Well the Unsliced was 6.0 max 353 953/953 conditoin +118 @ ideal. Those were the only ones he carried. Pretty nice, I love it, too bad I got a 20% speed slice on it. With a max pup, it 470 and do 2500 damage wth HS#Jerele, you should be glad to have that condition on your weapon. Most of the ones I could find for sale had condition barely above 700. The damage is good (mymain one got a 27% damage slice and is 464 without powerup), but both the condition and the accuracy sukk. So I carry a second one with high speed (3.3) and high accuracy (87%, not like yours unfortunately) just for landing the special effects.
Nobody told me I actually had to THINK about what I was doing when I started rifle lo those many moons ago!
Hehe
As I said somewhere else tonight, I dunno much about WSing. But I think I remember hearing that they can experiment differently (from the normal 'everything into damage') to improve both the accuracy and condition. Also, (never noticed it myself) I was led to believe speed slices improve the accuracy mods. Anyone know about this?
Too bad you're not on Eclipse. I have a couple of speed-sliced ones I don't need I could let go of.When buying my DXR-6b's, I was trying to get a high damage one, so I would buy one, slice it, buy another, slice it, etc. (I also happen to be a Master Smuggler). Ended up buying six total. First two were speed sliced and third was 19% damage. OK, but I wanted better damage, so kept going. Next two were speed-sliced, butfinally got the 27% damage slice I mentioned before on the sixth one. That process took aBIG CHUNKof change out of my pocketbook, but I really love the rifles. The good news was that mostthe speed sliced ones were all around 30%. I carry the highest speed one and the two damage sliced ones. Think I sold one of the others to a friend.

Well that rifle costs about 400k but luckly I found Green CUbes, 8 of them, and traded them for the gun. The HAM is high, but with no armor, and 2 BE +427 Vasarian Brandies, I only take 69 Damage with HS3. I heal really quick when sitting done so its ok. NP with that. Im trying to get a Low Ham and Speed one right now, winning it in an auction so far
This could very well be true, Kez. My high-speed-sliced one is much more accurate than my damage ones! Any Weaponsmiths out there know anything?

Think i can buy one off ya?
DreadLordWc3...
Let me double check my house to make sure I still have at least one... I think I stuffed 'em in a backpack somewhere, and I'll be glad to part with it if so. And I'm not looking to get rich off ya... but I would like to recoup my original cost.They all ranged in cost from 200K up to 260K, so if I still have one, is 220K fair? Look for me in-game or send way'ev-da an email. I'm usually on around 10PM CST (USA Central) for a couple of hours.
The acid rifle is nice. Unforturnately I noticed that when a mob is vulnerable to a acid it also negates the armor multiplication damage bonus.
Still I'm glad to have it and it fires a neat looking pulse.
