1 leocww Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Orthos Prime for slash / range attack. Bo Prime for impact / status build. Just pick for different situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Coaa Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Orthos Prime + primed reach is an amazing combo. Its a very average weapon, good damage, ok crit, ok status but it's reach is so good and makes up for the mediocre stats. Yes you'll hit for less then other melee weapons, but you'll hit 10x the amount of enemies to compensate. Orthos prime with primed reach has absurd reach.

0 IceColdHawk Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 For Farming? Nekros avatar much? Definitely orthos prime. Cut enemies in half and desecrate twice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 i_Lex Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just now, Raizen. said: What you are meaning in 'Nekros avatar much?' your avatar (profile pic) is nekros. And bo prime is just for fun as the ether reaper is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Djolltax Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Whatever takes your fancy. Personally I prefer Orthos, but no weapons have a specific boost to the chance to drop anything. Just keep desecrating with Nekros and you'll do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lyravain Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Well, past the whole Nekros deals, Orthos is still better for a simple reason; Slash Damage. Dealing more damage against flesh, it tears down enemies pretty fast. While one could argue that the Impact damage would destroy shields faster and that Toxin Damage bypasses shields altogether, I find Orthos to be way more my style. Besides, it's a metal rod with two swords mounted on it. Coolness factor gives the victory to the spinning blades of doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArchPhaeton Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 For farming you will definitely prefer slashing weapons/anything that cuts dead bodies in two or more pieces, in this case Orthos P. which also has insane range. Personally my choice is flux rifle+orthos P, in low to mid levels the flux will cut thru everything like a hot knife on butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pick for different situation. Pretty much this. The only thing I can add is that the Bo Prime is impact damage so, if you want to build for status, something like a Serro might be better.
