CatScratch Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 My favorite weapon is boltor, but mostly of how cool it looks. But in dps department I find it kinda lacking, Soma and some others outperform it by large margin. I personally feel it needs some damage buff because slow projectile speed is enough disadvantage in itself that it doesn't need low damage too. What do you guys think?

xoxcloudxox Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Did you try puncture with it? Is it good? dont use puncture stick to using all elemental mods, armor piercing mods, multishot, damage mods and all that, if you want put a 40% speed trigger on or added bonus, all of my mods in the boltor are maxed and it does a decent job, imo puncture is useless.

Zeally Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 You do realize that there is a large change coming to the game in the way enemy armor/damage to enemies is being handled. I seem to notice people complaining a lot, and I mean a lot, and a large margin of them are either uniformed or just plain dont know. With that said, I'd expect weapon changes/balances to come after that update, rather than before, becuase that would make sense. i hear ya brother, but tbh De is too lazy to bother with it, i already made threads about it and of course people were with me on the idea but DE never took a look in so it seems like its not going to happen. Good example of what I mean right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am using multishot, serration, speed trigger, all 4 elemental dmg and I dont know what to put in last slot currently am using eagle eye but am annoyed by death annimations when my bolts dont go trough, and I know that puncture has been reworked with the last patch to work with bolt weapons.

Tartanu Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Did you try puncture with it? Is it good? Puncture with boltor is a top tier setup. But really, the boltor does need some love. They nerfed the fire rate from 11.7 to 8.8 and the damage from 24 to 18. With the power creep in this game, it could stand to get a buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because creating and maintaining such a big game is so easy that devs got time for every complain. I can bet that DE got far more on their plate then you do. Just wait patiently until armor 2.0 comes and check how will it perform then. Any changes to wepons prior to that would be just pointless.

tastycakes5 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I don't think it should be buffed. De can't make every single weapon viable in end game or higher level content. Some weapons have a place in warframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwii Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Here's the trend: New great weapons that are gonna be replaced by newer better weapons (supra -> soma -> something). Old weapons? Forget about em, they'll join the likes of the Burston and Lato as mastery rank weapons. Because DE isn't gonna go back to fix stuff. Too busy adding new stuff, remember?

tatcher Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 18 dmg is not enough to take on level 500-600 + enemies i have been there. It has innate armor pierce/ignore, there has to be SOME incentive to use other weapons, buffing it would make the Boltor the ultimate weapon to use.

BlueIstari Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 A Boltor buff would be nice, but isn't really necessary. It's still good, but just isn't as "convenient" as newer weapons and clan tech. I've heard that DE will be giving every weapon a once-over for the damage and armor rework though, so who knows? Might get your wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
