Thread: Best weapons against Mitigration 3 Player?
Confirmed,No,but95% sure. I got this info and the info about the HAM system changes from a sticky post by the fencer corespondant. The way his message reads AND the highly detailed info about mitigration changes and Ham system (includes some good info on how it works) lead me to think he got this info directly from a developer. I've asked for confirmation, but have not received it yet.

With the new damage mitigration coming, the min damage will start playing a increased role in choosing a weapon. As a Rifleman, this will probably be pushing me to use a T-21 in PvP. (or PvE if they give it to NPC characters). For thoses of you who dont know, it seem that the Damage mitigration shrinks the range of weapons. Here are 2 examples against a master ranged elite, (Mitigration 3, 60%)
30-360 Laser rifle, (360-30 = 330 * .40 = 132 + 30 = 162) Damage to Mit 3: 30-162
100-340 T-21 (340-100 = 240 * .40 = 96 + 100 = 196) Damage to Mit 3: 100-196
(Just remembered, jawa stats are ~100-200 on my weapon, i think, That would make its stats 100-140 after Mit 3, Better overall than a laser anyway.)
I was just wondering, Would this change the current "best" weapon for any other professions? Is the powerhammer and fwg5 (or now the republic blaster) still have a obvious lead?

If you are leaving AP out of it, take a look at the Dlt20 of all things.
With mitigation the Dx2 will be the best pistol.
The Dxr6 and Elite Carbines are close to tied for average damage with mitigation. Unlike Master Riflemen, speed does make a difference for Carbines and the Elite is a little faster. The Laser Carbine will still win out for AP2 or 3 opponents.
Am i wrong or the Power Hammer just gonna suck? its the Swordman highest weapon...*sigh*
stats of current power hammer: 143-462 @ 5.2 armor penetration Med
Would the vibro axe: 120-230 (or so) @ 4.2 armor penetration med be better?
