Deconstructor Fixes Not Actually Fixed

[Terrornaut]

So I've experimented with different mods on my deconstructor and gone to V Prime in Venus repeatedly.  

Equipping point strike + spoiled strike, or killing blow + corrupt charge does nothing for the damage. It still takes four hits to kill crewmen (two if headshotting), so I can tell the mods still do nothing.

 

Elemental mods work.

 

Edit: Sorry, this should be in the bug section.

Seems to add damage to me, though only from melee related mods, not charge. I've been running Ruk enough and it seems to kill Grineer pretty easily at those levels. Unless you're saying that the numbers in the Arsenal screen are incorrect.

Haven't used it since the Hotfix, but I bet the 5 second cooldown before the Helios actually changes target is still there isn't it?

[TonyFoot]

agree with OP, seeing no changes in arsenal screen or in combat.

Yup. Still as crap as ever. I can't wait for the Helios to hit L30, then I can go back to my vastly superior Shade/Deth Rifle.

The bugs are still there, only elemental mods seem to increase the damage.

As for the Deconstructor in general, I think it could have potential as a proc heavy CC weapon but the targeting needs to be drastically improved. At the moment there's little reason to use it over the Sweeper for example. I do wonder if it will interact with Melee 2.0 in some way though.
