Do the slices stack? One of my guildmates says yes it does. I decided to see for myself. I had limited tools to use so I could only do the two slices.
Ok I did a test with a carbine
Damage slices
Original Damage 30-60
2% damage slice (2% of 60 = 1.2) Damage is now 30-61
4% damage slice (4% of 60 = 2.4) Damage is now 31-62
Now if the slices stacked wouldn't my damage be 63 max or a 3.6 point increase? Or is the extra point going to the minimum? Any body else "crunched the numbers?"

The way they have it in the game is a little confusing. In your example below, the first slice increases by 2%. The second slice increases by 2% also giving you a total of 4%. I was watching the numbers and calculating out the expected improvements and it worked fine for me.
Note: If I recall correctly, they do not show the cumulative (sp) totals for the customization percentage, so when it shows 20%, 20%, 30% you'll obviously be up to 70% at that level of slice.

That's what I thought. I was getting reports of a maxed out damage slice hitting 14% over the base not 8% and I just wanted to make sure.
