Endrance Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hey guys, I've always have problems on choosing a melee weapons, being for fast melee, or just squishing the brains out of those grineer body idiots, so i was thinking about making a topic with all or most of melee weapons, with a overall pros and cons. Like, good weapons to AoE, good weapons for fast paced hits, good for charge and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitfly Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Doesn't the wiki have all this info? Or do you want personal opinions / experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endrance Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Doesn't the wiki have all this info? Or do you want personal opinions / experience I was looking forward for a bit of personal opinions and experience. For example, on wiki they complain about Fang being bad vs infected, but when modded with a lvl 3+ fire it's quite nice, since the attack speed is insane and the fire does quadruple damage. I mean, you can decrease the disadvantage of a weapon quite easily with the correct mods. ATM i'm looking for a decent AoE to use with Ash when i get into Smoke Screen to get the most of the invisible critical chance, since i use Fang i mostly need to go 1 by 1. But for what i read in wikia, none is "worth" it, either too damn slow, or just don't surpass the Damage Output i make with fang, even going 1 by 1. Therefore, having personal opinions would make my life easier, and for those with the same problems, i can't just craft all weapons available to test them myself.

Bitfly Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Have you tried Dual Heat Swords? They sound fitting to what you want. Hits multiple enemies, good charge damage, decent attack speed (especially with fury). I could also work up a list like you wanted but I can't do it now. I also have 2 friends who likes Dual Zorens with ash's smoke screen Edited April 16, 2013 by Bitfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have 2 friends who likes Dual Zorens with ash's smoke screen I haven't been able to get the bloody Fury Mod, and wikia (that thing) says that DHS are hell slow, only good for charge attack. Dual Zoren look weird IMO, but if they are good or not, can't say, i got a friend with one, full reflect coil and he spams 2 charge every 1 sec, quite nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I charge or slide attack as I approach, use normal attacks often enough and charge attacks for PBAoE damage. Besides that they look cool :p But you're right, mostly charge attacks unless with Fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataeon Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 try those new dual ether. kinda nice melee weapon - good attack speed, nice damage + really effective against infected. Disadvantages: low AoE dmg and no polarity slots. And what we have here? Great weapon for fast paced hits! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davoodoo Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Dual ether. Most versatile, able to hit few enemies at same time, great against infested and grinner alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puritas Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Brokk hammer. It might swing slowly and do no damage, but at least you can color it to look like your genitals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lers Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Dual Ether and DHS. DE for basic attacks with Fury, DHS for charged attacks with Reflex Coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitfly Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Dual Ether and DHS. DE for basic attacks with Fury, DHS for charged attacks with Reflex Coil. Worth noting that Fury also makes charge attacks faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lers Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Worth noting that Fury also makes charge attacks faster Possibly, but to be honest i cant notice it on the DHS. The animation is fast enough so its a marginal gain, and i'm pretty sure it doesn't affect the charge speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratuitousLurking Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Duel Zorens are rather weak, but mother of heck that Crit Rate and Crit Damage. add in Fury and yer cleaving heads all day. Add in the Dagger Axe skin for them looks rather awesome. As much as I hate to reward Weapon-of-the-Month syndrome, I picked up a set of Duel Ethers and pretty satisfied with them (a tad slow but nothing Fury can't fix once I get some ranks on em). The ability to basically get bonus damage to all enemies is nice on melee, plus they're extremely mod friendly, kinda the Braton of swords.

Endrance Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 You guys are talking about Dual Ether Sword or Dual Ether Dagger? Just to make sure, so i don't craft the wrong one :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratuitousLurking Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 You guys are talking about Dual Ether Sword or Dual Ether Dagger? Just to make sure, so i don't craft the wrong one :p Duel Ether the swords. Ether Daggers would just be called Ether Daggers as far as I know ',' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lers Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Dual Ether Swords. Daggers are... well slower Fangs with more damage per hit...? Still trying to figure out how it's any better than a pair of Fangs. Edited April 16, 2013 by Lers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashx Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) I think they are talking about Dual Ether, not Ether Daggers. They are awesome D: and they look so cool! I find them much better than DHS. But then, that's only my opinion. Eventually, I do think that one way or another you'll end playing with most weapons just to level your mastery rank =).

Endrance Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 How good is Ash with Gram? Or any other Heavy melee? Worthless and not-so-good-combo, or it is a viable situation? I'll still make the Dual Ether, but was wondering. Furax is purely single target right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I love my dual Zoren. Spazzing out on huge packs of infected is very satisfying. That said I want a dual Manticore skin. Get on it devs! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyFitz Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The only situation where I found melee really usefull, doing something I wouldn't have been able to do with my Gorgon or a Shotgun, is when I'm stunlocked by rollers or infected. Jump attack with Fragor or Scindo, knock them all back... Well, hopefully. Assuming I don't get stunned again while in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasmir Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 God tier Melee weapons DHS: The Best Charge attack in game. Fang: The Best Dps Based Auto attack in game. Furax: Yes furax ! The Best Charge attack Dps in game Fragor: The Best CC Melee weapon in game. Dual Ether Swords: The Jack of All Tadres sword in game (Until the devs remove the armor ignoring effect, triple damage against infested and the x 3 damage in slide attacks) Special mention: Dual Zoren: The Best Critical Rate and damage weapon in game (The bread and butter for lokis/ashs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
