Well now that pub 19 is live, the elemental damage is turned on, any pistols that have elemental damage might be worth taking a second look at their viabitly such as the trandoshan suppressor pistol. Which otherpistols have elemental damage? i use a DL 44 just has energy damage and having some gorax featherweight FWG%'s made soon which only has kenitic. Will these top choices of most pistoleers be replaced by any of the elemental damage pistols?
Thoughts? Loot pistols might be alright to use now possibly? I am at work and not able to view image dump pics of all the pistols to judge.
thanks

I could have sworn when I was sighing at the bazaar terminals with my empty wallet that DE-10s have cold element. I may be mistaken though, I sigh alot at the bazaar terminals.

well doesnt sound like pistoleer has alot of elemental weopons. I have a DE-10 and its only energy and not worth using, sac speed and damage are just under par considering all you have togo thruto get one made. I recently looted186 damage gorax bone shards and i am gonna stick to the trustworthy FWG5. I am hoping my local weoponsmith can get the SAC low on it, like around 75 or less, i think the damage on the bone shards will put me close to the damage cap by themselves.
I got a DL 44 with 948 damage and SAC is 94. was made with 188 tissues. I was kinda disappointed that the weoponsmith didnt get the SAC lower but i think they start at a SAC of 105 when made. Its a good weopon if u stick a SAC power up on it. I think FWG5 is the way to go. I wont need a SAC powerup and i go stick a damage power up instead and never run outa action much.
Ill try the quests andget some of those loot pistols with elemental damage and test them out.

My Rep Blaster has acid damage of around 50ish. I wonder if the acid gives a slight chance to blind like in commando weapons

A weaponsmith on Chimeara made me a GoraxFWFWG5 and a Krayt DL44XT with 150 tissues and shards I looted, and made them SAC capped at 65 and around 880 damage.
With the new slicing system I should be able to get them SAC and damaged capped, if not I may need some better loots drops.
With those tissues and bones you have, I'd say SAC cap is a must as they will come out at about 920 Max damage, then you can slice for damage to hit the cap.

The 188 damage krayt tissues have already been used. so i just got these 186 damage gorax bone shards left. I think its alot easier to get to 65 SAC on the FWG5s than the DL 44. Does the intitial SAC start much higher ona DL-44and less onthe FWG5?
So the next question is how much max damage can my pistol be sliced up too? 10 percent 12 percent? I hear those tier 4 slicing components are too rare to make it worth trying to find. I think ill stick with the Tier 3 slice but i have no idea what the percentages are.
I love pistols and will stick with it. Praying for dual-weild one day.

ok, did some researce, max damage cap on FWG5 is 966, the best damage slice is 8 percent at level 3. if they turn out to about 920 like u say then i just need a teir 2 4% damage slice to get close to the damage cap
gonna be a sweet pistol, ill post when its completed.

Heres the one I had made and 8% sliced. I don't know if you can slice past 935.

according to a weoponsmith i know u can get a FWG5 to 966 if crafted and experiemented with the best resources. Since i got 2 of these 186 bone shards i can try one for low sac and a damage slice and the other with max damage and low sac and then speed slice it.when u had that pistoldamage sliceddid it slice less than 8 percent with a tier 3 component? Or did it slice fully 8 percent and u got 935?

It seems like I should have had more damage from the slice, the gun was around 880 max damage, 8% of which is 70.4, but I got more like 55 max damage which is about 6%.
