Eh, it's just my archaic mindset of "exotic means better".  Like I know a PPPBB combat pistol is better than an energy combat pistol P, but I'll probably still make the latter over the former anyway.

That said, which is better: a nanomachic laser rifle F, or a burst nuclear plasma rifle P?

Svankensen:
Good question. Pretty good actually. See, I was coming from doing Ao100 with pistols. But it translated poorly to Ao666. It is extremely powerful, the dps is through the roof with SoG and SoB. But the knockback is a pain in the ass, and you have to press 'f' a million times. I actually did some testing, and it's much more comfortable to use the nanomachic plasma rifle at SoB 4 rather than 5, since it doesn't have knockback (it needs 12 damage to knock back). But I was missing a good single target knockback weapon for when you need to protect some items from enemies blowing them up and there are barrels around. The nuclear burst plasma sounds like it fits the deal. That said, with juggler it is quite important to be able to access an item with shortcuts, and exotics don't do that. And carrying ammo for a weapon is soooo Ao100. So it is either a pistol (doubtful, needs lots of skill to be decent) or a chaingun. Maybe assault chaingun (N)? 2d5+4 has a good chance at dealing 12 or more.
