Hi

I’m allready playing tactician and i’m around 40 lvl.
But now i’m a bit confused about which dmg should I stack?
Also, now i’m playing as a gunslinger (2 pistols), how this work with such a build compared to 2h ranged?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!
It’s a matter of taste. 2H and dual pistols, physical and pierce have their application.

Making pure physical or pure pierce build requires some experience, because all guns and rifles have “Armor piercing” making huge portion of physical damage converted to pierce; it narrows the possibilities to do it efficiently.
On other hand, Armor Piercing values are oftenly too low to convert all physical to pierce, unless you use the special items not accessible in first walkthrough.

Mixing the physical and pierce is good in this case. Iirc the gunner on mixed physical+pierce damage with dual Havoc is great.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

That’s what i expected and wanted to hear.
Thanks a lot :D.
But still i’m not sure which type of dmg I should upgrade with materials?

So if I have armor piercing, I need %piercing damage and pierce resistance reduction to enhance it further?

Maybe this thread will be useful for ya.

And more - you most probably will need Valdun’s Hat and Chest to get more AP; then Myth. Pack of Treacherous Means and Bladetwister Signet to convert Inquisitor’s WPS built-in elemental damage to pierce; Myth. Pack of Treacherous Means also gives you additional AP for ranged weapons.
And you must stack % Pierce damage on top of that.

thanks I was just asking in general, if a weapon has armor piercing % to it. Thanks again
