Ok even without going infinite Volcanic rounds feel busted as gently caress. 3x-4x damage, ignores armor(so it hits even harder against elites), inflicts Burn(with a decent range), marks enemies, AND pierces. EDIT: Also I'm just crushing parts that I had trouble with as Devastator. Devastator just needs buffs all around.

I just finished the main game and have to agree - Shaman are the ONLY enemies, bosses included, that feel like ridiculous bullet sponges. I can empty two clips of Toxic rounds into them and then have to wait for the refill before I can finish them off. Not. Fun.

Memnaelar posted:Not sure if I believe there's actually a role for Sniper Rifles in this game. Like in any other game. "I want that dude shooting at me from the other side of the map to be dead, just now". Is also a high-damage weapon / burst damage. If you have a skill that mark a enemy to get double the damage from your first shot, is better to shot at him with a shotgun, or a sniper rifle, than with any other weapon, that will do a fraction of the damage. On this game is feasible to use sniper rifles kind of like shotguns, doing bodyshots with a sniper. High-skill players can chain headshots. With a mod where headshot=no ammo cost. It mean a single mag of 10 bullets will last forever and infinite ammo. While doing the same with a autoweapon is less feasible. Tei fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Apr 8, 2021 |

Maybe it's just me, but I felt like both shotguns and sniper rifles became obsolete very quickly once you start rising up the World Tiers (and Challenge Tiers). Theoretically they offer burst damage, but since everything in the game is ridiculously tanky by that point, you don't get much value out of that. That said, I wasn't playing one of the classes with a good bullet skill. Clarste fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Apr 8, 2021 |

Floppychop posted:It being 15% of my total isn't "bad" considering the main reason I make things bleed is to trigger effects that let me do X% more damage to enemies affected by bleed. I'm saying don't put all your points in bleed skills or mods. If you're truly "making a bleed build" and only getting 15% of your damage, could those points be used somewhere else?

Sniper rifles aren't awful for Technomancer, although they aren't worth bringing to monster fights or cramped arenas. I do like bringing one with that weird devil chains mod on it, so I can peg some idiot enemy sniper with one shot, then watch him die from across the room.

Getting 15% of your damage from one out of ten mod slots means you're actually getting above average value from it. You don't need all your moves to do bleed, you just need to have it up consistently. Also, presumably you have the mod that makes you deal 15% more damage to bleeding targets, so roughly 15% of all your other damage is also coming from bleed. So like 27% of the total.

Is anyone else playing this on console (I知 on Xbox One X)? I just started last night and feel like the input lag and general imprecision of aiming makes gunplay very frustrating. I may have to switch to PC or just play an anomaly-heavy build.

A good place to grind out level exp and WT is the First City story point: Reach the other side of the river. You just clean out the perforo horde, rinse and repeat. Do you bother getting to the Alpha, or just the first wave?

On PS5 and the Series consoles it's 60 which is fine.

Tell you the truth seeing 15% more damage from anything is alot better than looking at infinite damage builds.  Look at that clear time too, can't do that with an anomaly power build. Hope they post something about nerfing it today. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Apr 8, 2021 |

Upcoming changes got posted earlier than intended. Farm spots dead, legendaries on bounty repeats dead, bullet skills a wee nerfed and zilch for other skills. Stanley Pain posted:Really hope Devastators get some love soon. Seems like that's a no for now.

So time to finish some expeditions made harder chem plant(which wasnt the fastest) got nerfed and boom town which was already hard to clear got even harder. Good good, even though there is faster already. Bullet skills added longer cooldowns and slightly less dmg. Man the cooldown on infinite ammo builds really was the problem with them, right? No buffs for ap builds. I don't think they played the game.

Good good, even though there is faster already. I was hoping they wouldn't start going this route but they are. Nerfing things and making it harder to gear up so those of us behind the curve already just fall further behind. Like nerfing the cooldown on that skill is a stupid way of fixing the problem.

It might be a problem when day 1 people are getting gold on CT15 content. Smoothing out the different powers, builds, and power scaling would make for a better experience than everyone instantly skipping the whole CT progression and then bitching there's nothing to do.

I would much rather prefer anyone could play just about anything at the highest level and not be a detriment to the group because they arn't doing the best thing. Anomaly damage should have been buffed.

I started with Devastator since after playing all of the classes in the demo it's the one that "felt right" for my style of play. I'm currently climbing the expedition tiers and have hit a wall at 11, I'm debating if I just bite the bullet and reroll a new character on a different class.
