So i got my War Hero Sniper Rifle (which looks great btw). Didnt want to trade it off for elegant modified sniper, which is one of two aug models that i've seen so far selling on GTN, but ended up doing it thinking i would get slightly better overall dmg from augm.
AFter spending 100k on rifle, 160k on ripping mods from WH rifle and about 70k for augment, i realize that custom rifle is now getting me less dmg (went from 917 max with WH rifle to 880 with custom).
Turns out my stripped-of-mods-WH-rifle is still holding about +50 tech dmg and has a base dmg of 40-50, while custom is only about 6-10.
In the end, I spent 340k for a worst weapon. Now, just have to strip the mods again and put them bach on WH sniper, meaning another 160k....Waist of time and creds. Am i missing something?
