#Is stormchaser the most damaging LFR?
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
This is well and beyond any other LFR I have used (Taipain with Firing line and Cata with Bait and switch). Am I missing something?
other lfrs have triple tap/fourth times the charm which makes them better
Stormchaser does higher damage per shot, but takes longer to shot all three rounds (even though charge time is the same), so DPS is similar
Usually I just use the LFR that matches my subclass and go with font of might, cataclysmic, taipan, reeds and stormchaser are all great
stormchaser has low total damage which is the whole reason why linears are relevant so it's nkt great
cata is the best due to having the best ammo economy perk (fttc) and highest weapon buff (35%)
That conflicts with what @near pine just said. Better total damage but lower dps. So better damage per bullet but less shots per second so it evens out.
I have never seen Cata get close to 150k with the 35% buff.
in arc burn storm chaser is GREAT. but without it stick to taipan or cataclysmic.
Because of TT/FTTC?
yes the whole point of linears is high total damage so ammo economy perks are great
TT/FTTC pull from reserves not thin air tho
stormchaser is high dps low total
no they pull from thin ajr
oh that makes more sense. So the increased damage per bullet from storm is made up with the fact that it doesnt have free ammo
makes sense!
and that you have to reload more often.
yes really like the taipan for it, its possible to shot like 20 rounds if triple tap and veist stinger activate constantly
and there's fewer arc buffs
stasis and void are easy to make wells for
so reeds and taipan will always be god tier
arc wells need kills
cataclysm (solar) technically can straddle the line of high dps high total damage. and there are solar exclusive buffs
but most players are sloppy when it comes to activating and maintaining the damage buff
So I know that there are easy ways to get stasis crystals/wells. How do you get ez void wells?
2 cost void mod, if you class, next kill will drop void well
so it kinda needs a kill too not just a super, but it's still easily primed with 100% success rate
cataclysmic and taipan have more total damage cause they have more rounds to shot, stormchaser hits harder per shot, but it also takes longer to shot those three rounds
Well this was a very interesting and in-depth conversation! Thanks all for the information :D
depends on the class, usually its pretty easy if you use elemental ordnance (for grenade builds)
stasis is the only element that gets an easier font proc
Also it fires much slower
Arc isnt the worst with a finisher and it drops 2
it is still no easier than void or solar as u require ads
