"Totally missing my point. This wasn't meant to prove our personal balance with yadda yadda. Your a good guy StarNick, keepin the eye on the big picture for us. No this was just some bits of info passed along for someone to possibly use, a pvp trick of sorts. I'm seein if I can work with it and keep the board updated on any progress."


True, I seem to miss a lot with the elemental with the lower weapons as I don't look at them on a daily basis. Last night I took a small glimpse at a few of my old converted stuff, and surpisngly all had very nice elemental (like my old Rocket Launcher has 180). The only problem though is they aren't really an ace in the hole, given that it seems the elemental is only really high on the lower CL stuff. Since elemental doesn't scale up, often times you're getting the elemental bonus and really missing out on the actual damage in some cases (which may or may not help, like if you can only do 300 base in PvP with the ASL but get 200 elemental, thats great, but I can get 600-900 with just base and my 90 elemental with my PFT and I know some guys who can hit for higher in PvP...so is it entirely worth it?). Especially when you consider the elemental resists on armour.

It'll truly be an ace in the hole if our PFT had that 180 heat elemental . But Im not denying it does help a bit with PvP considering that you can Pup it even higher. There is something wrong when you need to go back to a lower level weapon though...but I have a very good feeling that our PFT is getting some love on TC in a bit,

That'd be nice too, but I'd limp along on an advanced disarming shot for 210 every 1.7 seconds.
