how can androids and hunters

[K_I_R_E_E_K]

only at higher levels (i.e- where you are) because you do so much damage with either, thats fine if you use the slightly less powerful version. I.E- there are 52 weapons more powerful than the yas 3000R (the most powerful ranged weapon bar 1, the guld milla but thats a mech) and every single one of those weapons is a close combat/melee weapon. so at a lower level with less pow, it may be quicker to use a saber as it will kill enemies faster despite all the running cos it takes too long to use a handgun, but now you can do decent damage with a handgun its quicker to stand still and shoot for 2 minutes to clear a room, rather than be in melee for 1 minute but be running around for 2, so taking 3 minutes with a saber.

but the majority of the hunters use blades, either newbies or experts, the 2 ocasions i use blades are in the 2nd boss, since my imperial pick can doo alot more damage then the gun, and because it haves a high ata, i am able to do a hard/hard/hard atack with no chances of missing, the other situation is on ultimate ruins, large groups, i use defenetly the imperial pick.
as a side not, the atp on the weapons in dc do not matter, only %, even srank wapons can't do a decent damage in ultimate ruins.
