XxMAGGOTxX Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Is it just me, or is the only benefit the mag capacity and reserve ammo? I mean the little tiny bit of extra damage doesn't make a difference really. I'm just a little underwhelmed by it. I don't want Soma and Soma Prime to have as much of a gap as Boltor and Boltor Prime, or a gap at all, but I was hoping to see some crit damage increase. Oh well.

Imaru Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 When you factor in Crits, the additional damage that seems minimal becomes massive, because you're critting on almost every shot and getting more than 3 times the total damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Decreased spool up time and a large status buff too. Edited December 24, 2014 by ValhaHazred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firetempest Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) As a crit weapon, the little bit of damage boost is exceptional percentage wise. its mag cap means less to no reload in a large wave, more time criting, higher dps. Its just flat out better as a prime and is in a pretty good spot. Edited December 24, 2014 by Firetempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kracken Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 20% of buffed base dmg is for you only " little bit" ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbister Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Tiny buff?... do you even maths?... 2 is the 20% of 10 (regular soma's damage) that's quite a big buff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxMAGGOTxX Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yes, I can do simple addition and percentages like most regular, functional human beings. Now yes, it's a bit underwhelming to me. That's just me. Yeah, the status is nice but I would've liked to see some fabled red crits. I agree 100% with CalypsoGaming's review of the Soma Prime.

Pandoran_Stallion Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I would've taken 5% more crit chance for the sake of consistency on the Soma Prime and only 1 damage, put into Puncture. It would've been a little better for endgame. Nevertheless, the Soma Prime is fine where it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good weapon, no doubt about that, but to me it just feels too much like Soma 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruglov Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 >Yes I can do my own math >I formed my opinion based on some youtube review :( Best post in the thread. Also where do these people get off, asking for the most powerful assault rifle in the game, with the biggest mag size, to get even MORE buffs. How do people with this thought process type this out and not chuckle at the absurdity of their own posts? How do they remember to breathe?

Tymerc Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) This is my Soma Prime build. It does pretty darn well, if I do say so myself. http://warframe-builder.com/Primary_Weapons/Builder/Soma_prime/t_30_22203220_132-6-5-134-5-5-137-1-10-140-0-5-150-2-10-153-7-3-159-3-5-361-4-5_140-5-137-7-150-8-159-9-361-6-134-6-132-8-153-9/en/2-0-65/0 Here's another picture.

It was merely cited to just say, "Hey, I'm not the only one who was expecting more." Seems everyone in the forum just disagrees and jumps to things out of spite. Good job sir, and good luck out there. Oh and just an edit. My bad then, shoulda known you were bright enough to read my mind, O powerful and spiteful god.

RSITH Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Well Soma Prime is slightly better than Soma only by a slight buff in dmg and Ammo capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealPandemonium Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Well Soma Prime is slightly better than Soma only by a slight buff in dmg and Ammo capacity. 20% is not slight and double ammo capacity combined with no spinup time makes it way stronger.

On topic: i think that an enhanced version of a weapon that was already considered op, it must be op as well... and as it has been enhanced it's op+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyv001 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The additional 2 damage boosts my normal soma build by an additional 8k dps, so. The damage bonuses aren't as minuscule as they may seem - heck, my soma prime build beats out my boltor prime build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
