If thats the case then there's a 90% probability that your opponents (and your) composite has a 65% resist to energy as well. Most composite is either 80% kinetic or a mix with a stun layer. Now the big difference is the accuracy and the AP bonus (and slow a$$ speed of theT21 if you dont have your speed tapes) T21 has a 25% increase in damage over the DXR but only has a +10-25 accuaracy at ideal range. DXR is only AP2 so its still getting an AP bonus vs. composite AND the accuracy is +60-120 at ideal.
Being able to land more hits outweighs the slight bonus in damage. Save the T21 for PvE npc's or if you're going to be spamming SS2 along with 4 other riflemen. If he's wearing a stun layered helmet and realize this in time your DXR is going to win the game. Stun damage still wins against non layered armor though.
p.s.- if they make the MIND equal to the other stats like what is rumored to happen in the revamp then we might have to reevaluate our PvP strategies.
DXR6b is great for: most voritors, most things in the Geo cave, the DWB, anything w/ high-energy resists
