I dont know why alot of people would carry DX and laser over DX and e11.

e11 obviously has the best dmg/time.

You guys were saying something about AP2? What is this? I don't know how it fits into the equation.

Do only lasers and elites have AP2?

explanation please?

thanks.

im using dx and elite

elite for more dimage ....dx for speed and pvp (asid thinks)

didn't really explain AP to me, did ya? =)

If your AP is higher than the armor rating of the target you get a 25% bonus to your damage for each point.

If AP is lower, you get a 50% penalty for each point.

Example: a 100 damage shot (not factoring resists)

Laser (AP2) vs medium armor (AR2):100 damage

Laser (AP2) vs light armor (AR1):100*1.25=125 damage

Laser (AP2) vs no armor (AR0):100*1.25*1.25=156 damage

DH17 (AP0) vs medium armor: 100*0.5*0.5=25 damage

DH17 vs light armor:100*0.5=50 damage

DH17 vs no armor:100 damage

That's the reason a laser carbine is usually the best weapon you can find, except against enemies with high energy resist, where a DX2 or EE3 usually perform better if their acid or heat resists are low.

Elite only has AP1 by the way.

For actual numbers, check my dps tool if you like, and you can se the difference between the various carbines:

Typo, I wrote DX2 which is a pistol, instead of DXR6 which is the AP1 acid carbine.
