Despair for Despair

[RRRIV]

can we buff these throwing knives back into relevency? 2.5 status and crit for mediocre damage and STILL has a 1.5x multiplier? i know rivens are supposed to bring these weapons back, but 200% on any of these wont even help it.

Spira prime is where it's at, granted I've always liked the stalker weapons more.

Despair is an old and forgotten weapon with outdated stats. And it has very low drop chance. Even some veterans can't get it. Considering the drop chance, it really should have better performance.

Maybe give it high status chance and change primary damage type to slash(we already have 6 puncture throwing weapons).

The other 2 OG Stalker weapons are slash weapons, might as well for Despair.  But yea these old weapons need to be tweaked to keep them up to date.

A weapon should not be allowed to have low crit AND status (<= 15%), it just can't compete without one of these, unless it has massive overabundance of damage, which they don't. 

While we're at it, would be good if DE could tweak the old weapons as well, Lato, Lato Prime, Sicarus, Kraken, etc.

That would be fun and unique.

They could also go with a gimmic build, remove status chance, 2.5% crit chance with x6 crit damage and add in a forced random status proc to each shot. This makes the weapon a status monster with a low chance to obliterate anything.

oh so this weapon is one to Keep. Just got it a couple of days ago. Wasnt too eager to build them or Play them at all though. Its one of those weapons that you Level up to 30 and they'll get dusty in the inventory.

Well they're mastery rank 0 so I guess they won't be getting a buff. They're just very hard to acquire mastery fodder.

That's ... huh?

Dread is MR0 and it's (AFAIK) always been awesome,
e.g. Lex Prime (also MR0) got a huge buff at one point.

Despair is a very rare drop, having it offer something over other weapons would only be fair
(I still very much like the high-status Slash suggestion).
