Need Help With The Soma Prime

[VexisPhil]

Basically my Soma P has 4 forma where i added 2v's and 2 dash polarities while the soma p already has its 2v's

i have serration , heavy cal , Split chamber , Vital sense , point strike and 3 90% elementals

so ive been thinking , i have 4 alternative builds to this:

1.change 1 90% elemental to a hammershot

2.change 1 90% elemental to a fanged fusilade

3.change Heavy cal to fanged fusilade and change 1 90% elemental to hammer shot

4.change 2 90% elementals to a hammershot and fanged fusilade leaving only 1 elemental mod in the build

Im not a veteran ( mr10) to do the math and im confused of what formula's to calculate its burst dps and sustained dps so if anyone may help

p.s i dont have the simulacrum to test and i dont use warframe builder.

Fanged Fusillade is not worth using on the Soma Prime, at all. It increases damage by an equivalent amount to +60% elemental damage, without any extra benefits.

 

My personal suggestion is to drop Heavy Caliber for Shred. The increase in accuracy is very helpful, allowing you to get semi-reliable headshots for an extra 4x damage on crits, as well as punch through letting you hit multiple targets, vastly increasing the weapon's efficiency against crowds. If you consider headshots, +30% fire rate, and hitting multiple targets, you will regularly be dealing more damage than with Heavy Caliber, just not necessarily with the shown numbers being higher.

So what about Hamershot? would the increase of Crit Damage and that slight i crease in status greatly help it? removing lets say , cryo rounds for a hammershot be more beneficial?

Why not keeping your build?Thats the best one for the Soma prime.

Thats your and i think the best : http://goo.gl/VziV9Z

Are your mods maxed?When the stats are bugged on this side nothing changes.This build is the strongest.

Your build is the most powerful one but when you dont wanna hear destroy your build and have fun.

I have one alternative build for you when dps is the most important thing for you but you will get ammo problems. http://goo.gl/838FwE

WFBuilder considers critical multipliers and probabilities, that 200 Puncture is including crits.

 

 

So what about Hamershot? would the increase of Crit Damage and that slight i crease in status greatly help it? removing lets say , cryo rounds for a hammershot be more beneficial?

 

I'd say not, and I also consider the Soma series weapons as having poor Status chance.

 

 

My build is (though I have switched to different elements since):

Hi there, i run 8/10 HC to be able for sniping on longer distances. The essential mod i use is metal auger over 3rd element or shred, you get a nice punch through which helps you with ammo economy and you are able to clear more enemies with less ammo used when they run in a line or take cover behind walls, blunts etc.
