the damage itself didnt go up

the damage per second went up...the average of damage/time it takes to fire.

so granted the max damage might be lower...with a faster gun, in some cases, the maximum potential damage output you can deal per second may increase vs having a slower but higher damage gun.

i'll post accurate numbers reflecting this in a minute

Just one question..I am not a smuggler yet, so I'm confused as to why the damage went up if you did a speed slice.

constants: a master pistoleer will have +74 pistol speed.

ok here are the dps stats:

for the gun as picture: 2.6 440max.

highest dps came from fanshot: dps: 744.6 actual att speed: 1.6

stopping shot was 558.4dps, actual att speed 2.7

last ditch was 670.1 dps, actual att speed of 2.7

now, lets say i drop the max dmg down to 331(like it would be with no max dmg Pup) and instead use a max speed Pup,knocking 33% off, dropping the gun speed to 1.7 from 2.6

the dps for fanshot is now: 933.3dps at an actual att speed of 1.1

stopping shot: 699.9dps at an actual speed of 1.9

last ditch would be 839.9 at an actual att speed of 1.8

now lets say i made this thing a nail driver and got a 31%dmg slice then added a 33%dmg Pup, the max dmg would be 576(which sounds nuts for a pistol) at a speed of 3.7

while a single shot would pack one hell of a punch.....it would be 2.3 seconds in between shots using fanshot, at a dps of 684.3.

oddly enough the highest attainable dps would be by using healthshot 1 at a dps of 790 at a 1.0s delay.

so you see this is one case where a faster gun matters. now....lets say ur a BH pistoleer, which i am not, i am tkm, msmuggler master pistoleer

BH's get an additional +50 pistol speed correct? making the max pistol speed mod +124

in this case...this is one insanely deadly weapon. a bh pistol IV with master pistoleer would have an absolute maximum damage per second of 1975 with stopping shot at an actual speed of 1.0s. in this case the players personal speed mod would totally negate the speed of the gun.

now if you are a truly uber player, then you would be master pistoleer with +25 pistol speed in SEA's and AA's giving you +99 pistol speed. again the speed of the gun would be negated, and you could take up master smuggler...giving you a DPS of 2370 with last ditch.

so depending on the build of the character, and most people will not have the +25 pistol speed mod tapes, hell +18 pistol speed from attachments would give you over 2k dps with last ditch.

this is where the gun would truly shine.

My other char is a master pistoleer and my DE-10 came out to a 4.1 speed (damage slice and -.3 tissue). At 4.1 I noticed no difference in the speed from my 1.7 Rep Blaster. And it dishes out a lot more damage.

so the barrels are still bugged in live? or are they intended not to have stats? I'm supposed to be buying the schematic and barrel tonight, and I didn't even think to ask if the barrels had any stats :-/ I just assumed they were fixed by now.
