Should I build Broken War?

[Kebast]

I have Galatine Prime, Orthos Prime, Lesion built pretty well. Any need for Broken War?

[LupisV0lk]

Yes.

[CupcakesMoo]

If you can build it go ahead and build it. Might as well have everything.

[(PSN)thefallenloser]

One of the best longswords in the game.

no matter what you're going to have a long haul to Craft both War and Broken War - whichever you're more likely to use i guess. building the other of the two will take just as long(ETA: forever) no matter which one you Craft first.

I only have Iron Phoenix. Is there a better stance?

I'd go with the one you can get from the plains, twirling spire I think.

You mean swooping falcon?

Swooping falcon is awesome! And yes, Lucacee is right.

Cool, picked up that stance pretty cheap. Thanks :)

It's never about need. Do you want it for any reason at all then build it.

[CodeCypher]

Why would you build it if you can get it for free (+catalyst +slot) after completing a certain quest later? Also, how will you get Broken War blueprint? Assuming you haven't finished another certain quest already.

[jsnforce]

Build anything and everything. If it isn't good to use, it's MR fodder.

Prime Weapons are always the endgame/stronger than the rest but if you like collecting rare things like that and making mastery ranks easier then build it

That is not true, actually. Some prime weapons are absolute garbage, and some non-prime weapons are absolute god tier. Right now the Broken War outclasses every single shortsword in the game including the Dakra Prime (though some Zaw swords outclass it).

He probably spent his free Broken War on building War

I assume he hasn't obtained Broken War at all. Though it's unusual if he's MR 13++ (Galatine Prime req) and hasn't finished the quest. Well, not that it really matters, just curious.

[ZeyhmaniBormahu]

For the mastery sure but every weapon worth a try later you can decide keeping it or sell it after max it. I personally would make and keep that weapon because it is a fair weapon.

 Sorry, I should have given more detail. Yes, I've finished the quest and got the free broken war. Mostly asking if I should bother collecting the optimal mods for it and hang onto it. 

I've maxed it now, but don't have the couple of prime mods that I normally see in builds for it. It does pretty well with drifting contact. I like the speed vs Galatine P, but the damage is quite a bit less. It seems on par with Orthos P though.

And I pulled War BP tonight :)

You know what's stupid? That broken war has a blueprint. I mean, who makes a blueprint to build something that is broken?

What does the instructions even say? Build War. Then Break it. Done.

Okay, short rant is over.

Better than the state it was previously, aka War required Broken War to build, and Broken War required War to build. Though even now, it's still a mess, yes.

<Sigh> this was to make the players happy... Before, there was the broken war, which was a quest item, and the BPs for war (required broken war) and the BP for broken war (required war). People complained they could only have one and not both without buying the stalker pack (with the armor and stuff).

 

So now we make broken war from scratch, and use it to make war...

I get that. I have no problem with it from a gameplay perspective. I'm just saying that logically, it makes no sense, since the way to make, say, a broken bottle, would obviously be to have a bottle and then break it.
