Ranged Weapons and Ammo

[jaggarot]

I found a way to fight better tonight using the pistol, im not saying what as they might consider it a bug.

However the ammo sure runs out quick and is too costly to make versus return. I had 1 pack made from all choice mats and the damage per shot was 53, versus shop mats which are 12-20 thats a major difference.

I'm getting 48/hit with qual 20 shop mats out of a qual 30 pistol (qual 25 gives 53/hit, qual 10 gives 38/hit).

What was your pistol made out of? (Mine was made of all choice materials). Like I said earlier - the quality and stats of the weapon seems more important than the quailty of the ammunition. I'd say that your experinces would bear this out.

I'm using a ql20 pistol with roughly 25 range and ammo doing something in the range of 60ish damage...not awful, but not good. However, it is doable with the pistol/fear combo; I'd hate it if it was my only option though. I'm not intending on spending any skill points for other patterns until I pass level 50; the heavier stuff sounds interesting (although I'm curious - do you need a bowrifle or such as a prereq?)

Question - anyone has found a couple choice mats that have great range to make a longer range pistol? I haven't.... The whole key to me was getting away from the store bought weap...worthless.
