I was wondering, as i'm getting up the pistol tree, what kind ofpistol i should keep in my bag to adapt to most situations.
I've got a DX2 (acid), Rep blaster (energy) and FWG5(heat) pistol hotkeyed on my bar...but i notice alot of mobs are vulnerable to stun.
I dont have the deep pockets needed to get my hands on a geo blaster, si i guess my only choice there is a tangle pistol...But the only ones i find (though in very good weaponsmiths shops) have REALLY crappy damage (like 68 - 110 or so, unsliced) and are slow like hell :-( Did i miss something or should i really "focus" on getting that geo blaster? Any other gun i overlooked? I could try to save and buy a geo..but again, i dont really want to use that as a grinding weapon..so i'm kindof stuck no?
thanx in advance

well Isoas, i used a tangle for a long time till the nosian came out. after a good damage slice and a min/max damage powerup their not to bad compared to most low end genosians. id quote my old tangles stats, but i cant remember them off hand.if your strapped for cash do what i usta do
buy 4 or 5 tangles, get em all sliced, and pick the best one(2 if your lucky). tangles tend to be one a the cheapest pistols due to all the WS making genosians nowadays. im sure you can find domeone willing to make em for under 5k per.

I would suggest carrying pistols of every type of damage. You never know when you run across that mob that's vulnerable to only one damage. And keep the pistols that get not-so-good slices, as you can switch them out to destroy the lairs. You don't want to wear down your good pistols on lairs. Exceptfor the stunpistols, because you can't damage lairs with stun.

Keep your eyes on your servers trade forums and always check weapons (and other) vendors..
I got a geo from our trade forums for 100k on an auction... and I got another for 10k from a vendor...

That's a very good suggestion on watching the trade boards and checking vendors. In fact, you can probably find a few notices of people with looted items vendors. You can probably find a geo that beats your tangle (at least on damage)at an affordable price. Weapons in the 100 max damage -150 max damage you can probably find without too much of a problem. It is the crafted2.6 speed 220 max damage weapons that seem to break the bank. And that doesn't even talk about krayt enhancements...

acculay at that low of level i woudl suggest getting a tangle or 5 getting them sliced and hope for speed. then carry +ideal range powerups. so you can accualy hit cuz the range mods on tangles suck donkey bits.
