Paralysis Decreases Valkyr's Melee Dps

[nekrojiji]

As the title sais.... 

 

If I use Paralisys in Hysteria I deal 200~1000 damage in a stealth attack that takes a very long time instead of hitting with 6000~12000 damage in less than a second.

 

Why would I use Paralysis!?

What melee weapons are you using? Because with my dual ichors my sneak attacks range from 13-26k

This is why many players feel that making each maneuver type be boosted by different base damage mods was a bad idea. It makes anything other than the main focus of the weapon useless.

dont use it then

It's largely because Hysteria is basic melee damage only (and your modded weapon generally should be too to maximize Valkyr). Stealth attacks are based off of charge dmg. 

 

It's not entirely synergetic to do so, unless you decide to get crazy and mod her for Galatine or Jat Kittag. If so...have fun, and I'd like to see the numbers there.

Paralysis puts enemies on "unalerted" state for a few seconds and if you get close to them and press e then you'll do a stealth finisher. It happens with all melee weapons but it's easier with hysteria and other low range melee weapons. 

It's a "hidden" mechanic from paralysis that actually gives bonus damage if not using a finisher, much like excalibur's RB and loki/ash invis.

I'm using Dual Ichor with full damage(presure, spoiled, true steel, organ shatter) and full toxin mods and my sneak attacks deal 200~1000 on Palus Corpus.

 

On what enemies did you see those numbers....lvl 5 ones?!

The sneak attack is based on "non upgraded" charge attack. " I've seen this....I've done this....You don't want this."

 

 

 

In this game sneak attack is a waste of a good opportunity. The sneak attack should have a chance to do lethal damage.... not normal damage.

 

 

 

Anyway ...my point still remains .....

 

For you who said you deal 26k damage in hysteria with dual ichor on a sneak attack .... what did you smoke?!

 

And

 

My option to not use Paralysis seems better at this moment. I still think that a stealth attack would need to kill not tickle.

Just use a slam attack then hit them while they're grounded.  This isn't rocket science.
