I'm in a bit of a quandary at the moment. I haven't touched my Operator's Amp since... I don't know, 2019? I recall putting together a "meh" option at the time since I wasn't using my Operator almost at all. Going back to see if I can do better now, I find myself entirely lost in Amp factoids, videos and stats. I've done all the Googling I could think of and still don't know what I'm doing, so here I am asking for help. The Amp I'm currently using is Cantic/Shraksun/Clapkra. I believe I did this at the time because it seemed like the best balance of damage and utility, but now I'm not so sure.
I'm mostly looking for something with decent damage both for single-target and AoE. Well, and something that's fun to actually use, as well. Neither my Prism nor my Scaffold are all that much fun. Cantic seems like a powerful Prism, but I don't like burst-fire weapons. Ideally, I'd like something automatic, but the only option there is Rahn and that... seems fairly weak. To the point that I'm not sure why one would even pick it over Cantic. Klamora looks like a neat alternative, but its short range concerns me. Originally, I used Shwaak for its similarity to the Plasmor, but low critical chance doesn't scale very well to higher levels and the limited range really killed my use of it.
Scaffold-wise, I'm honestly not sure why I'm using Shraksun. I vaguely recall it being considered "meta"for Eidolons, but I basically don't fight Eidolons any more these days. For actual enemies, it just doesn't do enough damage for how slowly it fires. Originally I wanted to use the Pencha scaffold, but that seems... really bad. Slow fire rate, low damage, low crit. I thought it looked like am Operator version of the Opticor, but it doesn't seem to hit very hard. Phahd, Dissic, Exard and Propa all look pretty good, but I can't make heads or tails of their stats and I don't fancy making them just to discard them if I don't like the Amp.
I don't know. I'm kind of lost in stats. Maybe if I could try those things out in the Simulacrum before committing to them, it wouldn't be so bad. However, it doesn't seem like I can even switch Operator gear there, much less try items I don't have. I just need something that's simple to use and decent against Sortie/Railjack level enemies (so 100-120), and I can't make heads or tails of the system for the life of me.
