On my 557-1170 3 speed 104 SAC hammer, should I use +damage (increases damage to like 630-1263, speed to 3.25) or -SAC (86 SAC, -11 accuracy)?

Personally, i would use sac powerups, it makes a really big differance in my eyes. Its not like they re really expensive though, so you can always go out and try them for yourself. Also, im not exactly a pvp'er, so my experience is mostly in pve for this...

id use some of each depending on the situation. if you need high damage quickly use the damage pups. otherwise probably the sac ones make you better in a long fight.

Uh there is virtually no question that you should use the SAC pup on that one. You'll get off about5 specials before your action bar is completely wasted. You will end up doing more damage with a sac pup over time because you can do more specials.

if you have one, i say put sac pup on it.

I'm a fencer but I have 3 weapons I pvp with. One insane damage high SAC, one medium damage medium sac, one low damage low SAC. Once you're getting your SAC down to 60ish you're doing alright and over time you'll be doing more damage. The low damage low SAC is the one I'm using most of the time in one vs one and one vs two/three. You can do nothing with no action other than heal and melee hit.


I like the medium damage medium SAC (70ish) for medium scale pvp battles, these I usualy have time to regain action before I need it again.


The heavy hitter is getting used less and less, there are times when 1k damage per second is useful but I can only keep that damage up for about 5 seconds and if they can out heal that damage (alot of people can no a days) Then I'm left with melee hit again.


Also remember if you haven't ADKed it, a damage pup or speed pup will decay your weapon very very fast.


SAC is where it's at now a days.


Mr_Anoymous even though he sucks at pvp and Jeff who also sucks at pvp but for some reason can hold me to a draw know what they are talking about

SAC without question. Your not going to kill most players by frontloading damage unless you have someone /assisting you.

actually, I can kill anyone but a Jedi by just frontloading... but seeing as I'm fighting mostly Jedi, SAC seems better
