unsiezer Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 So, I have to say I do quite like the Pox, but I noticed something weird that maybe someone can verify if this is intentional or not. so on my Pox I equip "hornet strike", "lethal torrent", and "barrel diffusion" giving me 70% status chance, but then when I add "Frost Bite" it goes to 90%(20% increase), and then when I add "Pistol Pestilence" it goes to 98%(8% increase). why is my second Elemental/status mod only increasing status chance by 8% rather than 20% like the previous? cause obviously if i only need 2 equip to get 100% status, i would much rather use the full elemental damage mods instead.

Achromatic. Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The spread for the Sarpa is way too random. It's a beautiful weapon but completely unreliable. I can understand wanting it to have a spread so it's not a complete upgrade over the Redeemer but the way it is now makes it completely invalid.

LuckyCharm Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I only have the sarpa, but I found it really lackluster. It's accuracy was really sub par and it felt like my charged shots were tickling the things I shot at rather than damage them. Stat wise it seems decent, but it's sorely lacking in punch compared to its redeemer counterpart. I feel it needs its stats tweaked to become a crit weapon, making it more viable as an option over the redeemer instead of trying to compete in the same space as it. Its sound is also way less impressive compared too so that's a thumbs no for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltocitygel Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Sarpa looks and feels awesome, but needs help. Other than its faster charge shot and burst of fire rather than all at once, it's practically identical to the redeemer with fewer pellets per shot, less damage per pellet, physical shots instead of elemental, and awful accuracy. Everything else about it is extremely well done, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyravain Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Pox needs a bit of work in the model; for some reason, I'm throwing them sideways rather than point first. Also, cut down on the smoke effect please. The Torrid was excellent on letting you know where the effect reached, but Mutalist Cernos and Pox are terrible at it. I want to know who I'm attacking, thank you. Beyond that;make the damage procs come a bit faster (if lower in intensity) -sometimes enemies just run through the cloud without being affected even once. Other than that; awesome weapon, loving it. Sarpa's good too, if different from Redeemer; better in blade-play than gun-play, except when taking on Nullifiers (in which case, it's MUCH better). Not gonna give up on my Redeemer, but it would have been a good alternative back when I first got Redeemer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhkNemet Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Having so much fun with the Pox. Just love the unique look, the weird way they fly lol Perfect for breaking door sensors and some crowd control. Having trouble with: - Visibility after they burst, the clouds are a fraction too dense and I can't see anything, but the mutalist cernos suffers from this too so at the moment, I just deal with it. - Shots passing through enemies, mostly at short range, it just goes right through them and I have to waste more shots repeating them. - Incredibly low ammo reserve, but ammo mutation is working ok for me at the moment (not sure how effective it will be at higher levels, I only just forma them first time yesterday). Sarpa I only used once so far, noticed the accuracy issues too. Gunblades aren't my kind of weapon, I'd prefer they fix the way you throw thrown melee, than use a gunblade. Edit: Have used the Sarpa a lot more since I made this post.. forgive the pun, but I'm having a blast with it. Works in tandem with pox really well. Still losing shots through enemies with the pox, but loving both weapons right now. Edited August 28, 2016 by AhkNemet Update Sarpa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikusias Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Sarpa: why it's a melee weapon?! why not making it in a dual use melee and (secondary or primary weapon)? as with the other gunblade i don't see the point of this weapon or its stance as is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only be used as a melee. If you're referring to the set, the redeemer forms a weapon set with the akjaguara and the Tigris. Because they're similar in design and stats doesn't make them the same weapon, because they aren't. I could see a set for the sarpa being released, and that would be cool. But switching it's slot? Never seen anything like it. Could be fun, but I doubt primary or secondary slots will ever hold anything but a primary or a secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)DomTheKilleur Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) I think the range and accuracy on the Sarpa needs to be increased. Maybe base damage increased a little bit too. Oh and idk if I'm the only one but I find it hard to aim the weapon (when firing) with a controller. I can see it work well with mouse and keyboard but with controller I struggle to keep the crosshair on the target.

Larry_Foulke Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Sapra needs an accuracy and range increase ASAP, combos with bullet dance just do not hit most of the time even at close ranges, Even using High Noon, the accuracy is still not enough. When will we ever see a buff to status is what i'm wondering when using the Pox, sure its ability to remove armor is pretty good, status weapons should have their own kind of " higher damage crit chance " for high status weapons.

Oh, and letting powers not deactivate on metamorphosis (instead transforming too) would be overpowered for Equinox. Also, having half of her kit useless and her other half cheesie is being in a good stop. Also, Diwata is still crap. Also, Titania still demands both Primed Flow and Energy Overflow to be efficient enough. Also, Beam weapons on Magnetize went from being broken OP to broken UP. Archwing still doesn't have controllable roll. But hey, our feedback is totally listened to. Totally. Listened. To. But hey, what do I know. Im no programmer. I just play the game. A lot.

Shy0 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 i guess we're using this thread for syndicate weapons too? vaykor sydon is gimmicky. 15 blocks is a bit much against slow-attacking enemies like bombards, and those are the guys we really need to blind. also, the blind animation is kinda slow and we have to release block to do it, so it is practically useless. synoid heliocor is just bad. worse stats than normal heliocor and useless ability. telos boltace has some use i guess. having to keep sliding around is dumb though when there are so many other weapons like orthos prime, mios and whips with decent reach already. rakta dark dagger is a straight upgrade of the dark dagger and is awesome aside from the basic problems with dagger class weapons i.e. tiny reach which is so dumb you can't even hit crawlers right in front of you.

With melee auto-targeting turned on, you automatically target the nearest enemy with the charge attack. The sarpa will still almost always miss.

Fansay Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The pox were really cool. Like a Torid but in the secondary slot. The Sarpa was also kinda cool, but stats wise just a buffed Redeemer. The charge attack is different. But after reading the wiki and doing tesing, they both fire 10 pellets/shots (just mildly different firing mechanism) but of a different damage type. According to wiki Sarpa does 35 per pellet, redeemer 30. This feels like power creep. Nothing wrong with that. But it feels like a missed opportunity when you create a new Gunblade melee which is just Redemer x1.1 A gunblade with lower damage and crit? High status chance and a sweeping, firing charge attack (to spread status)? Something which doesn't just feel like a reskinned, buffed Redeemer would have been more interesting.

Hexeract Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) So... is anyone going to talk about how the Sarpa is heavly bugged while using the Bullet Dance stance? ... No? Ok then, just going to leave these links here... Well... hope you guys get around to fixing it eventually... I know you have your hands busy with the whole Second Dream thing. (ps. If you change the Sarpa so it only has a vertical recoil it might fix the whole accuracy complaints that people have been talking about... at least while keeping it a mid-ranged weapon.)

But imo the gunblades don't translate very well on controllers because we aim with the right stick while we use the B button for charged shots. I only got one right thumb DE lol. Maybe if gunblades charge attack would be moved to the right trigger? Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
