Hello.

Regarding geo-pistols. Are you more interesting in the extra damage yellow-cubes will give you Or the vast increase in max condition that using green cubes would generate? I understand that these pistols degrade quite quickly (true?). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

In a krayt-enhanced gun I would prefer green cubes over yellow cubes. In a cheaper non-krayt version I think yellow cubes would be preferable, since you are not taking such a huge loss if you fail on the first repair.

Regarding degradation, I only used my krayt geno (357 1.7)in pvp and always with a min/max powerup, and currently it's condition is around 700/1100. It doesn't seem to degrade any faster than other weapons.

I agree with Voltrox in that I haven't seen my Geo degrade any faster than any of my other weapons.

Where I disagree is in I would always rather have more damage than more condition. The best pistols are usually the most expensive weapons in the game, if I can afford one, I will eventually be able to afford another. So, I would rather have the most damage out of the one that I have.

Just my opinion.

And hey...I'm the guy that paid a crap load of money for a geo and used it as a grind weapon to get xp to get to master pistoleer and master smuggler....after it was all said and done, I had to repair it only 1 time and it's max condition is still 845.

More damage...definitely!

always more damage..

i prefer to have a pistol i can use once but that will assure me victory over another that i can use more times but has not the same punch

As a M.pistoleer ans weaponsmith it seems to lead to who your customers are.A hardcore gamer would rather have condition(green) over damage.Yellow cubes do not add that much damage to the gun and are more expensive than the greens For someone not playing all the time they will look for damage.Get a feel for your customers and find out how much they play.

If I was to use the geo for PvP, which is what I usually use them for I would prefer some nice yellow cubes, that extra 20 damage from some nice cubes sliced at 25% makes a big difference accompanied by a min / max pup.

I prefer more damage, I'm strictly a PvE player. I have burned through at least 2 Geos, it might have been 3... no worries. The money and xp I made in doing so made it worth the cost. Yes, I grind with 250k guns... because I can afford to.

i wouldnt use a geo to grind but if i had one i would want it to do good damage but still be fast....but that is what i look for in everything

i'd day condition in that yellow cubes that i have seen dont get much higher than 15 pts, and with what i have seen in green cubes, the thsoe will get u another 500 pts in condition +, would definetly have more condition than dam. specially if ur krayting it, u wouldnt be using cheap tissues on it, u wanna use ur best (my geo 492 with pup max dam with a condition of 1400, give or take 100). so that gun would last me forever, knowing that i dont know when the next time i am going to get a schem and good tissues for it to make another 1.

just my 2 cents
