Ok so this is and isn't a trade thread - I'd genuinely like to know people's thoughts on which is better.
Ionic Barrel with the 15% Crit Mult bonus -or-
Power Bore with the 7% damage bonus
If it helps I would like to know which you'd pick for a long range FRC Heavy Assault Carbine for instance. LOL
(It is and isn't a trade thread in that it will determine both the status of my Ionic Barrel III and possible trade for a Power Bore III)
Personally, I'd prefer the extra crit. I'm using an Assault Carbine with Assassin Synergy. My goal is to optimize critical hits cause I feel the damage far out performs in all forms of PvE (not PvP tested, I have no interest in PvP)Quote:

I disagree. In PvE, 90% of what I come across has an easy to access Crit Zone. This is from my experience.Quote:

If your Heavy is Assassin I would go with crit. If any other synergy than damage.
it's not a Heavy, fully automatic. From the tooltip with Assassin Synergy, the additional 15% damage buff (or 10%, doesn't specify if the buff stack, or the 4p replaces the 3p bonus) does not have a cooldown, just an expiration time of 10 seconds, so I believe you if you land another crit, it will reset the timer, do an Arkfall and that is a HUGE damage bonus... which is why I agree to the above statement lolQuote:

I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't use a Heavy Carbine in PVP unless you are playing Shadow War and sitting far away or something.. I hate all scopes in this game. I wish Trion would put in scopes that don't zoom in...Quote:
