Damage, SAC and speed.
Higher damage and/or lower speed gives a higher DPS, but when using specials (which you will want to do most of the time) max-damage seems to be the most important stat, and with an empty Action-pool you can't do specials, which means you want as low SAC as possible as well.

O.o
Speaking not as a person auctioning a weapon but as a weaponsmith. All stats. DPS is a false indicator of the stats of a weapon. I'll let another smith post more since I'm tired, lazy and its 1am

Not really... with around 150 tissues I could match the damage, but slower, around 2.6 I think with 73ish SAC. Just logged to sleep so not 100% sure.

i am sorry but that gun u list is awesome.. anyone who tells u its crap is a fool. There are power ups to make the SAC drop by 30%..... No stats is more important then the next as there is a power up for everything, how ever is u happen to get a gun with a Pre Cu scope with the +16 accuracy u cancel out the accuracy mod on those power ups.... Grow up and learn ur business...
Thanks Atham

My comment is not just in relation to this weapon or any Weapon, WS out there just need to realize that there is a power up for everything and that not one stat is most important but that DPS will sell weapons quicker then what low SAC will as more then half the people dont even no what SAC is....
Thanks Atham

So what you're saying is, since most people thinks DPS is the Be All End All of weapon stats, weaponsmiths should only care about making high DPS weapons?
Then I suggest you take your own advice, because this has nothing to do with growing up and learning your profession - quite the contrary, if anything it is simply an excercise in making money on selling junk to ignorant customers. I don't fancy that excercise much, so that's why I said he should look at damage, then SAC, then speed.
I'm closing in on three decades and I know my profession. Do you?

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but this is the right one.

Congrates on turning 30... doesnt mean ur any smarter.. If you want to sell weapons fast sell on DPS and tell them that they can get a SAC power up simple.. plus if u got precu scopes ucancel out the neg accuracy from the power up.. makes more sense then tryin to use a damage power up and lose speed...
Thanks Atham
