From what I have seen the bowcasters as a class are by far the best rifle option. Someone was showing lots of love for the Wookies!
My best Advanced Laser Rifle is 703 min - 1,307 max. That is with a +32.66% damage pup.
Hmm so I take it from that comment that the Bowcaster is for Wookies Race only? Oh well
Iwas gonna try to link to some screenshots of my rifle without and with PUP to view the base stats. Unfortunately the crazy HTML editor won't accept my links and keeps wiping them out. Hope they fix that soon.

I posted under seperate heading a link to 9 of the better rifles I carry. These include the T21, Nullifier (nobody is talking much about this one...has some nice mods), Grievance Striker (looks like an Uzi, fun to fire), Trandoshan Hunting Rifle, Gorax Berserker (kinetic damage), Advanced Laser Rifle, Fallan Hyper-Rifle (kinetic damage), Jawa Ion (energy w/elemental), DC-15 Rifle. You can find that post here:

Title says it all, I need to know what I should get because my T21 isn't cutting it?
I say the Advanced Laser Rifle is the best. It's easier to find 4 great tissues than 6.

I have a converted bowcaster 618-1236 2.41 speed 385 base dps. I also have a 358-1236 laser rifle, 613-1227 bowcaster, 314-1207 laser, and a few other 500-1150max bowcasters. SAC on all is 104 becasue they are all conversions. Personally i would say the bowcaster is the best.
Those are nice weapon Kregi. i didnt think anything converted past the damage caps, adv laser and T21 dmg cap is 1184, not sure about the bowcaster dmg caps though. I can see that I was wrong, those must be some of the best rifles on your server
On Wanderhome I can tell you the absolute best is a pre CU T-21. Post CU I can not find a decent one. I find that the Advanced Laser Rifle will out damage the T-21 because it is faster and also has a lower SAC on it. I have not found a T-21 break 285 damage yet. But I carry with me an Advanced Laser Rifle that is above 300 with a SAC of 105 and my speed is at 1.45.
I am a little upset that a weapon that anyone can use is better than my master level weapon. Ok the T-21 cause more wound but let's face it what is the big deal in this. You are gonna be eating thier health who cares about wounds. If you are PvP situation they have already got clone data and will clone at full health so wounds do not matter. PvE have you ever seen wounds on an animal or NPC that someone else failed to kill?? No so who really cares about wound rates.
I would like to see our T-21 brought back to be the strongest rifle there is.
If you are a Wookie then you will want to use a Combat Bowcaster. I saw one that had a base DPS for 385. That puts any other rifle I have seen to shame and then you can still add a PU to it. There is your lovin our furry friends.
