Valkyr - Handspring Or Constitution?

[(PSN)DJ_Jiggles]

Right now, I'm making a melee only Valkyr. My problem is being knocked down, ESPECIALLY by Ancients. I was going to use handspring, but I kept hearing it was useless compared to constitution. For someone with an always-in-your-face build, which is better?

Constitution offers 40% knockdown recovery.

Handspring offers 160% knockdown recovery and a badass animation.

 

Questions?

I would say handspring, because in the end if you just want to get up faster the clear winner is handspring, with lower mod cost and a much faster recovery speed of 160% instead of 40%., it makes it much easier to get up and start beating stuff up again again, hope this helps.

GADDAMN! PS4 wasn't showing the wiki page right so I couldn't see the stats. Just shot my doubts in the head.

Thanks.

No worries, buddy!

 

THOUGH; if you go for a lot of duration on your Valkyr, constitution MIGHT just be better. You will have to give it a feel yourself of which is more important. Personally though, I prefer handspring in any occasion.

To clarify, Handspring reduces the knockdown by ~0.7 seconds. Never really tested Constitution, but I assume its around 1/4th of that, so ~0.175 seconds.

 

Half a second less knocked down isn't worth the loss of duration, IMO. I'd use Constitution.

 

 

 

Especially because knockdowns are easily preventable if you pay attention and see them coming. Just roll, slide attack, or cast something, and you're immune to knockdown during the animation.

Thing is, I already have a 29 second Warcry and 50something Hysteria. I don't really need more duration. Once I finish releveling her, I'll see if it helps. If it doesn't, well, I'll just put my ripline back on and dump some more ranks into Vitality.

I use melee weapon that gives immunity to CC while swinging instead.

Constitution for duration.

 

You have hysteria for knockdown immunity (and many other things). Enough said.

[Churpy]

I wouldn't use any knockdown recovery on her, but that's just me. Go for constitution so that you can keep Warcry and/or Hysteria up longer.

If using Warcry, Constitution.
