Beggining Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Looking back at all the channeling melee mods, it occured to me that I've only ever used one channeling mod: Life Strike. Channeling, as a whole, doesn't seem to be very useful. It really doesn't help that melee has a lot of "must" mods like Body Count (which feels like a band-aid mod :v) So, does anyone use channeling mods? Maybe the new ones, like Dispatch Overdrive?

Nocam Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I haven't seen the new one you mentioned, but I'm debating a Channel build for my Dex Dakra, to help them deal with higher level enemies, since I love those swords. I got Efficiency down to a single bit of energy per hit. Coupled with energy Siphon and a large energy pool, I might be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synpai Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Nope~ only Life Strike. The movement speed is interesting....but.....not worth the slot unless you're raiding or speed running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)joshw1400 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I've only heard of life strike :P. Those mods have disappeared along with all the duplicate mods I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that channeling can help to give that extra damage. I guess I just can't wrap my head around using energy to increase melee damage instead of outright using your powrs (Not a melee main here :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyLagging Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) The only channeling mod that exists is Life Strike The rest are endo fodders until DE decides to do something about channeling Edited January 11, 2017 by TotallyLagging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shyguyk Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The movement speed on kill one is pretty interesting, other than that, only life strike. why? Multipliers on efficiency drop are too damn high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be Snarky all you want, I was merely pointing out that it's not a good idea if you;re trying to Desecrate. Snark not required, as I did not suggest that's all people run. Forgive me for offering some advice on channeling, since I have a Channel build I'm working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John89brensen Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I only use Life Strike, the other mods are useless. I miss the old moddable charge attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinthAria Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think I have Killing Blow and Corrupt Charge installed on my Synoid Heliocor, since it has a higher channeling multiplier than normal. Otherwise...not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though to be fair, Channeling does not completely deny you a corpse, the time window to desecrate channeled corpses is much smaller, but it's still there.

Alcatraz Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Actually yes I do use channeled mods. I don't care about what Dispatch Overdrive does, it increases movement speed but, it's a sacrifice in your overall damage you would be dealing. I like Scoliac because I channel it, and not use all those fancy acolyte mods that I have on like every critical chance melee over 10% https://goo.gl/vzUbNW Now this is purely for enjoyment, you can kill level 100 infested Ancients with this build within seconds, so it's really good against infested. And it's very fast, making it really fun. Edited January 11, 2017 by Alcatraz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multipliers on efficiency drop are too damn high. It's funny how my melee go-to frame - Valkyr - doesn't actually use Life Strike due to her having it innately. Assuming Overdrive work in Hysteria, I might fool around with that mod. 13 minutes ago, NinthAria said: I think I have Killing Blow and Corrupt Charge installed on my Synoid Heliocor, since it has a higher channeling multiplier than normal.

None that excel at channel in the form of better efficiency, and rarely any high in channel damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be fun. Channeling has always been a highly underutilized stat when it comes to differentiating weapons from one another. DE has started to scratch the surface a little bit recently with things like higher channeling multipliers or the cloning effect on the Synoid Heliocor, but there's still a lot they could do with it.

ThunderZsolt Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Primed killing blow would change a lot of things... But yeah, only life strike, and quickening on some builds (CL dagger, speeding up bladestorm animation) and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInaros Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I don't even use Life Strike unless it's necessary. If is not, I don't waste a slot with it, I put a dual stat mod or something in it's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
