I saw this post, Discussion on Weapon AP

As I am reading this, it means that against an unarmored player an AP3 weapon will do no more damage than an AP0 weapon. If this is correct then we simply want to look for a weapon that has the best min and max damage to use, regardless of the AP. Can anyone verify this and does anyone know what type of weapon, regardless of AP has the highest min and max damage?

the only problem with that is every1 wears comp...if u dont, u are a braver man/woman then i am.....

but if u are looking for a gun that has no AP and has high min/max would have to be a sonic blaster

What's happening is the AP damage bonus is only kicking in if the target has some resistance to the damage type. So yes, if your target is vulnerable to the damage type of your weapon (such as when they are unarmored or only wearing armor that doesn't protect against your damage type), then AP doesn't have any affect at all. You may as well only look at the min/max damage. Since jedi never wear armor, AP isn't useful against them. You deal standard damage with no bonus.

As Bimo pointed out however, non-jedi always wear stun layered composite armor with resistance to everything (except lightsaber), so our AP always helps against them.

Im tired but here goes!

AP 3 (a t21 rifle) vs. AR 2 (composite with energy layers)

100 damage shot

since AP 3 is 1 above AP 2 the modifier comes 1 time as this

+25%

125

now had the composite been with (stun layers and base with energy layers damage would have been like this)

100 damage

AP 3 vs. AR 1

+25% (for 1 point of AP above the AR)

125 damage

+25%(for 1 point more of AP above the AR)

156.25

Stun pistols are 0 AP and composite with (stun layers makeing it the known stun armour puts stunin the special protection)

100 damage stun with AP0 vs. AR2

- 50% (first AR point above AP)

50 damage

- 50% (second AR point above AP)

25 damage

Note* that PSG's takeare stun resistant STUN so the initial damge is cut down before it hits the armour.

just a bit of you to think about when you select the geo pistol for pVp before the dE-10 with a high power up and uber slice!
