So, I will be making a Pepperbox. I have an Autogun (CTR low) and an Autogun (ASI low). I was wondering which trait would be better for my Pepperbox. Thanks in advance.
ASI or CTR for Pepperbox?
Get CTR for your pepperbox. ASI won't be useful much on a pepperbox since speed is high enough.
CTR, definitely. That is not a gun line you want to be using the regular attack for.
I was thinking of CTR, but ASI would help me unload the clip a bit faster. So everyone thinks CTR?
Yes, CTR. ASI seems not to have a huge effect on Autoguns, perhaps because the firing part of the animation is so much longer than the about-to-fire and just-fired parts of the animation. See the Lancer Knightz handgun data (although they haven't measured every aspect of gun speed that you might care about).
Autogun line has a devastating charge. With CTR, you can ue it more
Ok, I'll go with CTR. Thanks guys! I will still go test firing with max ASI through armor and shield, and get some data on that. Unless Lancer Knightz already has data on that, I'll check in a moment.
Yes, they have data at almost all levels of ASI and CTR. The issue is that they have only certain kinds of data: full clips per minute, full charges per minute, full combos per minute on swords, etc. They collect these particular data because they are highly reproducible --- there is no skill involved. But other measurements of speed, such as how fast you can fire two alchemers using alchemer switching, are not available.
@Bopp you may want to know some alchemer switching data is available on this thread : http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/68414 though it's not perfect since skill is involved.
I stopped reading that thread before those data showed up. Thanks for pointing them out.
I'd say ASI as CTR doesn't do much at low and, it might just be me, Pepperbox has a little pause at the end of the charge that lasts a bit too long. I end up getting hit because I'm stuck and can't shield in time.
Meh, both are lows. I'd go for the CTR then.
