Talk:Detron/@comment-184.23.128.78-20140813023918

I personally say that the detron is better than the brakk, let me say why. I am interested in hearing input.

Brakk will win straight dmg yes, HOWEVER, the brakk has a rather ridiculous fall off. The detron does ~70% of the brakk's dmg (disregarding any elemental bonuses) at any given time. Brakk will deal 50% dmg at 15m and 25% at 20m+. Thus I say if you use your detron at a respectable range, it is worth using over the brakk. If you only use your detron/brakk at point blank, use brakk, no arguement. However, detron will win dmg-wise if you use it 13m and beyond. Even then, because you deal full damage even at range, you can soften targets far more effectively than the brakk and then close in.

Now lets compare the radiation to IPS, radiation's biggest hinderance is ancients. Ancients have 0 armor, lets be real here people, they are a very miniscule threat. I always use blast/corrosive on my weapons, this imo counteracts the disadvantage of the radiation dmg and you still deal full dmg at range.
