Thread: Best PvP pistol?
Was wondering what everyone thought about this. Tangle with a good sliceand a power up might give better DPS against the popular composite armor, if armor is working right?
What about a similarly well sliced SR Combat pistol with power up, does the armor piercing work on that? I know that the DX wasn't supposed to be armor piercing yet?
Or, should I just stand by my trusty..good stated fwg?
Thanks
I used a tangle pistol to, uh, nearly kill a composite wearing commando the other day. it can be very useful. However, there's always a chance their armor has some stun protection, which would make it worthless.
Also, you build a tangle with a high velocity feed mechanism, then slice it, then power it up... and it would probably still suck. ![]()
the 48m range limitation is a drag too.
the AP1 rating of the DX2 and SR combat will work properly, if the person already has a resist to that. So, for instance, vs composite armor, either pistol wouldn't get the 50% reduction from an AR deficit. So either might be a good 'second best' choice. SR combats are also theoretically good for some mobs, like piket protectors and singing mountain clan witches.
It's when something is vulnerable to a damage type that the AP1 bonus of the SR combat and DX2 doesn't apply.
