SnoWidget Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Currently the mod count for the four elements is Fire mods Primary-3 Pistol-2 Melee-2 Cold mods Primary-1 Pistol-2 Melee-1 Toxin mods Primary-2 Pistol-2 Melee-2 Electric mods Primary-2 Pistol-2 Melee-3 Do we really need all these fire mods when really the only good combination for it is radiation?(And blast for Penta)
BrotherIcarus Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Because we have to "BURN THEM OUT"! Also there is hardly a huge disparity between fire mods and the others. There should be more cold mods honestly.
tveeggad Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 ... when really the only good combination for it is radiation?(And blast for Penta) Come on, concrete, let's keep to the forum rules this time... Yes. We need more fire.
Churpy Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I believe that the reason is: "The game is incomplete".
at35z Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I have Gas and Blast on all of my weapons! Some just want to watch the world burn.
CBAROG Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) We need them to be able to "Kill it with fire". By "it" I mean Alad Edited June 22, 2014 by CBAROG
ProfessorRobledo Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Fire doesn't really have more mods than any others besides Cold (which, based on the current trend, will receive dual stat mods during the next major event), so I don't really see your point, especially when you consider that they're making a whole set of dual stat mods for every element.
Laecerelius Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Once the cold dual stat mods come out then poison will be the only element that doesn't have 3 mods on one of the weapon types. Fire doesn't seem like it has that many more mods than the other elements, it's just on a slot that has two weapon types that they had to make mods for. Even then it has a whole one more mod than ice and electricity. Not that big of a deal.
Palor0 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 We all know the cold mods are the next event mod award, just wait.
mistopportunity Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 the only good combination for it is radiation Well out of the 2 Radiation is better for different things.. But overall both are pretty good.. And blast damage isn't just for the penta..
SnoWidget Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 I guess my point is I'd rather much see fire mods get better element combinations if DE wants to throw 3 of them at us when said 3 will only come in handy in 1 build.
Llyssa Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Regular old fire by itself is DoT plus stun when it procs. I'm glad to have all the fire mods I can get my hands on. Don't complain.
Tarille Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Uhh... There really isn't that many more Fire mods than other types... Only additional Fire mods for a weapon are Wildfire (Magazine capacity + Fire damage) and Blaze (Base damage + Fire Damage) Only type that's really different is Cold, which will be fixed with the next set of dual stat mods. As far as Heat damage goes... It's one of the most neutral single elements (Only negative is against the rare Proto Shields. It even gets bonus to all Grineer and Infested to boot) Radiation is one of the most sought after damage types because of the main targets in Grineer having Alloy armour (Bombards, Napalms, Eviscerators and Elite Lancers) Gas completely wrecks Infested. Weakest Heat based damage type is Blast, but even then it's a really useful CC proc (AoE knockdown) and has no downsides when not facing Grineer (Heck, high level Grineer makes the Ferrite armour that it's weak against much rarer than at low levels) Edited June 22, 2014 by Tarille
billthebetta Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Once the Ice dual stat mods are realeased, all the elements wil have some sort of 2-3-2 count. Except for Poison... Tenno'd by Laecerelius... and this is why you read threads before you post kids. Edited June 22, 2014 by billthebetta

Tenno'd by Laecerelius... and this is why you read threads before you post kids. Toxic is already 2-2-2-2, across the board. Also, it's the most popular pre-installed type(there's no less than 8 weapons and 1 frame that can inherently use it, and that 1 frame can inherently use it on every single weapon!)
rapt0rman Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Basically what everyone is trying to say is, the current number of fire mods is a complete non-issue, and also you're totally selling short the usefulness of fire damage and it's combined elements.
Guest Shibboleet Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Fire by itself is one of the better elements, idk what you mean.
Kaokasalis Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Gas is also a good combo that uses fire and is the primary one that should be used against infested. Fossilized takes bonus damage from blast damage but is resistant too radiation while sinew is opposite of fossilized. What we need at the momentt is more cold damage mods but they will come with a new event.
DecapitatingJim Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Because "Kill it, kill it with fire!" Has such a lovely ring to it.
Etsoree Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Radiation is HORRIBLE. Do Corrosive and Fire, that way you can kill big things easily, and most everything else is vulnerable to Fire.
DecapitatingJim Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Radiation is HORRIBLE. Do Corrosive and Fire, that way you can kill big things easily, and most everything else is vulnerable to Fire. Radiation is very effective against Grineer heavies, which are one of the worst scaling enemies, armor and life wise. I personally use Corrosive and cold though.

And have you heard of gas? Ever try gas electric builds? This better be a joke thread Edited June 22, 2014 by Azawarau
MrJxt Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Radiation is HORRIBLE. High lvl napalms and bombards will laugh at your pitiful damage.

I personally use Corrosive and cold though. High lvl napalms and bombards will laugh at your pitiful damage. Corrosive is still better; I have no problems 1-shotting level 50s. I don't bother going higher to see if it is still effective since it takes so long to get that high.
-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Because... Everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
