Thread: Is a set of 165 dmg power cells usually good enough to double cap?

The Heavy Lightning Rifle I made the other day with 160 something power cells came out stat wise of around 83 SAC 1116 max damage and 2.5 or so speed. You may get a little better results from your weaponsmith on your server but it will probably be a little shy of the damage cap unless you sacrifice some SAC or something like that. This is all before slice.. after slice you could probably do just fine.

you basically need a 1000 dmg base build and 184 dmg EPC or Krayt to double cap. You can put a few more points on DMG for the ABPH instead of speed and that should make it a tad easier. Speed will slow down a bit though.

I'd say, SAC cap the ABPHs, give rest to speed, then SAC cap the APRBs, give rest to speed. The stock should be SAC capped (unlike while using a stack of 180+ power cells) and the rest put into speed again.


If bespin ports help and resources are good, I think you wouldn't be needing to spend too much experimentation points on the SAC reduction to cap it at 82, and you could put the rest into damage toget it close to the cap. But yes, you might need a 1000 base damage post assembly.


But yes, it would be a tad slower, but not too slow. -22 SAC on the stock with a speed addition, or -12 SAC or so with speed reduction? The choice is yours. You can always go for a full speed slice, or a 1/2 speed slice + the rest into critical slice (for HLRs of course, since you're a BH anyway I'm assuming).



That's just my 2 cents.

If you use one of those BH adv weapon stocks and played on bloodfin, I could easily cap you at 1150 for the HLR dmg, and then get it into the high 80s on SAC. Without one of those stocks you're looking at capped SAC, but around 1130 dmg. It's a trade off and unless you had higher, like 175+, you're probably not going to see the double cap.
