Last night I got hit by a Pistol for 1500hp in 1 shot!
(Last ditch shot?) and I had full suit of ST armour on!

I'm sorry but isn't Rifle suppose hit bigger in 1 shot?

I manage to get 1 Strafeshot 2 off before he hit me and that did about 400 damage! with my T21 sliced/powered up.

Whats the biggest you have hit for in PVP?

4 rebels walked into Bestine lastnight buffed nearly 3k each. I imagine they took down 10-15 imperials. Then I came, inaround 8shots they had 0 mind pool and where sniper shot. When in pvp try to think blue.

Yeah i always think blue when they are buffed, but 1500hp damage seems very high in 1 shot compared to rifle do you not think?

an uber pistol with a perfect roll against an un-armored opponent - yeah, i can see that happening.

i've rolled 1100 dmg strafe2's against non-armored opponents with my 175-597 T21. I'm sure some of the people with 700+ laser rifles have rolled even better.

that's not the norm, that's an exception. not something to call nerf on.

besides- those uber pistols are already "fixed".

with the 75% damage redux in pvp, the 1500 pt hitwould take a 6k pistol shot. with a launcher pistol, or other ar1 weapon, that gets knocked down to 4800 required against no armor.

last ditch is a 6x damage mod, so you'd need an 800 pt shot base.

800 ptbase get's mod'd 150% for ranged weaponry. you need a pistol with top-end damage of600 toget an 800pt base shot, which would give you a 4800 pt last ditch, which would give you a 1500 pt hit against no armor.

so, according to my math, you'd need a republic blaster, scatter pistol, or launcher pistol for ar 1 doing a max damage of around 600. a 33% powerup means the base gun after damage slice would have to be 450-ish damage.

that's possible with really really good krayt tissues.

sounds like you got hit with the heaviest hitting pistol special, by someone with absolute top notch equipment.

I had FULL ST armour on -

I'm not crying nerf!

I just wondered what top damage rifles did compared to this.

And if this is the case then you need to just /tiphat and say "Good shot!"

ST armor has many holes... its like Rebel Armor right?

Does it protect against Blast? or Acid? or Energy?

Reason I ask is because that is what the Launcher, Scatter, and Republics are...

On top of that, are these resists, special resists? b/c if they aren't, they don't gain the armor light bonus and the armor light piercing of the Scatter and Republic basically null your resists on your ST armor...

ST armor looks nice, has low hams, and is probably ideal for hunting rebel Faction Missions... not killing players... look at the current Jawa Ion Rifle problem... I can spam hs3 2 times and end up killing a player wiht 1k mind

ST armor really isn't that great, get ham sliced composite... a complete suit has about 300/250/300 total ham cost... get it made with krayt scales so every protect gets the armor light bonus by making every piece have special protects to everything... now that would be something impressive to get a 6k shot through..

Oh and my best hit in PVP was 2k Strafe2 shot, with a 756 max damage prenerf t21... my TKA friend fell down in 1 shot at 30m

helmet didnt help him if you were using a laser rifle, T21, or jawa rifle. The first two for being over AR1, the third for being stun damage.

I have strafe2 for over 1.2k Which hit his mind pool and he didnt have a helm on...

Ion rifle 700+ right through any compo armor....I can kill anyone unbuffed in 2-3shots with the jawa ion.

1200 with T21 (634 max) SS2

690 with same T21 HS3

Last night I shot an unarmored Wookie Smuggler with Strafe II. Laser max damage was at 720. Hit wookie smuggler for 1400pts of damage, dropped full health wookie in one shot, snipershot followed 1.5 seconds later. Muhahahaha
