The way speed works in this game is borked. It's one of the, if not the main issue for Pistoleer (and that's counting the fact that 80% of their specials are broken/useless). The way speed works will be getting changed in the combat revamp, or if we're lucky it'll be the thing that they change before the revamp. When that happens speed slices will be far more effective.

Okay...possibly. BUT I'm also saving you sometimes MILLIONS of credits in attachements and power ups. Good ones aren't cheap. If you're a sword swinger it's literally MILLIONS for ONE good speed e.a. So yeah, maybe 100 damage points or MILLIONS of credits. I'm not saying it's a BETTER deal, just that it's not the worthless crappy slice that everyone says it is. OR another way to look at it is say you've got a gun that's got good to great damage anyway...now you've speed sliced to put you at the cap. You can spend your SEA's and even Power Ups on OTHER really good things like dodge, defense, and accuracy. It doesn't ALWAYS have to be "He with the highest damage weapon wins." There ARE other stastics and being well rounded is NOT a bad idea in this game.
I totally agree but then my post was never about strategy butabout dps 
I'm a firm believer that it doesn't matter how fast you can output damage. If you can't hit the target, it doesn't do a thing.
