only in pve fwg5 may not be as good, because a lot of bigs mobs have high heat resistance, that Ive seen anyway.
It's either Kimos or Rancors that have 100% heat resistance.
On another note, it sucks that even the best weaponcrafters on my server (only know of one master) aren't maknig weapons near as good as what you all are saying people are making. I'm thinking Tarquinas is a very non-hardcore server, so it is making us really slow compared to other servers 
That and it wasn't up on release day, I moved to it because Bria was having problems. Definitely very few people on Tarq that were also in BETA.
Is this any good now? I have herd they fixed it so it’s a much better weapon. Is this true?
The thing about the DX2 that most people don't mention is that it is AP1, this means that against unarmoured opponents it does 25% more damage than a FWG5. So max damage 200 is actually max damage 250.
It also means that against anything with any armour you can effectivly double its damage when comparing it to a AP0 weapon, notice this makes your max 200 DX2 effectively max 400 against armoured critters, think about it that way.
The other thing is that it does Acid damage, which lots of critters don't have good resistances to.
My DX2 is my favorite weapon...

Yes, but the Republic Blaster is also AP1 and almost always has better stats. To have an unsliced DX2 with max damage of 200 you have to either use Krayt tissue or really really amazing materials. A Republic Blaster with 200 max is pretty run-of-the-mill. And at master, you hardly miss at any range so the range modifiers on the Rep. don't matter that much. I consistantly hit for far more with the Republic than I do with the DX2, even on Energy resistant mobs.
