Rixuel Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 What's the best possible Amp combination from Scaffolds, Prisms, and Braces of all tiers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurea_Hiigara Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Probably the highest of each. That's usually how these things go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 the highest brace provides crit chance. I will use the heat sink scaffold and the shotgun amp for max spray in groups. I currently am using the sniper amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanIbiteU Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 For eidalon, crit, ammo/recharge and railgun beam secondary i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hixlysss Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Haven't gotten the highest tier yet, how ever I hear that the top tier is great vs the teralyst, not great against the voms. Near as I can understand, they aren't "tiers" just different styles. You have the first one, sniper, second is shotgun, third is grenade. Sniper is a good middle ground between taking out voms and the teralyst, with shotgun being more for the voms and grenade being more focused on the teralyst. In short, play what you want, there is no "best amp". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyus Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 No clue, but Grenade, Lasso and recharge is my goal amp. Seems to cover all the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acersecomic Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm using the Shotgun amp (Tier 2) with Recharge and Flak blast. Prism is really good for anything, it's like a mini-plasmor. The Flak (secondary fire) is a good crowdkiller for little sprites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything has pretty significantly noticeable strengths and weaknesses and they seem to be designing towards play style preference rather than "This is the best". Though I'd say the Sniper may be better for Vombas with their low health and ability to appear at range in the Eidolon fight and that the Shotgun is better all around weapon because one shot will hit the Teralyst multiple times and can hit multiple Vombas. Haven't used the Granade launcher yet, so can't comment on that personally. Edited October 20, 2017 by Ceryk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTrust Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) depends what you prefer, PRISM: Granmu prism :T3 pimary Grenade launcer has best crits and decent explosion so can trigger multiple hits (only one crit per grenade though) Shwaak prism :T2 pimary plasma shotgun with punch through so you can hit multiple spots on his body in one shot. Raplak :T1 primary sniper seems to be a bit on the weaker side (I don't personally own this one just conversation with people that do) SCAFFOLD: Klebrik scaffold: T3 altfire link aimbot. Very good for taking out vombalyst since you don't have to actually aim directly at them. about as strong or slightly weaker than default amp damage wise. Shraksun scaffold: T2 ?? not enough data to be conclusive above would love if someone could give me a rundown. Pencha scaffold : T1 0.8 second charge mini opticor version. BRACE t3 lohrin more crit chance (very little not worth it atm, but might possibly be bugged) t2 juttni faster recharge start for amp ammo (1 second instead of 2) t1 clapka extra ammo for amp (20 I believe) Edited October 20, 2017 by iTrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostLacuna Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 My plan is to build 2. one raplak sniper with pencha secondary opticor charge shot and juttni for faster charge. One shwaak plasma shotgun with shraksun secondary flak and lohrin for more crit(hope its bugged) I like to engage targets from afar so that will most likely be my default and the second version for elmo hunts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shraksun Scaffold is essentially a shorter range higher damage Aoe explosive Shwaak Prisim minus the Punchthrough and can cause self damage.

Valathreon Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Once I've got a good enough Lanka to go Teralyst hunting, my current planned build is like this. Note that I also have Madurai as my Focus school. Prism: Shwaak. Since with a Lanka I'm planning on being some distance away from the Teralyst, I'll only have to worry about Vomvalysts that might try to shoot me down. The shotgun-like mechanic of the Shwaak is perfect for that. Scaffold: Pencha. This is more of a fun-based choice on my part. It may take some practice to get used to it, but I feel that the Opticor-like function of this Scaffold is pretty powerful. Brace: For me it's either Juttni or Lohrin. On one hand, a reduced delay on recharging my energy pool is pretty useful, but recall that I use Madurai, whose passives both increase your Void Beam energy and the recharge rate (rate, not delay). Lohrin sounds useful because it can increase my crit chance, but I'm also not really planning on being up next to a Teralyst with a sniper, just keeping Vomvalysts away from me. TL;DR: Shwaak, Pencha, Juttni/Lohrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altre Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) I wonder how practical a crew of snipers would be. Would everyone be able to practically snipe in operator, then frame when shields are down? I feel like I'm not thinking about something...

Ryujin Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 well they all give mastery after you gild em so might as well craft them all. (pretty sure the prism type determines the mastery but don't hold me on that) I have all the amps and collected 9,000 mastery after gilding. Personal preference is shotgun prism, Sniper scaffold, and recharge brace (Crit chance brace is bugged doesn't do anything to my amp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using it. It's short-range AoE explosion of decent area of effect, can cause self-damage. Liking it a lot, can blow up a whole flock of vombalysts with one shot.

TheSteelRat Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I have no idea what "Raidens purple plasma laser" is But for me the Raplak Prism is rather disappointing. Low damage, and almost unforgiving in how small the beam is and the accuracy required. While the Pencha is a nice beasts to have when you need to deal out damage Really like hiding in void mode while it chated and "Decloaking" to dish out a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AandOE Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 On the subject of mastery points, it'd be nice if the Zaw tips and the Amp (parts that give mastery) were listed in the codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do 3-4 runs a night with a 2-man group, and we get brilliant shards each time. There's nothing that needs snipers that you can't do up close, and staying together means easier area looting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyLagging Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 From what I've seen T2/T3 prism, T1/T3 scaffold, whatever brace. Full T3 is good but if you don't like nades/weak auto aim lasers go with the T1/T2 parts T3 prism grenade does higher damage/shot to Teralysts but the mini-Plasmor is faster and can hit multiple times and also really good for clearing Voms. You're looking at 800-1200 damage on the Teralyst's shield if you aim at the right spot. Auto-aim scaffold is nice for clearing Voms but if you already have the T2 prism you probably want the T1 scaffold instead for fighting Teralysts. All of the braces are useless tbh. 20 energy is meh, 1s recharge delay is eh, 2% crit chance is just laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 Shraksun is easily highest dmg per energy point so far. If you get in close, you get a ~250 hit (when the missile strikes), followed by 2-3 AoE blasts @ 200 each. All of those get buffed by Volt Shield when they crit ... so I am usually seeing either one 1000+ (strike), or one 1600+ (AoE - no idea why it gets a double buff there ...) That means ~2K per 10 energy, and fire rate is excellent. That's with an "Ammo / Recharge" brace. Looking forward to a gilded Lohrin Brace + Arcane Strike - so far, it's doing 60K+ while levelling up in Akkad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emolition Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 My favorite is tier 2 prisma (shotgun), tier 1 scalfhold (opticor) , tier 2 brace for faster energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
