War_Admiral_Adama Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Acrid lost it's god-tier title when 2.0 came out. The Embolist is proven in both 1.0 and 2.0. I'd say Embolist. The only problem is that you need to be close, but the sheer DPS is astounding. If you'd like a Acrid that's well suited for 2.0, try the Tysis.

VKhaun Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Don't know why Acrid gets all the hate. Tysis is locked into partial corrosive, Acrid's entire base damage can be converted to anything with Toxic and Toxic is a very flexible damage type to leave just toxic if you want a combo. Nothing wrong with Tysis though. Also a fine weapon IMO, though I have much less EXP with it. I can't call Acrid better or worse than Embolist, it's a really weird comparison, but I can say for certain that the Acrid is completely worth using still and not 'underpowered' by any means. I will gladly livestream using my 6x forma Acrid doing whatever you like to help you decide, if you're just being careful about Forma or resource expenditure. I'll be online playing in about two hours, give or take. I recommend Embolist for a CC heavy application or for anti-infested. I would recommend Acrid for the void or longer range engagements. Acrid is also nice for Mag because Techs can get kind of HP spongy and don't get instagibbed by Shield Polarize, but do lose their shields. 100% viral hitting a Tech with his shieldpants down is LOL.

Magmahunter Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 you're comparing a Vectis with an Ignis... 2 completely different weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
