Smuggler Archive

Hey guys,

I was wondering if some of you could tell me why my slices are consistently low, I have a few potential theories of my own as well.

I earned (not respeced!) Slicing IV a few days ago and began slicing my own weapons soon after to see its effects. I have to say im pretty disappointed.

On my lvl 14 stiker pistol, i think I made it 2% faster, on my geonosian sonic pistol and other lvl 30 pistol I only sped it up for 8% more speed.

I sliced a higher lvl bowcaster (i believe it was lvl 40-50) and the slice was a slightly more acceptable at 18% speed.

So can slicing only increase a weapon marginally if its below say a lvl 50 weapon? I know a master smuggler will increase the avg slices but these are so low. Also I never get any indication the dmg has gone up, the prompt only tells me if i've increased the speed at all. Any help for a new player would be great.
