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.

With everybody in 35-40% stun composite and 45%+ PSGs, what's the best pistol for PVP these days, other than the DE-10.


Is it the Republic Blaster (AP1, higher maxdamage; good range)


or the DX2 (AP1, lower damage, but higher min; lousy range)



OR, do you still think it's the GEO.

Well if you got (Can get....:smileymad a DE-10...use that.


If not you can risk stun. (Still no AP though)


Between the Republic or the Dx2/Scatter. I say go with theacid. I see a lot of comp out there with good energy resists.(I use my Dx2 on a lot of stuff....dead trees...rocks..nunas.. :smileyvery-happy


What I want is a medium AP gun....but that will never happen.
