Thread: Which is better? A laser rifle or a SG82? I would appreciate any advice
i have to disagree on the E11 rifle opinion.
i use laserrifle 11-330. 7.9 and an E11 78-145 5.8 (both sliced). i tend to love my e11 much more in pvp than the laser rifle. it has a much more reliable dmg output than the laserrifle. true you can do 1200dmg shots with the laser rifle, but you can also do a 45dmg shot and then need to wait 8 sec for the next shot, he. in pve this migth not be the problem, but pvp is something different. i usually switch to my e11 in pvp and just spam mindshot every 5 sec for up to 400 dmg hrhr ![]()
laser rifle dmg is 10-290 plus AR 2
Sg82 is 100-130 plus AR 0
The 10 for min damage on the laser rifle can really hurt you. But i think that fact that the ideal range is 60m makes up for it.
Tusken looks much better then the SG82. And the E11 might be a safer bet then the Laser rifle.
Also the SG82 does base cold damage. I don't think many people will wear gear to efffect that since must weapons are energy based. So carry them all.
The E11 is a total POS, at least on Corbantis because the only plumbum iron there has a conductivity of 20. The E11 cannot be good unless the iron used to make it is good! Check the stats on every weapon before you buy it, because crafter skill and resources make a huge impact (you can get DLT20s that are better than crappy Laser Rifles).
As far as the spraystick goes: sorry, not better than a laser rifle. If you're talking stock then maybe so. However, with a weapon mod to either max damage (best)or refire rate you can seriously soup a laser rifle up. Unfortunately the spraystick is basically useless when it comes to weapon mods, because it shoots so fast that the mod wears off in only a couple of fights. Also, what are you going to do with that spraystick when a laser rifle shoots you for 1400 on the first shot????
Don't get me wrong, the spraystick is a good weapon, but saying it is clearly superior to the Laser Rifle is just false. It depends on your play style a lot. The spraystick is basically like an assault rifle, to the Laser Rifle's sniper.
