Opting for Epic T3 Blast Cannon or T4 Sniper

So I’ve both MK5 speeder and enforcer along with a legendary flaregun and in a pinch to use a BC or sniper cannon as the title says. Thoughts, if I’ve already full set epic sniper cannon in hand to get it to T5 in time, while my BC as of now I could only push to T3 epic. Is using the T3 BC more worth it or not?

 

Well Imo you are best to stay with the sniper because I'm guessing you have sniper crew talents the blast cannon is a good weapon but it isn't that much better sure it does more damage but when the sniper crits it makes up for it...

 

You’re right with the crew talent but I can always retrain to BC if I intend to switch. Tbh I’m having this dilemma cause I’ve a flare gun and could combo it with the burn perks on the BC for additional consistent damage. Hmmmm...

 

Mervin, retraining is easy between sniper and blast cannon. Only 3 bhurt.trainings to switch.

The real answer u need is to think long term. Correct u are closer sniper. So yes max it out and use it.
But also grow your blast to level V epic and max it out. Then switch trainings. For the type of boats you use. Speeder and enforcer. Blaster is a better fit with flare. Also even a second blaster for enforcer mk.6 is OP.
The sniper then will be a weapon u can use if u want to try shooter. And need a 4th or 5th weapon. Sniper has extremely good range. The the highest advantage to it. Shooting beyond enemy fire range. Critical perks are the second reason.

But considering flare is a close and mid range weapon, blast is a perfect compliment. Grow both. Don't scrap. U will find a good ship to use it with.

 

Right, so what you’re proposing would be to stick to my sniper first as I already have the ability to max out to T5 and only swap over to the BC once in able to at least max it out to T4 possibly huh? Sounds good and I shall be keeping them both for future usage if I intend to swap around boats then! ^^V Appreciate the inputs.

 

Blast cannon if you can lead your shots. You need consistent damage when you are running only 2 weapons. You can pretty much shoot blast cannon whenever it's not on cooldown if you are in range. Where as sniper you will have to position yourself correctly so you don't hit waves and even then pray that it crits.

Another note is that you can add all burn damage perks on your blast cannon, where as sniper needs all the perk slots filled with critical chance perks to maxamize it's potential. You will not get much benefit from the fire damage on your sniper without fire perks. And if you do decide to use fire perks you will not crit often

 

I use both sniper and blast cannon on my enforcer, the conflicting talents don't worry me much.

 

Just read enforcer too. That's not too bad with 2x snipers But flare + 1 sniper is not that great

 

My sentiments exactly. When running on enforcer I’m using a T3 epic carronade. And I’m getting rare burn perks whereas my sniper is holding only green crit perk chance, fml.
