Item so whats the deal with spreads? - PSO-World.com Forums

alright. im thoroughly confused.

Im now loking to upgrade from my final impact and the general vibe is that Spread needle is the ultimate spread.

but what the hell!!! maybe im reading this wrong but it seems that the spread needles stats are LESS than my final impact even with 10 more grind. it seems to have significantly less range as well,

and unreduced sieze. that seems to be its only real high point!!!

so what the heck!? why is this thing any better dammage wise than my final impact?
otherwise, what spread SHOULD i be looking into getting?

thanks in advance!

The ATP that shows is not all you should be looking at, the great thing about a Spread Needle is that its essentially a short range rapid fire shotgun. It fires like a shotgun, at rifle speed and at mechgun range. It can deal a LOT of damage in a short amount of time, the only thing it really lacks in is the special is terrible on fleshie rangers and it can't handle massive bosses such as Gol Dragon and Gal Gryphon as well as a shotgun can because it lacks range to hit all of their spread out target points.

so with my V101 im gonna be goin rediculusly fast then?

idk.. i just dont like seeing a drop in my ATP (i feel really scarce on it as it is)

but your saying that the full ground needle will dish out enough dammage quick enough to compensate?

also.. how good is th special with a 501 backing it? if im using both 501 and 101 is it going to be worth going after one?

I thought you were on GC, ok with a V501 the special should be usable on a fleshie ranger. And don't worry about the ATP. You'll be attacking so much faster you will easily outdamage a shotgun. The only thing you'll lose is range.

The speed the Spread gives also is good for defensive reasons as you don't stand in one place as long.

The spread needle is much faster because of the rifle range; hence, your recovery time is amazing.

Damage output has never been the spread needle's strong point. Instead, appreciate it for its speed and special.

Final Impact is the strongest shotgun in the game. That is, it's the strongest shotgun that fires five bullets. Items such as the Inferno Bazooka and Panzer Faust are also of the shot class, but they only fire one bullet per action.

It has mechgun range and combo unlocked Dark Meteor says hi. (assuming he plays where I think he does)

Rifle speed, not range, but I'm sure you know that already.

lol what? Charge Arms and Baranz Launcher complete puts it to the dust, especially Baranz Launcher. Better yet, see and compare.

EDIT: And yes, Baranz Launcher shoots 4 bullets, but that 1 bullet is really insignificant.

Baranz only fires four shots.

Eh, the technicality doesn't do it justice. It still wreaks havoc, much more so than Final Impact.

But if you want technicalities, then Charge/Spirit/Berserk Arms > S-rank Shot > Final Impact.
