Archistopheles Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 400 damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnworthySeraph Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Nope, it's really slow, so it compensates for the awesome charge damage. Even if it is OP, I see it being what Vauban was for Warframes. The "new standard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krovakon Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ask yourself, when's the ;last time you used melee on level 70+ mobs and actually accomplished some damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitras Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I think the really long charge time and lower base damage makes it slightly better.. although 400 is a lot. But still, we need end-game weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwii Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 No. Slower charge speed than other charge weapons AND a horrible normal attack damage. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lautalocos Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ask yourself, when's the ;last time you used melee on level 70+ mobs and actually accomplished some damage? this. it´s not that the gelatine sword is OP, it´s that all other melee weapons are very, very bad. even at low levels. get a skana and try using it to kill enemies on the first mission. very weak, isn´t it?

General_Krull Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It's ok, it's marketed as "heavy artillery" of melee. It does such that. While I enjoy using the sword I wish they would stop adding more weapons and focus on older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nubsawce Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I remember the days when I was Loki running around with a plasma sword, preferring to charge cut people. Way back before mod cards were even a thing. I think we're still better off now, but yeah, most melee weapons are just a bad idea. Guns always win.

Sixty5 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ask yourself, when's the ;last time you used melee on level 70+ mobs and actually accomplished some damage? Glaive one shots level 70 mooks. And it has 150 base charge damage. You could have a melee that deals 9001 damage, but it would still be outclassed by guns, because guns mean you can hit from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope they beef up the normal swing damage a little though. Just a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAimbot Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It's likely balanced around Armor 2.0, whereas the other melees aren't. I doubt that a Mastery 3 weapon is supposed to rival a Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madotsuki Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It's somewhat OP. I mean, sure it has a long charge time to compensate for its charge damage, but that can be easily negated using Reflex Coil and Focus Energy. Considering the sword even comes with a - polarity slot, you can have a Rank 4 Reflex Coil by Rank 3 of the sword, which is approximately just one mission of heavy usage. ONE MISSION, and you can already negate almost all of the sword's disadvantages. The thing is, despite it feeling OP, I don't think it's the DAMAGE that needs to be nerfed. In fact, its normal swinging damage should be raised to a base of 60 or even 75 (justified by lack of armor ignore). However, both its swing speed AND charge speed need to be heavily reduced. Such as a base charge speed of 1.75-2s and 1.0 fire rate (one swing per second). That should make it unique and effective, without being obviously superior to everything else.

underverse Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 its balanced compared with the primary and secundary weapons guys come on guys just think about it how many times i have to said that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFireRogue Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) But, no. I don't think it's op. It's balanced with the speed and base damage considered. Edit: I believe that anybody "voting" on this subject should have to provide that they have used the weapon for a reasonable ammount of time.

Madotsuki Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 But, no. I don't think it's op. It's balanced with the speed and base damage considered. The thing with that is, while its BASE speed is relatively low, that can be EASILY modded with reflex coil and focus energy, especially since the sword comes with a - polarity slot. Plus, the low base damage actually just makes it YET another "Spam Charge" melee, which is honestly boring. They should have made the Galatine more like a proper 2h broadsword. Extremely powerful, but extremely slow. Just read my post above yours and underverse's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syle Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 jello is not OP its actually where other weapons should be other melee are UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the problem. Even with full modding, the charge time is still slower than the scindo. Let's not forget that reflex coil works on all melee weapons, not just Galatine. Edit: I think the problem is that everyone is comparing a modded Galatine to unmodded everything else, and that is not a level playing field. Nobody just has a weapon without mods.
