There have been situations where my Tangler was better than my sliced FWG5. NPCs with high resists to everything, but vulnerable to Stun damage. It's still makes for a slower fight, but it's faster than using a gun that's getting it's damage resisted to nothing. Heck, even a Striker can be useful against Kinetic vulnerable mobs with high resistances to everything else.

I've got a DX2 and a FWG5. Both made by one of the top weaponsmiths of my server. I haven't heard of anyone whoe can make better DX2's better then him. My DX2 is 9x-154dmg 2.9 speed. That's with a 30% slice to dmg. My FWG5 is 56-212dmg 2.0speed and that's with a 18% dmg to slice. Kidn've obvious choice except against mobs that resist heat.

that's a horrible dx2

mine was 91-145 unsliced 2.4

it is now 119-191 2.4, but 1.8 with the 50 stocked 26% weapon speed couplers i use.

For comparison mine are:

FWG5: 76-176, 1.9 after a 23% damage slice.

DX2: 99-176, 2.6 base. 114-206 (approximately, give or take 1 or 2 pts) after 28% damage slice. With powerup it's 145-264.

Two weapon smiths were making them this week on my server. The other smith was making them at with lower damage but faster speed (2.3 instead of 2.6).

Best base stats on Flurry are 94-149 2.4spd. Once they start making them in the 170 max dmg range.. theres no way I'm ever going back to the FWG5 unless the mob has fantastic acid resist. (:

A well built DX2 hands down providing the target is same resist to heat and acid. The AR1 makes such a difference. Always look at the numbers leaving the MOB's head, NOT the ones in your combat screen. Course the ideal range for the DX2 is like 2m. I seem to miss more with it from distance.

A quick test I did on worrt's roughly 20 shots from each gun. FWG5 max hit 470, DX2 max hit 710.

i use all three, the DX2 have only just started to show up on valcyn and there not to i guess 2.3spd 84-133dam. i also asmentioned by afew above check the resists on my targets and use the gun that best suits my needs.
