Only my 2c



Is there any evidence that slicing speeds up weapon decay? I haven't seen any.

From the Smuggler FAQ:


"What does Slicing do to my weapon?


  • Sliced weapons get approx. a 5-35% permanent increase in damage(min AND max)OR a 5-35% faster weapon when successfully sliced.

  • The more skilled the Slicer, the better return you'll see. (See the average results below) The weapon is still able to be used with power-ups and repairable as normal.

  • A sliced weapon will decay faster, but not horribly faster.

  • If you slice a weapon with a powerup attached, the powerup is automatically removed (and destroyed) before the slice is performed.

  • If you slice an insured item, it will need re-insuring."

This weapon is only special b/c of the massive DoT, and DoT's work with 1/1 condition weapons, so get it sliced if you want, or don't. It doesn't really matter. Don't believe me about 1/1 dots? Fail a repair on a NS lance and see if it still works.
