  • Plasma Piercing Beam Rifle Mk XI [CrtH]x2 [Dmg] (mk ix from vender in sphere equipment room, can be upgraded) (secondary cd= NA, uses plasma fuel)
  • Compression pistol (secondary cd=4 sec)
  • wide beam pistol (secondary cd=4 sec)
  • dual pistols (secondary cd=5 sec)

  • Full auto rifle (secondary cd=8 sec)
  • Blast assault (secondary cd=12 sec)
  • minigun (secondary cd=12 sec)

Notes

  • Pulsewave has very good knockback abilty which interrupts npc attacks for a moment. May be the best crowd control at close range.
  • Plasma piercing seem to be best at taking down large target through boff attack command. Good crowd control but no repulse.

  • Will test mk xi version of plasma fueled weapons when upgrade system is in place. (Plasma repeater, plasma charged burst, plasma piercing) (mk ix vender at sphere equipment room)
  • Fluidic Antiproton Wrist Lance
