Smithereens or Executor

[Krelgarsh]

Which one is better , which one should I add core and invest ? Thanks in advance.

Been debating the same. I'd say Smithereens probably is... but I'd leave it to people who have tried both to comment

[It is my CAT]

Smithereens. I have Executor full, Smithereens is not max yet. Though, I dropped using shotguns for now.

Both are good, it rather depends on which which special ability suits you more with how you want to approach things.

I have maxed Executor on Gley, it is very good, but I think Smithereens is most likely better. I haven't even maxed it yet, and it's already FAR more DPS than Executor (about 300k+).

Thank you for answers guys

Smith is harder since you need to land all pellets to make crit, but it’s guaranteed crit once you do. Executor is raising crit rate and generally less effective, but better at its procs and lightning damage. So against colossus I’d say smith is better, but I’ve seen Executor tear through colossi with high firerate. Really both are good and it depends on situation, when electricity damage is more effective, use Executor. Smith I believe is better with poison with it r slot.

executor is better for 2 simple reason
1, dmg drop off for smitherins is crazy punishing unless you shove the gun on the colossus butt
2. executor fire rate increase can take advantage of gley infinite ammo

Smithereens and Executor might be getting close to beating ' In a Blink ' , but ' In A Blink ' is beat by Smithereens now. Executor is bottom of the list. The new SG ' Hammer and Anvil ' beats Smithereens and comes closer to ' in a Blink '

For attribute = Smithereens
For critical damage = Executor
Which one is better? It depends on the enemy you're dealing with.
For example, the Defiler are weak to attribute damage but highly resistant to critical damage, so Smithereens is the better choice here.

u know if you find someone doing more dps then you, you could ask them also simply ingame chat. =)

I prefer Executer but I use it for rapid fire. I'd be interested to see how Hammer and Anvil compare even though it's a hybrid weapon.
