130's very good for a stun baton, which doesn't make it incredibly useful, I know. The only possible use for this weapon is PvP, where stun damage can be very powerful. With those numbers though, i'd doubt it's even incredibly useful for that. This weapons cannot take enhancements either (i.e. krayt tissue)so, there's really nothing that can be done to improve upon what you're already seeing.

ya mine are 2.5 spd 133 max damage... stun damage isn't extremely useful in PvP (unless they are wearing armor) but there are quite a number of high level mobs where stun damage is one of the few weaknesses (Peko Peko Albatross for one)

The finest stun batons are loot drop complete weapons with (legendary) in thier name. But you will probably never see one of these so you need to go for player made.

There are some things you can do to help yourself get a better baton.

The new geno reinforcement cores can be better than the average player made cores and can be used in stun batons. however these are not out legally yet. If you are going to buy them from players or obtain them yourself then you do so at your own risk. They will be out legally very soon anyways so might as well just wait.

Anyways back to the cores themsleves. Looted complete cores are generally not very good. however there are also schematics for them that drop as well and thats what you need. Get 3 schematics. Then get a good number of power cubes and enhancing agent tubes. You'll need about 20+ of each, and sets are great. You can find all these components in the new geno dungeon when it opens in a week.

Take the whole lot a really good melee smith and have him make you as many cores as possible with perfect experimentation. If you have sets with 4 or more then its good to factory these.

Then put the good cores into stun batons. If you have chosen a good weaponsmith they will have used the best materials for you. in the end you are shooting for about 5 or more batons, perfect build. Take your batons to a reputable master smuggler and cross your fingers for a 30%+ damage slice on one of them.

Next go find an artisain who is selling 32% or higher power-ups and get some crates of 32% Mind / 16% max damage to put on your weapon.

You will finish with a stun baton that does 210+ max damage at about 2.5 spd. Don't worry about the speed, if you can get your 1 handed speed skill up to or close to 100 then speed becomes mute as everything will cap out at 1.0 spd.

The quest to find the cores is not easy and if you wanted you could just use player made cores with an end result that is only about 15-20 points damage differnce.

Hope this helps

They are useful for one other thing, the people that want custom ones with weird names, I made one a guy wanted named Thunderstick 5000. Heh, the customer is always right.

speaking of stun batons, is there a hard cap on the bryothesis gem's SR? Just curious because I have 2 kinds, butoh under 350SR.

It definitly looks that way. best one on swgcraft is 412, but it looks like it has a lower cap of 300 too.

thx for the great tip...on cores...good luck with your weapon sales
