search is not my friend today
Are there any high end kinetic damage rifles that compare to the Wookiee Assault Bowcaster?
If so, what would it's capped damage and sac be?
Thanks!

I didn't think so but just wanted to double check. Other then the bowcaster, seems that the only other kinetic rifles I've been able to findare at CL 40.

The LD-1 rifle, which you can only get as loot, and can't craft, is a level 50 kinetic rifle.

Anyone know if there is damage cap on the LD-1?
I'm pretty certain LD-1s can take an 8% damage slice.

Just a point of observation regarding the Beserker Rifle -- unlike most (all?) other rifles, the speed is 1.95 (like a carbine). It still has the range of a rifle, 65M.
The DPS on a Beserker with max dmg and speed of 2.04 is 300. It would be possible, I think, to make a Beserker with a sliced speed of 1.80 and capped on dmg. That would provide a base DPS of around 340.
Less likely, but perhaps possible, is a Beserker with a sliced speed of around 1.72. That would provide a base DPS of 355.
The action is capped at 82.
I'm not capable of saying whether this is good or bad gun, I just wanted you to know what is potentially available.

Are you sure on that 1.95 speed thing on the Berserker? As far as I'm aware, it has identical stats to the Tusken rifle. Here's a screenshot of a Berserker I put together the other week. Its one of the best Berserkers I've seen. It was made with a reinforced casing and a 40/40 pre-CU stock that still had the damage mods on it. On the subcomponents, I experimented just enough SAC to ensure I'd cap on assembly, and then I put the rest into speed. On the final build, I maxed out the damage line first, (since I wanted a high min damage and not just capped max damage,) and then I put the rest into speed. The gun hasn't been sliced yet, because I'm still debating between going with a speed slice or a critical hit slice.

I made a similar zerker ..differences are i stopped at dmg cap and put the rest in speed,think it came out 2.2 ish
then i sliced for 10% crit hit.based on a master rifles prob wouldnt need much more speed and my own personal observations on them crit hits with any specials
