Thread: Uber Scatter Seeking Your Slicing Advice

Consider this base pistol:


High Capacity Scatter Pistol


Damage

Base Type Kinetic

Attack Speed 1.91

Your Modified Attack Speed 1.15

Damage 358-945

Accuracy Bonus 63

Wound 31.05%

Estimated Base DPS 341.28/sec

Your Modified DPS 564.04/sec

SAC 66


This is currently unsliced and getting an ADK..... My question is.....


Do I do a full speed slice, or do I go for a damage slice, or a little of both. (I'm not convinced that Critical is even a viable slice)...


What would you do?


Thanks in advance,

You're over the damage slice cap, so that option is out leaving you with critical and speed slices.

Seeing as critical slices are considered unreliable at best, speed is probably the way to go. Although you already have a very low modded speed- you could get a partial crit slice and hope for a fix.

With a damage slice you can up the min damage even though the max will not go higher.


Speed cap is 1.73 so I would lean towards that and then add a damage pup later.

if I remember correctly you don't gain anything after your mod. speed reaches 1s, so maybe you can do speed and crit


nice pistol btw mind telling what components were used?


don't worry about the low min dam. the high accuracy from your template and the impressive 63 acc on the piece wil make sure you always get decent hits (high acc shifts the "avg dmg"of ahit towards max damage)

I'm not sure of the components, though it was made by Dy-Nod on Naritus... Here is the auction thread where I bought it from:

I do mean to ask Dy-Nod what components he used because it is a VERY nice gun. IMHO

considering that ur a MBH/MPist ur probably doing alot of torsoshot/critical shot combos, and thier natural warm up timers is 1.7 seconds or so; it would be pointless to get a speed slice (ur modded is 1.15 already)

Level four speed slice takes that to 1.68, but will cap at 1.72. Level three goes to 1.78.


Use this...

Badger -


GREAT link!!


So.... here's what I tried on your link:



Option #1:
Tier2 Speed AND Tier2 Damage (and I get the following stats):
Speed: 1.83 (+0.08)
Damage 372.32 - 982.80 (+14.32 / 37.80)
Base DPS369.52 (+28.42 / +8.33%)


Option #2:
Tier3 Speed AND Tier1 Damage (and I get the following stats):
Speed 1.78 (+0.13)
Damage 365.16 - 963.90 (+7.16 / 18.90)
Base DPS 374.11 (+33.01/ +9.68%)

Option #3:
Tier1 Speed AND Tier3 Damage AND Tier1 Critical (and I get the following stats):
Speed 1.87 (+0.04)
Damage 386.64 - 1020.60 (+28.64 / 75.60)
Base DPS 375.91 (+34.81 / 10.20%)


Obviously each of these has their advantages.... Is it worthwhile to slice for speed, as my modified speed is lower than the cap? Options 1 and 2 leave me with unused customization 'percentages'. Option 3 is 100% customized, but it's DPS is approximately the same as option 2 but with the added 'Critical' (for whatever that may someday be worth ).


I do hunt Jedi... So, which would you go for Badger? I welcome everones' input as well (of course)!


Thanks,

That program doesn't take into account damage caps. You wont get anything other than min damage boost if you slice for damage.


It's your choice to go for either speed or critical, personally I would go for the level 4 speed slice.

Okay.... I see where you are at with this Badger, but with my Modified Speed already so low (1.15), does a speed slice actually improve anything?

Stick a speed powerup on your gun and find out.

A damage slice will ONLY increase your minimum damage as it is over the 916 slice dmg cap.


I'd go full critical slice.

Critical Slice, speed or SAC PUP, and I hope you are not on Bria.
