    Just sayin', stop shooting before the magazine is empty and you get a much faster recharge.

    So, either muster some trigger discipline to keep your DPS up, or enjoy Health draining AoE damage after going all out, I like those options.

    true, but being forced to fire in bursts kills any enjoyment for me. if i have to constantly micromanage a weapon to avoid its gimmick, then that gimmick is nothing but a burden on the weapon's usability. damage-wise, the aoe is useless, but the health draining is admittedly nice. honestly if it worked like the shedu where it came out in one pulse and you could get back to shooting faster, id probably like it.

    So you basically don't know half of the importants things about it, didn't try to circumvert the low crit chance in any of the possible ways, and say it need to be buffed ?

    I guess I will just test it by myself and completely ignore your opinion so, because imho, it seems pretty strong, number wise, specially after the status buff... Have you even tried it with Viral + Heat+180% status ? Or was that also way above your consideration ? And did you even consider punch through to see if it multiply the chaining as it does with Amprex ? Or that too was far too "insignificant" (just a potential x2 damage multiplier overall, nothing important, I agree...)

    I did try to mod for crit chance with argon scope and point strike, and if a weapon requires warframe/arcane buffs those buffs could be applied to greater effect on a weapon that can stand on its own without them.

    also it cant even get to 180% status (all 4 60/60s with rifle aptitude gets it to 129%) and you cant build viral and heat on it due to its base damage being electricity. putting on heat turns it to radiation. 

    with the punchthrough thing, after testing it i genuinely couldn't tell, the damage dealt was still almost nothing. 2x trash is still trash.

    for the primary, a status build did no damage anyway, and a crit build was the only way it was usable.

    The reload time is way too long proportional to the magazine size, making the gun no fun to use. For example, the supra vandal has a much longer reload, but it also has a 300 round magazine, making it a fair tradeoff. The 21 rounds the basmu has run out very quickly. After building it a bit it can be serviceable if you have argon scope, but if you don't have that then its just not worth the inconvenience.

    The secondary just does no damage to anything. The crit chance is just too low. The difference between 2% and 7% here is vast, with the kuva nukor being able to get a decent crit chance of ~20% with just primed pistol gambit, not even counting hydraulic crosshairs. The basmu gets up to 5% before argon scope, and argon scope is rare and expensive. Even when it crits, the low base damage cripples it. The kuva nukor has 21 base damage (not accounting the elemental bonus from the lich) compared to the basmu's 12. Pistols also have hornet strike for a greater damage boost, leading to the kuva nukor being miles ahead in damage output. Having a base status of 50% instead of 30% helps the kuva nukor even more. While the weapons are somewhat similar, one is clearly worse.

    It does have infinite ammo, which is nice. If the clip bottoms out, you're stuck in a slow reload, working like a traditional reload. If you don't bottom out you can actually keep shooting, as it regenerates like the shedu. The life steal comes out in 3 waves while youre reloading. The effect is nice, but not worth the hit to the weapon's usablilty.

     

    i don't know how many enemies can be chained and i frankly do not care, it deals poo poo damage to a lot of enemies at once.

    Thanks for these precisions!

    The DPS of the main fire mode seems quite high, about base 975 dps (accounting for crit and damage falloff) so probably in the top 5%. Keep in mind that the Acceltra was one of the most used weapons for along time before the Bramma, saying a weapon is bad because it's not as good as it might not be fair.

    The alt fire seems to have overall similar stats to the kuva Nukor, which is currently overused too. But if the two beams fires like the convectrix i understand why some might not like it, despite the added chaining. Could you please explain in more details why you consider it useless (which again is quite a strong adjective)?

    Also does it indeed have infinite ammo? how does the life steal work? Is there a delay before reloading? These mechanics sound very similar to the shedu.

    (edit - 300, supra vandal has a magazine of 300.)

  5. The long reloads and lack of any damage dealing ability make this weapon a waste of time to grind for. Its not even funny bad like the stug, its just irritating. The primary is just a bad acceltra, but if it had crit chance worth a damn it would be salvageable. The health stealing thing is nice but not worth the sacrifice of a long reload. Coupled with the low magazine capacity the weapon has more downtime than uptime, and its frustrating to try and get kills with. The secondary is just a bad kuva nukor. That gun works because it has enough crit chance to use its multi semi-frequently. 2% is just not enough to get a meaningful amount of crits, even with mods, and when you do get a crit it still does no damage because of the whopping 12 base damage. After farming for a whole day for this thing, im frankly a bit miffed that its nigh unusable.

  6. This is incredibly infuriating, especially when the reload takes so long that I cant fire another round, robbing me of my proc. It used to work fine, last update it was happening inconsistently, now its every time. The proc is happening, the scope has the ring and its displayed in the corner. Its a massive flaw in my favorite gun, please fix!
