How's this for some Damage Per 10 Seconds Calculations:


Fast: 315-800


Damage: 219-561


I think the choice is obvious.

It depends on your stats. Even with HAM costs that low, a fast carbine will still chew through your health.

Hi! I've got 2 DH-17's, once is sliced for more speed, another for more damage. Here are the base stats for the carbine, followed by fast then dmg. Which should I choose, the onethats faster, or the one thats more damaging. Which should I take?


Base DH-17 : 63 - 160, 2.6, 26/28/14


Fast one : 63 - 160, 1.9, 26/28/14


Damaging one : 73 - 187, 2.6, 26/28/14


I was suggestedthe fast one bytheSlicercause theHAM is exceptionally low, which makes it O.K. Perhaps not. What say you?


Thanks

speed tricks most people that uses carbines. if they get their gun too fast, the high cost of HAM will kill them. but if you can open attack with a few specials fast at first you should kill most anything before they get too close.

Yippy! Just the thought makes me giggle like a little school girl.

The 10 second cycle calc was a nice comparison.



Here's another,


Your "damage" carbine has about a 15% increase in damage (I'm doing that in my head so who cares if it's exact or not) over the other one.



Your "speed" carbine has a roughly 25% increase in speed over the other one.


As far as improvements go, the speed boost is better too.


So you have two votes for speed now.

Once master, I think damage is all that matters.


I have master carbineer and BH carbine 1-3. I have 2 laser carbs, 1 with 2.7 speed and 1 with 4.0. I dont notice any difference in speed at my level. Go with damage once your fairly high up.
