Mitigation ruins the Laser in PvP, even with the extra AP.

i saw often that my DH17 in the past made more damage then my Laser.. both are krayted have about 400 max damage and 1,9 speed and i often wonder why i hit more with my dh17.. even through armor or not... AP is buggy i say...


like last nite when i fought a NPC on Dath wich had 100 kinetic ressists and 80% Stun.. i did more damage with my vibroblade even through the 100% as with my stun baton on the 80% spot.


and in PVP i tried it often on a friend that my DH17 is best weapon i have... then comes my dxr6,Laser,ee3...

Calculate that...

94-710.

710-94=606

606X.4=242

242+94=336

94x1.25=117

336x1.25=420

After mitigation and AP, it comes out to: 117-420. Like I said, destroyed.

Now, I don't know how that was made, meaning what tissues were used and what slices, so I can't make an Elite to compare, but these are the calculations I've done:


Stocked Elite: 148-229


Krayted (+69): 148-298
30% slice: 192-387

+33min: 256-387
Cripple 7.5x: 1920-2903
RDM3: 1920-2313




Stocked Laser: 83-317
Krayted (+69): 83-386
30% slice: 108-502


+33/+16 PU: 125-667
Cripple 7.5x: 937-5002
RDM3: 937-2563
AP: 1171-3204

+33min: 143-502
Cripple 7.5: 1072-3765
RDM3: 1072-2149
AP: 1340-2686

The Elite with a 33% min damage power-up beats out the Laser, made and sliced exactly the same, by far.

33/16 Laser: 1171-3204 1920-2313<--------Elite
33min Laser: 1340-26861920-2313<--------Elite

Case and point.

I have a krayt speed sliced snub I use in pvp on the first pass of large scale conflicts. Full Auto area 2 makes a large difference if even only10 out of20 opponents gets a state effect. People tend to underestimate the effect blind and stun states have.

Dirthnader said : Any BH/carbineer should be ashamed to admit they use a DH17??




What novamarine sayd was true in that case, but im talking about pvp against melee's without armor!


If umean i should be ashamed for using a 147-378 dh-17 with speed 1.6 u dont do much pvp Dirthnader


I think there is a big diff in pvp from server to server..


novamarine said everybody is fullbuffed and packin full armor in pvp on his server,that not the case on my server therefor


u can not say that a no ap gun is totally useless!


Well, that my wiev of things

Look at Ideal range. The snub has a shorter one making it suitable for thost close encounters.

jangus that elite is nothing special, mine are all better than that....Not trying to brag or anything but i dont think you have looked at to many good elites with stocks lately or your server has had some realy bad resorces.



Dh17's are good for speed but even against an unarmored enemy in pvp ill use my elite. Its hard to say if they have damage mitigation or not and with the right power ups etc i can get my elite down to about 2.3 speed. And once the revamp comes in and i use my tissues and imp stocks ill have an elite that shoots at better than 1.7 speed pre slice and powerup !!! and about 180-200 min damage heh. got enough loot to try for 3 good ones. But i alwase get burned on the slice lol.

You find someone who can make an elite like the one that fits your calculations and you will have converted me...

The Dh17's aren't big hitters.


Like Efreak tried to state earlier, they are low HAM cost fast firing spam guns. Having a fast firing spam gun used to mean something back in the day before they nerfed our crowd control abilities to hell.With a spam gun and the proper field position you could absolutely pinhordes of mobs with as2, while your buddies wailed away with the heavy ordinance.


But since our posture changes and knockdowns are all on timers, the only thing that people seem to be concerned about is landing that big damage hit. The Dh17's usefulness has diminished.


In truth, i really only use my snub as a point blank panic gun to kite mobs with warningshot nowdays.

That's a regular stocked Elite, dude... on Radiant at least...

Ikan makes 148-229

Malfunction makes 149-229

Most other people make 147 or 148 min with 228 max

What is so extravagent (sp?) about 148-229?

PvP without buffs and composite on my server is suicide. non-AP guns do jack on my server. So at least on my server DH17 is nearly useless in PvP, unless you're just spamming bleedshots or KDs then a speed sliced DH17 is good for state effects as opposed to doing any actual damage.

I know enough about PvP to know that if some idiot is running at me without armor I'm putting the carbine away and eyeshotting him to death. My scatters do more damage than the DH-17 you're quoting there, have AP1, and they hit the mind pool on every shot.


I stand by my comment - any BH/carbineer should be ashamed to use a DH17. It shows you have a lack of understanding about the array of weapons and tactics at your disposal. This is one of the primary reasons people think BH's are weak - they don't understand how to effectively use every tool at their disposal.
