Thread: Exceptional DXR-6b?
Well I dont know about Horrible, I know the damage is alot less than the crafted ones. I dropped a powerup on this and its really not bad for damage. I would say even though it says *exceptional, I would call it "situational"
A rifle with that speed,a DOT, very low HAM costand Medium armor piercing seems to me would be a good weapon to have in your arsenal for PVP. I dont however think it would be a good PVE weapon, would be a waste of the DOT charges at least, and there would be better choices for PVE anyway.
Thank you for your honest opinions though.

The "situation" for it then is against an opponent who is completely out of stims and unbuffed.
Damn man, you dont have to get persnickity...
Im sorry to say this,but your weapon is not exceptional at all.
It really has a good delay.
Buy a new one

Its just oo bad the DOT is action and not mind...ohh well the ham is low and the speed is good...discuss
I do not know, guys and gals, I do not think we are getting the whole picture here. It may not have "exceptional" min and max damage, but look at the stats again:
94 - 224 at 3.5 speed, and 8/20/43 on the HAM. Because it is AP2, that makes it basically the equivalent of an acid damage E11 with a speed slice and exceptionally low heath costs..
But it also has a Poison DOT on it. It may not be a Mind Dot, but it has a 58% (better than1 in 2) chanceto put a 102 point Action poision on the target for nearly 7 minutes (413 seconds). At 3.5 speed, even at Special Abilities 3 (speed mod of 60), you can pull that out, pop off two shots on autofire in less than 3 seconds and have a good chance of having applied the Poison. At Master, if you typically fire a couple of Flushingshot2s to Stun them, and not only have a chance of Stunning them, butalso a better than good chance that you applied the poison, and still did it at the speed cap. Heck, you could hit them with Strafeshot2 with this gun and fire off two shots in 2.4 seconds.
Yeah, I have DXR6s that have higher minimum damage than the max damage on that gun (I have at least one at 233minimum damage). But they also havemuch higherHAM costs (60/60/96 on that one, I believe).But I also have E11s that have about that damage range and are a little slower with higher health costs, too. And none of those weapons apply a posion DOT for free like this one does. Just because it is not a one hit killer does not mean it is not exceptional if you compare it to the right thing.
This definitely would not pull in the high credits of a good crafted DXR6b, but it should sell for significantly higher than an E11.
Wow, now thats what I call feedback and well thought out, thanks.
I did manage to get me a crafted one today and It was incredible to say the least. 4.9 spd 278/651 (with a powerup on it)
But like the last guys said I use the looted one for a couple pops and switch out. In fact I wrote a macro to do it for me, and its pretty nice to hit a DOT and then hit Hard right away after it.
Meh...thanks for keeping it real!

I got a DXR-6B rifle that has Mind poison. It is not expetional.
Although it has more damage then this one, but speed is horrible, 7.0.
7.0 is not horrible. Get to +97 spd and you can fire an 8.0 T21 at the cap for all specials. At master rifle with some skill tapes, the speed of your weapon is irrelevant... unless of course youre talking about some 11 spd looted tusken.
