I remember looking back at my memories of pre CU SWG and one of the things I remember was my MBH/MP friedn with his wicked DE-10 and eye shot...I'm glad he fought with me, not against me. Anyways, whats the skinny on DE-10s, and are they worth it to craft and/or use?

I believe DE-10 cap is somewhere around 960. Apparetnly it's very hard to get because it's dependent on the barrels used. My DE-10 has 916 max dam, unsliced unpupped. When I get that sliced it'll be up near the slicing cap. It's the gun I use for PvE for the looks.

There's still a bit of confusion/mystery surrounding DE-10s and different barrels, but here's what I've learned...
DE-10s require 3 identical Krayt tissues (1 for the schem, 2 for the factory components). DL44 XTs and High Cap Scatters only need 1, and have better stats.
Pre-CU barrels do not have ANY SAC reduction.
Post-CU barrels do (like -8 or -9 SAC).
Post-CU barrels have a max damage cap around 960.
Pre-CU yellow barrels have been reported to go above this max damage cap (with one report claiming to have hit 980).
So, unless you have a pre-CU yellow barreland some super high damage components, AND plan on having the weaponsmith focus on maximizing damage, it's better to use post-CU barrels.
Also, the slice cap on max damage for DE-10s is 929. You won't get close to 960 if you're trying to slice the damage up there.

Guess I'll be hitting the DWB to find me a new barrel, I have one DE-10 schematic and pre-CU barrel sitting around, and waiting to find some decent tissues (saw some 4x +120 but that's probably too low) or power-cells. DE-10s now are a real pain in the butt because they're so expensive, tricky in the CU to get right and you only have ONE chance to make it too. I have 3 post CU crafted ones: 795 max 80 SAC 266 DPS, 868 max 84 SAC 290 DPS, and 890 max 108 SAC 288 DPS and they're up on my wall.

I've seen a few around recently, perhaps more are beginning to get made as the DWB becomes more approachable as peeps get used to CU.
The ones I've seen on vendor search though, nowhere near as nice as mine and just as expensive (mine cost me 2.5mil on Chimaera).
I have an ADK on mine but I am always looking for a better one.
