Kato-san Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Right now Akmagnus is the only dual pistol where its crit is lower then the single gun version. Now if its base dmg was higher it would make up for it, but it is not, and I feel it should be changed to be equal to the crit dmg and chance of the single version of Magnus.

Archistopheles Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Lex has a higher crit chance. Vasto has the same crit chance. Magnus has a lower crit chance. What about the DPS breakdown? What about the Status Proc chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsAndTheSea Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 it already has a higher fire rate, lower recoil, double magazine size while the reload is only x1.5 times longer, to make up for the lower crit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verazix Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 it already has a higher fire rate, lower recoil, double magazine size while the reload is only x1.5 times longer, to make up for the lower crit Most dual weapons come with a 2x modifier on fire rate while the Akmagnus is not even a 1.5x modifier, then it lacks a polarity as well unlike the original's V. Even accounting for the lower recoil (which is odd in itself), it's probably the weakest "upgrade" comparatively of other single->dual weapons. I wouldn't even be surprised if it turned out to not really be an upgrade at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archistopheles Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ive always thought dual versions were supposed to be sidegrades anyway Nah, they always had a +10 to coolness, and a 1.5x badassery multiplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verazix Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ive always thought dual versions were supposed to be sidegrades anyway Sadly your thoughts and this game's past patterns don't align. I wouldn't mind if that was the case though, I've always preferred holding a handgun in a single hand in games. Feels a bit more realistic and I've passed the stage of "OMG I FEEL SO BAD &#!" just by dual wielding. Unless I could dual wield rocket launchers anyway, then I'd probably feel bad &#!.

Vanhline Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ive made a post on this as well, we'll see if our opinions actually go anywhere or if the gun just ends up being more mastery fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_TL Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Unless I could dual wield rocket launchers anyway, then I'd probably feel bad &#!. Unless you already have, you might want to acquaint yourself with the Gunzerker from BL2. Dual Rocket Launchers are the norm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptic Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Personally I think they should make the change from Magnus to Akmagnus more like the change from Vasto to Akvasto. The fire rate should be about doubled, just like on the Akvasto and many other dual versions. At the same time the Crit Chance and Multiplier should be the same as regular Magnus, again the same as the change from Vasto to Akvasto. If players are going through the extra expense of building it and are giving up a polarity slot, then they should get more out of it than they currently are with the Akmagnus. At least that's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
