Alright I’m on my first playthrough, currently a lvl 47 Gunzerker, I know I shouldn’t be worried about specific guns at this level because I haven’t even reached the good guns yet, but I have this OCD about needing 1 pistol of each element for different uses and I’m stuck on figuring out which shock pistol is better at the moment.
I just got Miss Moxxi’s Rubi (Lvl 42) (Maliwan)
Dmg: 2829
Acc: 93.9
Fire Rate: 2.5
Reload: 2.1
Mag: 8
Shock Dmg /sec: 1627.7
Electrocute Chance: 15.6%
and I’ve been using the Homering Dart (Lvl 44) (Bandit)
Dmg: 5452
Acc: 88.1
Fire Rate: 2.4
Reload: 3.5
Mag: 94
Shock Dmg /sec: 1732
Electrocute Chance: 14.4%
At a first glance it’s clear that The Homering Dart has almost double the damage, larger mag size, and a bit higher Shock Dmg /sec, but what puzzles me is the Rubi has "high elemental effect chance, and also deals bonus elemental damage. I was curious which one was actually better to run dual wielding with my slag pistol?
Like I said I like to keep one of each type and having 2 here is throwing me off a bit I just want a little insight on which is more beneficial. Thanks tons!
Between the 2, the Rubi is a thousand times better for many reasons. A good understanding of this game is needed to know why, but for now you can take my word that the Rubi is much better. And you can preform your own field test to see which one preforms better to get a true sense for yourself, and start getting immersed in the infinite knowledge that makes up BL2 if you think you’d be into that kind of thing.
There are better guns, but the Rubi is the best out of the two.
Thanks for the quick response man! How do I get immersed in the infinite knowledge, any important links to read up on? I’d like to say I’m trying my best to understand what’s best. I am highly addicted I’d say, 150 hours since I purchased on the 27th last month, I have a lvl 29 Assassin and 20 Mech, though Zerk is my favorite. Anyway I just ran across this in the Lost Chamber room from the pirate DLC, Rubi still better?
Also read that I’m only able to loot the chamber once per game mode, but that was my second time looting on the same character on TVHM, is it a bug or can I farm the treasure room?
EDIT: I just tried to get the quest for a third time but it isn’t appearing on the quest board, so I guess that answers my question
SECOND EDIT: I’ve been dual wielding the Captains pistols because they have really high damage and fire rates, is this recommended for where I’m at or should I be using a slag as secondary? And should I be focusing on getting double Vladof pistols for the ridiculous fire rates?
