Xiusa Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Me. Essentially doubles your damage without any mods at a low energy cost. Goes well with Rage and any sort of heal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade343 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Channelling for damage, a few counters with blocking, and cleaning up corpses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7grims Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Just like kubrows, archwing, and some other washy washy features, I used channeling once or twice when it came out, and never again. No amount of efficiency will make it worth consuming energy with melee, when you can save it for big and useful abilities.

Cursor Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I really don't like the visuals of the elemental effects because generally I can't get them to work in a color scheme I want, so I usually mod for channeling (mostly because there aren't many other options).

Odadda Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Too costy for too little gain; there are dozens on things that drains your energy in-game, I don't think I need another one (with the exception of Life Strike) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maguscreed Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I hardly equip melee as my current weapon, thus using channeling doesn't really come up much. Not to mention it disentigrates corpses which will make things harder on nekros if you're using him or brought one along. I when I'm not leveling something I mostly just use my old Orthos Prime with primed reach on it. Nice wide range and murders pretty much everything when doing quick spins.

Cursor Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Berserker for the win buddy..... turn off the elemental effects.... wait when did they add that feature???? Also, I still don't mind channeling, it looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayGideon1 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I do, why wouldnt you? its 1.5 at base and with killing blow its double damage essentially. and with focus energy the energy cost isnt bad and i've never had an issue with energy or running out of energy, and with most builds abilities are pretty cheap so its not like its a huge issue when channeling and casting abilities. it think channeling is amazing really and do so all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If I am playing a melee setup, then I channel frequently, mostly for lifestrike, but also to boost my blocking power and or damage. The system could definitely use some upgrades though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I used to include Reflex Coil in my builds for essentially permanent channeling, but then I realized that I would still often run out of energy (even on Rage builds) because I don't get hit often enough. And in the event that I did get hit (e.g. by a knockdown or a Nullifier or something), I died a lot because Reflex Coil reduced the weapon's damage too much to recover health at a decent rate. Not fun. So I just swapped out RC for something else and only channel when I need to. Much more energy-efficient this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirshy Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Pretty streaks to help people follow me in Derelict runs and playing in elevators as they move. But also for Quickening before I get a few Zerker stacks, for extra strength coptering (with Quickening), and when I'm stuck in melee with a heavy eximus. I do normally run Energy Siphon, if that helps your argument any (kinda does). Edited April 16, 2015 by TheBlueJelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MixterFox Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I suppose it could be ok if you're rift assassining but I havent tired it, otherwise its only for lifestrike on valkyr. But again I really only use melee for coptering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1738 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) i only use it occasionally, if not for life strike. Edited April 16, 2015 by Eric1738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autongnosis Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Depends on the weapon. Tonbo, Kronen an Dex Dakra i use as quick melee weapons so i channel very rarely. Scindo Prime w Tempp Royale and Dakra Prime w Crimson Dervish are my "equipped melees" meaning that i usually equip them when i want to melee stuff and so on those i channel quite a bit more, depending on the situation. Dakra more than Scindo because i LOVE Nyx's Immortal Skin channeling effect. Edited April 16, 2015 by Autongnosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile23 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I do use channeling when I am using Loki or Ash with Redeemer, but usually only against heavies over level 40. Otherwise no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
