Often misunderstood is the dps formula. It has been posted many times, on many forums, so for the sake of brevity I will not post it here.

The speed slice is very underrated and in most cases superior to the damage slice. A good real world example of this are pistols. Pistols, in SWG tend to have a much faster speed than the other ranged weapons. Because of this, many players feel that making a "fast" pistol even faster does not help. This is in fact untrue. Take the following example:

Our buddy the Master Pistoleer buys a shiny new gun. It has a minimum damage of 100, a max damage of 200 and the speed is 1.5

The avg dps for this gun in the hands of a master pistoleer is 721.2 using stoppingshot

A 35% speed slice will make the avg dps 1081.7

A 35% damage slice will make the avg dps 973.6

The root of the problem stems from a misunderstaning of the "speed cap". There are 2 main view, both in correct.

#1 all master elites fire at 1x per second. This is just flat out untrue.

#2 Weapon speed below 1.0 does nothing. This is only true for SOME elite masteries. If you are below master, a carbineer, or rifleman...this is waaaaay off.

For details on how to hit the vaunted speed cap. Please see part 2.
