Can anyone tell me why the Jawa Ion rifle is the preferred rifle in PvP? We have rifles that are faster and certainly do more damage than the Jawa Ion..What am I missing?

The Jawa Ion rifle does stun damage, wich most armor doesnt protect against, so if u have a jawa ion rilfe equipt, then u can do more damage to other players.

It dose stun damage, wich is the only vuln on composite armor (comp armor is the most protective armor in swg so far). Comp armor can be made w/ a stun layer but that only gets up to about 40%stun res onthe very best stun layers, but is still very low compared to the 90% res you can get on all other types of damage in comp armor. So the jawais the most effective weapon for dealing damage to armored players.

Of course if you're facing unarmored foes, there are better rifles out there

Basically, even if your opponent has good(20-30%) stun protection on their composite, a good Jawa will still do more damage, unless you have a pre-nerf T21.

Because it looks the coolest.

Or Stun damage like everyone else has stated.

well a good group of pvpers are getting the stun lair on their armor so i am forced to use the t21 more. I end up doing more damage this way.

Plus its kinda funny when you shoot someone that doesnt have a full suit on(some people do this) and you hit an unprotected spot. They go down pretty quick.

I just dont use the jawa as much as I use to. Up against someone I havent pvped before i try to keep my options open. (so I dont know if they have stun lair on armor or if they use shields ill start of with the jawa, but always keep an eye on the damage you are doint, and have another rifle hotkeyed)

A stun gun isn't always best. What some of you are forgetting to do is to factor in the added armor. Adding stun layers doesn't only add resists, it also adds it into the AR1 group which gives it more bonuses. With a psg, the mitigating stun damage gets pretty low.

With my full setup, synthsteak, psg, 3 layer stun armor. I take very little damage from stun gun wielding rifleman.

The T21 on the other hand as AP3... and will shred thru the armor protection, and then some. The only thing left to contend with would be the resists. Which for "most" people are going to be in the 55 - 60% range, (assuming your stun gun failed, it's unlikely they will have high energy resists to boot)

I love how people prance around talking about they're 90% gear, but the fact of life is most people are not armored so well. 90% is rare. Although reading comments at times you'd think this was entirely all too common in SWG.. It just isn't.
