Who is doing the stats - Common Phaser FA vs VR AP FA

These stats are WHACK!

My toon has carried the Common Phaser Full Auto MK XI during the progression to 50, and then I got a Very Raer Voth Anti-proton Full Auto MK XII only to find that this weapon is woefully inferior to a weapn lower in quality and mark rating.

I have to wonder why this special VR weapon is so poor when compared with a common weapon. :confused:

    Don't tell the devs these things yo. They instantly fix powerful things meaning less time to bug fix real issues that can be game breaking at times. Spare the devs, don't post things that are powerful.

    You seem to have it backwards; the common FA reads right, but the voth VR FA is heavily nerfed. The editing was to make a Voth VR FA (with DMG 2) nowhere near what is should be. :rolleyes:

    Oh my bad, in that case why bother posting it, it's probably not going to get fixed. But there is a thread for such issues I think in bug report section? It's like 1,000 pages long and involves a lot of upgrade issues so get in line, I'm still waiting to be able to upgrade sonic weapons without losing modifiers.

    Edit: Dang it I'm not that old a player and I'm already cynical, this makes me sad. I need to re-evaluate my priorities.

    Question: did it say the same thing when you entered a ground map?

    Edit: verified myself, yes. common phaser auto-rifle is apparently the most powerful weapon in the game ATM.

    No it isn't. a IX Common FAR right now reads as higher than my XIV dyson experimental rifle and XIII adapted Mako pulsewave. Everything else is right (including the Voth AP FAR), its these standard full auto rifles that are ****ed up (all types and rarity too).

    All full auto rilfes got a major DPS boost, at least on paper. I don't know if it's a reporting error or not, but some say they seem to be hitting harder as well.

    I suspect the voth one isn't quite a full auto since its primary fire method is NOT the 3-round burst. Hence it didn't get the major buff on the tool tip. Compare your phaser full auto rifle to a purple Mk XII Phaser full auto rifle, if you want a true comparison. As it is you're comparing a full auto to a compression bolt rifle, or some-such.

    This is actually the real issue and is already being fixed next patch, I went from top 20 on ground DPS charts to like top 60 because of it.

    You use TR-116 for bugs? o.0 pulsewave do the most DPM I believe, but I use split beam cause it helps teams win faster due to the flying bugs.
