I look at my combat window to determine what damage I am doing.

Should I be looking at the floaty numbers instead?

I primarily use a DX2, and all the talk about RB being a better weapon got me thinking....

There are more factors that go into a "good" weapon than just damage. The Rep Blaster has decent damage but its range mods are fantastic.

And yes, use the floaty numbers because combat spam lies.

Combat spam = base damage
Floaty numbers = actual damage after armour and resist is taken out.

I dunno about you, but I could never read the floaty damage, no matter what it was set on. I just shoot at it till it's dead.

Floaty damage is crap in my opinion.

if u can read the floaty numbers then do it but i cant...

take in effect what you are shooting...protection and armor has a big effect...I was shooting seething bol crushers with medium armorand using dx2 and RP and getting hardly any damage to them so I switched to fwg5 with no ap and killed them like flies..Koonta

I try to watch the floaty damage, but my pet specials get in the way so it's hard to see

Needs to be an option to move all that stuff to the combat window:

You use Fan Shot on Slinking Voritor Hunter and hit for 890/1100 points of damage!
You use Fan Shot on Slinking Voritor Hunter and hit for 590/890 points of damage!

First number is actual, 2nd number is total.

I don't see why they can't code that.

Yeah - I tried to read the floaties last night. Can't see them.

You may have them turned off in your interface. There is a checkbox somewhere.

Or is it that you shoot too fast to be able to read them?

Koonta thats because seethings are vulnerable to heat based weapons. The FWG5 is a heat weapon. Each animal has its on strengths and weaknesses. If you were a scout you could see these weaknesses with /exam. I carry a FWG5 , Republic blaster, scout blaster, abd DX2 all the time. Retiring my scout though since I rarely use it since I bought my republic.

I can't see my floaties because there's a mix of numbers and -body hit-/-leg hit- or whatever and they don't seem to float up, just overwrite each other.
