I just cant decide, I want to build only one as they are both quite expensive to build and both are the same weapon style so it seems pointless farming for both, but which should I get?

Mios:

  1. Looks badass
  2. Has A great balance of damage, crit and attack speed as well as descent status.

Lacera:

  1. Highest status chance, IN THE GAME.

I usually like to get weapons mainly based on their uniqueness so lacera would seem like the right choice but then mios looks better and looks abit less painful to fight with due to having a half descent attack speed. Can anyone help?

I'll go with the Mios. It has high status chance, decent damage, decent stats overal really and you can use mods like berserker on it. While the lacera has the highest status out of all melees (the miter and tysis have a 50% status chance while the lacera has a 45% status chance) it is really slow and it's slow crit chance makes it useless as a crit weapon.

The Lacera and the Mios do share equal damage, but with the base damage of the Lacera being electricity, you don't have to do through procing IPS to get to the more useful elemental statuses. The Lacera also has a 45% base status chance, further reinforcing the players to go with a status build. 

The Mios does have a nice base attack speed with a critical chance where using a crit build (Or at least just berserker) would be profitable, but the Lacera lacks in both areas.

Looking at both weapons, most people would pick the Mios over the Lacera because of the faults in the stats it has... unless you have this mod...

This event mod coupled with Berserker really helps out with this weapon. So much to the point that I actually like using the Lacera over a lot of other melee weapons, including the Mios. I didn't like it too much when it was released because of the attack speed, now that isn't a problem.

With the insanely fast attack speed (As along as you slide attack once in a while), the capability for it to have 100% status chance (Or close to it anyways), it having a base elemental damage type, which makes it great for corrosive builds (It stripps SO much armor), makes it an incredible weapon.

But it's all up to you. You may like the Mios over the Lacera or vice versa.

Doesn't it just add the percentage of the crit to the base crit chance (so the lacera has a 2.5 crit chance and slide attacking with this gives it a 4.75% crit chance or does it just add on so it becomes 92.5% crit chance? I dunno how maiming strike works XD)

I don't really know how it mingles with the weapons crit chance, but it doesn't really matter when it usually crits all the time. AFAIK, it just ignores it.

Edit: From the wiki: 

  • Maiming Strike will grant a flat 90% chance to deal critical hits, in addition to the weapon's (modded) critical chance.

So it'll make the lacera' crit chance 92.5% on slide attacks, awesome :D

Lacera applies impressive amounts of Elemental Status.
however i'd probably go with Mios most of the time as Slash Status is nice too, plus Crits on all attacks and Et Cetera.

Maiming Strike adds a Flat Value.
+90 Crit on Slide Attack.

oh, someone else pressed post first. w/e.

Sorry, but i will never accept basolks :D. Excuse me for that but i really dislike this weapon and maiming strike is better used for my lovely orthos prime than on this.

But i know what you have meant ^^

Ohh....so you're one of those people...Well then twin basolks surely is go....BOLTACE. Aww too bad :D

@OP - I personally prefer lacera for good status procing for armor shredding capabilities and more badass looking in my eyes. Mios is quite faster but lacera does more awesome hits...also primed fury will be getable soon so, lacera probably will lose it's disadvantage.

Let me say it differently, I like the polearms, but it's the stances I don't like.

I love me some Sydon :P
