Aspari Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 An maxed ranked Focus Energy gives more electrical damage than almost two Shocking Touch mods put together. Focus Energy also costs less mod points. Shocking Touch has always been garbage, but it needs a major buff now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruispleuro Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Agreed... Even though it'd let us solo Ambulas and Nef Anyo even faster, but that's not much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Khaos Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Eh, I've already fused all my shocking touches into Focus Energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirshy Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Make it the same as Molten Impact, just for electric. You know, like the electric mod on every other weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoOz Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It's pointless to use it now with Focus Energy. Why they decided to make it 60% and Shocking Touch 30% is beyond me. Seems to me like it would make more sense to reverse that given the fact that Focus Energy is a dual stat mod and Shocking Touch isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sada_no_Fujin Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Agreed. the mod is now useless. I don't really understand why one the three elemants scale 90/60/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3Evanescence Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Hmm... I agree that Shocking Touch requires a serious buff. Currently, Focus Energy outclasses it in every aspect, be it Electrical Damage, Mod cost, having an extra effect.... I think Shocking Touch should be buffed to the same damage as Stormbringer and Convulsion. As for soloing bosses faster, remember, Flechette and Accelerated Blast stacks too. Blaze stacks with Point Blank and Incendiary Coat. Thus, I think buffing Shocking Touch to 90% Electrical damage at rank 5 is perfectly fine.

The real question is why they decided to *not* bump Shocking up to 15% per level a long &#! time ago XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaperAlien Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Shocking Touch just went from "the worst mod in the entire game" to "the worst mod in the entire game that is also 100% redundant". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyNerd Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 le bump, it's a rather illogical even if focus energy is rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
