Yeah, I saw that pic, that's Strafe Shot 2, right? What weapon are you using?

The most funny thing is that the one before that was 657.

Thats where the major issue is. A T21 was supposed to solve the issue with inconsitsnt damage, but the Dev's nerfed it. Now all masters are using Laser Rifles, Dlt20a and occasional SG82(for Krayts) and Jawa's (for composite armour).

Its nothing to be proud of....some random roll of the dice granted you a perfect damge with multiplier.

Now if that was consitant then diffrent story. But with 2 shots your average is 4.5k

*grins*

I don't use a SG82 on krayts. I would use a T21 if I could get one, but I need to stick to a laser rifle on them.

sorry, but why are you going with laser when T21 does hvy damage? doesnt that compensate? Whats your formula for this?

Also, does the Heavy damage create more DoT wnds with Mindshot? What would that be controlled by?

thanks!

the T21 is plenty consistent, and the heavy AP is a real plus.

on undefended lairs, I'm dropping 16-20k damage... PER strafeshot2... fired at a real speed of TWO. from a 9.1 speed rifle.

admittedly, the AP is null for ALL DOT shots, and for dmg to lairs... but that's what a bowcaster is for. the laser rifle has a great POTENTIAL for damage, but I can't afford to re-apply a mind bleed several times to get a good roll, which a laser rifle requires. again, the AP of a laser rifle is null for these shots, just as all AP's are.

if I bother to target the mind pool (now that I have strafe2, it's pointless in almost all situations), I lead with bowcaster: mindshot2; mindshot1; then switch to a T21 and finish off with headshot2 (headshot 3 is a real disappointment).

most of the time, I'm better off using my jawa or T21 on strafe2. with a current rifle accuracy +102 and rifle speed +90 (no special mods, just master rifleman and novice marksman), all my rifles are firing at the hardcap for regular attacks, and none are slower than speed 2 on specials.

Wow, nice shot! I take it your laser rifle has damage in the 1100-1200 range powered up? That was an incredible hit.. or does some squad leader skill up our damage?

The reason that you might want to consider using a SG82 is because Krayt dragon is vulnerable to cold. And SG82 is cold damage type. But laser rfile and T21 works good too....

He is using a laser or SG82 for the same reason I am... T21's are not available on Radiant. The gemstones needed to craft them have NEVER spawned on this server. A good friend of mine is a weaponsmith with all of the ingrediants stored for the eventual day this happens. His goal is 200 T21's the first day.

Last I checked Kryats were NOT vulnerable to cold. Infact, they had a 100% resist to it, same with heat. Not to mention a T21 on a master rifleman is better than an Sg82 on one, when you consider the armor piercing and max damage...
