Maybe this is a stupid question - but I see people posting that such and such a mob has 1000 HAM or somethign like that. How do you find this out? How do you know what is the best weapon to use against a particualr mob? When I click on something and do 'examine' it doesn't tell me anything about it at all. Do you just look at the bars and guess?
(sorry if this is a dumb question but I did state that in the subject!)

first one is easy and anyone can do it. just hover your cursor over the health bars of your target and it will pop-up the values.
second you have to have scout hunting ability to examine the stats and weakness and strengths of a target. the higher up the hunting tree the more info you get. a T21 trumps just about all other weapons in all cases except where a target is 100% immune to energy. i carry a variety of weapons in case i come across something that is immune to my T21. DLT20 till you qualify for laser and laser till you qualify for T21. starting out you should have a T21 sliced for speed.

Am I missing something? For MOBS and NPC's the examine window tells you their resists and their vulnerabilties. This determines what weapon you should use against them. And I don't have any scout skills at all. What additional information do you get that I don't?
