For some reason, you cant really see other people's points, and only want to see your's. I know what im talking about. I wouldnt be the most sought after Carbineer on Wanderhome for nothing.





Well you obviously fail to see the point of comparing Apples to Apples. The Laser you have used higher quality materials or better slice or different PU to do that.


And you were fighting a PIKEMAN, he probably didn't have Ranged Mitigation 3.....please look at all FOUR situations I outlined with WANDERHOME CARBINES.



Numbers and cold hard data don't lie, there are no opinions in my data, sorry.

You seem to be under the impression that your vaunted 16 wins makes you the be all end all on weapon qualification. Can you not read the numbers and just admit your error or at least leave the thread. This thread is about information. Cold hard numbers. Not how cool you think you are in PVP.

80% Armor....geesh that stuff is for kids....even my 82-83% armor is poor on Chilastra.....


Like I said, the numbers don't lie....you can give opinions all you want, but actually weapons from Wanderhome were used in the numbers along with the actual resources available on Wanderhome....coming there for testing is quite pointless when we have ALL THE FACTS.


Take the facts and do with them what you will.....they are here for all to use or not, doesn't make me any difference.

Just had a 20 minute duel with a pikeman yesterday, i used both guns for half the fight. He was wearing a psg, and i was hitting him for 150-200 through armor with the dxr6, and 150-300 through armor with the laser carbine.

Laser carbine had a damage of 170-420, as opposed to the dxr6, which is around 206-296. They both had the same damage slice. As you can see, even with its higher min damage, the laser was still doing more damage, just because of its crafted superiorness (is that even a word?).





Lets compare Matchew's Carbines so everybody sees the difference to what Novamarine had on Wanderhome:


With 85% Comp, Ranged Mitigation 3 and WITHOUT PSG, a Wanderhome DXR6 does63.6 DPS speed capped with CripplingShot, whereas a Laser in the same situation does77.3 DPS.


With 85% Comp, Ranged Mitigation 3 and40% Energy PSG, a Wanderhome DXR6 does63.6 DPS speed capped with CripplingShot, whereas a Laser in the same situation does46.4 DPS.


With 85% Comp, WITHOUT Ranged Mitigation 3 and WITHOUT PSG, a Wanderhome DXR6 does70.6 DPS speed capped with CripplingShot, whereas a Laser in the same situation does103.8 DPS.


With 85% Comp, WITHOUT Ranged Mitigation 3 and40% EnergyPSG, a Wanderhome DXR6 does70.6 DPS speed capped with CripplingShot, whereas a Laser in the same situation does62.3 DPS.




So basically if that Pikeman had a PSG, then your DXR6 would do more DPS.....but of course your Laser is nowhere near made with basic components, but the DXR6 is....that is a FACT from the Min/Max Damage you listed vs. Novamarine's guns.


The Apples vs. Oranges thing you are pushing is what I don't want the Carbineer Community mislead by.

It's not a question of ego - I'm just trying to mathematically understand how what you're saying is possible. I'm glad you tested it out against a Pikeman though - the fact that you're challenging what we are saying is a good thing.I urge you to try it againsta Master Carbineer, Master Rifleman or Master Pistoleer, though.


Simply have them equip their armor and a PSG.. they can peace if you want.. and compare the damage of a base dxr6 and a base Laser Carbine. Go buytwo basic non-slicedweapons if need be. It's very important that both weapons are the "best" base they can be.


Try it out. I guarantee you may be surprised, heh. I know I was.. I was like: "wth.. that's impossible, the dxr6 sucks! And then I looked into thedamageNOTon my combat log BUT on the one of my opponent. This is veryimportant as well.


That day, I contacted the very best smith on our server and got myself a dxr6 made.

Figured you wouldnt accept, so i rest my case.


did you also take in effect the percentage of people that dont wear psg's? i guarantee its a hell of alot higher than you think it is.







I would love for you to explain whyyou are comparing an obviously Krayt, Stocked Laser Carbine vs. a non-Krayt and non-Stocked DXR6 and how that is fair? What amongst all of this would give me or anybody else any reason to come to you on Wanderhome?


Of course there may be fewer people wearing PSG's on Wanderhome and that is fine, but I RAN THE CALCULATIONS FOR THAT SCENARIO. Try to think of the bigger picture for all people on all servers....

Well, since I started this mess, I figure I'd tall you what I got made:


I used 9 x +40 tissue with -.771 speed (nice speed huh? - paid 2.6 mil for em) and 2 x form fitting stocks. Got one Laser and one DXr6 carbine made.


The laser is 2.5 speed and the dxr6 is 2.7 speed. Both unsliced. My trusted slicer hasn't been on for a while.


Damage on the dxr6 is 259 and the laser is 360ish. Both have high accuracy (really good scopes) and condition in excess of 1100. My WS has his FS crafting branch done - hehe


So that's the update and thanks all for your help too.

This is exactly why i said compare wanderhome weapons. my 420 max laser is NON-KRAYTED, its a base, just like the dxr6. And you said get a dxr6 and laser that are comparable in damage. Thats the thing....they arent comparable. Lasers are much higher in damage, and the min on both isnt very far apart. Just the fact the laser is medium ap skyrockets it above the dxr6.


Now i may be wrong, the way you calculate mitigation is you take the difference between the min and max damage, multiply that times .6, then subtract that answer from the current max damage, and thats what it is on a mitigated opponent?


If thats the case....296-206=90, 90*.6=54, 296-54=242, therefore 206-242 on a mitigated opponent


laser....420-170=250, 250*.6= 150, 420-150=270, therefore 176-270, so a possibility for a lower damage, but also a higher.


With the medium ap, it would make the damage on the gun go to 220-337, because of the added 25%. now again, i may be wrong, so please correct me.


Now yes, if they are wearing a psg, it would make the dxr6 better, but only minimally. This would make the laser carbine better in 3 of the 4 sitations you mentioned earlier. Not all guns are crafted equally, so im just showing you wanderhome guns.

Pardon me, but no "base" Laser Carbine in ANY Galaxy has min damage of 170.....no how, no way.....


Granted, Krayt Tissue doesn't affect the min damage, but something is seriously fishy here.....




For anybody else still reading this crapfest, I appologize for ever responding to THIS....

If you guys honestly think a dxr6 is worth anything, then come challenge my character, Ahriman, to a duel on Wanderhome. I use a base damage sliced laser carbine, and everytime someone comes at me with anything but a laser, they are punished, and punished hard

Its people that use dxr6 carbines that give carbineers a bad name.




I knew it was a Black Hole I could never escape from....../bonk self

mm my...non carbineer input:


step one...is speed important?


yes: regular barrel

no: advanced barrel


the "normal" barrels are faster but have


stop two accuracy:


I scope experimented for accuracy get's up to +42 at ideal range... add the +15 from the formfitted stock and you've already got a accurate carbine



mmm just wondering does'nt AP2 and AP3 punch right through PSGS?


My buddy uses a laser 4.0 133 533 (appr.) w/ pup...it's on of his best.....this is just a massproduction carbine WITHOUT special loot, jiust a good damage slice


Now, the standard Heavy (=with crafted stock) Laser carb on our server just hit 3.9 85-320 +52@ideal

with a 35% slice thats 115-432 add a pup and you get 133-575


point I'm trying to make: sometimes you're a lot better off buying a couple of crates of standard weapons and get an excellent slice...then to put loads of cash into a custom job...and get the wrong kinde slice (or not high enough to pass this level)
