well..im fairly new to this prof, but as i see and want to play, its:


SAC

SPEED

DMG


since sac will get you more shots, and speed will compensate for the damage.

What will you do when you oponent is KD: onehigh dmgshot, then wait 2 sec,hi.dmg shot, wait 2 sec.


Or medium/hard, 1 sec, medium/hard, 1 sec, medium/hard shot, 1 sec, medium/hard shot.


if you get the speed cap with AA or CA, then just pop a DMG PUP, and you should be rolling


im still waitingto stumble over a rock, and see a 25 gen speed AA and 25 rifle speed AA lying on the ground

thats how i play the game

I would like to comment a bit on what I look for in a high end rifle


The first thing I look at is the base DPS. I know this isnt the whole picture by any means but when surfing through vendors it is what initially catches my eye. 320+ dps base.


I then look at whether the weapon is damage capped which I believe is set at 1182 or so. Forgive me I dont have the figures to hand. At this point I will also look at the SAC which should be 82 and the accuracy bonus (I am typically uninterested in anything less than +60)


Then I look at the speed, whether someone is trying to con me by having already added a PuP (Why do people try and sell weapons with PuPs already on them, it annoys the hell out of me as a potential customer) and whether it is already sliced or not. If the weapon has not been sliced the above checks will result in a decent weapon.

Speed and DPS which is based on speed is a pretty useless factor now. I judge based off of min/max damage and SAC. Speed is useless because no matter what weapon you use it will still be faster then your specials timers. What good is a 1 second weapon if it takes 2.5 seconds for your specials to cycle so you can fire again. Remember even the most basic attacks work like a special now.

That price will fluctuate each server and weaponsmith. I had an ALR made last night with these stats for 750,000.


1180 dmg (I'll double check, but it was right near the cap. Low dmg was around 490 (not too happy about that)

82 SAC

Didn't check the dps at all, but after slice I think I had below 1.9 speed.


I did howerver suply the krayt tissue which cuts the price significantly. If you want a T21 the resources are very rare and the price may be a lot higher. I couldn't imagine paying 5-10 mil for anything.

I was a little off on the stats.


1183 dmg


82 SAC


2.3 speed


340 base dps


I also got 5 free 34% speed powerups, but since my accuracy is crap I can't use them.


Lucky I have improved force speed to help out the slow rifle. The problem I have right now is the accuracy and hitting high defense templates, and when I do hit them doing more than 80 dmg. I'm happy though since I was able to find a fun build and still keep rifleman.
