    I just learned the Tesla Bolt's stun is broken with the first damage, guess that's fair enough or else it could get out of hand. But why then level it up? How do you use a 9.4 second stun besides a last ditch "waiting for weapon cool-down"?
    The Frost Blaster slows to 56%, both comparisons using tier 5 epics, with no "break". What are the cons? It seems like the Frost Blaster could be more effective offensively than the Tesla Bolt.

    THey are totally different.
    Frostbaslter is a "kill on sight" utility, when a boat is frost, he will die really quickly if the team focus it, really funny against speeder.

    Teslabolt is a prevent utility, you got a fixer healing too much this fucking shooter you want to destroy, stun the fixer. You got a flanker defender hitting you far away, dont care of him with his 6k hp, stun it.
    And fire dot stay on teslabolt if the fire is before the teslabolt, you can watch opponent burn.

    Interesting. I've been able to get off a couple shots after stunning with the tesla bolt but I guess I've just been lucky.
    But I guess I'll be leveling up my frost blasters now.

    Random move prevent a lot from opponent hit.. :)
    Got t2 epic teslabolt and t4 rare frost blaster.
    For the moment i m more with tesla, but at mk6enforcer will use both, when im boring of speeder i switch to frost. (teslashield and control on my enforcer)
    The 2 one are excellent, the 2 reduce heal, the 2 allow you to ran away.

    After, tesla work like a torpedo, and frost need a direct focus. So i prefer tesla

    Frost blaster also loses it's duration as target gets hit. The trick is that one hit only cuts the timer to half, not completely like tesla bolt's does. Anyway using tesla bolt effectively requires some timing skills and of course the situation where your team mates understands to not to shoot while you make your escape or speeding to other side of that target ship so it's cannons need to turn around.

    To "spin" target, you need tesla bolt on speeder as it gives you more strategy way to play and survive with those few thousands of hp points against for example defender with 10-15k hp. But as said, you need to be in situation where you can control when to break the stun yourself and being ready to dodge/take cover from revenge hit.
