The Bola Bothan Carbine is excellent as a quest reward. If you are a BH, the Proton Carbine is also very respectable. The Nyms is a great weapon simply because it is Kinetic/Elemental damage. This makes it better suited for PvP in many cases than either the BH or the Proton.
Many people also like the Blackscale Hallsweeper as a kinetic alternative to the Nyms. It fires blue bolts and sounds a lot cooler than the Nyms. It is a very respectable carbine, but in all honesty it simply can not compete with the Nyms when it comes to PvP. In PvE however, the Blackscale is a very powerful weapon.
These are only my opinions, and if you happen to be a big Blackscale Hallsweeper fan, please dont take this personally
i thought elimental damage was broken so the only thing you could go on was dps. guess i'll have to lookd for more info on this dps thing
Elemental damage was fixed two patches ago I believe, and the previous poster's advice about DPS is accurate. Don't rely on what you see in the windows when it comes to DPS, you want to worry about SAC, Speed and Min/Max damage.
Actually, min damage doesn't matter either. Weapons no longer do a range of damage, they always hit for the max.
Actually, min damage does matter. In cases where your opponents Defense is higher than your Accuracy the damage will be scaled between your minimum and maximum damage. Therefore if you are severely outclasses in the Defense vs. Accuracy department(TKM, Jedi) then you need to have a weapon with high minimum damage in order to keep your damage output high.
