problem i noticed with the converted featherweight FWG5 is that it stil has a +5 mod to both dodge and counterattack. as far as i know, those mods are no longer in the game. So i think in the end the devs are going to write code to remove them andmay replace them with melee and ranged defense mods. If they do that they probably gonna look at its damage cap. If they reduce it, it hope it wont be much since its a tier 4 pistoleer weopon.
I have one gorax bone shard left. i am gonna get a featherweight FWG5 made and hold onto it and see how it converts. The gorax bone shard is 53 damage, so i think it puts the damage around just over 200 if a 12-pt master weopons smith makes it.
Question is should i slice it now? Or wait after the CU is live. Slicing in test center is bugged so not sure what ill do. Also I think having a powerup on itfactors into the conversion formula. I dont think they are accounting for a power up. So im gonna put powerups on all my pistols and see how they convert.
P.S. always hoping for a damage slice.

Some guns seem to be big "winners" and some "losers" so far.
Winners:
DE-10

Tangle
DX2
Losers:
Everything else, lol.
I'lledit this laterwith some hard numbers later on but for now here are some loose generalizations.
I have/had a full set of krayted pistols, the DX2's came out the best of all of them, easily outshining my DE-10's ( some by as much as 50-75 DPS).
My pre-nerf Krayt FWG was not treated kindly, coming out only moderately better than a standard crafted fwg, but OMG, my spider fang featherwieghts. They came out beautifull. One has more than a 1000 point top end. 4 digits in the max damage!!!!! on a pistol!!!! I almost wet myself. It's only slightly worse than some of the crafted t21's in my guild and has no skillbox cert, only a combat level req. I can't imagine how nice some of those gorax FWG's would convert.
I have a feeling that won't last.
Considering the time, cost, and effort that goes into getting a DE-10 (even more if you put some quality Krayt tissues in them), I'd say the fact that they're getting "easily outshined" by DX2's makes them a loser, not a winner.

I now have a DE-10 schematic and a Yellow Barrel. Considering how the conversion for weopons are, should i build one now and how much should i invest in krayt tissues. I have minimum 30 base damage tissues right now. what would be the minimin tissues would you throw into a DE-10? 80 damage? Or maybe wait til the CU is live and build it then?
The good resources the weoponsmiths use today probably be garbage in a month. Weoponsmiths probably have to spend alot of time to find new resources.

had mine converted on CU-Chimeara this weekend
DE-10 pre. CU with 445 dam. unpupped,got a mod. DPS of 464.
2 modified blasters got a equal DPS of 460.
Im at work atm. so cant remember stats on the blasters, but they were normal ones, allthough with a 34% damage slice.
Both my 2 geos with 150-280 dam. got terrible DPS after conversion.

So does it add in power ups, or is it purely off base damage?

Help!!! What are powerups... i don't understand. Can ayone use them? Are they like CAs and AAs?
What is DPS? Is it damage per second? Is that (min+max)/2/(attack speed)?
Also, does this mean I can't use my DX2 anymore unless I MASTER pistols? How can I master BE, CH AND Pistols?
CU should equal more skill points!

My de-10 has 679 max dmg with p/u (510 w/out). So far from the above posts it looks like she will convert nicely. But as someone said earlier, it's not enough to counter the time/cost to get one. Considering I paid 7 mil + an ADK for it...for a Radiant grand total of approx 25 million, i'll be upset if my dx2's get the better end of the deal
