0 (PSN)abbacephas Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Lesion is another popular one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vyrn Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 While there isn't a clearly defined "best," I'd recommend giving Lesion a shot. It features high damage, high status chance, and good speed, and it gains additional attack speed and Toxin damage for a few seconds after it procs a status effect. That all along with its Slash-bias make it scale very well and open up a variety of status-oriented build options. Lesion's main downside, though, is its short range. It isn't terrible, but it's noticeably shorter than other polearms' ranges. Its poor crit stats (5%/2x) might also hamper a bit, but the weapon's strengths definitely outweigh its weaknesses.

0 rapt0rman Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Vaykor sydon is an excellent crit/status polearm, but the lack of slash doesn't help (doesn't matter if you're madura focus though) Edited June 17, 2017 by rapt0rman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Xzorn Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Lesion and Orthos. Lesion has better DPS through status and bleeds while Orthos can hit nearly twice the targets of any Polearm. If you're killing enemies under lvl 80 or unarmored ones I'd use Orthos. If you going higher in level I'd use Lesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Xiusa Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 If you like being a badass killing everything 10m away from you, keep using that Orthos Prime but stick a Primed Reach (non-primed works too) on it and you'll be loving it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (PSN)HSomDevil Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 If you like polearms try them all out but Orthos Prime is still the best by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
