AOE Weapons - RIP Crit Builds?

[(PSN)lhbuch]

Hello friends,

 

after the removal of auto headshots on AOE weapons, did you change your crit build for a elemental damage build? 

A Simulor can still headshot placing the shots above enemies head, a Tonkor with its accuracy makes it more difficult, but how about Staticor for instance?

 

Tks for feedback.

Well, I run an adarza kavat as companion, so ANY weapon is a crit weapon, crit dmg mods are basically mandatory for me. Was still proccing argon scope on tonkor a lot fairly recently though, so I'd say unchanged for me.

I don't use AoE weapons that often, but I'd still maintain a crit build on my Tonkor, because even without that headshot multiplier, crit will still out-perform a pure elemental build on it.

 

Edit: I didn't change my Staticor at all with the headshot nerf, it's always been a no-crit status build for me.

I am using Tonkor with Argon Scope. Hitting those headshots might be hard at first but you get used to it. It procs a lot less for me though.

Tonkor and Penta are able to proc Argon Scope because the grenade does Piercing Damage on first impact before exploding.

I like the Secura Penta due to manual detonation.  Head shots all the time.

Tks for the replies. What about the Staticor?

Static or like tonkor is harder but still does get head shots
