#Is stormchaser the most damaging LFR?

With nothing but weaken grenades and well I was doing 150k(with all 3 shots) per bullet with storm.

#

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

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?

dapper urchin
#

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

when it does pull.

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.

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

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

Well this was a very interesting and in-depth conversation! Thanks all for the information :D

stasis is the only element that gets an easier font proc

#

it is still no easier than void or solar as u require ads

#

You can use melee wellmaker or the grenade one on any subclass, so it isn’t hard to make any well really

#

Just far easier to do on reeds due to supreme wellmaker ofc
