Yeah, I mean that's kind of impressive... but I'd be dead in 3 seconds with those mind costs.

Bought one tonight. He has a bunch left if you still want them. Damage is good but the mind cost hurts. Might be a good pvp weapon, but won't use it pve. Little expensive paid 100k for the cheapest one.

Just to clarify: I'm not accusing anyone of anything here. I haven't checked with the usual stats yet. I'm just saying, either it's perfectly within the limits of what every other WS on that server can produce, or something is fishy. Unfortunately being a WS has nothing to do with talent or being clever, not even with being lucky. All it takes is have the resources and do some math. With that every laser rifle will be about as good or bad as others within a certain range. I'm just questioning that is was such a great accomplishment with his secret special technique if it's been legit...

o its one of those ultra high mind cost things ? nm, i thought it was something different. if you had achieved these stats at default HAM costs, that would be impressive. but my battles tend to last.

If they ever fix buffs then high HAM cost weapons are still good, you just have to take lots of +focus food or spices. Currently my stats bug if I try and take more than one food at a time.

I can see it being possible with krayt tissue (easily possible), and I can almost see it possible with some amazing adv.sub-components (I don't have all the resources for those yet, not even sure which have been on Tarq). Maybe with SEAs. But it still seems too good to be true.


The whole 'I cannot confirm nor deny using krayt tissue' thing reeks of that statexploit

The mind cost is 89, not really a weapons expert so I don't know how bad that is.One headshot 3 took about a third of my mind, if I had a musicians buff it would be no big deal. Hehe, I thought 70 mind on my t-21 was rough.


But with power ups and buffs it could be a lethal gun, good for blowing up lairs with regular shots too I guess. Will have to play around abit more I guess.

GET A MASTER MUSICIANBUFF.


Targeted bufflasts for 2 hours, makes HAM costs irrelevant (my Focus and Willpowerare 1600/1300). As a master rifleman, you fire any rifle (regardless of speed) once per second, once per 2 seconds with Strafe Shot 2.


The ONLY stat that matters if you're looking to be uber (as seems to be the ultimate purpose of those on this thread) is DAMAGE.


Thank you, have a nice day.

They are not that hard to make, actually. Start with a base rifle of about 410 max damage, very eas to do mine are 405 with a basic barrel. Add to that about 35 damage, as well as 30 ham from the stock, and 30-45 more from tissues (VERY easy to do now that tissues dont need serial numbers). You end up with 470-490 max damage. Just the other day I made(with tissue)a 455 one with 58 mind ham. As for the double slice exploit, it is possible. I saw a 2.6 speed flame thrower, pretty mean weapon. My name is Amy gatacita in bloodfin, I live fairly close to kif =). Ifyou provide the tissueI make uber ones like for 30k. Our slicer had a 37% slice before, he slices for kif too. Game name is leonard davinchi.

right and all the advanced planets on my server (intrepid) just happen to be swarming with master musicians that are just eager to buff...


i just somehow have missed them all, every damned single last one of em since the game launched.


freagin genius.


as far as spices/food goes, been there / done that, they just dont last anywhere near as long as they need to, maybe if they all lasted 2 hours or so, it would be a different story. i even switched out of armor to clothing in order to avoid any encumbrance and have max willpower / focus. still not enough. i still run occasionally short while doing hard missions which ultimately sometimes leads me back to the cloning terminal.


only time i use spicees and food is for those rare occasions when i have to take down an AT-ST in a faction mission or something alike. otherwise the short duration and the spice downer just isnt worth it.
