Thread: My Grievance Striker, best way to slice it

full speed is usually the best dps wise, but since the sac is fairly high in your case I would have gone for the 8/2/3 slice instead, that is: 8% dmg, 2% speed and 3% criticle hit
I havent sliced it yet, I just grinded a new toon, since jedi is boring me, and I am not at all used to non jedi toons POST cu, so I am used to the old system. Random speed or damage slice system.

You'll definately want to slice it like this, then throw a really nice SAC pup on it. Getting a nice sac pup with more than -30% will put you under 70.
I put a full crit slice on my damaged capped elite carbine. Then again I am MBH with access to adv crit as a special.
I have not regretted it.

Honestly, speed slices are the most effective at dealing damage over time. I'm a MS/MCarb and I sliced my spec ops bola for speed...you actually do more dame over a period of time with the speed slice than you do with the dmg slice.
That said, the high SAC on this weapon means your going to be chewing through your action bar with a speed slice. As a previous poster mentioned, a good SAC pup might not be a bad idea, but if you are planning on using one, go with the speed slice. If not, go with the damage slice.
The crit slice is one I ONLY recommend if the weapon cannot accept/would not be effective with the other two slices...basically, it gives you a chance of dong double damage, but mathematically just can't increase the actual dps as much as a damage slice can, much less a speed slice.
