Rifleman Archive

As I expected the armor pierceing makes a big differance. I here mention of the Volsted's Effectiveness Rating a lot. I was wondering if anyone had a link to information on it or if you could post the basic equations here. I love to run the math on weapons and the equation I've seen here seems to include some math to figure out the AP part of things that I was missing when doing the math on my own.

my 2 mains are T21 and E11. I getthe 2 bleeds with the T21, then do HS2's with the E11.

As a Wookie master rifleman, I carry three weapons. Bowcaster, Jawa, and T21. The Bowcaster for exactly the same reasons as the DLT20a (but it does a little better damage). The Jawa is almost the only weapon to use in PVP (Hello 80% composite). And the T21 for those medium and Heavy armor mobs (I rarely use this, it just drains the mind too fast). The laser is a great all around weapon if you only want to carry one. But, if you want to do the best damage, there is usually something better to switch too.

Just my 2 cents.

Note: I have yet to find a really nice E11. It might replace the bowcaster if I get a good one.

It depends what your quarry is, animals or NPC's. Animals don't mind-shot you, while the Imperials I often huntlove to. Nothing worse than taking out 2/3 Imps with a laser rifle only to have the third one kill you with 2 headshots!

I have 2-1-3-2 rifleman and I use the following:

DLT20 (155-250, 5.3)for bleeds and destroying bases

Laser Rifle (44-365, 5.1) for high damage aoe shots when I want to take out a group of npc's who are shooting at me

E11(105-210 ,4.9) for general purpose headshot use.

If it's sustained battle with NPC's and I have to heal myself a few times then I usually switch to DLT when things get tight. Overall I'd say the E11 is my favorite workhorse. Laser can get some hefty damage shots but can also get some crappy ones and really sucks the mind. If Dev's ever unload some GOOD plumbum iron on us then I think E11's would surpass lasers as main guns.
