brian9v Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 OK, I'm workin on building a PvP pistoleer, and my question is would a tangle pistol be a better choice to PvP with against someone equipped with composite armor? Heres my reasoning for thinking that: Tangle pistol does stun damage, which most composite armor doesn't resist at all. Yes, some does, but the highest I've seen is 15% and I believe then the other statistics are lowered. Lets say (rounding the numbers to make it simpler) my tangle does 50-100 @ 2.0 speed (speed sliced). My target is equipped with a full set of comp armor, but none of it is resisting stun damage so he should be taking full damage (minus of course the PvP damage reductions, which I believe are the same for all types of weapons). Now, compare that to say my FWG5 which does 100-200 @ 2.0 speed. Most decent composite is resisting 70%-80% on everything but stun, and so the heat damage would be reduced 70%, right? This is where I've had conflict. I've been told that the reductions are a bit more complicated. But assuming I have the situation correct, the FWG5 would only be doing 30-60 damage. Compared to the tangle thats considerably less and at the same speed (assuming you get your tangle speed sliced, because they come pretty slow ;|). If I could I'd like an explanation to go along with the answer, and if your post is an assumption, please state so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
