    Shen Sticks / Ma

    Are such things viable? How much damage do they do in comparison to shotguns? Anyone out there doing this?

    I used to do this; even in rather ... ok, really bad ... equipment that took little advantage of the set-up, it did very well. If you focus your damage on Martial Arts skill and critchance, your damage will soar. I'm almost sure it can beat Shattergun/DRapier in terms of DPS.

    Why do you use past tense then? Is what you use now higher dps?

    Nah. My budget and playstyle didn't support Martial Arts. As much as I love being strong DD, that's not what I played Trader for.

    If you prefer strong DD though, you will do splendidly with the Sticks. Experiment with using 1, 2, or none, see how it goes, since we can get a ton of critchance.
