My vibro's ham use is 11/22/11. So I use it against high-ham/high resist/armored targets cuz the fight will last pretty long (and I want to be able to last in the fight).

if the fight lasts longer than 10 minutes I am not going to win it alone, and I never do anything unbuffed and without spice any more so there you have that, plus I like to eat, but my character never gains a pound!!!

Yeah it's very lame that our most damaging weapon is an F'N stick from the basic brawling line. I guess swordsman have it worse, their class specific weapon cert is a hammer.... Don't get me wrong, the gaffi stick is an excellent weapon, especially when you get your speed mods up, in fact, as a fencer 2/4/4/4 and pistoleer 4/0/0/0 I can solo crystal hunters with little risk (ok ok that's not entirely true, I have master brawler for warcry 2 and I have a bunch of BEed clothing that boosts my warcry skills to a point where it sticks 1 out of every 2 times) Thing is though, if the initial warcry doesn't stick, I'm a goner. I shouldn't have said anything, they're probably gonna nerf warcry 2 sooner or later.

Gaderffi stick is the most powerful weapon as far as raw damage goes. The vibroblade is cool but it seems to do less damage than my gaderffi against light and medium armor mobs. I just got a jagged vibroblade from the reble themepark (Jan Dodonna gave to me as a reward).....it has some good mods on it (don't remember them off-hand), extremely low HAM, good range modifiers, average speed but the damage is probably as low as the weaker pistols in the game. it's max damage is only 90.

anyway, the only weapons I use now are my Gaderffi stick and my stun baton. I just bought a new Gaderffi last night with that's about 2.5 speed and max damage is 333. I beleive the minium damage is in the low 100's. I haven't used it yet but I know it's gonna be great. My previous Gaderffi was 3.5 minimum 100's and maximub 260 (damage sliced) and I could do well over 2k damage with it....so I expect my new one to possibly reach 3k damage. I do have a couple of skill tapes attached that give me some extra 1 hand damage too.....that could be a factor.

Stun baton is a great weapon because like the dx2 pistol most everything in the game including other players don't have defense against it or if they do it's not very high. rarely will you find somethin with extremely high stun def. only problem I keep having with my stun batons is that I keep getting speed slices I can't get a damage slice to save my life.....and at master with 1 hand speed mods, I don't need any speed slices.

how did you get a gaffi with 333 max damage? On my server highest produced ones are 222 max damge with a 35% damage slice that is 299.7 which is 299 damage or 300 not sure

He's probably including powerups, mine does over 300 damage with a powerup, can't remember what it does without powerup though.

If you're in kettemoor, check outa shop on Rori just north of narmle. I just picked up 3 gaffis 3.5, (guessing on the minimums) 135-276, HAM isn't outrageous. 7000 each I believe. Also got 3 Vibros from him at the same price, 2.6 speed, 110-176, really low HAM (I believe 11/22/11). When I get them sliced (I got 3 so hopefully I get at least 1 damage, 1 speed sliced) I'll post what the stats are.

The waypoint is -5364 -1479 in the basement of the TLC PA hall.
