Have to say, Scattered Hek is much better than Vaykor Hek. Putting more pellets on target means more damage, even if the damage per pellet between the two is different. If Vaykor shoots 15 pellets at 100 damage each and Scattered Hek shoots 29 at 60 damage each... I mean, its 1.5k verses 1.7k. Even if Scattered Hek did 50 damage per pellet, thats only a 50 damage loss. Theres also spread pattern, having more pellets means Ill have more pellets hitting the target over a greater distance, plus a higher chance of other targets getting hit by stray pellets. If I put 5 of 7 pellets on target, thats 2 pellets that cant do damage, where as if I put 15 of 29 pellets... Well, 500 damage compared to 750 damage using the 100/50 damage example earlier. If you want to include crit, well... Im not a math wiz but having 7 chances to crit at 25% each would equal out to 175% chance for 1 or more pellets critting per shot, where as 29 chances to crit at 10% would equal out to 290% chance for 1 or more pellets critting per shot. No idea if that math is accurate, so someone can make it proper or use the correct math, go ahead. Theres also cost. Scattered Hek only needs 2 Forma for a Status build, 6 for a damage build, this will likely need4-6 just to include the Primed mods, which will cost several million credits each and over a thousand R5 cores. Dont think Ill be replacing my current Justice effect weapon, be it Scattered Hek or Vaykor Marlok for this.
