Whats the highest min damage you've seen for the advanced laser rifle, heavy lightning rifle, and trando? I'm interested in purchasing one of said guns with the best possible min damage, just wondering what to expect.
Thanks,

I have all the cash required to buy the best weapon, just trying to get a feel for what min damage I could get. Also, could someone point out what special components would be required to accomplish this so I can let the WS know?
Thanks,

I'm used to capped guns with 82 sac. Any idea what kind of sac increase we're talking about here?

we are talking +20 its bad for sac with Formfitted stocks and the new power cells I managed to get 90 sac so it can get reasonable

Well if you dont care about sac then Id get the WS to use a formfitted stock (obtained from the Imp themepark) but this will heighten the sac on the weapon a lot. otherwise theres really no possibilities of getting the min dam up atm

I just saw this post on the bh board. Has anyone experimented with this idea? If so, what stats did the gun end up with? I'm interested in any rifles made.
Thanks,

I think this is a great question for the WS's. I'm having a WS on my server trying to find a way to get the min as high as possible.

I made the following ALR
[N*W]Enhanced Advanced Laser Rifle
AS 2.68
Dam 493-1184 (Max damage cap and improved min damage for better result when using pups)
AC 21 <-- High Accuracy
DPS 312.59
SAC90
It did sell eventually, but the interest for this type of weapon wasnt exactly great.
I enjoyed making the Dam capped rifle without slicing though so for myself it was a great success
I havent asked the person who bought it how it has played out so I cant comment on the use

What I have a WS working on is an ALR with 1095ish max damage, capped SAC and as high min damage as possible. Then I'll damage slice to try to get the min as high as possible. I have one ALR that has a min of 561, but is not max damage capped.

As far as being able to experiment min dmg past the cap this is correct.
Depending on the weapon a ws will hit the resource cap (max experimentation %) at around 95-99% usually its possible tocontinue experimentinga point or two and when you do the max dmg will not increase but the min will.
Unfortunately this usually will happen after you experiment 9 points into dmg (Unless you luck out and get a number of amazing sucesses) so doing this doesn't leave much to reduce sac or speed.
Each experimentation point (great sucess) is 7% of the experimentation percentage so most WS would consider it a waste to add another point if they're at 95% experimentation since they could use that 7% (or more if they get an amazing) on other stats.
If a weapon is enhanced and already at the sac cap then it would be well worth the extra points toward dmg since you can slice for speed.
I know pre CU the min dmg for a weapon was the most important factor for PVP, however from what I can tell there is still some debate about the effectiveness of min dmg post CU.
If it's a custom build and the client requests going past the resource cap on dmg then go for it.
