Weapon / skill dmg question

[superfresh]

One for the vets-

Let's say you build two weapons, one has an item damage % of 116, the other of 120.

Will my skill damage cap be the same for both? Or will I need more skill in that particular weapon specialty to cap the 120?

[SorkZmok]

The higher the damage% on the gun, the less skillpoints you need to cap it.

[superfresh]

Duh that's right. Thanks...

So then my next question. Will the maximum damage on a capped 116 be the same as a capped 120?

[El Jimben]

The gun that has 120/arti dmg will do exactly the same amount of damage as the 116 wep as long as capped (178% on the wep).

[netster]

will be the same damage...

[___T-X____]

Same Damage. Your looking for the 178% DMG figure in the lower stat box

Great thanks guys :)

just to rub it in...



The weapons build percentages are stat modifiers, and are just factors in the weapons stats.


you can´t "overcap" a weapon by capping a 110 % and then start using a 120 %

otherwise all melee tanks would be using a stiletto..

Na. I built a rare on a friend's constructor and messed it up with the wrong mods. Its dmg stat is 116%. I'm fairly close to capping it, but since I'm in the home stretch on my stats I want to plan accordingly for when I build a 120%.

So I'm assuming from what it sounds like that I should underscore the 116 a bit on my combat stats, since on the 120 I'll hit around 178%.

Superfresh check your PM's mate.

You will need more points to cap freq anyway, so there is no point at modding for dmg, skills will overcome that anyway.

[superfresh]

Ew I modded it for dmg and range :/ Wanted to do dmg and freq.

[SorkZmok]

Doesnt matter anymore.

Its piss easy to cap the crappiest 1 slot rare weapon now. :rolleyes:
