nersbud Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I just recieved the legendary Modified DTB-27 Bolt Pistol from the Bounty Hunter class quest on Hoth (I can't remember the quest name but its when you talk to Blizz in his cage the second time) and the base damage seems to be bugged. The torhead tooltip has it at 106-197 energy damage and the in-game tooltip has it at much less (again dont remember exact numbers, something like 12-20 energy damage). I thought this might be just a typo or tooltip error but when I equip it my base damage stat on the character screen also drops way down. I didn't have time to actually test it out on some mobs to see if it really was doing that much less damage. As of this post I have not added any mods to the open slots (but I don't believe mods affect base damage anyway, correct me if I am wrong). Let me know if anyone else is seeing this or knows what's going on with it. I want to use this awesome blaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEMEyou Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Yea - weird my base dmg on that shows is 21-39.... ahh here we go - deck it out w/ mods. using lvl37 mods from the commendation vendor got it up to 132-245.

invispoet Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It's a moddable weapon with no barrel/mod/enhancement...you have to mod it out before it does any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigSebes Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 You meant Artifact. Legendary is above even Prototype gear...like super super super rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornrock Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It's not an artifact either. The color is darker than the normal blue rare color and purple epic color. It's either a color bug on the weapon, or it really is a legendary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnubisXy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yeah. I'm using that gun mostly because I like the fact that the color is apprently unique; it's a dark blue; not the normal blue of rares, nor is it purple like a prototype. Anyway, the damage it does is based on the barrel mod. Put in a high level one and it will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacosy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The colour it has IS the colour for legendarys. However it is only legendary in colour and at current, is the only legendary coloured item in the game. This has been in since beta when it used to be yellow, then changed to the very similar icon colour to artifact, however the link colour, stands out differently. On Topic, It needs modding.

SammyRath Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Anyone can say me How can get this blaster? Read the first post, you get It on Hoth, follow your BH class quest. (but I don't believe mods affect base damage anyway, correct me if I am wrong). I think they do, the higher level mods you put into it, the higher level the weapon itself becomes, and the more base damage It will do. At least that's my experience with it. I'm level 50 and I still use it, I just shoved some 30-50,000 Cred mods in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theangryllama Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Treat it as a standard orange weapon. The only thing thats different is that the tooltip has been bugged since beta and it shows up as the legendary color (this is the reason why so many BH's use it lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilithak Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 when i first got this weapon i gave it identical item modifications to the weapon i had at the time, and found that the dtb-27 pistol gained higher tech power and base damage than the gun i was using. im not sure if this holds true throughout, or even if anyone else has had this experience, but i have been using it ever since because of that.

That makes sense, since Jawa's like to pimp things out and make em stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sericus Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Am I the only one that thinks this gun looks stupid? Something like a naboo blaster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loladarulz Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I got it and apart from color it seems like ordinarz orange blaster. No added damage, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchu Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Apparently it is only Legendary because it was the first modable item put into the game. I only learned this through torhead so I don't know how true it is. Sounds legit though, a small nod to the first item, thus legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
