hello , dont mean to rain on your parade but at first i was equally excited about the geo blaster . however the major disadvantage of this weapon is the fact that its ap 0 . what this essentially means is that comp armor with even a measly 20% stun layer will block 70% of damage you inflict . 50% gets blocked because of ap 0 weapon vs ar 1 armor , and the other 20% gets blocked to the stun resist . sure at this stage the majority of comp isn't stun layered but as we speak every pvp'er is getting stun layered suits , some as high as 40% stun protection , which means the geo blaster will be blocked 90% . its still probably the best weapon avaiable to us but its no jawa ion which has ap 1 and so is infinately more effective.

just wait till the AP1 stun carbine hits the streets from the new Corellian corvette. Once again out damaged by a nuna, damn kill stealers.

i think your numbers are a bit off.

i fought a guy with a krayt geno and he tore through my stun armor before i knew what was going on.

gratz on the find - dont listen to other peeps

I believe the AP1 only kicks in if it has resists to Stun.

I agree, not having armor piercing is a little disappointing. However as the previous post said, if there is no stun layers in the armor it makes no difference. When your able to Krayt these pistols to 400-500 with damage slices.....I think these pistols are one of the best weapons in the game even with ap0. I have never heard of anyone losing a one on one fight using a 400-500 sonic pistol....and if they ever did it was probably against a CM lol.

the one i got made with 270 max dmg top end ......with a dmg slice works fine ...i am master pistoleer with BH pistol. they eyeshot with this weapon cuts through mind like butter and if they switch to a stun helm and i notice that i am doing **edit** dmg i can change to acid ...but most of the time the geo works.

Your math is wrong but it's a common mistake. Having resistance to stun means the AP1 kicks in. That means if the shot was going to do 100 damage, it now does 50 due to AP. The percentile (20% in your example) is applied after the AP1 effect. That means that 20% is taken off of 50 damage or 10 damage. So a 20% composite results in 60% total damage reduction. I hope that clears it up.

still - one of these baby with krayt and a good slice doing 600 a shot with stopping or last ditch is better than anything else.

even at a 60 percent reduction a lot is getting through every second

well let's put it that way, better than anything else we have

Also the fact that how many people wear full suits of stun?

Anyone who has had their head handed to them by the Jawa Ion rifle repeatedly. Strafe isn't a targeted pool attack.
