Long story short, if you switch from your nl to a xenon, you WILL have higher range on your xenon but your 700k ranged nl will do more damage than your 1m+ ranged xenon.

Okay, I don't know wth these people are talking about. You already have 700k range on your NL, all your funding will be going into recubing or rescrolling good gear. So it would obviously be better to start a xenon, which are one of the easiest to fund classes. Not to mention the glaring difference in price between thief eqs, and pirate eqs. The price of thief tyrant belt will get you a huge chunk of range on your xenon. This being said, transfer everything you have on your NL to a NW and get more bang for your buck. =)

Well if you're in broa, lots of people are selling whips.

Dude, learn to read. I said "similar amount of funding" and "damage will be roughly even".

[quote=Axnslicer]I mostly agree with what's been said so far, Xenons will have about 1.5-2 M buffed range with a similar amount of funding, but damage wise will be roughly even with the 700k NL.[/quote]

[quote=trieudatt]If a Night Lord has 700k range with x amount of funds, how much range would I achieve on a Xenon with the same amount of funding?[/quote]

roughly double

It's harder for a night lord to get range than it is for a xenon, but night lords will dish out more damage than xenon.
I recently stopped playing my xenon for a night walker. I played a thief gear Xenon. My range clean on the Xenon was 1.6m-1.8m clean. On my Night walker, my range is 750k-880k. As compared to my Xenon, my night walker is missing a ring, emblem, and eye access. The missing items will not make up for the range difference between the two classes. I know it's not the exact comparison, but it's close.

It depends, Xenon use all stat, so knowing how much % all stat you have would help a bit.

Xenon would probably have a lot more range if you have tyrants and a good chunk of all stat.

Also, the hell is with x amount of funds, how is that supposed to help us out to try to help you? You could have 12 mesos or 120 billion, you can't just say x and expect people to give you a correct answer.
