Baro Ki'Teer 17/06/2016 and Primed Pressure Point [Megathread]

[(XBOX)C0gnitive 0n3]

I've been farming gold cores for the past 3 months and have used duplicates for newer mods. At writing, I have a little over 5200 + 147m credits. I think I'll be okay when this hits consoles.

Is this really necessary ?

I mean, the original thread was just "look at what baro brought us" and you merged threads that are talking about "how will this mod impact the changes to mandatory mods removal".

The first part is discussion, the second is rather feedback.

(Gotta love DE's "we won't answer to players" way to think.)

You clearly don't use melee very much. These numbers are extremely misleading and ignore the various multipliers that melee tends to get. I've done 2 hour melee-only T4 survivals, where I was still wrecking level 290+ bombards. Pretty sure the Sancti Tigris would have fallen completely off long before then.

I love people who make assumptions with 0 evidence, you're always wrong. It's pretty damn funny.

I use melee a ton, I just don't go for the Shadow Step/Crit weapon meta. I use the Kronen or the Twin Basolk or whatever else takes my fancy at the time. I play for fun, not for the optimal loadout.

2 things though:

1) Way way outside the realms of balanced content and therefore completely ridiculous trying to use it in a rational argument.

2) Only way to get that far is using certain melee weapons, since these certain melee weapons aren't representative of the entire class it's a moot point.

This is cool. Prime Pressure Point and Prime Fury almost released together, RIP my forma stash, hello stack of unranked weapon, meet affinity booster and cyath eris

It feels sloppy implemented and looks like a direct copy and paste of Primed Point Blank. Since they did the reduction of gain per rank before (Primed Pistol Gambit), they could've lowered the cost accordingly as quite a few pointed out already.. The argument you should just max it and forget about it is quite nonsensical since mods should reward players for ranking them up which isn't the case with this one up until R8.

Not even commenting on mandatory mods, all in all it's like a flashy move or something.

By the way, why is Primed Point Blank available again, like two weeks ago? Quite ironic in a way.

So now it's only matter of time until we see Primed hornet strike and Primed serration.

As the wiki says, the regular variant of Pressure Point increases by 20% per rank, max of 120% at rank 5. Primed versions of mods are increased by said mods stats. The primed pressure point is only at 165% max at rank 10, when it should be at least 220% as it's supposedly going off of the regular variants stats. But because it's 165% it's going off of the damaged variants stats. 

Does this mean that primed pressure point damaged then? If so, then why not say that rather than saying it's the primed version of the regular variant?

DE please, buff Primed Pressure Point, and don't make Primed Fury, a Primed Disappointment..

No, it was just altered to make it less overpowered, similar to Primed Pistol Gambit.

Pretty much.  You got it right on the first try.

[Lokime]

Well, at least now I'm gonna put all those R5 cores from sorties to use.

That is going to be +55% for sure. Nothing too OP, compared to Berserker's 75%

[Egg_Chen]

Only DE, after saying they want to remove flat damage mods and increase build diversity would do this, only DE :)

Is it April 1st?

Except that the scaling isn't consistent.

At rank 5, both Pressure Point mods should be providing the same damage boost...

Why?

And why does it matter?

Then complain about why primed pressure point only gives +45% more damage at max rank.

The standard of primed damage mods giving +165% is well set.  Point Blank, Heavy trauma, Heated Charge and so on.  The mod that is inconsistent is the normal pressure point, which by cost and ranking should top out at +90% (same as point blank).

Be happy that you've enjoyed an extra +30% for all these years and stop complaining that DE has FINALLY started to use some consistency with mods.

I guess they did the same here as they did with Primed Pistol Gambit that only gives 17% increase per rank instead of 20% like its regular version, to keep it at least a bit in check.

Also this image.

 

If you're planning on using the primed variant as a sub to mod later on, think again.

I thought the Devs said they weren't planning a first person feature, that Baroframe leak is good too.
