at the moment for my guild i am mainly doing level 4 speed as these seem to boost dps the most . whenever i do the slice i always make sure that the slice isn't going to be hindered by the cap by asking what modified speed that player has if its around the 1.3+ mark i will always do the slice as it never seems to drop the modified below 1.0 then
when do you think damage slice's should come into play? maybe on krayt gorax weapons where the player has capped the speed already?
please input what you guys think

I use DMG slices on looted weps, for instance, the DC-15. As MSmug/MTK, I have 444 dps with a dmg powerup. (better than some old laser rifles I was using, haven't gotten a new one yet).
I expect 'them' to fix the DMG slice to go above the dmg cap pretty soon, since thats the whole point of a dmg slice. right? And hopefully criticals as well

Speed will always get you more base DPS, but DPS is nearly useless as a measure of actual damage. The max damage stat on the weapon is used when calculating damage from special attacks, so unless you're just spamming Ranged Shot and not using any specials, the DPS displayed on the weapon has no relation to actual potential damage.
