, that could mean a VERY quick trip to the cloning center...

Does anyone know what it is?
