This is some what documented on the main forums but I will post it here just for the chance. Older Cyber Shock arms are very much bugged, and some vets have multiple copies so they are not hard to come buy. Unfortunetly when buying there is no way to the tell the diference I am aware of. Using one of these is an exploit and CSR will replace your arm with a nerfed one if you are caught using it.
A further exploit with these bugged arms is getting them to proc multiple times in one hit. To do this you will need more than just the shock arm, you will need either a ambeotic discharge bracer, bio captance bracer, blade of the betrayer, or caller of storms, or any combination of the two. When using more than one proc item I have seen that 90% of the time i proc with one of the items a proc from the cyber arm will pop up. Inversly it could be that the shock arm is causing the other to fire.
From my personal "testing" aka playing, i when i see Static Shock pop up it is almost always directly above or below Cyborg Shock.
To enhance these effects, and become the most damaging melee proffesion in the game, play as a bounty hunter. I have read that each of the melee procs has a 1 and 10 chance to fire. So firing normaly will cause you to proc 3 in 10 hits or so with three proc items. With bounty hunter you can add many more hits a second to your speed, My personal combination for fast damage was to drop razor web and web bomb, then wait until they start attacking you, then proceeding to use return fire from expertise, and activation one of the static base stims that returns fire as well. From this you are attacking 5 times a second. Basic math shows that you have a 15:10 chance to proc stacking on massive amounts of damage. The buffs from the GCW officer rank may or may not effect this, but i had already respeced out of bh by the time i got to LT. One note, the assault debuff seems to affect procs leading me to believe procs are just crits with a different name and chance multiplyer, I am unsure on this but like i said i respeced out of bh so i can no longer test it myself.
The above will also work with Medics and Spys gas clouds i assume and any proffesion can use the the pvp base stims and officer buffs.
I put no to original because so many people know about the arm, but i feel that the proc stacking with 5 attacks a second is fairly original.
BREAKING STASIS
I have seen this work multiple times, if a medic hits you with stasis pull your jet pack and get on you can fly away. If there is more to this im not sure how to do it but I have seen pvpers on flurry do this and when asked this is what he told me. This was vastly more useful when you were stasised at 200m but, assuming it still works could be good for a quick get away from a melee medic.
Trading Rings
The non trade hero and colonel ring can be traded via marriage
I posted this some were else and it seems my login carried over to this sight, which seems better and more active, since this has been up on the other sight for 3 days with one response i will post here.
Edit since i cant reply and to add minor detail to the proc sploit
My suggestion for finding a pre nerf arm is talk to some vets, they probaly have a few laying around the house from when RoTW first came out, personaly i found mine attached to one of my alts from way back that i resubbed to make a ship write. Also the bh technique works without the bugged arm but the bugged arm seems to do wierd things to the blade of betrayer and bio capitance bracer.
