Oh yeah, FWG5=200+ on the high end dmg.

DX2=115-135 (nonsliced/sliced)

There are aspects of the DX2 that can be useful, but the gun still needs to be debugged, and then possibly tweaked by the dev's. it needs help.

Hi guys,

Im on Starsider so i havent got the chance for DX2s yet, or, even worst, republic pistols

But so far this is how i use my guns:

For low heat resistant armor, or just tough mobs, ill use my 61-175 1.4(speed sliced) 11-30-17 FWG5

For low energy-resistant armor, or just soft mobs i like to kill on my way to to other places il use my 81-135 1.7 Scout Blaster, need to slice it yet though

Im really looking forward to the devs adding DX2s and especially Republic at Starsider, since right now, im using marksman pistols, and thats not right for a pistoleer I think at master pistoleer we should get certification for all pistols, like the launcher and scatter, since a master pistoleer should be able to use all pistols, cause thats what he is, a master pistoleer

My sliced DX2 is 73-111 2.4 speed.

Honestly fighting against armored opponents, mobs specifically, I find the DX2 to be far better than any scout and superior to most FWG5s available to me on Flurry. Speed not withstanding, and unfortunetly the largish HAM cost to the gun make it ill suited to PvP at this time, but if it ever drops below 2.0, it will be my constant companion.

I am a master pistoleer, bounty hunter pistol 4. I extremely hate speed slices. Speed is a secondary trait at the skill level of master pistoleer, with the bounty hunter pistol 4 skills. If I have a 2.3 speed weapon It still hits the cap. Most of the weapons on Chilastra are well with in 2.3 speed range. If I get a speed slice on a weapon I most likely give it away, or sell it for really cheap. Its all about the damage, armor rating, and type of attack. Scout blasters are not good imo. They don't have the max damage of a fwg5, they are energy based attacks, No armor piercing. It does have low hams, but not much better than a FWG5 wich has a higher max damage and is a heat based attack. I personally use a 127-200, 2.1 scatter pistol. I use a FWG5 for bleeds, a CDEF for knockdowns, and I just finish the mob off with my normal blasts from my scatter pistol

The reasons DX2's suck is not because of their design it is because of the lack of decent iron. Iron is about 50% of the DX2's stats and when the best iron that has spawned has like 400 OQ and 3 Conductivity, you aren't going to get a very good gun. So if a decent iron ever spawns look forward to a really nice gun.

uh DX2's don't take iron they take platinite copper and titanium aluminum.

there are 3 pistols i use and the rest are useless. the scout for low HAM nice damage(72-174 1.6 or something), my FWG5 (rarely 50-200 2.0 or something and im positive it pierces armor), and a DX2(90-140ish 2.3 also pierces armor im sure)

each one i use depending on the scenario resists ap whatever. also I have found DX2 eats through armor durability like mad

I am a Novice Pistoleer on Bloodfin and I do not have all the speed bonuses that the higher level guys do. I have a FWG5 64-180dmg 1.4spd 14.xx wound chance, I also have a DX2 with 90-130dmg 3.0spd and 21.xx of wound chance. Now my big problem with the DX2 is that the thing is too slow without the speed bonuses and if I use specials (ie: HS1, HS2, BS2 which is my normal sequence at the start of a fight) my action pool is gone and I am usually incapped before I can get 2 more shots off and the damage a normal shot does is comparible with my FWG5. Now with my FWG5 I can do the previously mentioned combo and have plenty of action pool left to do a few more BS2 if needed but it usually isn't due to the fact that my normal shot will do as much damage as a BS2 without the time penalty. If I get incapped using my FWG5 it is usually because I got gang raped and didnt see it till it was too late. Until I get the speed bonuses that come with the pistoleer line I will be sticking with my FWG5 and maybe still after that.

I do not do PVP and I have yet to go to a hunting planet such as dathomir for baz nitches, I plan on going to lok as soon as I get my master marksman. I will be doing the BH pistol and carbineer line because I want the best of both worlds..

I just got my first DX2 today and am very happy with how it is performing vs. Heat/Energy resist mobs compared to my Scout and FWG. Can anyone verify if the DX2 has AP1 or not? If it doesn't yet but is supposed to then it will deifnitely be a far superior weapon to Scouts and FWG's vs. anything with armor and/or high Heat/Energy resists. Just my 2 cents.

What about the SRCombat pistol? Has anyone seen one of these?

yeah i'm on starsider, no dx2's for us. WILL SOME1 PLZ POST A SCREEN SHOT OF ONE SO I CAN SEE IT!!! and i love my FWG5, never really liked the scout blaster, i dunno y though. my FWG5 is 44-155 and 1.3 speed. i love the speed on that gun. i need a new one though, looking for higher damage. i think they are going to fix the dx2 and then it will be a much better gun.

I personly like my Scout Blaster 60-122dmg at 1.2speed (sliced)

I have a 1.4 FWG5, 41-178 dmg, with a powerup ive gotten it down to 1.1 spd. with my minor pistoleer speed boosts, i easily hit the 1.0 sec base, but my body shot is still about 1.5-1.7. Great, awesome weapon, only prob is it fires so fast that i have burnt it down by 700 durability in 3 days and can't find anyone to repair it
