Reaper Prime Should Be Better Than Store Version

[StuffedTurkey007]

According to my arsenal screen, Ether Reaper has the same damage as Reaper Prime. I had to farm LOTS of Void MD missions for it. I feel cheated. I think Reaper Prime should be stronger than its normal counterpart.

REAPER PRIME IS NOT RELATED TO ETHER REAPER.

The reaper prime and the dakra prime do not have any non-prime counterparts.  This can fit into the lore due to the fact the tenno may not have known of these weapons, so never reproduced them.  People try to link every prime to a non-prime, yet they ignore the lore.

Melee 2.0 is coming soon, along with every melee getting a buff and looked at individually. I'm pretty sure they will buff the reaper prime. It's stats are only decent because it was one of the fist prime weapons released.

Source? Reason? Any information at all? I see "Reaper" and "Reaper Prime" with identical stats; that's plenty enough for me.

Dakra Prime is called "Cronus Prime" in the game's files.

Reaper Prime was added in Update 8. In terms of its stats, design, and way it plays? It is considered the Orokin equivalent of Stalker's Hate; it has a lower charge damage, but a higher attack speed.

It is assumed to not based on Ether Reaper, since the Ether Reaper was not added till Update 10 and has a unique blade type closer to the other Ether bladed weapons. They are most likely a unique brand of weapon, as no to-date Prime weapons sport Ether blades.

Also note that the Ether Reaper comes with a 'V' polarity slot, unlike the Hate or Reaper Prime.

I wouldn't use the chronology of when something becomes available in the store to be the lore-chronology of when it was invented.

So...Ether Reaper is stat-wise identical to Reaper Prime, except stronger because of V polarity.

 

-_-

I think having 100% identical stats takes precedence over simply being a sidegrade...

If that were the case, wouldn't it be called hate prime? thats like making a prime version of the scindo and calling it fragor prime.

They were both released within the same... week? They're both scythes, but they're not of the same family tree. It's as if you're trying to say the Dark Sword should be paired up with the Heat Sword for a dual melee weapon.
