Thread: Stopping shot or my pistol?
Oh my god, that scatter pistol is godly. Are they all like that? I haven't bothered to check them out, since I can't use them.
The best sliced scouts will have much better speed and the sliced FWG5's will have much better max damage, but that scatter is agreat compromise of both, along with a huge minimum damage.
Sigh, I don't want to turn this into a BH vs Pistoleer thread, but I'm just shocked. I'dnever give up my secondary professions, but I gotta admit that sometimes I get tempted. ![]()
You can just barely break 1000 with Stopping Shot with any pistol that has a max damage of 134 or higher. Base damage is 1.5 times higher and Stopping Shot is 5 times that. So 134 x 1.5 x 5 = 1005 max hit.
1k+ hits would obviously be quite rare, albeit possible,with a 134 pistol.
I have heard claims of stopping shot doing excess of 1k damage. I have even heard 1500. Now i just got it and im a bit dissapointed. I am getting 700- upper 800 on the damage.Is it my pistol? \
It seems like other servers either have better weaponsmiths or betterresources (i think its the resources) But some of the stats I hear you guys talk about are not even close to what I see. 200+ damage with an FWG??? Speed in the mid to low 1's??? Whats going on here. Im on tarquinas (sp) and have been to all the major weaponsmiths and have not come across anything close to that. Any ideas why this is?
The only way to get over 200 damage on a FWG5 is by getting a nice slice. Remember that a good slice can increase damage or reduce speed by 40% or something like that, so having speeds in the low 1s or damage over 200 isn't too hard to get.
On my server, FWG5's damage is over 175, and Scout's speed is 1.6s and that's unsliced. Tack on a 40% boost, and you'll start to get very nice stats.
Anyways, I've gotten over 1k using my sliced scout, so it should be fairly common using a FWG5.
