DPS on WM

[DSW]

Bought it during the extra life event. Bought a set for each character I have.
A regular thunder will work fine. I prefer the thunder because it's more accurate though a good saw would work too.

i switched to purple quichshot blaster for this, and the only shortcoming so far is 250 ammo in your backpack.

Sorry, but just because it's been done doesn't mean it's efficient or that using those weapons makes sense in most situations at Major Arkbreaks. For that to happen almost everyone has to be using explosive damage to bypass the armor, and for explosive damage to otherwise contribute efficiently in large group that's breaking the armor there needs to be enough players that are efficient at breaking the armor and enough players that are using explosive damage to do significant damage to health before the armor breaks like in the first Xbox kill video posted in this forum.

Even though I believe players when they say it's been done without breaking the armor, I've never read anyone mentioning how many players were needed to do it or how fast it can be done. In the aforementioned video there's a little over 30 seconds left and there was some heavy hitting going on with Wolfhounds and other high crit DPS weapons with a full group of 24 players. If you can take down the Warmaster with only 8 players like PC EU does or take him down with over 2 minutes to spare in a larger group then perhaps an argument can be made that the method is as efficient and reliable.

Regardless, if you're one of only a half a dozen or fewer players in a group of 20-24 players using explosive damage at a Major Arkbreak, you're simply inflating your score with no correlation to how much you're helping the group to kill the Warmaster, and more often than not that's how it breaks down in PUGs on PC NA. If the OP were in a group or clan that's coordinated well enough to employ a successful bypass armor strategy it's somewhat improbable that he would be posting here asking for guidance on what kind of numbers he should be pulling down for a Warmaster kill.

And if you get 20 guys doing a million dmg each he gets beat. Those stats have been posted on here and if I'm using a ground pounder/saw combo and getting over a million then I'm contributing to the kill.
You guys need to get off your elitist high horses.

i hope u're using GP after his armor breaks?

Sorry but I'm fed up with misleading posts like this, you can beat him without breaking the crystals, it's been done.

Guys whatever you use you have to get about 1 mill dmg. Then you may see some more ojs in your back packs.

I don't want to get into another back and forward with people but Bentu i agree with you, i'm not saying Deunan is wrong at all, i'm just saying there's more than one way to skin a cat so to speak..

"Our way or the high way" is a little misleading, many weapons work and work well.

I use the GP while he's on the ground and moving, I use the Saw when he's hanging and when he's stationery with armour broken and I can get on his right hand side.

People who post on how to beat WM need to realise that not everyone has double or treble crit wolfies or similar ordinance.

I hit a new personal best yesterday with a Blue SS-2 and an orange Springer. The only issue is the rewards seem to be completely borked as my dad would say. I keep getting junk Disruptors from the WM. I also swapped from the Surge Bolter to that Blue SS-2 that only had ammo rolls and now I levelled up enough to use a legendary one with extra crit and base damage so maybe 1.6m a go could get closer to 2m!

Also the teamwork of players around is improving. It's good when people are on the same wavelength.

I use a purple VBI Assault rifle with radiation and a blue wolfhound(6.4 crit). If the armor doesn't get broken my damage is horrible 400k-500k, but if the armor is broken I'm in the 1mill - 2mill range.

I've been looking at all kinds different weapons for breaking the armor faster and will give the accelerated surge a try today. Before you laugh think about the charge weapon buff recently handed out and try one at your next arkfall. It charges faster than the surge bolter and does very high damage if you're within falloff range and fully charged.

edit: the gun is called Accelerated Surge I thought it was Surge Blaster

Hit 2.2 mil yesterday, FRC Assault carbine and a Wolfhound.

I think one other person may have been doing Bullet DMG, so we actually broke the crystal soonish. Makes it hard when you cant see his arm half the time due to Volge crap and GP

Wish I could play with more like you. Need more SMG, LMG and AR DMG so we can actually break the crystal.

I've been in some horrible War Master runs. I can tell within the first 45 seconds if the armor is going to come off. Just count the number of blue cold fire weapon users and if you see more than 5 it's a loss so pull out whatever weapon you need to level up at that point.
