Cyberspace100 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Melee 2.0: Is the GALATINE any good? I HAVEN'T tried melee 2.0 but every one is saying in the forums that the galatine is @#$%. Is it? Here's some of what ive heard: *With that new melee 2.0 and all charge atacks removed i can see that the balance is on the side of fast melee weapons. *And at present, they took a cool and useful weapon and made it completely useless, because they were too incompetent to listen to all the feedback. *Tell me, why exactly should I use my now severely nerfed melee weapon to kill basic level 20 Grineer in three channeled hits when I can kill them in one body shot with my Aklex? *Yeah I definitely feel like the galatine got the shaft with this update. I feel your pain, I'm in the same boat, I leveled it up and loved it for being a great charge weapon. It sucks but it isn't like this is the first time they have changed a weapon enough to become useless. Is the GALATINE any good?

Genoscythe Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Its just not completely overpowered anymore, you can still kill stuff with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidPunch Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yea, kinda. It's not as good as it was. It's now on par witht he gram... but the gram is stronger then the Galatine at the moment verse grineer due to the fact that it has more puncture.

Cyberspace100 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Its just not completely overpowered anymore, you can still kill stuff with it. Of course, but i got the weapon only 10 days before melee 2.0 and I loved it to hell? It would really suck if it isn't even half decent anymore?

SpilockT_T Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes it is because other melee weapons can kill faster than it is now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can kill stuff with that skana, it doesn't mean it's good. Galatine, kills enemies really slowly now, esp without a stance. However, racking up the kill counter with make it just as strong and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.Katsura_999 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Yes, you better test it out and steel yourself for the result from 10k hits down to barely 1k hits is more than enough for me to sell it for the weapon slot it occupies to make room for my amphis. edit- I regret nothin the amphis is a beast >_< Edited April 19, 2014 by H.Katsura_999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vannell Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I HAVEN'T tried melee 2.0 but every one is saying in the forums that the galatine is @#$%. Is it? Why don't you try by yourself first, so you can actually make your own opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapt0rman Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 For heavy melee weapons it's all about the stance now, both the gram and the galantine are almost painfully unusable without them, but once you get cleaving whirlwind, things get awesome again, 7 consecutive spins doing 4x damage.

Cemges Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Beyblading with galatine + cleaving whirlwind is fun as hell and I mean one hits ancients at 50 level odd still. So yeah its good if you mod it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calayne Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 About melee 2.0 being geared towards fast weapons... I disagree. COMPLETELY. Myabe you should think through the new system a bit before judging it? While most melee weapons seem on par with one another, there's now a distinction between fast and slow weapons. Most people bash slow weapons because it builds combo multipliers more slowly. But truth is, both heavy and light melee weapons are good, but have their own niche, Dragon Nikana notwithstanding. The light weapons, as I said before, build combos much faster. However, some stances have combos which deal many hits for less damage. This makes it terrible for holding down the channelling button. Heavies, on the other hand, still build combo multipliers but much more slowly. But it's offset by the more devastating combos, and it's suitability for channelling attacks, since the fewer hits you do for the same damage, the less energy you spend while channelling. At any rate, they're all still good stuff. It's just that now the Galatine isn't the only player in town. Try it out. Asking on the forums can only get you so far.

Paul_Pianoff Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It's very sucky now. It moved from one of the best to one of the worst melee weapons. In it's type it's easily outpowered by Gram and Scindo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid analysis of the situation, Fast looks better on the surface but with a little tiny bit of thought and effort Heavy is just as good.

H.Katsura_999 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Melee 2.0 is about the stances now, not the weapon itself. but yeah with the proper stances you will still benefit from the galatine, me on the other hand i'm still farming for the stances for heavy melee weapons while i already have a staff stance by pure luck and that is why i sold the galatine for now until i get the stances.

Temporary Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) If it retained its high crit rate it would be a lot better for normal hits but as people have said it sucks without a stance mod... currently using channeling and a stance mod is the only way to get this weapon anywhere close to what it was but once you do its just as effective at dealing damage as anything else. On a side note its a S#&$load easier farming stance mods for this than it is the (Dragon)Nikana... Edited April 19, 2014 by Temporary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh please, tell that someone who had 5 formas on his acrid before damage 2.0 ^^ No, its the way it goes here, I for myself am veryh appy that amphis is a beast now, I hated the hell out of greatswords anyway.

SableSonata Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It's roughly balanced with most of the other melee weapons. It's not as good or better than the Primes in general anymore, but that's apparently DE's vision for weapons. Balance everything about equally, except make the Prime versions flat out better so that endgame choice is just one weapon per class instead of 2 to 4 or more in each class.

KoshLovesYou Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 If you're not a fan of slow swinging, swirling weapons? Then yeah, it is. I build it more for the charge attack, myself, and that's gone. So to me, Galatine is less useful. Moved on to the Dragon for stealth strikes when I don't feel like Dual Ichoring. It uses the Heavy Axes (or just axes? I forget) stance, however, which gives it combos that let you do nutty swings, so. If that's your thing? More power to you. Seen people enjoy it in the Dark Sectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cemges Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Infested defense can give you extreme fun and combos with whirlwind, although you need to learn the fact that if you press e too much on second heavy combo, you'll be staggered: use the whirlwind carefully.
