? for all my fellow masters

What is your weapon of choice when :

1. In groups (small mobs and large mobs)

2. Solo (small mobs and large mobs)

I find that my favorite weapon is the dlt20a with a max dam mind powerup. I spam strafe2 and flushing2 and have pets stay on my target. If I use any other weapon, my mind is gone in 9 shots, 7 with t21. What do you use?

Always my damage sliced laser with max dam/mind power-up, just becuase I cant get ahold of a good T21. HAM isnt an issue when I am constantly eating Fishlak, Ryshcate, and Vaghash.

i use my prenerf at 820 max dmg. That usually 1 hits em, if theyre armored, i pull out the jawa and headshot. =) both are solo and groups... if your talking about pvp of course

i use the t21 for everything. i spice and use food if i have problems with the hams.

i use several T21 one is designed solely as an auto attack weapon the others with low mind costs. i have no problems with using em.

I am lucky to have a master musician in my back pocket (holocron toon) so I use my T21 full time. SS2 costs a total of 4 mind with 1500 focus and with 1500 willpower it regens before I shoot the next shot.

Before he made master I used a Krayt E11 though. Good average damage (almost exactly half my T21) and half the mind costs.

My Husband is a Master Rifleman Wookiee. Primarily he only does PvP these days he uses T-21 for armored peeps in single combat.In large raids he like a laser. For unarmored heads he prefers the Bowcaster.

I use a plain old top of the line t21 damage sliced.

I am one box away from master CH so for PVE group or solo I will shoot specials until my mind is half depleted then switch to autofire and let the pet tank while I regen. I always have two pets out one as a tank the other is a bodyguard in case something else agros on me. If I am huntingparticularly nastymobs I throw on a max damage/mind powerup. I keep muon gold hotkeyed just in case.

In PvP I hit muon gold first then I spam ss2 or ms2+ms1+hs3. I've been trying to get my hands on a good Jawa rifle and will sooner or later but I have not experienced armor to be too much of a problem. Maybe I just lucked out and have not run into anyone with high quality armor. I still keep two pets for PvP rather than one big one and have them both on guard.

In groups, I usually use my old DLT20a since I don't need the XP anymore. If someone gets into trouble, I throw a Ranged Stim and switch to either my T21 or my Laser Rifle.

Solo,I use my T21 against high HAM mobs, like Nightsisters or Rancors or whatever, the rest of the time, I use my Laser Rifle (especially to take down Faction mission targets).

I carry 2 T21s, 2 Laser Rifles,1 DLT20a and a CDEF Rifle (use it only to SniperShot enemies, VERY low mind drain). I've been planning on getting a Jawa, Tusken (gotta wait for Kinetic damage)and a SG82, but who knows when I'll finally get around to that...

I use different weapons in different situations.

For running missions on Dant, I usually use my T21. It slices through Pikets and lizards like butter and my party gets much cash when I am around.

For killing Rebel NPC's I love my laser rifle. It has a little more accuracy and less HAM cost for spraying a flurry2 and flushing2. This way I only use about 1/2 my mind pool for the battle and can take a hs or two from a rebel rifleman if the base spawns one.

PVP I like walking around with my jawa rifle. It doesn't hurt the mind at all and I can spam specials all day. It also has the ability to go through composite which is nice. and its got a smaller look than the other rifles. The enemy can see a T21 a mile away, and a laser rifle at about 60m. The jawa rifle can be mistaken for a carbine or something if you look quickly and miss the fact that it looks like a trumpet and shoots bright blue lasers . I use my bigger rifles for pvp as well, in certain situations, but I always have my Jawa out and ready.

And for when I'm not overt and just cruising around town I like to hold a spray stick. I never use it anymore, but it still looks like a lightsaber and I still get a good laugh in when people ask me where I got it and if it works .

"1. In groups (small mobs and large mobs)"

Depends on the resistances of the targets, who in the Group is lvling weapon exp and If the group is in trouble.

jawa, sg, swap e11/laser for ham usage.

If group members are melee or leveling it usually a flurry/flush 1 combo, then peace if some one starts to get low on health/action/mind 3-4 quick strafe2's clears the rest out.

Example, jedi's medium armor 80% to everything, Laser Rifle
Roba's/blurrgs Jawa
huurton's E11

Example small = vk's from tka line

2. Solo (small mobs and large mobs)

E11/Laser is primary weapon load with jawa hotkeyed.
Laser for popping off the first few shots and the e11 for kiting.

Jawa for stun vuln, sg for cold vuln. don't bother with dlt20a's . if my e11 has same ham useage , ar2, and similar damage.

Radiant doesn't have t-21's , I surrened CH for melee skills so if something isn't finished with my rifle, BRING IT. armor up and smack it around, always keep a pixie and moun hotkeyed

T21 with a good damage slice and max damage/mind powerup( I think 120-520, 7.7) for just about everything, switching to an SG82 or Jawa when I need cold or stun damage (very rare as I don't PVP much).

I have a non-sliced, non-powered up laser rifle that I use to shoot lairs.

Last but not least, a Krayt DL44 pistol with a max damage powerup that I switch to for warningshot or suppressionfire when mobs get too close.

I should also say that I use strafe2 most of the time, but occassionally use concealshot to weaken mobs up first, and flurry2/flushing2 on NPCs. I also wear composite armor and use a lot of doc and food buffs and sometimes muon.
