I'm having a dicussion with a friend of mine. We do not agree on that it is worth the time (27 days) to train the Large AC Specialization to L5 for the extra 2% damage.

I do not think it is worth the time, he thinks it is definitly worth the extra 2% damage.

What do you all think about it?

As with any skill it's not whether or not it's worth training to 5 - it's whether or not there's anything else which is more worthwhile.

If you do 1v1s and your tactics are solid, that 2% will give you the win. If you're just into ganking then there's probably better things for you to train.

It's worth it but as was already said only if there is nothing more important to train.

I have all my favorite specs trained to 5 (sm blasters, med AC, HML, lg pulse, lg art)

As with any skill whether or not it is worth it is entirely up to the player. The player that spends 99% of their time using Large Autocannons would certainly place a much higher value on Large Autocannon Spec V compared to someone who only uses them rarely.

As such, whether or not a skill is "worth it", is entirely dependent on what a player wants to do. There is no right or wrong answer.

My friend is a casual player - he just started to do Incursions. he is more the PvE type.

I agree to the fact that it is worth it if no better skills are needed and he needs better skills in other area.

But the moment I posted this question he chnaged his view and is now training something that will benefit him more then the 27 days in AC Spec L5

It takes a couple years of training time to reach the point where training weapon specs to 5 becomes the next largest increase in ship power on a general level. If you fly only one type of ship then by all means train the weapon system to 5 but most of the time other options are better.

That 2% is worth more the higher your related gunnery skills are. If your guns are doing max damage in all other ways, then the actual dps increase of that 2% could be many times higher than what you'd get if you only had the minimum prerequisites. Consider your tracking, optimal, falloff, rate of fire, other % increases, and the quality of your guns and ammo.

It's absolutely not worth it.
Train it anyway, be a pro :)

Hell, i trained all the minmatar specs to 5 on my minmatar pilot just to get all the elite gunnergy certificates :P
