Are Torid And/or Spectra Worth Making?

[Aeshi]

Just learned that a couple of research weapons only need rank 4 to craft (I thought they all took rank 6 or 7), so I was wondering if either of the Rank 4 guns (Torid and Spectra) were worth making? I was considering making the Torid in particular because it's highly unlikely I'll ever get the rank 6 required for the Ogris. (plus I imagine a Cryo Torid + Snowglobe would make a good 'bubble of doom')

IMO torid is a great gun since they buffed (with a loki's decoy + 5 shots properly modded, it's a ton of armor ignoring damage, that infested run into to die from) Haven't tried the spectra, so no comment there.

Torid yes (for defense). Spectra no. From what I've seen, Spectra is bad at this moment. It's a weak flux rifle that runs out of ammo on the first ancient.

Torid all day, def and Mobdef are a piece of cake and you clear waves so fast it's hard to believe (Vortex helps too :) ).

 

Spectra is not worth it, imo, looking at all other non-mastery-rank-capped secondaries

Just want to say, you missed a few. The dera is mastery rank 4 as well and isn't all that bad if you like assault rifle type weapons. There also the ingis but it pretty much sucks at everything.

id build the flux rifle before the spectra...the spectra is basically a watered down flux rifle's r*****ed cousin...

 

torid is the best high wave defense gun in terms of dps next to the acrid...play the defensive with vauban/nyx and watch your enemies just tear up and die
