The fact they are reducing the benefits of strain reducers and SAW at same time is they want to level playing field at arkfalls. So careful about lauding the wolfhound as it could be next. Anything that stands above the rest is being squashed.
I will just swap back to a canker at crystals, I seemed to get about same damage using it as I do with outbreaker, and it doesn't need the mod to be full auto.
The threads on here talking about "how to come 1st in arkfalls" are their own worse enemy. Its clear they read what we say and people telling them what is best makes their work easier. They may just ignore some nerf threads.
I would like to think all weapons are useful, so hopefully they make the crappy ones better.
You are probably right Colif. After this nerf the canker will probably be better against the crystal.
I was going to say this that peoples habitual dicc measuring are the blame. Hell people literally telling people who complained about the volge being too tough are another reason why I feel the nerf is justified because wanna know what they told people? HERP A DERP I USE MAH TRUSTEH SAWS AND MOW THEM DOWN THEIR EAAAASY. Even with that being said if they do take a hit I honestly feel that bringing it all the way down is stupid as hell. Other lmg's need to be brought up around the saws level because as it stands lmg's should be able to mow things down. Maybe not like how they do now but a lmg should mow down trash mobs.
If the outcry justifies the nerf, then what about the outcry about RPGs and the Heavy Scattergun? That's being rolled back. They ****ed up, like they did before
The saw needs the nerf plain and simple.
If you look down deep and hard, this is nothing but true, and everyone knows it.
Yes, you could always buff the other LMG's, but all this does is effectively make 4 super weapons instead of 1 and now 90% of people in the game are only using LMG's. lol
The fact people are whining so much and even going so far as to say they are quitting or "this is the last straw" shows how bad of a crux it was. In deep shtako? Whip out the SAW and you're good. It was just way too effective for PvE in its current state.
Even with the damage nerf I guarantee you it will still be a great and viable weapon to use.
