/agree. I found the same thing. My dx2 does more and I am hoping the scatter will be better if I can just get this dang scout done... man I hate traps...lol..

I saw a geo which had the same unsliced stats as my craptastic tangle for over 500k recently. The tangle cost me ~7k, including the slicing cost. I don't think I've used my tangle at all though (I use my striker more 
)

Well - the reason for the death of the Tangle is the Geo.... With Geo's only selling for a couple ofthousand each nobody will spend more on a Tangle.... Don't belive me - I recently put a load of base ones up on the forums for 5k each - none of them shifted - thus must be worth 2k ish each.

Wow... the economies on other servers are weird. I see low end crafted Geos on Chili for around 400K... but a nice one, with over 300 damage, crafted with Red cubes, yellow cubes, or Krayted will cost you anywhere from 800K, to upwards of 1 Mil, unless you happen to loot the right parts, and the Schem, and have a good WS. But to run out, and buy one just ain't cheap. As far as tangles are concerned, I don't even see them on Vendors anymore, except for the vendors of Novice WS's, who built them to play around while grinding. *SHRUG* Guess it's just about which one does more DPS. Of course... they'd all be better if the profession weren't broken. Too bad I didn't look here before I started it, instead of finding out as I got new specials...

a good Geo from 200-500 stats anywere in there is worth over 500k easily mine is after slice is max 422 cost me 600k and it is well worth it..Even with PSG and Stun armor I hardly loose in PvP ... Im a Master Pistoleer with BH 0340 ... Tangles are old school and useless in pvp no comparison to a Geo much much better ...
If anyone whants to test Ill test my Geo pistol with any other pistol.

Well maybe my geo at 280 is just too weak. My dx2 is about 400 with powerup. What server you on.

base crafted geonosian sonic pistols are between 220-230 max damage on my server and about 2.7 speed. these sellfor about 200-400k depending on the weaponsmith. noobs who open loot shops for merch xp and stuff usualyl dont have a clue taht their geos are any different, since because they are able to camp the geo cave... they are obviously not pistoleers and probably know nothign about them in the majority of cases. crafted geos can be enhanced by krayt tissue, the same as other pistols useng blaster power handlers. they take 5 identical tissues and 2 identical cubes to make (1 cube is optional but your an idiot not to use it) my best current personal geo, is a poorly slcied one made using some super expensive super uber +99 -1.0 tissue, and powered up is 1.6 speed and 569 max damage, to my knowledge it is the thrid best on my server, with the two better than mne using nearly identcal tissue to what i used, but with maxed stat yellow cubes and mildly faster exceptional loot krayt tissue (+102 - 1.4 or something) and they both got better slcies, theirs are abuout 630ish and about 670 or so. regardless, i find the pistol is completely useless against peopel wearing stun armor so in those cases i pull my 516 mod republic (+92 tissue 31% damage slice). due to the stats and number of tissues used in my gun alone on my geo, its probaly worth something between 10-20 mil. legitimately. these loot delers seling base 102 stats ones for absurd prices are only trying to match the crafted prices adn either take advantage of the "geo craze" and hope peopel dont look at teh stats before they buy or honestly dont have the slightest idea what they are worth. Typically, i give any gun that ive looted there that was sub par to what i persoanly prefer to use (40% pot, 130 str dot's are the lowest i will carry personally), away most of the time for free.
