Default Point Defense

So wow gold I finally research point defense up to level 6 where I get a whole slew of new weapons. Point Defense BLASTERS, Flak Cannons and Bomblet MIssiles.

First off,cheap wow gold I'm confused about the Point Defense Blasters vs Cannons... They seem to do vastly less damage at similar range and range errors. They do buy wow gold no have any improvement in reload rates. I would think that perhaps they don't use supply, but I don't believe that any PD uses supply?? What good are PD Blasters?

Secondly, obviously world of warcraft gold bomblets and flak cannons give you a vast improvement in range for a slower reload rate. Flak cannons being more accurate up close. Damage btwn the two being the same across the board. But Bomblets receive no range acuracy loss wow at all.world of warcraft Seems like a no brainer to take bomblets over flak cannons...

Am I missing anything?

Based on the information you've provided I assume we're talking the Balance Mod here...

PD Blasters are half the size of PD Cannons. They start out a bit weaker than PD Cannons, but towards their max level they do more damage per kT than PD Cannons. The PD Beam is more accurate and hits almost instantaneously - may help avoid PD overkill.

Bomblet Missiles use ordnance and can be shot down by point defense, while Flak Cannons don't use any ordnance and can't be shot down.

If you have the room to place multiple PD components, then it's a good idea to go with a layered approach mixing up long and short range PD. This helps to spread your PD fire against multiple targets.

He could be talking about Devnull. I just realised it has the same PD stuff.
