Yea I know BUT FATEBRINGER!!!! That's probably fine for now but HoW will have 365 attack and in a month you'll be doing 30% less damage. Pretty substantial.
There are obviously a few exception such as Fatebringer in CE HM thralls or certain perks on some weapons. But all things being equal people should understand how damage works and more replies have clearly showed they don't.
Do your own research. Google it. Try it. You can probably get away with a 300 now, but with the expansion pack and 365 attack weapons, they will become obsolete doing 30% less damage (speculation). This started as an honest question, as I am new to the game and trying to figure things out, people seem to think I want to change the 2nd amendment and take away their Fatebringer.

Edited by Ferth: 1/25/2015 8:13:43 AMFirst off; this damage comparison is missing a lot of information. If all you are comparing is identical weapons with different attack caps then, yes, not using the 331 option is not smart, but almost no one has that option. I have yet to get a hand cannon worth replacing the ones I currently own with. And while my Badger CCL can hit for 1220 on a precision strike it still can't kill a level 30 vandal in one shot. Compared to my VoC, the greater damage per hit doesn't make up for the amount of damage the VoC can dish out per magazine. Your math is technically correct but it is still very misleading and inaccurate for the point you are trying to make with it.
