Thread: Burstshot1 or FullAutoSingle2?
If Xandor's numbers are correct, then FAS2 is better than BurstShot, if you dont care about HAM costs.
FAS2 = 5.5/1.7 = 3.235
BurstShot = 6.0/2.0 = 3.0
This argument is quite funny. Lets stop the opinions and look at the facts....
The comments from us "regulars" will tell you that the TWO shots you need to level to Master are FullAutoSingle2 and BurstShot1, both gotten by 0010. The reason we say TWO is that FAS2 is the max DPS special before the Speed Cap. BurstShot1 and CrippleShot are close behind at slightly less than 8% lower. The reason BurstShot1 is brought up is when looking at DPS/HAM Cost it is the best shot, not FAS2.
So the facts are use FAS2 buffed and BurstShot1 when not buffed. Once you get higher into Carbineer and have a tank, then look to the AoE attacks of FullAutoArea2 and BurstShot2. Oh and don't forget ChargeShot1/2 ![]()

I say the problem with fas2 is that it has way to much ham cost ![]()

well since you just got burts shot 1 i wont call you a noob since you didnt know...
not all of us can be buffed..not all of us are medics....not all of us have pets
so pretty much burstshot 1 is better than FS2 due to the fact that it does more damage and is much easier on HAM....when you compare specials, dont compare them when you are buffed
not gonna happen with me... LOL
I'm a Doctor, why should I EVER be un-buffed?? ![]()
Buffed, Hitting speed cap, then Burstshot1 as it has a higher damage mod.
Buffed, not hitting speed cap, use FAS2 as its slightly quicker.
Unbuffed - Burstshot1 because of the reduced ham costs regardless of speed!
