Now with gas damage fixed, are are status builds still viable for melee weapons, or is raw damage more preferable?
I've been thinking about using a viral build and primed mods against grineer/corpus/infected, but no matter how I mix them I can't really come up with a solid reason to use my melee over my primaries now. For weapons I was using a mixture between Ohma, Atterax, and Secura Lecta.
Any thoughts from fellow Tenno after the fix?
edit: I understand that the stealth mechanic was changed so that it now functions as intended, but my original question is whether this means primaries are utterly superior to melee weapons now. My post was not meant to whine about a "nerf," but ask about meta-builds with regards to the concurrent status quo for weapons. My apologies for any misunderstandings that came out of my poor wording.
