Cruces Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 At this moment I am level 24. My crafting: 0 Scavaging: 152 Splicing: 156 I picked up Armstech but haven't done anything with it yet. Wanted to know if it would be better for a Gunslinger to go with Armstech, or would Cybertech be better. Not sure if the higher end guns is better or if the misc stuff you get from Cybertech is better. Also, is there money to be made with either. Before drilling down into a "craft", I wanted to ask the community their opinion. I'd rather not make a decision and regret it later. Thanks!

FrOzeNPeNguiNN Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I did some Arms in the beta. Personally didn't find much use for it compared to the guns I found in FPs, etc. Currently I'm a 33 Gunslinger with 300 Cybertech and loving it. Keeps my guns up to date on mods and armor. The ear pieces, ship mods and grenades also come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmajay Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I went with Armortech first, it makes it easier to keep Corso in top lvl armor! Initially, I thought I should have gone armtech but I did not see a lot of great weps on any sites that were much better the commendation stuff.

Boozsha Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I would think you would get the best bang for you buck on Cybertech with all the armor mods and mods that you can make. Plus you get the earpiece that is nice. If you take the zone commendations for rewards while you are leveling you can buy decent gear before you leave the zone. Those mods will make that gear go much further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertyeti Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Went Armstech for my GS. The only thing I really use from it is the barrell upgrades. All the guns I use are Orange modables from class quests and instances. I do also get a good artifact weap for Corso out of it. I would have to say, go for Cyber. Been thinking about changing.

Lexio_Strata Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I would say Armstech is very useful to keep your guns damage up and making your companions weapons (they all use stuff Armstech make). I have found it usefull myself but I havent really delved into cybertech that much to give comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowAI Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Avoid both. Go biochem. The only reason to go armstech is if you want epic level barrels every 2 levels, which will cost quite a lot of time and money (probably more than leveling itself). You can get all the blue ones from questing and handing in the badges. Heres the list of barrels that can be bought after completing 4-7 quests for the appropriate planets. http://www.torhead.com/items/catg/3/subcatg/2/hascost/eq/1/and/quality/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you go armstech then you're buying armour/mod/enhancements upgrades, whereas if you go cybertech you're "only" buying barrels and enhancments. Ultimately I agree with biochem, purple med kits (and companion healing medkits) are very handy (I have biochem on my shadow) Edited January 2, 2012 by GordonJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAntiVirus Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It is taking me forver to grind Cybertech. I have two of my three companions always making stuff but man the points take forever to build up and I rarely get a new schematic from reverse engineering. Odd, but that's just prolly means I suck at it! lol If anyone has any tips on making the grind go faster, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadCapLaugh Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm currently Armstech and I'm starting to regret it. I've also been thinking about a change. I have decided on Cyber or Biochem yet, but I would advise against Armstech (for the reasons already listed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
