What should I do with this? On a veteran its kinda the first 'good' gun ive found at 30 I was thinking of just doing flak/maniac for perks, but im not sure what to pair it with still pretty new to the game, like I don't have many blessings unlocked.

Those are good enough stats, perks, and blessings to just use for awhile until you unlock some blessings you might rather slap on there. I wouldn't be in any rush to lock its features in

What do you think I should try and get for it then?

I'm loving this pistol on my Fury/Piety zealot. Good for the frantic playstyle of hot swapping to peg an elite/specialist using hip fire.

And I got another plasma gun today that competes with the one I have but I'm not sure which is better the first is the one I'm using and is locked already.

I actively dislike blaze away but if you dig it I'm gonna set that aside from my analysis for now.

The second Plasma looks way better, being able to set both your Perks means you can do some min-max breakpoint poo poo and the extra 10 points of Stopping Power alone will probably let you hit some breakpoints you didn't before already. My advice would be to take both into the psykanium as they are and check breakpoints for each, with a focus on potentially one-shotting both shotgunners using normal shots.

the lower charge rate sucks a bit but fwiw I think the higher stopping power and ability to customize your perks to exactly what you want is just hands down better overall.

For the second plasma the perks you'll want to try out after testing are +Flak +Elite, +Flak +Maniac, +Flak + Unarmored, +Unarmored + Elite. The unarmored is for dreg gunners specifically, with the +Unarmored +Elite combo for also hitting breakpoints on other elite types still. +Flak +Elite on my current plasma lets me one shot both shotgunners, but my Stopping Power is lower than yours and I think if it had rolled higher I wouldn't need the +elite to kill both, just the +flak.

See what works best for you!

I rapid fire it alot at times so blaze away works good for my style. But yeah I was leaning towards being able to define both perks + more stopping power being the better choice and I don't think the lower charge would hurt me too much cause I mainly just charge lmb shots.

Just an aside both of those plasma guns I got from Melk, and they are also the only two guns I've ever kept from him, everything else was just blessings.

I really wish low intensity wasn't a thing in damnation i got loving contracts to do and low intensity is boring anyway at the very least there should be an option to opt out of it
