Damn, thanks for these posts, pretty much most elaborate posts about the weapon so far.

"In pvp duel it looked that - with unmodded stinger, level 0 and 4 thumper -(against rhino 11 damage, and 1 damage dot, for 4 sec - against nova it had 17 damge and 1 damage dot)"

So unless PvP gives weapon different mechanics than PvE(like Embolist), you can verify that Stinger does NOT ignore armor and has a miniscule DoT(along with animation)?

Could you please test it on lowest level infested? You will clearly see if there is a even a small DoT, and if Ancients won't die in like 4 hits - it doesn't ignore armor. Remember unranked Acrid - you can use it to kill enemies up to level 50 unranked in 2-5 shots, because it deals straight 25 damage per shot and a dot.

Also if you try adding elemental damage or serration to rank ~10 Sweeper and test it against 30-50 Ancients - the DoT also should be clearly visible.

So far it looks like I wasn't wrong in my goal to max Sweeper.
