ladies and gentlemen, I have a hard thing to admit. Yes, I make weapons, and I'm good at it. Many many people enjoy my wares. However...(dramatic pause), my t-21's are terrible(Gasps from the crowd). I can't break the 7 second barrier, and my damage is too low. (woman faints).
OK, I'm sarcastic, but its true. I dont know if its the resources available on valcyn, or what, but my t-21's are so horrific, I WON'T EVEN USE THEM, and i'm a rifleman.
Its not me, my lasers, e11's pistols, everything else are superb. But t-21s come our like poop. I dont bothe rmaking them anymore. Especially since Spectre's pre-patches are still floating around(I have one
Has anyone else had this problem?
no i don't have that problem... i have 911 OQ alantium 894 OQ Gallorian, 894 OQ Polonium and 938 OQ ditanium... sure my ADV t-21's don't get lower than 7.2spd (7.6spd with stock) but people still buy and use them like crazy... my stocked version come out @ 405 max damage, the regular are 365... i'm a master rifleman and carry both t-21's and a krayt laser on my chr... i find myself using the t-21 more often due to its lower damage variance rather than the laser (771 max damage no stock - sliced and powered)... even in PvP i find myself using a krayt stocked E11 or the t-21 rather than the laser... one good strafe2 and they are toast... the real key to the t-21 is the heavy AP not the max damage...
Using 823 OQ Alantium Ore, 846 OQ Gallorian, 913 OQ Polonium, and 995 OQ Ditanium and my Adv T21s(Adv BPH are 18-37 dmg, I forget the speed) come out at 7.3 spd, 133-364 dmg.
Jahar shoot me an ingame e-mail with the stats of the material you're using.
I fear it might be your Ditanium Steel as that material plays the largest role in the weapons outcome. The ore and gem and iron all play their parts but 150 units of steel per run, and if it's subpar is going to be a drastic hit to the gun.
If it's the ditanium I mgiht beable to help you out but not much. I only have enough myself for 40 T21's
Question from a non-weaponsmith here.
I am a rifleman with a very nice skill tape which means I can fire rifles with a speed of 14.8 with my slowest attack and hit my speed cap. This means I am now willing to look for a weapon that has greater damage at the expense of speed (though ham needs to remain low).
My question is, is it possible to design/experiment purely for damage, or trade speed for damage?

oh, it probably is the ditaneum. I have some of the 1000oq rainbow gem, so its gotta be that and the alantium.
maybe then 7.1/7.2 is the speed cap. I guess i was spoiled with the pre-nerfs around.
Thanks Edowar,
I had figured as such, but thought I had better ask.
