Seer Sucks.

[Kachocalvo]

Problem for me - accuracy.

 

I took the Seer to lvl30 just because I liked its looks and the effect of shots. But its accuracy is plain horrible. I leveled it against Infested, and even when the Ancients were only a few steps away (so travel time was not ans issue) and stunned or slowed by ice, I could not be sure where was the shot to land. The amount of life taken by each shot was totally different, one could be a hard punch while next was just a caress when shooting carefully to the same point (compensating recoil and aiming again before second shot).

 

Then I compared it with my old Lex and (today) with Vasto, so I could be sure the problem was not my aim. And I got consistent damage outputs of them, so it was not me but the Seer.

 

You will hit, but you can't be sure where. But when it gets to hit where you're aiming, it's a hell of a gun.

That's it. Captain Vor is using hackz.

I use Corrosive Projection and can kill trash mobs in one headshot up to about lvl 65 or so. CP is a must if you want to use this gun.

So it's still not good. You just have a good aura slotted.

Bump.

I really like the seer, it's been really good for me, but: sometimes at Really Short ranges the shot flies off to the side, really annoying when that happens.

Of course Seer sucks.

 

It doesn't have an Armor Ignoring property.

 

As much as I hate to say things like that, it is true.

 

We already have our "Best" weapons in-game, and those are going to be what people use, other than fishing for mastery points. The Vasto is a very good example of that -- awesome weapon, awesome feel........but useless in practice.

The gun off the first boss isn't very good? Neither is the sword...

lol it is better than the Lex.

 

If it weren't for the armor problem, the Seer would actually be a good sniper pistol.

The Seer needs a little innate puncture (enough to get through the big shields of the Grineer-shieldguy) and a small (like 1m) AoE, thus being able to hit the same target in multiple spots.

Actually AoE in this game only affects Torsoes. AOE would make the Seer bad.

Cronus is a single, guaranteed drop.  Seer is three random drops that you actually have to work for.  Not exactly a valid comparison.
