Did some testing tonight with a friend of mine. He is a master rifleman and im a master commando. We both used acid based weapons. I had my HAR of course and he had his DXR-6B acid rifle.Here are the results of the tests:
TEST # 1:
We attacked 2 separate lairs both with dfferent hams:
Mine: 47742
His: 51574
Dmg rating:
Mine: 467-987 sliced spd. 5.8
His: 191-359 unsliced spd. 5.9
Acc. and speed modifiers:
Mine:+110 acc
+45 speed
His: +160 acc.
+90 speed
Time to destry lair(in seconds):
Mine: 131
His: 127
Avg. damage:
Mine: 364
His:406
TEST # 2:
Used a more powerful acid rifle this time he used the same weapon.
Dmg. 489-1046 sliced spd. 5.8
Hams:
Mine: 51248
His: 48188
Time to destoy lair(in seconds):
Mine: 140
His:118
Avg. damage:
Mine: 366
His: 408
The second test of course I had the higher HAM by luck of the draw and I expected to have a longer time. What is striking though is that the avg damage in seconds is exactly 2points higher on the second test with both he and I. Don't know if this means anything(it's late here lol Im not thinking straight). Btw neither of us used special attacks, we were both in standing position, and we were both at the optimum range for the best damage rating according to the weapon. The advantage for him of course is that he has double the speed and 50 points more accuracy than we do(that was of course obvious). Just something to ponder over. Thought you guys should see this. As far as how I came up with the average dmg. take the HAM of the lair and divide it by the number of seconds it took to destroy the lair.
I've said it before and I will say it again for all the riflemen out there: I hope your profession does not get liquidated because this is the way mods should be when you master a profession. The rewards should be terrific. Right now I feel that your profession is the measuring stick for all the other ranged professions. I just wished that we had some similar advantages for mastering ours. Thanx for reading. It is GREATLY appreciated.
Later
P.S. If my math was incorrect please let me know what your findings were
