First off, I'm not maximizing dps when I use general examples, Better Devils just comes to mind, but lots of explosive round weapons look better than the Cabal Rifle. It's just the way the game works and it's not hard to see. Besides, like in my other responses, most scouts will beat this rifle easily. If you fire faster you'll do more DPS, likewise, if you hit harder at the same rate and reload faster you'll do more DPS. It's easier than you think. That's hardly maximized. Just common sense. Second, no. But you're ignoring that the value of any gun, ultimately, goes into [u]high level[/u] activities. [u]Any[/u] weapon is good in the story and patrol. In fact, I admitted that they're fun, but being fun cannot be in the way of them being useful. Good guns are both, not one or the other. Surely even you can't deny that.
