No offense, but they are useless. T21s are heavy AP while the lasers are medium. In PVP the heavy AP as a much better effect then the T21 (even though there are people w/ 80-90% base running around). And the damage in a laser rifle is usaully from below 100 to whatever anyway! (useless in PVP again due to damage Mitigation). The only thing lasers are good for are leveling. But even so, only newbs would use it until they are 0004 and i dont think a newb can afford a 808 damage rifle and would even bother when they can get a much cheaper t21 at 7.0 speed, get a speed slice and use speed powerups to get the speed to atleast 5.0. Then the Heavy AP can make up for the extra damage.

Damm! Am I missing something ? Are you talking about high damage values here? I have been playing since day 3 on Eclipse and I have never seen a Laser rifle anywhere near that damage. I visitthe best weaponsmiths fairly regularly and in fact have never seen an Un-sliced laser above 500. So are those common on your server?

I'm willing to bet that unless your T21 is just sucky, you'll hit harder and more consistentlywith it against unarmoed than the Laser will, taking into account mitigation.

Well, not everyone is a rifleman so they can't use a T21 but since Laser rifles are Medium AP and have a Higher Max Damage then a T21, they might be doing more damage, youll have to see.

Not sure you've gotten an answer. A gun like that would sell for maybe 3-500k or so on Intrepid, but would go to a rich armorsmith for their marksmen-level toon to do higher damage, not a riflemen. Riflemen will stick to T-21's unless the damage were higher still.

I can't argue with numbers, but I can argue with experience: my Laser Rifle (780-something) kills my opponents quickly enough (4-8 seconds, generally Wooks) that I'm inclined not to waste the condition on my T21s. However, I'm sure ranged mitigation kills my damage from what it could be with a T21.

I've never seen a sliced laser rifle that high on sunrunner...
With a good slice and a power up, it's easy to get those numbers.
I've sold 3 rifles with 770+ max damage at 200K each. I sold 2 with over 800 damage for 350K each. Those damages were with power ups, so NO flames.....lol. So on Radiant 350K for over 800 damage.

I'm on Sunrunner as well.. and the highest I've seen was 521 max damage... and that seemed god-like.. what are your standard T-21's? the best weaponsmithon Sunrunner has like 450 max damage(unsliced) though our Ham costs are like 14/14/33
