Bebeness Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 My bf and I have differing opinions on how to use Orthos Prime. He says it's a better fury weapon, and when I used it, I felt it was more useful as a charge weapon. With all respective mods -- which has better dps? I know it has the highest regular damage in the game, but with all the charge mods + fury on, the charge feels short and it packs a wallop. (I can't believe I just wrote that, haha.)If my bf is right then I will respectfully tell him that he is correct, I just have a different experience and can't accept that that is how it is.

Slurmageddon Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Charge. All hail the wallop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceres666 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Spoiled_Strike ^ That mod, in my opinion, makes the 'fury' style still viable. Charge attacks DO ignore armor though.....so it can go either way. Depends on the weapons setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlanShark Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Charge spamming gives much higher dps on a single target and consistently hits more targets. It has the additional benefit of a completely consistent hitbox shape and range, whereas regular swings don't. Charged ignores armour, regular doesn't. (kind of a deal-sealer this one) Personally I still have fury fitted on my orthos prime. I feel it's worth the mod slot for the sake of movement utility and faster slide attacks in combat. Plus, regular swings are still useful for light enemies without necessarily building in a way that makes your charged atks weak.. If I do fit pressure point it's more to beef up the slide attack than regular melee. hope these ramblings are of some help :3 Edited October 12, 2013 by FlanShark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altey Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Fury is needed for faster charge animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlchemistMute Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It's more of a charge DPS weapon. A good normal attack weapon would be the Fang Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toom1275 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I personally use it fury-style. I take it along for Infested missions. In solo ODE missions, I can one-slash my way through light infested even with an Extinguished dragon key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leuca Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Fury style will be a lot more effective come armor 2.0, but I'm already using it like that just because it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xethier Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 i prefer the orthos as a fury weapon and the galatine as a charge. -- however i use heavy armor piercing on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Galatine beats everything when built for crits and charge, so your debate is irrelevent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Numbers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlWVt6vp3-YWdHZJRTBvRTBrNGNrb3dNbEZsc0tZVHc&usp=drive_web#gid=0 It is very much a charge weapon. Not only is the DPS far higher when used as a charge weapon, charged attacks ignore armor. Edited October 12, 2013 by Volt_Cruelerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
