Throwing Weapons Please Buff.

[Nampoosh]

Why do all the throwing weapons have such poor status chance and crit chance/damage?

 

I feel like they should have one of those decently high. All they have going for them is reload speed.

u only need to polarize them 10 times to make them op

Throwing weapons have high damage and high fire rates in addition to good reload times.

 

You don't need crits or status when you already have massive innate sustained DPS

[Thirsty_Pickle]

Have you used Despair?

 

It's pretty damn powerful...

[Nampoosh]

I don't care about sustained dps or anything. I just feel like they could use something besides non hitscan and reload speed to differentiate them from machine pistols.

Did you try the Castanas? I can get up to 3k Corrosive damage without forma. They also don't run out of ammo as fast as the other throwing weapons.

 

Also Castanas have a 100% chance to stun from what I remember.

Sustained DPS is the last word in things you want.

 

If you have high sustained DPS then you can wreck stuff for years.

My hikou that i can shoot 40 times before I spend 1.1 seconds reloading seem ok to me

Always the sacred God "DPS"... *sigh*

Always makes me sad... *sob*

Oh and sustained DPS for sniper rifles isn't really the "last word in things you want". Or for bows. Then you actually want big numbers every shot. Because you know, fire rate. Just saying^^.

The issue with throwing weapons (among others...), at least for me, is ammo efficiency. They are not ammo efficient. Therefore not optimal. Therefore not good. Take a Dread or Paris Prime. Now that's ammo efficiency. Provided you can aim of course^^. But that's irrelevant, I know. Hum hum... Carry on fellow Tenno!

Very true and most of the throwing weapons can do that to a group of enemies. You can dispatch quite a bit.

They don't need a buff. My Hikou at 15.5 a second, rip through everything in about 5 shots until around level 75.

[Dualstar]

Even Glaive Prime can dish out decent damage if its done up properly.

 

...only i wish you couldnt be staggered by gunfire while winding up for a throw.

[(PSN)The_Moustache]

The only problem with throwing weapons is that there isn't a Prime one yet.

Flux rifle, that's cute. You could probably do more damage to someone's eyes with a red dollar-store laser pointer than you can with the Spectra.

 

OT: I think that throwing weapons are fine. Remember, Despair was once considered one of the most overpowered weapons in the game, and it hasn't been nerfed at all since then. Say no to power creep.

 

I would like to see the separate gameplay niches of each thrown weapon return, though. Remember when "Despair does higher damage, but Kunai's 100% stagger can stunlock enemies" was actually a thing? Stuff like this from Damage 1.0 needs to make a comeback.
