(PSN)mmcareen Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I love my amprex, always have, damage wise though, its not a good weapon. Hasn't been for a long time. Having the lowest base damage of all weapons, with only a 2x crit multiplier, with horrible ammo usage. so I got a suggest for a buff. nothing to extra but would make the good very usable again Base Elemental Damage would be increased 7.5 to 10-15 Crit Multiplier would be increased from 2.0 to 2.5 Magazine Size would be increased from 100 to 150, Total ammo staying the same Fire Rate would be decreased from 20 rounds a second to 15 rounds a second Reason behind this stats, is I have a riven mod for it, and even with a damage and elemental riven mod, this weapon still is horrible. increasing its damage, even to only something like 10, along with the crit multiplier increase will make this a would make this gun a mob killer but not enough that its OP and doesn't run out of ammo within 15 seconds. Very usable in late game Edited January 6, 2017 by (PS4)mmcareen Changed some values due to feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiraHagane Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 so, what you're saying is we should make one of the best crowd clearing weapons have twice the fire time between reloads and triple the dps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickshotMcGee Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Amprex is an amazing gun, what are you even talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bipp Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) It's also got the highest base crit chance (tied with 3? others) at 50%. And as far as I understand continuous weapons, the damage dealt per unit of ammo is grouped together and dealt at different intervals. 7.5 x 20 is 150. It's basically only 25% weaker than the Dread. The gun is fine. Edited January 3, 2017 by Keybopsef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not taking the increased crit damage multiplier into account, which boosts it to 4.5x damage. And no, a buff of this scale would make this weapon broken as all hell.

Synpai Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The issue is your Riven. The gun itself doesn't need a buff. Yes damage is good (in general), but because Rivens are percentage based you need to shoot for a non damage increase since it's super low on the Amprex.

I am taking the crit multiplier into account, but they also said lowering the fire rate, which reduces the dps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean it sits at 3 x 1.5 x 0.75 = 3.375 times the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)lhbuch Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Amprex was godly before the continuous weapon nerf. One click and you could wipe a room. Cant remember the exact numbers but after this " rework", the first tick of damage happens on 1/10th of a second and then every 1/3 second after the first tick. This is why an automatic weapon which can spit LOTS of bullets in this same time or a shotgun which spits HUGE damage bullets in a fraction feel much more powerful. This explains the following: 1) Your feeling that Amprex needs 3X the damage. It is still really powerful, but you need some way to replenish ammo and need those headshots. The balance factor DE used for some weapons were ammo usage, which can be seem in weapons like amprex and Syn Gammacor 2) The number of threads where people just reply that continuous weapons are bad for status: an auto fire weapon with much less status chance has a lot more chances per second to proc a status. 3) Some continuous weapons feel like putting a tiny hole in a plastic bag with water: You can continuously wet enemies face.

(PSN)GallonOfSkimMilk Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'd like to see a really really small buff to its base damage, but your buff would probably make it the best gun in the game by a mile. The riven I have on mine has crit chance and base damage and I'm able to kill level 100 enemies just fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermitore Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The Amprex needs a handling buff. There is nothing wrong with it statistically, but it just feels very subdued. The damage numbers are good, but you 'feel' nothing while firing. It could do with something more flashy, more screen shake or something among those lines, to kind of underline that you're doing red crits and stuff.

Coaa Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Amprex was crazy good before, throw in a crit/critdmg/+dmg or multi riven and it's just crazy levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methanoid Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 dont think the amprex needs any kind of damage buff, using nova, even with a low damage amprex, mines a bog standard crit build equipped with sinister reach and combustion beam, 2 element combo and that seems to work wonders even with low damage with nova. dont think all wpns need to do insane dmg, just some weird funky quirks come in handy on some frames, same applies to other weapon/frame combos.

Insizer Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Considering the Amprex crits like a mofo and chains, a base damage increase of that much will make this broken as hell. Heck it alone could give Mirage+SySim a run for its money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)mmcareen Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 My riven mod is damage and a element, good but could be better. Even with that, it wouldn't last long in endless, and that's more of what I was thinking it for. After reading everyones comments, I still think it needs a buff, maybe not as much as I suggested, but still even a little would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, mine is multi-forma'd to 125% Crit chance and a much higher Crit damage. Make sure you mod it for damage type based on your enemy. I ran the Corpus Sorties with mine yesterday using a magnetic/toxin/Crit build and I was red-critting all over the place. Not only was my Toxin bypassing shields, but my Magnetic was stripping them so OTHER squad mates could damage them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
