looted, or krayted w/ damage slice

A crafted T-21 can get to about 720 with a slice and power-up. No need to waste credits on tissue or looted weapons if all you want is 700 max

Well for anyone interested the DXR6 was still better. I'm quite sure with +97 with the T21 caped with SS2 the T21 would be the best. Anyone know where i can get some armour attachments on bria??

Of course, it depends on the rancor type, but for Enraged Rancors (what you will usually get for level 99 or so missions) the DXR6b will be the weapon of choice even if you are speed capped for all weapons/specials. Here is why.

Unless you are dealing with heavy armor, the T21 will have a 25% damage bonus over a DXR6b, but that does not take into account resists. For Enraged Rancors, the resists are 60% to energy, but only 30% to Acid. So while T21 has a 25% damage advantage for AP, it has a 30% damage disadvantage from resists. So, for instance, with the weapons you specified:

T21 @ 221 - 564 damage would do an average damage of 393. Using Strafeshot2, this would result in an average hit of around 2944. The DXR6B @ 242 - 481 damage would have an average damage of 362. Again, with Strafeshot2, this would result in an average hit of 2711. However, after armor and resists are factored in, because of the higher energy resists, the T21 is going to average 1472 damage whereas the DXR6b is going to average 1897. Since the DXR6b is also faster than the T21, even if you speed cap, the DXR6B will remain the better weapon choice against Enraged Rancors. With different Rancor types, you may find that the difference in resists narrows or eliminates this gap, but for the most part, as long as the damage range of the two weapons are similar, a DXR6b has a significant advantage over a T21 against most rancors.
