so, after latest fix to Gildor’s Pulverizer, I had to re-test my old build, Pierce Sabo (Grenado + BT + BS). GT goes down here:
so, what can I say:
- BS damage did get fixed (and it got better), now they kill the dummy in about 50 seconds instead of 1:10.
- their overall impact and damage, tho, still are pretty bad. the issues that I had are the following:
- BS are just slow and dumb. they take a lot of time to get to the enemy and surround it, and sometimes they struggle to blade burst it or w/e. but even if they manage to, they’re almost always late to the party since blowing shit up with Grenado is way better.
- another problem is that build is pretty squishy still. it has good stats and HP but kinda low phys res (more than twice as less as its cold counterpart), less mobility and no access to any reliable DR. pierce melees have Tyrant’s prefix, only other option is Loadstone - but let’s be honest, it’s a dollar store option you can’t really rely on.
videos from SR30-w-e and naked ex:
in SR it’s pretty noticeable that BS lag behind and when they get to big dudes, they’ve already eaten some grenades to their faces.
what I suggest? tough question, tbh.
- I think the biggest improvement would be giving a DR mod to Grenado. it’s a big explosion, build is pretty short on defences (having basically just Blast Shield), so I think sth like 18% DR would be very welcomed here.
- About BS part? Maybe increase their speed, or their damage further, or their attack rate. Now they feel very mid to me (despite bleed ones).
