510 min damage with 99 elemental would rock, that's what sabers do I think. Now, just needs a full damage slice with speed and a MComm/Mpistols/MMarks/Carb0300 temp with +25 speed and a lot of SAC. That's advanced quickdraw alternating with Leg Shot (and maybe a third if the leg shot cooldown is too bad) for great speed lol. Oh, one points to consider is that Elemental Damage currently equals AOE damage -1 so elemental is worth more damage per point than minimum/max damage for someone who always AOE's (smugglers/pistoleers in PvP) depending on the number of targets engaged.

Yeah...
Reason:
I had two 310 DPS PFTs...one 2.54 spd, the other 2.84 speed. The former was 960ish damage, the latter 1113 damage...both were same DPS because of the speed differences. The latter was more powerful in damage for relatively minor slower speed (think: a tenth of a second...it averaged to 3 seconds per special for both weapons). I use this example quite a bit...because that was when I realized DPS really didn't matter, since it's too "loose". It can flucuate and change depending on the skill of the user.
What I rely on:
Damage and SAC as my main "measure" for determining good FT's
Then speed (too high speed, like over 3...you'll notice a difference compared to the average 2.8-2.95).
DPS alone does not give our weapons justice considering how slow they are right now. If you got one of our weapons to the point where some pistols can get to (like .8 speed) then your damage and/or SAC is going to be REALLY bad...
Plus, another good reason:
Why go for a weapon that might get an extra shot in, when your action bar will deplete within a dozen shots? What if you dont have enough action for that extra 13th shot? My philosophy in regards to our weapons is as much firepower you can pack into the baby with every shot, as our SAC is so high...its more worthwhile than having extra shots, in the long run.
