Krayt tissue easier than gorax. Scatter looks cooler

Talking about the same resources used.


Their Min dmg, SAC, speed seems pretty identical.


But FWG have higher Max. dmg.


Can someone please enlighten me?

more people hunt krayts so there is a higher number of high dam krayt tissues out there.

Well, from my point of view, scatters are easier to make becuase the tissues are plentiful whereas the bones for fwg's are usually double or triple the price of tissues or there aren't a lot of them around. At least on ahazi, when I do a server wide vendor search on both gorax bones and krayt tissues....I see less than a half a page of bones and more than 5 pages of tissues.


Then when I go loot them myself, I usually get tissues at 4x the rate that I do the bones. My last 30 gorax kills only got me smuggler loots or nothing. My last 10 krayt kills got me 4 sets of tissues (3 of them over +100 damage).


So i can make higher damage scatters quicker and easiery than fwg's. Even when I make gorax fwgs for sale, the scatters still sell faster though. Might have something to do with there being lots of BH's and not many master pistoleers too.

I, being a smuggler, don't use a FWG5 but a Renegade Pistol, if I was BH I'd use the HC Scatter. Of course getting a better FWG5 is an easy task and I am worse than I could be but the Renegade is my profession's special weapon.
I just like the fact that I use a smuggler-gun, so maybe that's why people use HC Scatters: They want to use the pistol that they "unlocked" with their Master BH title.

(I admit that it is kinda silly form a pure number crunching perspective )

HC scatters are now kinetic weapons, unless you used a looted scope that changes the type of damage.

Duly noted. I'll be sure that if I fight any BHs I do it in Battle armor and not Recon.

primus layered battle is better anyway, get it sliced for 75% armorbreak, when you get hit in the head with a hammer, you will thank me.

Besides what else are you going to do with all those storm trooper skulls except make a bone armor helmet?

In my experience (when i was a MBH / MPistoleer) is that alot of pistoleers and other ranged professions like to couple with BH. And being as HC scatters are common people pick it up as they can use it.

If they're fighting Jedi I don't see why they'd prefer the Scatter (Energy Weapon) over the FWG-5 (Kinetic). But to each their own.
