I'm making what I think is a pretty good VK but I'd like to hear from you.
Is the Advanced Vibro Blade Unit dragging me down?
Advanced Vibro Blade Unit
Plinite Copper = UT 725
Desh Copper = UT 366
Class 3 = UT 0 ? does it really matter?
Result:
Min 24
Max 37
Speed -0.34
Wound 12
Range 0: 3
Range Max: 3
Range Ideal: 3
4/4/4
Experiment: 4 points max in damage, 2 points in damage (maxed out now) 4 points efficiency
VK
Iron = SR 990
Steel = SR 960
Copper = SR 782
Experiment all in damage and max out at 10 points
Result:
Speed 2.2
Min: 37
Max: 145
Wound: 37%
Point Blank: +11
Ideal: +11
Max: +11
35/54/35
Thanks, Buzz - Intrepid

My vibro units are pretty much the same as yours. I can get 146 max damage vk's and to get the extra point I need to get a little better platinite copper. I have exaclty the same UT desh copper but I know that it platinit caps at around 770(I think) on my server. 147 or 148is the best you can get right now unless you get a really nice spawn of copper that has SR over 800.
You are doing good but like me you might want to look for a little better platinit or something. You are only 2 points or so from the cap though so the vk's should still sell great.

Thats a very good Vk but a common mistake is to put the extra Experiment into condition or efficiency instead of range. I was able to get +21-22 range on mine with a max of 145. This essentially makes them 8 points better than a theoretical max 147+11 all ranges. Also with a 35% damage they go to 196max damage (rare only had 1/750 do this) which puts these VKs into the over 200 club. If you get to 146max i wouldo scre around with the AVBU and get some more randge maybee sacrificing a point or two of max damage. Currently no-one cares about the HAM costs of a weapon because to do most anything you need buffs, and initial condition on VKs is not an issue.
just my .02

Just a word of advise, TK's aren't really going to care about the range mods since their accuracy is already pretty high. May help in PvP slightly but if you have the extra points use it in HAM. Mind on VK's is a TK's killer.

I put my extra points into HAM cost or effeciency. Having an alt who is a TK dabler I find that mind cost is a killer.

Something to watch for is the new Copper's that were put in for JTL, they appear to have a SR stat cap of 1000. I mined a bunch of 968 SR Copper, which upped the damage on my VK's by one point.
Your AVBU's look good, keep an eye out for some higher SR resources to go into the final build.
Nice VK's.

Thank you all for you input - I at least nowknow for sure these are pretty good.
I've been playing a while and I think WS is where i'll hang my hat.
I have a pretty good time dabbling around with "stuff".
Take care - Thanks again
