roors99 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Heavy Scythes have a followthrough of 0.4, which is the lowest in the game shared with Hammers. However, compared to Hammers, Heavy Scythes differ by having large cutting blades to help slice through things. A followthrough stat this low means that the wide, sweeping attacks of the Hespar don't do greatly against multiple targets, but the Galeforce Dawn stance doesn't offer great single target damage either. Therefore, I propose buffing the followthrough of the Hespar to be 0.6 or 0.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReddyDisco Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Having such a low followthrough wouldn't feel so bad if the stance multipliers were high enough to not notice but galeforce dawn leaves a lot to be desired, Hespar having such a high impact weighting doesn't help either.

Having said that, I feel we're at a time when some weapons should be dealing innate void damage. Hespar makes sense IMO. I mean it is literally the weapon of enemies using void energy so why can it not deal a little void damage? It would offset some of the negatives about the weapon. Hespar is currently one of those "more trouble than it is worth" considering it is literally an endgame weapon with mid-game stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the "diet void damage" DE have already made it clear that "void damage" isn't really the thing that breaks eidolon shields. They should realistically just say the shields are vulnerable to amp damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3512 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Realistically the Hespar is worse than Reaper prime even factoring in normal scythe stances, which I dislike, a lot. I'm not saying we need more power creep but some parity would be nice. Rather than a cool looking, low drop chance overall weakish weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has some forward momentum from standing combo. At least what I can see. Cool factor cannot outshine it too much. 4 hours ago, Leqesai said: Having said that, I feel we're at a time when some weapons should be dealing innate void damage. Hespar makes sense IMO.

If the status isn't wanted then the weapon wouldn't have to be used.... I don't necessarily want cold damage so I don't need to use Sibear. AOE weapons without primed sure footed can be annoying due to stagger so I might want to use something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone likes Void proc (Xaku's time). Not using is not solution. With Sibear you can combine cold into other elements. With Void you just cannot do it. It will proc, sometimes more than neccessary. Or you are using void where teammate want to headshot someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I understand what you're saying here but I don't agree that it is an issue. There are a myriad reasons people might not want people to use X or Y but that doesn't mean X or Y shouldn't be options. I mean, Limbo exists even though a lot of people hate playing with him. He still has a place in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean it's useful but it's created for less people. And we have Xata's whisper for Void lovers. I would like to see it as option in incarnon evolution (do you want void status: yes [] no []). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermillion-Code Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I love the weapon moveset, It's fantastic... but the weapon (stance) is insanely weak. Have to have an arcane strike (so I can drop attack speed mods on the Hespar for more damage) saryn buffing build with her 1 augment to keep up in steel path, which is completely unacceptable for a weapon that's only available in the latest content and requiring a (for weapons standards) extremely high Mastery Rank requirements. Two massive buffs from a frame with a minmaxed build and it falls behind HEAVILY to any other weapon. It won't change with a new Heavy Scythe, the stance needs buffed not the Hespar.

Venus-Venera Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 that doesn't help at all! because anyone who can unlock something like that has a new mele weapon with passive stats and 11-12 combo points in the background. so... it has to offer a lot more. Because what's the point of kronen prime if I always have new mele with 250-280% crit and it also does slash. and hespar doesn't keep up here. and is supposed to be harder to get?

(NSW)HydroBlade Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 ah yes, big blade? check using two hands two swing it? check Its the size of a warframe? check made of solid steel (or something?) check.. maybe? surely.. it should cut through enemies! 0.4 follow through the two handed ghoul saw with a giant metal blade laughing in the distance with 1.0 follow through "hmm... we need a good stance. it has low follow through.. hmmmmm. aha! a stance with sweeping attacks designed for a weapon to clear mobs!" on the hespar with 0.4 follow through I love the look of this scythe but now I look at it and feel a well of despair at how oddly it was designed stats/stance wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMasque Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 My only gripe with this weapon is its slide melee. You'll think it do like a spinning double slash or something buts its the heavy blade swing, and the funny thing is, the bottom of the scythe clips into the warframe.
