I keep seeing posts about the best rifles being an ALR, crafted Trando, or T21.


How does the Assault Bowcaster stack up against these rifles?


Is it equal to them?

equal and better at the same time


same crafting maxs but kinetic vs energy


the reason why people don't talk about the bowcaster is that it is limited to wookiees (about 5% of the population) so it is not as popular due to demand.

i wonder what will happen when they make a sullustan only rifle...


NO ONE in Kauri is a sullustan, and only .01% are ithorians. Wookies 6% and Humans 49%...or so





Humans rulz!

I believe the bowcasters should be able to stack up pretty good with the ALR's. I have some that were converted in CU and they rival that of ALR's....but as a human crafter, I don't have any schematics for bowcaster's and I'm not sure if anyone but wookiee crafters can make them. At least I have no idea where to get the schematic, all I know is I do not have the schematic for the bowcaster and have never seen a schematic for it. I do know they can be crafted as I have some that were crafted by someone. Post CU, I haven't seen any though....all I have are pre CU ones.

As a Wookiee WS with a Wookiee Ranger/Rifleman alt, Assault Bowcasters are identical to T21's aside from the Kinetic Damage. Same exact components and ingredients. The Adv Laser Rifle is superior to both (on Flurry) aside from damage type because the server's best resources favor the Adv Laser Rifle and the fact that Adv Laser Rifles can be scoped to give added accuracy bonus which in turn raises your damage output. Oh, and I think a Trando is exactly the same as an Adv Laser Rifle.

I was pleasently suprised that all my Pre-Cu Bowcasters conevrted to Assault Bowcasters with 600 -1010 max. But I still need to find a wookiee WS to make me one Post CU.

Yep...looking for same thing on Gorath too. Seems a lot of the weaponsmiths quit the proff on my server and the only Wookiee WS I knew quit game entirely. Guess I'll just keep that ADK on my Assault Bowcaster converted in teh CU eh?

T21's are extremely slow, but Powerful, I don't know too much about Trandoshan rifles, but if they are good they are slow I know assault Bowcasters kick butt big time because I saw one on the Bazzarre for like 20k or something, and it had good speed and amazing damage something like 700something-1000something for something so cheap, but the down-side is----only for wookies :/
