im 12 point no fs skills. have top notch resources and crafting in a craft city.

just crafted a high capacity scatter with a 171 max abph, the pistol barrel was -9 action cost but when i started crafting the gun it was 88 sac, i got it down to 65 sac but only had 5 points left for working on damage. speed wsa 2.23 at this stage.

total damge came out to 858, way below what ive seen on server. i could get it sliced to damage cap but then speed is only 2.23

just wondering what im doing wrong. i know i could use a better abph but that takes expensive stuff to make one and i cant get the money back by selling the gun, rifles yes but not scatters.

any tips? all my resources for the gun and components are very high up on the resource green meter bar.

doesn't sound like you experimented speed on your barrel. With krayt tissue no way should your scatter be that slow. What % are you maxing out at if you experiment a single line on the scatter? Are you buffed by a musician?


on ABPH i always max out SAC then rest in speed, on final builds I max out damage usually then SAC, but seems like you want 65SAC so you can still work it the other way but you are still going to be sacraficing dmg.

Please post the stats of your barrel as well

Post stats of ABPH too.

I dont recall what exact stats for each component were but the componetns i went all into sac first then rest into damage. if there was no sac id go speed or damage first then rest into either speed or accuracy(scopres)

I was under the impression that speed on components the game only takes 10% of it into account so i never really bothered playing with that.

I also found some looted scopes with -0.76 speed and crafted another scatter with that and speed was at 2.13 instead of the other gun so it doesnt appear to make much of a difference.

Im buying some power cells now though gonna play around with those and see what i can come out with.

Ill go sac then speed on components this time it only sacrifices maybe 5 damage really.

Thanks.

Well if you are serious about doing custom crafts and predicting what they'll come out as you should get factory runs of a couple different builds of parts and play around to see what suits you best. Using anything less than amazing but experiment components cheats the final build, it adds up.
