(who runs low armor builds in PvP?). .
Just for the hell of it, I jumped into Trials a couple weekends ago with my Bladedancer (who I've barely used since TTK) and speced for max agility and recovery. My armor stat was as low as it could possibly go. I equipped Mida and a shotgun with Battlerunner. And it was AWESOME :D
I think I've got a video saved. I'll try and dig it up. Certainly made me reconsider my usual "max armor all the time" rule.

- Not really. Stability tightens the bolts, which is my issue. -
Funkmon,
2016-04-06, 16:50
- Range actually tightens spread on FRs. -
Cody Miller,
2016-04-06, 17:02
- Stability is the primary spread reducer currently. -
Funkmon,
2016-04-06, 17:07
- I thought Range was projectile velocity -

- FR Range stat seems pretty important to me - CruelLEGACEY, 2016-04-06, 18:33

- Velocity AND spread. Look it up. -

- Uh huh. How about a source link? - Ragashingo, 2016-04-06, 19:03
- Yep. Cody, as usual, has no idea what he is talking about.
- That theory could be tested pretty easily... - Mariachi, 2016-04-07, 12:00
