Apparently my schematic for scatter pistol still requires an ABPH yet on complete great successes I have lost .4 speed and 38 damage yet still maintaining its powerhandler /scratchhead

EEMAN Could I have a comparison of your Pre-Patch scatters VS your Post patch scatters?

scatters lost about 40 dmg depending on the stats of your PH.

It's not a stealth nerf. They said they would be changing the schematics for those weapons that had slots for two enhanced subcomponents...ie power handler AND feed mechanism. It just happens to be that the FWG5 lost the power handler while the Scatter lost the feed mechanism.



Maybe now we will actually see people using some of the other available pistols instead of every single pistol user carrying around an FWG5.

And maybe now people who only have Pistol 4 in the Marksman Profession are totally screwed. Not to mention WS.

Sheeesh! what a spin doctor you are. Yes, now everyone will be using Box II scout blaster, because they are now the best weapon. Now that's whatI call a real fix. Sorta reminds me of how my dog was "fixed"

I just had a very strange experimentation on a scatter. It brought the min dam up, but hardly touched the max dam. The final stats make it so that, with a good slice, the min dam will be higher than the max dam. This happen to anyone else?

How's that work? Slicing is a percentage increase on both, so min won't be higher than max after a slice unless it's already like that now.


A lot of people will probably start using republic blaster for the armor piercing, or scout blaster for DPS. It'll be like the days before advanced components when FWG5s sucked and everyone used scouts.

I don't know much about slicing, but it was explained to me that a damage slice is an either/or deal, not both. If that's wrong, then it clears up my confusion a bit. Although still strange that a 30% powerup would put the min over the max. I
