Crystal Tracker Type Gun Question

What exactly am I looking for when picking up one of these guns for UMF?

I picked one up with base in the 200s and 70ups. After upgrading, it ended up with 88k DPS and a 125K Piercing shot.

That's quite a bit less then the 500k DPS of an Apprentice.

Is it sufficient damage to solo UMF with?

I've used miniguns/trackers/ and disc throwers in UMF
Minigun was alright, but no pierce and single target dmg really slowed me down
Trackers were pretty good for clearing mobs... the big problem are the ogres, trackers just dont do much DPS. If you're trying to solo, then i feel that using something other than tracker (such as bone / disc) would be your best choice. I currently use Disc, and it works quite well =). --That and the tracker animation gets annoying =P

Flamethrower-type weapons are also an option, though you need some way of dealing with elemental immunity. Poison in this sense is preferred, but much rarer than fire. Has the highest straightforward piercing x-ray triple-shot DPS, but short range, and lower damage level up cap so your piercing shots will be weaker too.

Crystal tracker with +projectiles = win :D

Saw a guy with one and it was niiiice
