SirGhosty Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Does anyone feel like the old alert swords are just not what they use to be? I remember seeing a dark or plasma sword was like spotting a unicorn, but now they are treated like trash barely used or even mentioned and not just the dark and plasma but the pangolion and jaw sword are also lackluster. What do you guys think DE can do to buff them? Not just increased damage but something to validate them being alert exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdart Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Make the Plasma Sword not a slow piece of garbage for one thing. Anyway, they will never validate these alert exclusive items. They will always be worthless mastery rank fodder, only there for newer players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transmorphic_Wyvern Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 pangolin sword has a status chance of 12%! The Jaw sword has high puncture damage compared to most swords! The dark sword deals radiation damage and toxic on the jump attack! The plasma sword deals electric damage! I'm a captain obvious wannabe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tehnoobshow Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Pangolin Sword has 100% slash proc on slam attacks. Dark Sword/Dagger have 100% toxin proc on slam attacks. (not radiation, it's actually the Ether Sword that has radiation proc) Jaw Sword has a really big slam attack knockdown radius. Heat Sword/Dagger have 100% fire proc on slam attacks. Plasma Sword has 100% electric proc on slam attacks. Ceramic Dagger is the fastest single dagger weapon. Basically, the Alert weapons all have gimmicks attached to them to make up for being really weak. pangolin sword has a status chance of 12%!

Archistopheles Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I can still kill level 40 enemies with them. I don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Strifedecer Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I agree, all alert weapons are moderately good, but turn out as Mastery Fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanjuju Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 They're slow, short, weak. They need thrusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatchias Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I had gotten the Plasma Sword a while back and built it thinking I'd gotten something really good, but when I went into a mission with it I realized its actually pretty terrible aside from the gimmick. Seriously swinging that thing is so slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how Pangolin Sword's special thing is just a damage over time proc. Anyway it's all irrelevant because everyone should use weapons with good coptering.
