Thread: DX2 is king
I'll back you up on this. my dx2 does miss more than my fwg but my republic blaster misses more than my dx2.....
most people don't like the dx2 because you have to get in pointblank range for it to be 100% effective and not miss 6 out of 10 times. I only had that problem when I was a novice. since I've become a master...I don't have accuracy problems. I still might miss 2 or 3 times our of 10....but when with the speed of my dx2, the armor peircing, everything is vulnerable to acid minus a handful of exceptions, the damage it does.....1 hit from it is equal to 2 hits from a FWG in my opinion. The dx2 damage is very very rarely lowered due to resist and armor. Only a resist of 40% or more and/or a armor rating of medium will the dx2's damge output be less than any other pistol in the game.
Sure it's accuracy sucks....if your at 30 meters.....that's why your suppose to move in.....it's a pistol...not a rifle....
The republic blaster accuracy sucks between about 5 and 60 meteres, but I don't see anyone complaining about that.
Also, you can't just go by the number next to the targets name....if you did then that number would indicate that we would miss all the time and we would have to be in ideal range everytime to score a hit, but we all know that's not true. I just look at it like a roll of the dice. if that number next to the name says -20. THen that just means my chances are lower for scoring a hit, but yet I still have a chance to hit for maximum damge every shot.....it all depends on the final roll of the numbers.
Dx2 is fine...but it will be a thing of the past when the new guns go live.....well, unless they revamp it and juice it up a little....namely the range modifiers which by the way is just 1 part of how accurate you are.
your aiming ability, your stance and whether you or your target are moving hold much more weight than the range modifiers of your weapon......otherwise how could you justify aweapon being as accurate from 50m as it is from it's best ranger modifiers....if range modifiers were the sole factor in determining how accurate a gun was then we would miss all the time with any weapon when we are not in it's best range.
my fwg5s are
65-288 1.0 second without power up
63-323 1.2 second without power up
I have yet to see a dx2 that could even come close not to mention I hit 75% more with the fwg5 then I do a dx2.
my backup unsliced non powered up fwg's are 65-212 1.7 second which is still better then most dx2s that are sliced.
Comparing our skills to other classes and their special weapons we should have a much better pistol then what the dx2 currently is. I honestly believe they leave it because basically most people get 0031 for stoppingshot and pistolmeleedefense and then thats it. Adding a great pistol to the need to only dabble in a class would mean some even higher powered mixes out there. Which pretty much says they dont have a clue how to fix it so they just leave it be and drag us along on a bunch of empty promises that they are working on it.
DX2 is a POS in PVP, It has great uses in PVE sure..
If you think Dx2 is king of pvp your a moron..
Only 2 classes i want to get within 8 meters of is a Rifleman and carbineer
the rest i need to Kite at 60 meters.. and the Dx2 cant hit **edit** at 60 meters while im running with a -70 accuracy penalty vs there ranged defence and the fact that there running..
Meanwhile the rep blaster with 138 min damg (mine with power up) has 0 accuracy penalty at 60 meters.
THE FW is only king of armorless people.
spam fan shot on sum1 with 70-80% composite hit for 12 dam lol..
Most of the time i find myself just **edit**ing standing around while people are shooting at me and laughing at them why they kill themselves faster than I kill them in my 82% composite (those that cant do mind damage)
