with all the recent issue over DPS or DPA i was wondering how the different attacks

effected the damage output per second. forgive me if my numbers are a little off - im at work.

normally i spam between headshot and adv critical (im M.Rifles & M.BH) they do 1800 and 2100

damage respectivly. and i see a 'green spam' confirming my hit roughly every 3 secs. (i think one end

to end shot takes a 5 sec pause?). alternativly if i spam between ranged shot, and placed shot from

basic marksman stuff i might hit for 900 every 1 sec?

correct me if i'm wrong here

so in a30 sec time:

Head/ criticalhits 10 times (5 for each)

5 x 1800 + 5 x 2100 = 19500pts

Ranged / placed hits 30 times (15 times each)

30 x 900 = 27000pts

i know these are only estimates but they do help to illustrate my problem. just in terms of damge output

should i spam basic or advanced shots?

the problem might happen if both basic shots and teh advanced uses the same action for each shot.

- i'd run out of action much sooner with the faster basic shots than the high damage ones?

if find the ranged shot/ placed shot good because with buffs and food/spice I can almost spam them non-stop. I save the bigger attacks for knockdowns, and other states that might be applied

well.....for quick battles, I use head/critical to end someone/something fast.

In a big/long battle, ranged/placed is a good idea since that hacks away life at a more constant/less action/more efficient way.

what u guys smoking? use a sac pup on a low sac rifle for 65 sac, get doc buff, eat, and spice and you can use specials all day long
