Thread: A possable solution to the T21 vs ALR Debate!!!!
Actually I think experimentation on elemental damage is better than maxing the base damage (with the elemental damage/resist system being as it is). For my next enhanced rifle I'm going to ask for a HLR with increased electricity damage....you can always increase base damage with a slice.

And coming to the issue of T21s: The best solution is to give it an elemental damage.
T21s should have elemental HEAT damage of 60 on average, with 80 being the cap (if anyone's foolish enough to actually invest experimentation points on the elemental damage).
That should explain the 1 extra Advanced Blaster Power Handler required to craft it, as well as the lack of a scope component.

I have been a MBH and Master Rifleman since day one. I remember the day when the T21 was feared by all. Now it hangs on my wall as a faint memory of past days. There is no doubt the T21 needs to be fixed from the current state it is in. I cry myself to sleep at night wondering why a level 54 ALR out damages a Master Rifleman certified weapon. One of my late night of crying got me thinking. A T21 should #1 The most powerful rifle in the game period. A good way to make it special for all of us is to make quest based to recieve one. Have us do quest to get certain parts for the T21. We would still need a 12 pt weaponsmith to craft it though. And Once complete the quest. If it be 3-8 quest depending on the number of part and matrial needed. IN a few weeks or months a new we can start a new quest for special attachments or special slicing parts ect... Some quest you may have to get your guild to help. But imagine how proud we would be to have such a powerful rifle knowing we had to go out and find all the parts to it. This ideal could be expanded upon. Not only do I want to developers to fix the problem with the T21 but make it special and let us be proud of it. And every now and then we can get a special new quest to get a awsome attachement to make it better. But make us work for it. Let expand on this ideal guys help me out.
I've been a master Rifleman since the beginning of the game (YES, I was in the initial beta's). What I've learned is that we have no control over what happens, what is nerf'd, etc. It just happens - and happens in all MMRPG games. *Yes - I've been totally nerf'd several times over in DAOC too 
So, what I do now is just roll with the punches. YES, I loved my uber T21 while it was uber. I had my one and only ADK on it too. Now, after the CU, I've destroyed my T21 and it was heartwrending to do. But I went and bought and ALR, and HLR and a THR. Bought the best I could get - avg 8-10mil each. Best rifles I ever owned. I can solo Krayts better now that before the CU (some combat re-balance - LOL!). I'm happy and don't care if I ever see a T21 again. I just want the best rifle(s) I can buy. Those that roll with the punches and adapt flourish.
I'm not knocking the sentiment of this thread though. I shed a tear when I destroyed my hard earned T21 just to get my ADK back. But I'm certainly not going to push the Dev's to change things now.
