Note. It was still Inferior DPS.
Just "Similar."
If just the damage buff was done it would still be worse due to the fire limiter being in place, rendering it incapable of being buffed by ROF bonuses.

It needs more than 10-15%.
Agreed, but would be a very "safe" change (i.e. no danger of making it OP) on BW's part.

Well. The thing is, past tests have shown that similar weapons could take significantly larger changes and still not be strong enough.
Look at the mattock: 10% buff... Followed by 20% buff........
Yeah. I think 30% is the least we should start with on the Raptor.

Do the math regarding my suggestion in the OP.
I belive the final numbers I went with was a 40% boost.

We'll see if that's enough when it happens. I imagine it would be though.

40% works for me. I think ; )

However, I am slightly concerned that this would give 911 DPS, on what very well could be the 9/11 balance changes.......
Probably me just overthinking things.
(For reference, the Mattock gets 970 DPS, and benifits from rate of fire bonuses. It also weighs less.)

41% then?
Hmm..... Overpowered.
920 damage is 500 points away from 420 DPS.

It's needs at least a 35% damage increase. Just like the Wraith needs a 35% RoF increase (and an extra round per clip).
Just the minrefiretime cut shorter or made equal to the pumping animation.....

40 and a half %? I really don't like going down......
Alright, 39%?

Underpowered.
900 is a flat number.
Flat numbers killed my Dolphin.

Personally, I would most likely boost its rof to 60 RPM if I buffed it at all. (A bullet every second is niiiiiceee.)
Its recoil would likely be enough to prevent overpoweredness from reeking its ugly head.

I was basing the wraith RoF buff percentage on using it with the destroyer. It was perfect and DM gives a 35% RoF bonus.

YOu can boost the rof all day, its got a big minrefiretime and so boosting the rof will do nothing
For the Wraith? I thought we had derailed onto that.
The WRAITH doesn't have a min fire time. I have read the INI.
Its the RAPTOR that is immune to ROF buffs.
Hence, Why I want to give it a DAMAGE buff.
Sorry. I should be a bit more clear as to what subject I am on when I derail.

Let the garbage rot.
The balance changes will continue! LET US DIRECT THEM AS WE SEE FIT.
(However. Negativity like that will likely be better support then the people posting "SURPART!" all over the thread.... Knowing BW.)
