Moondancerbb Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 So i just got both Puncture and Super heated rail for what i assume is a combined 90% armor penetration on rail shot. I did not see a significant increase in my damage output on this maybe 100 but that could just be RNG. So my question is do they actually stack?

Ramosus Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I honestly dont see a difference in rail shot either with the 90% arp, but you'd have to test that out yourself. The proc effect works beautifully though and it's a must to spec into regardless whether the 30% arp works or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proc effect works beautifully though and it's a must to spec into regardless whether the 30% arp works or not. YOu really don't see a difference? Heh Go to Illum. Pick a fight with a Tauntaun. Look at your tooltips for both Rocket Punch and Railshot, note the damage. (For me is was 1750-1800 for rocket punch, 1695-1938 for railshot) Rocketpunch hits the tauntaun for 1367, 1369, 1364 Railshot hits tauntaun for 1850, 1842, 1765 Railshot is doing almost exactly as much damage as the tooltip states (as we would expect with 90% armor pen), whereas rocket punch (fully mitigated by armor) is obviously being mitigated to a large degree. This effect would be even more pronounced in crits. 90% arpen is what allows railshot to consistently crit over 5k when i'm adrenal'd up when the tooltip for railshot only says a max top end of 2345... 126% crit multiplier Edited February 9, 2012 by ericdjobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondancerbb Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 what kind of gear are you wearing that your getting that kind of crit on rail shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auhfel Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) what kind of gear are you wearing that your getting that kind of crit on rail shot? Surge and Power, and then the expertise boost would do the trick. Depends on how squishy the target is, though. Pyrotech tree also gets a +30% crit damage on rail shot, and +9% more dmg when the target is burning. Edited February 9, 2012 by Auhfel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericdjobs Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) what kind of gear are you wearing that your getting that kind of crit on rail shot? I'm in a mix of Columi and Rakata (2pc rakata, rest columi, exotech legs) I have the 4pc bonus, which adds a significant chunk of damage on to railshot (removing the 4pc bonus drops the tooltip down about 150 damage.. the bonus is 8% damage on railshot) I get 5k+ railshots with trinket/adrenal active. I collect other classes columi tokens to gank the enhancements out of them to fix the itemization on our set gear. IE: Agent headpiece has a +surge/+power (48 surge/32 power) enhancement that is MUCH better for us than the accuracy ones that come with our gear. I also have crit crafted Reflex Nano-optic enhancers (The aim/power/accuracy/crit/surge) with +aim augments (because I pick up the 9% aim bonus from the shieldtech tree) Crit crafted ear piece This is PvE but I get some 5k+ railshots in this raid encounter with adrenal/trinket up (easiest one to spot is @ 15-16 seconds in) If you'll also notice in that video ROcket Punch is critting for what, 3.3-3.4k? THe tooltip for rocket punch is about a 100 damage difference from railshot.. says something like 1832-1877 damage whereas railshot is 1700-1989 or something like that... yet railshot crits for 5k while rocket punch is critting for 3.5k That's the armor penetration at work.

apnixx Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I never really payed attention in PVE but in PVP I tried with and without, my crits went from 3-5k down about 500pts so its worth it imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
