Azawarau Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Great video, but that's only under the assumption we all have seven Forma, max Serrations, and max Heavy Calibers on our builds. It's great use of game mechanics, but the Lanka needs to primarily remain as a sniper, not an AoE. It's main functions of high damage and wall-pierce need to be built upon and addressed before we take a look at status. 4 Forma on mine for the same effect and you dont need that may to do it Innate electicity lets it do that already Just throw on as many status and damage mods as you can and the rest work itself Gas build is handy for the Lanka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's Ogris if I want to decimate crowds. Still rooting for increased crit chance and damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still rooting for increased crit chance and damage. The ogris is a bad example It pretty much obsoletes everything that isnt the Ogris and is long overdue for a nerf Thatd be like saying bows are obsolete because of the ogris Oh hey thats conveniently related to the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Ogris is super strong and all, but it's not everyone's weapon. Some find it fun, others don't. I'm saying the Lanka's job is to act as a sniper, and if I wanted to utilize it as an AoE weapon, there are other weapons designed to take that role. Killing doesn't mean everything.

It has innate Electric damage that has an AoE that deals bonus AoE damage Id say it was designed just for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIDESTRE4M Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Lanka doesn't kill you. And sometimes I use a Sniper as assault rifle. xD This AOE-Build of Lanka... I don't like it. I've seen videos about it on youtube and I stick with my punch-through-spike-damage-wonder. It's sniper, not some AOE-dot rifle. If people still want it to use that way, they can, but please no balancing arround that. Edited July 19, 2014 by SIDESTRE4M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know The AoE build doesnt change that its a sniper and can snipe the exact same way and its damage is actually better when you take the status procs into consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaPsyCongaroo Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) No, Lanka is meant to be mastery fodder. this change would actually make the Lanka ..friggin awesome and then I would have to invest forma into it.

quietcanary Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I miss talking on this thread glad its bumped. Also how bout that vulkar? Besides the point I know but its like a handicapped child compared to the other 2 (or 3 but snipetrons sorta on par with it.) Lanka might be the hardest to use guns in the game and it should reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelter92 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Maybe in the future,they rework the lanka,and give it a new model,like the torid. (i have the snipertron vandal,so no other sniper for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightwire Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 +1 to this. Interesting changes.Such a drastic change, however, would have to bring about a drastic change to each sniper rifle so not to prompt a 'Lanka master race' argument. I love the X-Ray scope and the 100% charge hit-scan and autocharge mechanics. Actually I like them all. I hope this does get put into effect and when it does, they take a good long look at other snipers and try to bring each one of them their own little clever niche.Well written!

SIDESTRE4M Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Personally just a 50% base crit chance would be enough for me. I'm not saying those aren't nice ideas, and I would be fine with them more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could write more threads for every other sniper, but I feel the Lanka has the most potential due to its unique charge punch through mechanics.

Psychosist Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) What do you think about the recent buff, is it enough for all snipers in general? Quite frankly I dislike the recent buffs, a lot. Quoting from page eight of the thread: I am pretty upset and disappointed with the Sniper "buffs". You could have implemented better mechanics and made them unique but all we got were half-crapped damage buffs. Snipers still don't crit consistently (because hey, it's fun to do only 25% damage half the time) and still don't have an ounce of punch-through. Sorry DE, you went about this the wrong way. As one-shot weapons, snipers should have consistent damage (100% crit chance modded) and need punch-through to better deal with multiple enemies. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/256306-the-lanka-shouldnt-be-a-reskinned-bow/ Please just read that and understand that the Dread and Paris Prime still crap on all of your snipers. Please, DE, try again, and make things right. Edited August 9, 2014 by Psychosist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write more anyway, supported on the hitscan on full charge, auto-charge, x-ray scope, Hek - all suggestions :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
