Tigris Needs a Buff

[Godlysparta]

I remember back in the day... Tigris Prime was the best gun in the game hands down. However, then DE nerfed it into the ground. Now, the Tigris Prime sits there in my inventory collecting dust. A relic of a bygone era where people would hunt Eidolons with shotgun. With the current new mods in the game (particularly Cannonade), I do believe Tigris is due for a buff. As of right now, Tigris Prime does do quite a bit of damage. However, this pales in comparison to the power of something like Corinth or Strun Prime now with cannonade. Tigris having a duplex fire type makes it unqualified to use cannonade mods. I want to see Tigris Prime to be at least usable again. I don't ask for much but maybe buff it's crit or bring back some of the status chance so it's per pellet status chance would inflict more bleed. All I ask for is to give Tigris Prime a chance. With Nekros Prime coming back soon, I think it's about time Tigris Prime gets something.

I did a stupid and put both the primed reload speed and the primed magazine size mods. Felt good enough to me, maybe mod differently?

DE didnt "Nerf It" , DE changed how Status chance was applied to Shotguns which was pretty buggy and made no sense.

Correct, a Bygone era and just because it was strong back the day, doesnt mean it should be topping the tier list nowdays.

Perhaps, if DE feels like it, they might make an Incarnon Adapter for it but dont hold your hopes up.

There are dozens of new mods added after DE made the Status change to Shotguns, perhaps you should try modding it differently and try new combinations as Fred above mentioned, he still gets quite a punch from it.

Try not being a Slashaholic, there are other very viable elements nowdays with the IPS and some of the combined Element reworks.

There's a difference between being meta and being usable. In it's current state, it's very difficult to use and doesn't inflict enough damage to warrant the long reload time. Even the Vectis can output more damage now than the Tigris. That being said, yes, I am aware that there are new statuses. I am aware that the shotgun can function better with certain mods. However, as it stands, it can barely keep up with a lot of new weapons these days. I mean, look at the Cedo and Bubonico. They have AoE and do a ton of damage that will one shot most content. Then there's the Tigris who can barely 2 shot a single mob now. I definitely don't think Tigris should be brought back up to where it was before, I just want to play with a double barreled shotgun and not do terrible damage. Maybe some day, it will come back, but as of right now, it's not living up to the double barreled shotgun that should be at least useful. Right now, it doesn't feel like a double barreled shotgun and that's my problem with it.
