Crippling shot from Carbiner should be a x7 multiplier, so there's another one that's 'better'(single-target though). Most people seem to know to distinguish between Strafe 1 and 2, so I'd say he is asking us about the one that is worthless. It'd be nice to use what you get in the Novice Rifleman box, but without mobs taking cover, there is really no point to it.

actually, thats just Novamarine being nice and working out damage modifiers.

Whenever a weapon is fired its damage is multiplied by 1.5
Then the damage modifier of the special is added.

novamarine worked that out and listed the specials.. so crippling shot is x7.5 damage (which is x5 base)

the strafeshot2 has a damage multiplier of x5 too.
so when you account for the fact that the rifles specials are listed and dont included the basic x1.5 modifier.. it also has a x7.5 damage mod.

However - unlike the rare BH/Carbineer who can speed cap crippling shot with a decent weapon the rifleman speed caps with the best weapon in the game (T21) - and /ss2 is a Cone.

I'll take your word on the data regarding Crippling shot, but considering how slow it is and the amount of damage you can do with it, I would have thought it would be 7x without the additional 1.5x. And I never said or meant to imply that it was better than SS2, so no need to try and 'disprove' me

strafeshot2 is the strongest attack in the game....what more do you need to know?

Actually Last-Ditch has a higher dmg mod, and I think he means strafe1 lol.

But LastDitch is a single target shot, so against a single target, LastDitch may be stronger, but that advantage is erased as soon as two or more targets fall within the AoE effect of Strafeshot2. Therefore, I would have to agree with big-llama.

/direct Dervish2. Does more damage then anything I've ever seen even with a sub par saber.

Strafe is I'd say the best normal attack in the gamme yea.
