Thread: The pistol that drove me to drop melee professions and become a Master of the Pistol...
Nice to hear you are enjoying your new pistol. You said Exceptional Gorax shards were used? What were the stats on them if you know? If they were over 200 would it not have been possible to double cap the featherweight?
When equipped with a SAC PUP, I can spam specials with an adrenal buff (I am Master Doctor) endlessly, my action bar moves only the slightest bit - I do indulge in action food on an hourly basis though.
You're not firing fast enough then. 
With a 935 Max FW FWG5 puped to 47 SAC I can get through my action in about a minute, even with doc buffs (have 0004 Doc), chef buffs and spice (basically capped action regen).
Also the slicer added a nice little 3% critial hit bonus to it, so even without a critical hit skill, i occasionally see the -Critical- fly away on my prey.
I also have bought soem speed and accuracy tapes, but havnt started using them yet.

Yes, this will certainly help. When you hit master and start using your tapes will tear through your action with an 80+ SAC pistol. Badger and I (and a lot of other serious MPs) both use Featherweights capped at 65 SAC and sliced to the slicing damage cap of 935 (with speed not experimented on at all, but ending up close to 2) and use a SAC power up to get it to 50 SAC or under. With the buffs + speed stats + speed tapes you will be firing at capped speed and use up all of your action very quickly.
You can get a pistol like this using only about 150 max damage gorax bones if you have an illegal core booster to do the damage slice. The pistol you have now is great and will certainly serve you well up until Master, when I recommend you use itto go hunting Goraxes for the bones for your new gun 
Well theres one less post I have to make, Thanks.

So great is this pistol that I have dedicate my life to becoming a Master of this stunning weapon.
The stats on this pistol are: (sliced, but no PUP)
Speed 1.88
Max Dam 966
Accuracy 17
Base DPS 359
SAC 81
With a SAC PUP, the SAC drops to 57
With a damage PUP the stats become
Speed 2.04
Max Dam 1095
Base DPS 394
The pistol was crafted by Amizar in Valcyn, using pre CU components and exceptional Gorax shards.

I've only been in pistols for 2 weeks now, but I will be staying for quite a while with this little beauty by my side.
Also the slicer added a nice little 3% critial hit bonus to it, so even without a critical hit skill, i occasionally see the -Critical- fly away on my prey.
