I am currently working on an assassin. I am making him a spy. My general setup is gonna be 200+ wep lore and about 165 RC. I know the RC is low but I was thinking when considering the formulas that the high wep lore would be able to compensate for the low RC. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

p.s. He is gonna be a near total long ranger sniper.

wep 160 is enough to capp all rifles

My guess is an artifact tl112 or 113 rifle will cap at 159wpl and 180rc.
So i have no idea why you'd go so low in RC.......

You can be a hacking tl115 poking stealther of death if you spec your points right.

(if you drug you can be lethal as hell in close combat too)

Hmmm here is the fromula im working from:

Rifle Weapon Damage:
Skill Factors involved: 0.7(70%) RC + 0.25(25%) WEP

I was thinking that by over specing WEP lore it would help offset the low RC.

The reason my RC is low is that I wanted 88 veh. for tactical insertions.

Problem is there's a softcap on RC, but not on WPL. Meaning even if you overspec WPL you most likely won't cap FREQ on your rifles, the other stats will most likely be capped though. I think the softcap is around 174-176???

so then beyond 175 wep lore i dont gain any more of a bonus to RC do to my over speccing?

Aim for 160 weap lore and around 180 - 185 rifle depending on the stats on your HL/SH. This should be easy, and you dont even need an SA, plus if you want to rely on 3 drugs you can have insane resists too.

i think ill spec for 134 barter and put the rest into wep lore.

as a side question how well would a PE in a rhino aim with no wep lore? I looked at the formula and it states the HC is more important for aiming then wep lore.
