Thread: Has anyone made high end Striker or SR Combat Pistols?
Why anyone would waste loot enhancements on the SR is beyond me, but I often trick out Strikers for NS hunters.
With a high calibre pro pistol barrel and a +38 dmg -.27 spd spider fang I got a striker that was 168 max 2.1 spd pre slice. I made 3 of these, and got 2 of those damage sliced. The better of the two is226 max and I'll let you do the math on the power up...
You need not even use spider fangs. Their are enough enhancements quest rewards to make a rewarding striker. If you merely get all the advanced parts you can do pretty well. Then again you can just go the attachment road and add those as you need on a basic striker.
They are good on nightsisters no denying that, but if you are going to tandem them which you about need too. Then a few good ideas wiremesh traps are excellent, as is jawa ion rifles. I found that just useing these you can pretty much double a tka team mates damage on a night sister.
BH's and smugglers w/o novice pistoleer have no other options for AP1 energy. Simple as that.

So why wouldn't they just hunt up a pre-patch Rep Blaster? Still no cert needed and a well made one is at least 40+ on damage and about .7 faster )which is important to Smugglers especially) not to mention the superior range. Krayt either or slice either and the same still applies. So it still comes back to the fact that enhancers on the SR and the SR in general is a waste of time.

Because it's not necessarily the best solution. Firstly, these will be limited in supply. Secondly, due to this, the prices for such may very well be beyond reason. Thirdly, no one wants to spend inordinate amounts of time trying to find something available and affordable.
We're talking affordable and readily available things, not out of game relics from the past. It'd be like arguing against pistoleers who are wanting a high damage pistol that 'there once existed pre nerf super dooper tissue krayt FWG5s with over 700 damage, go hunt one of those down seeeee'.
That being said I do think SR combats are a bit poor, but that wasn't the point

Sorry but pre-nerf republic blasters are not that hard to find, I bought one for 6K off the bizaar the other day. Calling them relics from the past is an exaggeration - they are relics from a couple weeks ago (pre-publish 7).
