Thread: Strafe2 or Flushing2?

Ok, delay on the Strafe2 is 3.5 not 2.5(unless it has changed). Delay on Flushing2 is 2.6. I'm not going to do all the math and damage because that is all in another thread. I have master marksman and with all my damage slice rifles I can fire all specials at 1 sec. except Strafe2(a few rifles I can fire Strafe2 at 1 sec.)
Me personally, I use Strafe2 99% of the time when I want AoE shot in PVE.
In PVP, I use Flushing2 about 60% of the time if I want an AoE. Sometimes I want the extra damage of Strafe, but most of the time the stun effect pays off. I sometimes use Flushing2 against single targets in PVP. Melee people who I end up engaging at 35m or less get Flushing2, the stun buys me a little extra time.
Yeah you are right it is 3.5 and not 2.5.. hehe.. I just took a punt on that one because I was at work while writing that post and didn't have time to even finish it. That's what you get for goofing off at work 
I got pulled away to a dang meeting before I could finish writing it and just had to click submit.. FEH!
I guess the point that I was trying to make is the DPS of Flushing 2 v's Strafe 2 would probably be fairly close if you had +95 Rifle Speed.
Y'all finished it off for me though..
I too use a macro with Flurry 2, flushing 2 and funish off with a couple of Strafe 2's for PVP.. the status effects of Flurry / Flushing buy you a bit of time when you are being run down by a TKM.. If they Stick that is.
