Scout Archive

BaneShee, I was thinking about slicing my FWG5. Thanks for the info. I figure by the time my gun is dead, Rel will have a better version of the FWG5, just like his scout blasters keep getting better and better.

One other note, The FWG5 looks much cooler than the Scout Blaster. I can actually tell I'm carrying a gun.

DH17 made well is an awesome firearm. The Scout Blaster is pretty much the fastest, so it's good for killing small critters quickly. That's why I personally think it's good for scouting experience, but the larger weapons are better for more dangerous game.

I am pretty sure DH17 is a Carbine weapon and NOT a pistol.

I am using one and it gives me Carbine XP and is listed as a Carbine.

Emerald, there are DH 17 Carbines and DH 17 pistols. Just an fyi.

I'm using a DH17 PISTOL made by Mambres, on Scylla server. It looks like a carbine, but it defenitely gives me pistol xp. It confused me for a while too, but I'm not going to complain.

Mule are you saying a scout blaster is good for small game, but a bigger pistol is better for large game?

I disagree completly the low action cost of the scout blaster makes it the premire large game weapon. I can do almost twice the number of special moves with a scout then with a fwg5 do to the losw action cost, then add in the scouts fast speed and its no contest, big game goes down easiest and quickest with a scout blaster.

/hugs his 1.9 67-144 scout blaster

a name you will all want to remember.

flans floobis.

bought a scout blaster yesterday.

holy cow. what a marvel.

To be honest - flans doesnt like to talk to me a whole lot about pricing and such - but if you can get him to give you a waypoint to his shop - just outside bestine on tatooine - you wont be let down.

BTW - bring your pocketbook - price are steep - however - high quality slice + high quality base product = worth it.

Specs that matter

unreal.

who and where please!

btw flans is on radiant.

Find a weaponsmith and make him your personal arms dealer. A lot of the stats I am seeing in this thread are incredibly sub-par.

As for better. The Power5 that I am using beats about 80% of the guns you guys are talking about, and since I know it wasn't sliced or experimented highly I know it can be better.

Player made guns make so much difference. You won't find the best guns on the bazaar, you will either buy them directly from the weaponsmith or from their store. I think playstyle has alot to do with it too, whether you like to kite/group/get close, etc.

I'm at work right now, so I don't have the exact stats on me ofmy guns. Right now, I use both a Scout Blaster, and an FWG5, and swap them depending on the situation.

My Blaster is a bit faster, its specials are less HAM costly, and it has a better close range bonus.

However, my FWG5 has better maximum damage, and a much better long range penalty.

When I solo, I do tend to use the blaster more. However, if I'm grouped with rifle or carbine users, I pull out the FWG5, and also support with trap damage, because they tend to stay back farther.
