Thread: Well guys, No more complaining about the scatter, its now worse then the DX2.
Not a flame or a rant, just an informational post....
My Scatters went from 117-184 1.9 to 112-146 2.2
Pre-patch VS post patch.....
In comparison, current build DX2's (Made by a WS who can make 117-186 1.9 scatters) are 106-165 2.2 speed.
135 DPS (DX2) 20/42/20? (Dont quote me)
129 DPS (Scatter) 18/51/18
The only diffrence now is the scatter is slightly more accurate at a distance, while the DX2 is more accurate up close, and the DX2 is better on HAM usage. In other words, the scatter now sucks, and the DX2 is now the new "king" of pistols (Sad isnt it?)
Actually the republic blaster is far better than the dx2 by over 40 points ROFL
Fury
wether the scatter or dx2 is better post-nerf is irrelevant now because the republic blaster seems to be better then both now and everyone can use them.
/throws acid resistant comp helm across the room
Scatter 112-146 2.2 18/51/18 -39 (point blank) +28 (7 meters) -89 (64 meters)
DX2 108-165 2.2 23/42/15 +20 (point blank) -21 (8 meters) -90 (64 meters)
DPS Comparison....
Scatter=129 (DPS) Action per torso shot 63
DX2=136 (DPS) Action per torso shot 54
Very true gunner!!
Going to grab some republic blasters now, and save my pre-patch scatters until they are a suprise in PvP 
. Or sell them down the road, should I choose to give up BH all together 
[email protected]= 106+165= 271/2=135.5 base attack value. Add in the auto-fire 1.5*135.5=203.25
at a 2.2 speed rating you get 5 attacks in 11 seconds without any class mods.
So thats 5*203.25=damage over 11 seconds, so dived by 11 to get DPS
5 * 203.5 = 1016.25 / 11= 92.386 dps on the DX2
using the same formula that gives the new scatter 87.954 dps. My numbers agree that it is now no better than the dx2, but at just over 4 dps it's hardly a hands down victory.
The real decider between these 2 guns is the range mods. I know very little about being on the grip side of a scatter, but the dx2 is by far the least accurite pistol I have access to.(you ever see a positive range modifier on a scatter? I rarely see 1 on the DX2)
I may be missing something here, in which case please educate me.
The new uber pistol is the power5 or the republic blater. I'll be holding on to my pre-nerf tangle, at this rate it will be very good soon.
I think thats the decider.
Woops your right bwary, I *ment* average damage on the pistols, not DPS, sorry hehe very very early and no coffee....
The accuracy mods are not that huge a diffrence, in the end, where most combat takes place 30 meters or so, They are the *same* accuracy.
Also, the DX2 requires about 10 less action per shot...
I would say, higher DPS, less action, makes the DX2 the hands down winner 
....
Dont get me wrong, the gun still sucks, but it is now the *best* pistol out there, save for the republic blaster...
With no mods
93.1 (DX2) (+5 damage on average, and 10 lower action cost)
88.2 (Scatter)
DX2 is a better gun now, IMO....Higher DPS with less action cost.....
For the bounty hunters, at speed cap....The DPS is
204 (+10 damage on average 10 lower action cost)
194
Sorry redone, using the correct terminology, thank you again Bewary ....
Yes, Riflemen...this was a "Rfileman Love Patch" if you ask me....their "ennemies" are nerfed a lot while they never miss anything in the same patch and still hit once per second for 10 times our dmg, great.
I feel balanced...
Pistoleers don't have the speed they need to compete in combat with the DX2.
Also, the DX2 misses A LOT.
God, those damages suck.... and thats supposed to be a higher schematic than a FWG5?
I guess I am spoiled by my 70-270 1.8(or is it 1.4) FWG5
I'm scared to use up its lifetime warrenty now. 
Going to much lower high end damage, and huge speed increase.... ugh
Should have stocked up, lol.
