Thread: What are reasonably good stats on a Flame Thrower
So, what, generally speaking, is a good range of dmg to look for when buying a Flame thrower?
Specifically the kind that would be easy to come by at a weaponsmith shop, not necessarily a Krayt or whatever enhanced one (if they even exist) that costs 500,000 creds, but something more reasonable, like 100-200k range or less.
Thanks.
I'd say that on anunsliced flamethrower good stats are around the400-800+ range (that means some where in that areabut not below 400 min damage) and a speed of 5.0 isgood (there are faster flamethrowers)
My good old trusty flamethrower that I've had sencebefore Iwas a NoviceCommando has a 5.0 speed and 550-1000+ damage (after slicing, it was a damage slice) My old flamethrower is getting old (509/958 condition)
Pre-slice my FT was 400-800ish (not ingame so bear with me) and low 4's on speed... got a good speed slice on it bringing it to a killer 3.3....
So, 400-800 4.5 or so should set you up for a good slice... and on Corbantis ya never see em go for more than like 40k, but I have been thinking about getting my WS to make a Krayt one.......
Got a Kryat made FT using +45 max damage -.594 speed kryat tissue. Its starting speed and damage was 3.9 521-887 (because of the tissue,also I might be off on the low end damage I will have to check) and I lucked out and got a 30% speed slice which made it 2.7 speed. Then our +45 speed mod reduces it further and I can happily say this is my number one toy in PvE =). It allows me to apply my 4 flame specials rather quickly. And because I supplied the kryat tissue it only cost me 25k(the running average on Kauri). I can only imagine what it would be like if someone would be able to find and use the -.9 speed kryat tissues I keep hearing about going into pistols. Seesh.
The bread and butter though is my PvP toy with a 34% damage slice. Sure it is slow as all get out(4.6 speed)but the intital damage it does makes few get near me =). One thing you can do is find a weaponsmith with good prices, supply him if you can with resrouces and whatnot, and buy as many flamers as you can. Then find a well respected Master Smuggler and get the flamers sliced. I went through several flamers until I got the 34% damage slice I wanted then resold the rest that were speed sliced ones.
My flame thrower cost me 13 000 + slice cost I think. It was 440-840 4.7 something. Got a speed slice on it so now it's 3.9 speed.
Got a 550-1005 5.0 Flamer too, haven't used that one though.
I have no idea why, but . . .
Last night on the Bazaar a friend found and baught me a sliced flamethrower that was 4.8speed and max damage around 1035. Since it was on the Bazaar it was only 3k. He also picked up a couple disposable weapons. Condition was 856/856 approx.
Don't know why someone put them up on Bazaar so cheap, but there they were.
ok i just had12flamers custom made they came from a master weapons smith as 500 min. damage 818 max damage.
I then had them sliced best damage at 32% was 1058 4.8 sec rate of fire not to shabby.
the best speed was 3.2 secs at 880 damage.
i paid roughly 10k for eack flamer and paid 100 credits per 1% to the slicer, however i did pay the slicer double what he was asking because it was a large order to have sliced as i had about 10 pistols sliced in addition to the the 12 flamers.
