Are you sure about that? Lets do the math.....


My DXR6 with Max/Min PU is 163/350 at the Speed Cap for CripplingShot.....against Mitigation Level 3 and 80% Acid Comp this is 75 DPS.
Now the 510 Mind Poison is doing 51 DPS, but it is hitting Mind 100% whereas CripplingShot is being spread among Health, Action, and Mind.


But it still doesn't sound that far out of balance once you look at the DPS.








The duration on that thing is so long you could set the poison, then switch to DXR6 and do that much more DPS. Mind is unhealable too whereas health/action is.

Oh yea, i totally agree; i'd rather be the one carrying it though.


The poison resists have however really nerfed weapons like this. I tested with my other exceptional dot weapon (>100% potency) and against a resist "B" pack it was reduced to sticking 17% of the time . I expect similar results with this carbine. Stick in a doc with area cures into the fight, and you struggle to use this as a primary offence.


Idon't get any satisfaction from sticking a big poison, then letting it tick for teh win. If i'm up against 3 or more opponents, i might pull it out to even the numbers a bit, but other than that or occasions where i'm very keen on killing someone i'll be using my normal carbines.



I don't think i'll repair this until it ismuch lower. I paid nuff bucks and i dont want to break it without atleast getting some use

they can be a bit ridiculous, but with new poison and disease resist buffs they are much less effective. and another thing how many ppl have things like this? anyone who has enough money to buy something like this deserves to win a fight against an ordinary person with ordinary guns. and oviously this guy bought this carbine because he said it was looted off a protector.... (which carbineers can't do dmg to) along with spellweavers and stalkers

Guy's I've looted a DR-17 Carbine with a poison Dot on it much like the orginators CDEF. Looted it off Rebels on Lok while mission running. So High End characters are not the ONLY one's dropping good loot

There used to be a 1800+ mind poison carbine on valcyn... It was rediculious. These guns should be banned from the game like the old one on valcyn.
