70ish i do ok with
with booster + blob i rarley ever get low
if i do get that low i just disarm shot or stopping shot and chill for a few seconds and its back full again

If I had a character on Gorath, I would buy Pistol 2 from you just so I could destroy it.

are you saying that because it is good?

so #2 is the better choice?

i think he's sayign that cause 2 is not good... but to clerify... can you post stat's BEFORE puping occurs?

if those are stat's AFTER PUP's then 2 does deserve to be destroyed.... that orignal sac must be horendous to pup it down to that

If a SAC pup takes it down to -70 then I assume it has monstrous SAC, 90+, and therefore should be destroyed.

Would you destroy this one? Of course giving me back the ADK after.

I'd make you a nice65 SAC, 880 Max damageGorax FW FWG5 and you can put your kit on that.

We are in a very unfortunate situation where there is only really one gun worth using, the FW FWG5. The only other one you will need is an energy gun, and the DL44XT covers that.

This man speaks the truth. There are rare exceptions of other types of pistols that can compete, but they are just that : Rare. In the end, a nice FW-FWG5 or a DL are amazingly easy and inexpensive to make. And with pre-CU components, they are simply stunning.

This isnt too far different from Carbineer though. Carbineers will use either an E11 or an Elite (they have identical speed, SAC, and damage caps). There really are not any other carbineer weapons worth making. Oh there are BH-certed carbs, but neither the Czerka nor the Proton Carbine can match the performance of an E11.

I agree that it would be nicer to have more choices for weapons once you get to master. As a Master Pistoleer who also happens to be a Master Carbineer, I would love to have more choices. But until then I wont waste my time on any pistols other than the DL and the FW-FWG5.

The one benefit to all this is that anyone can own a double capped FW FWG5. Gorax are quite easy to farm until you get some good shards.

I've kitted out my guild with Gorax FW FWG5's, pre-CU it would be quite hard to hand out top of the line guns to everyone.

I have some +97 gorax bones from pre-CU, will give a little experimentation on my WS toon, I did sell a 71 SAC FWG5 a few weeks ago.

Well I did some experimenting, 2.29 308-745, 11 ACC and 65 SAC before slice, I did one using a +87 bone that turned out 2.28 335-825, 11 ACC 73 SAC, and a scatter (I forget krayt tissue stat) 2.2 319-813 10 ACC 74 SAC.

Are those a bit better? experimented 9 or 10 points into SAC on sub componments then 2 points into damage then 6 points into SAC and rest on damage on final product, or some variant like that.
