Psychosist Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Synapse Base DMG: 12 Electric Base RoF: 10.0 Rounds per Second Noncrit DPS: 120 DPS Crits: 50% | x2.0 Status: 10% per sec Amprex Base DMG: 7.5 Electric Base RoF: 20 Rounds per Second Noncrit DPS: 150 DPS Crits: 50% | x2.0 Status: 20% per sec Same crit stats as Synapse, but comes with a higher Base DPS. The Status Chance is also doubled than that of Synapse. Don't forget this monster shoots chained lightning to create psuedo-AoE for exponential DPS boosts. We may have on our hands another Soma-tier continuous weapon (with Electric base dmg for Radiation, Magnetic, Corrosive) that can excel at crowd control. Discuss.

Does the Amprex has unlimited range or a capped one like Synapses' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychosist Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Does the Amprex has unlimited range or a capped one like Synapses' Being continuous, I would assume it's capped, but it can chain to multiple targets similar but not quite like the Ignis, allowing for exponential DPS count.

Wallace24 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 looks like fun, can't wait to try it out. I like status effect guns, so this seems right up my alley. unlike synapse, which has been gathering dust for a long while. so basically it's a synapse I'll actually use. slightly more than half the damage of synapse with double the fire rate sounds like it does beat out the synapse for damage. at the cost of ammo consumption, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexlightning Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 "Get used to it" is all I can say. They said they would discuss the whole clantech nonsense in the devstream, but I don't have very high hopes about whatever solution they have.

Pythadragon Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Can anyone confirm that it shoots "chain lightning" or is that simply referring to the AOE electric proc? You should be able to test this by simply adding a second elemental (say, toxin for corrosive damage) so that it only does corrosive damage.

Warriorrogue Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 "Get used to it" is all I can say. I'm guessing(hoping) that they're filling out the clantech, and it'll swap back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaboinglefop Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 it shoots extra little arcs while you're firing it for smaller damage than the original shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_Cactus Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) it shoots extra little arcs while you're firing it for smaller damage than the original shot. Can those arcs proc status? Edited April 23, 2014 by Noble_Cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaboinglefop Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I can't really tell since it shoots so fast and procs so frequently. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to test this by simply adding a second elemental (say, toxin for corrosive damage) so that it only does corrosive damage. Just bought it. It chains. Even when you aim it at a wall it will just bounce all over the place. So OP and so unrewarding if you ask me. And just like that.. Synapse is useless. Higher base DPS/higher status chance (with more fire rate to proc it) Can't wait to see people using the poison dmg/status + lightning dmg/status mods and proc stuff all over the damm place. We need some better snipers imo. EDIT: The arcs proc status as well. And it procs on pretty much every enemy once before I kill it. Just ridiculous if you ask me.

Dalu__Ka Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Don't worry, it will get nerfed when the sales slow to a grind so a new "OP" Tenno reinforcement can take it's place :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)WizdomWordz Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 if your a synapse user like myself this is a slap in the face why not just buff the synapse instead and have this weapon do something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gysahl Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Its like they waited for me to start destroying/rebuilding my dojo, i wonder if its worth the 7 and a half day wait time haha (cross connector, oracle, corpus lab, research and build time). Aside from that it looks like a fun weapon, bring on the green lightning! =D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used 6-forma synapse and 5-forma ignis a lot, this would be a nice third option. Granted, I got almost all weapons, I just love those 2 a lot.
