Draxxon Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Latron still isn't buffed enough. It's such a shame with a weapon design with much potential and yet I find it outshined by several side-arms. -----edit----- On another note, neither of the Vandals have their stat change reflected on the UI. Also Lex says 70, not 80 in the UI. Edited March 23, 2013 by Draxxon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraumaHunter Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Latron still isn't buffed enough. It's such a shame with a weapon design with much potential and yet I find it outshined by several side-arms. I have been using a level 30 latron and a level 30 lex. (together side by side at same time for about 3 days now) The lex definitely outshines it. I feel if the reload speed/ clip size of the latron wasn't so attrocious it could stand up dps wise. When fighting super low level mobs and your gun kills them in 1 bullet - the latron is clearly superior because of its clip size... but for fights more matched to your rank - it really hurts. 6 shots to kill a single mob is too much for a semi auto gun ESPECIALLY when the clip size is 15 =.=. The lex just seems to do it faster. I am glad its no longer the pea shooter it used to be. But you just gave everyone in the game a pistol with better stats than the latron. Lato vandal might do less damage per shot - but the clip size is identical, accuracy is just as strong, and it reloads 3x faster. DPS wise - it clearly outshines the latron. And thats just not good :\ On that note - i finally built a hex - haven't even gotten to use it but it sounds like it got a nerf lol Dx oi </3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClockworkSpectre Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Nerf to the Braton vandel is very disapointing. Though like others have noted the UI still says 20 damage. Honestly what is the point of the vandel if it has basically the same damage as the other bratons. If they are going to leave the damage at 18 maybe a clip size boost is in order.

Noteleet Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 ^ Melee changes? Would love to have a reason to try out some of my other melee weapons. Also the tooltips are displaying old values. Unsure which set of information to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually switched to it right after the patch because it performs so well without mods. The crit chance increase should be a solid buff, since crit stacks so well with headshotting.

cred Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Honestly, anyone saying the Latron is fine now against higher level mobs, is dead wrong. It was literally the only weapon I used before the update, and I can tell, it's been nerfed, a lot. Even with quite a few proper mods installed (+40% damage, multishot, puncture, freeze damage)[all the values which they are at, save for damage, I forget], the gun is extremely underwhelming. It's a shame, because it really is a great gun. Or was. Or should be. Maybe I just need to upgrade the mods all the way for the Latron to be what it once was. It wasn't overpowered before, but it was just right. Had a large amount of DPS, enough to keep up with the ROF from fully-auto rifles, and the clip size with upgrades was perfect. Now, it's just god awful. Welp, here's to hoping. EDIT: Maybe not nerfed, but the change has definitely affected the gun for the worse.
