Why not indeed? I know you've got these weapons, had 'em for years, so the cost-to-acquire isn't an issue. Their damage type is well-supported, proc just doesn't happen enough to be a deciding factor, and quite honestly (correct me if I'm wrong), you want to use them.
So yeah, use them.

Sorry, my kids come first .... they must be building an immunity to it though
I re-rolled a Beam into [CrtD]x3 [Spiral] (or [Dmg]x2) the other day and was very unlucky along the way.. I'm waiting on this weekend to see what it'll take to get to Epic.
I dunno man, I'm still on the fence with these because I have started enjoying Phasers lately.

Don't try any more Epic pushes until all those weapons are at XV. Remember, Number Before Color.
And honestly, Scar, if you were gonna stick with Phaser, I mean, I can't fault that at all. Lot of fun stuff going on with Phasers these days. But I still think of SWDs as "Classic Scarlett".

For ~3% more than S-L weapons, yeah pretty much. I've been wracking my head how to use them and keep the "phaser" look and it all boils down to a sacrifice (as I would know it) in one way or another. At least for me.
Frankly, I'm getting mentally tired of thinking about it. At least procs have been marginalized to the point of them being a non-issue.

Why not just use Phasers if you want the look? They're 2nd best, and have the nice trilithium bonus.
