I've been on the search for a Spraystick that has a lower mind cost then what I'm currently using. I wanted to write a quick post to see if any of you would tell me what the mind cost is for your spraystick.


My best spraystick has a 41 for mind cost. Is that high, low, or about average you think?


Best!

You know, if you get Master Rifle and defenses from Fencer, and then use a spraystick, you will be about even with a Master TK in spd and strength in attacks. I have seen this in a duel and it was even until the very end. The lowest mind cost ive seen on a Spraystick has been 38, goodluck finding lower than that.

I've got one that was Corvette Loot, spd sliced and pretty low ham, in the teens i believe. 0.7 spd, GREAT for getting states to stick in PvE OR PvP.

i dont like spraysticks. with buffs and foods/drinks HAM on them doesnt seem to matter.


the 3 primary reasons why i dont like em and never have since the game launched:



1. they are ap0.


2. they are too fast, my spraysticks eat up my powerups in matter of seconds, i could go through entire weeks supply for T21 / Laser / Jawa on about 2 hours of spraystick using.


3. its a S-P-R-A-Y-S-T-I-C-K !!!!!! so why does it do energy dmg ?



the only cool thing i see about spraystick, is that if you are unbuffed, it actually does nice dmg without doing any specials whatsoever, just like any good pistol, its base dmg is enough to bring things down without using specials thus expanding your HAM.

thats about average, but, id expect you to do more damage to yourself tahn to your target (especially with damage mitigation)

lets review why it isnt that great:

ap0, give me my t21 any day, even if it is slower
last spraystick i saw was something like 10-200 damage, after mitigation 3, your actual damage range is 10-76...
energy damage, penty of other, more efficient rifles with the same damage type, ie: e11, laser, t21

Spray sticks are awesome while youre leveling up to master. I hunt quenkers, graul maulers, vortitprs, and every kind of huurtons witha 176 max dmg spraystick. At master spraysticks suck. You hit just as fast with master rifleman and even faster with master marksman.

Thanks for the reply guys.


Yeah I'm using this to level Rifleman. As someone with melee mitigation III, a spraystick and pointBlankArea1 work out really well for leveling.


Will I use a spraystick at Master? I dunno. /shrug


In PvP, I've always been the type who tries to use absolutely everything I have in my arsenal. All weapons and all specialsfrom novice marksman to master. It all depends on the situation.


Best!

True... but it does sum up the spraystick pretty well
