ok, so for argument's sake you have a very nice krayt elite carbine w/ form-fitted stock, damage-sliced it's 2.6spd so you cap cripplingshot w/ +85spd, the maximum damage PU'd is 412dmg.

you use cripplingshot: 412*7.5 = 3092dmg

PVP reduction: 773dmg

Ap2 > Ar1: 773*1.25 = 966dmg

85% armor: 966*.15 = 145dmg


now, compare against even a non-krayt ion rifle firing strafe2 at 1sec/shot against 85% base/40%stun (very unrealistic to have anything but helm at this level, but for argument's sake...) unsliced is 300max dmg let's say, so PU'd to 400dmg.

you use strafe2: 400*7.5 = 3000dmg

PVP reduction: 750dmg

Ap1 = Ar1: 750*1.0= 750dmg

40% stun: 750*.6 = 450dmg


and there you have it, your "uber" krayt, stocked AP2 elite carbine just got slapped upside the head by a factor of THREE by a non-krayt ion rifle. FOTM? i think not.


now naturally i didn't do mitigation into this or bother showing how headshot3 is even worse since it's single-pool and not the 55% health that random pools hit, but just making a point...in reality, the max dmg on both of these is mitigated down some, and of course the average is quite a bit lower...but a krayt ion can easily hit 450dmg thru 40%stun-layered armor in PVP so it's not at all far-fetched.

ap2 elite would make us the next FOTM?


curious how 25% higher dps would make us the next FOTM when riflemen & CM outdamage us in buffed/armored PVP by a factor of 5-6x...states are fun, and great in groups, but FOTM will always flock to power. bandwagon pvp'ers care nothing of utility, it's all 'bout raw effectiveness w/ zerging ar2 rancors, or spamming eyeshot, or spamming knockdown, or spamming headshot3, or tossing 80m venom mind poisons.
