RE: ILA - re: BL3 leveling
You're bound to get something good in a weapon class with persistent trials.
From what I've been able to tell, the overall rating number of a gun doesn't mean a lot. Much of it is based on nothing more than required level. The damage number is helpful, but this loses meaning with exotic smg's and even some AR's and pistols. I've seen low-damage pistols utterly destroy enemies because the fire rate was high, like 13.x, but this will only happen with true automatic fire. Dahl makes too many guns with promising stats but low-rent firing options -- "semi-auto" (slightly accelerated single shot) or "burst" (maybe 5-6 rounds at a time). Usually, a gun like this turns out to be rubbish, but on rare occasions an elemental affix will make it a keeper.
