What do people recomend for PvP or PvE situations?

I guess one is a 1-2 shot situation and the other is Damage Per Sec situation...

mmmm.. really depends on where you are in the profession. If your master, or atleast Mercenary, i'd say go with damage in either situation. Otherwise, just split it with a damage or speed slice, with an opposing powerup.

I think I heard at 2.5 speed, master carbineers fire at a shot a second (the cap).

Speed, baby, speed. Don't worry about the lack of damage, keep the target off balance (and preferably off his feet) and let the DOTs, pets, troops, friends, etc, do the hard work. I'm creeping towards master with a DH17 that I can get down to 1.1 speed and its murderous to face off to. ChargeShot1 at those speeds is utterly and completely abusive to my target and all but irresistable.

I used to be a big damage slice fan.. but no.. it's all about speed.

The speed in the weapon stats in an absolute value, not an average, therefore making the gun higher DPS. Not to mention, the lower the weapon speed, the quicker special delay is.. so yeah, always speed.

But if you were going for a 1-2 shot pvp situation, you would slice for Damage and add a damage power-up correct?

Yeah 2.5 is the magical number for master carbineer guns to hit the cap ... our whopping +60 at master speed mod takes off 1.5 speed off a gun.

Unless you can find some tapes or plates, which should be funtional real soon. it is insane that Master Rifleman can fire a 7.5 speed gun at 1 second
