Is the Blast just there for sweet ragdolls? I thought it was considered pretty bad as far as damage types go.

Mostly yes, but with 82% status chance it's also great crowd control because anything that isn't killed outright is getting knocked down.

Also blast isn't really that bad, it doesn't have any huge penalties but it doesn't have any bonuses either except vs Ancients.

I finally tried out the auro-upgrading feature and it's nice, I guess, to know I was modding this as optimally as the game thinks I should.
Except it keep wanting to put Steel Fiber on everything. Bitch, I play Nyx, what good is 17 armor going to do me?? Instead I can slot vitality and have a shot of surviving when my shields get lasered from across the room.

Sub-100% crit rate, not worth using.

Here's the issue: as a bow, it's a weapon that relies on accurate, relatively slow single shots. Yes, I see that third-of-a-second charge rate, but the arrow travel time makes spamming unfeasible except at close range, plus it's not a true semi-auto trigger no matter how fast it charges.

So, given that single shots matter, what does the unreliability of the crit chance do to it? Any time you don't get a crit, you're doing less than a fifth of your optimal damage with that arrow. Sure, you stand a good chance of at least one of your two multishotted arrows critting, but that's something like a 24% chance of at least one of them not critting and doing poo poo damage. Also, since rifle multishot doesn't go to 100%, you stand a very small chance of only getting one arrow and it not critting.


The same rationale applied to the concept of sniper weapons also applies to bows: in this game, no matter how much damage a weapon like this does, you're going to be lagging way behind the guys who mow down whole crowds at once with automatics and punch-through shotguns, what redeems this class of weapon is the ability to reliably oneshot dangerous enemies like heavies.

Granted, thanks to the charge speed on this thing failing to oneshot a heavy isn't that much of a practical issue, since you can just draw again in no time. But it is a 'feel' issue- on hitscan automatics, an unreliable crit chance makes very little difference to the weapon's handling, because the volume of fire immediately smooths things out into a statistically average damage over time. With this bow, you're going to notice if it shoots a dud.


I guess what I'm saying is, it may be fine for anyone who's willing to put up with bullshit for the sake of statistically higher damage on average, but I'm not that big of a optimal-sperg myself and I wouldn't really recommend it as a good-feeling weapon.

In my experience it felt like it was picking the stuff I slotted most on other frames/weapons/etc. Either way, it's still slotting mods with no regard for what they actually do, so it's useless.

It's probably due to faster charge rate. Dread requires Speed Trigger/Vile Acceleration while R Cernos doesn't. However if you want to see sweet crit damage then Dread still wins.

Also it's not like you're going to spam arrows nonestop as it takes time to aim anyway.

The autopicker picking the same things I do is a good thing on most frames because that gets me Redirection/Vitality/Streamline/etc slotted immediately. Everything else it puts on is nonsense though.

Normally I'd agree with you, but for all it's awkwardness this thing is theorycrafting as better than a brakk, without the range limitations.

How does it stand as a slower, much stronger Latron that requires you lead your shots?

I suppose you're right though; it's not really competing with the Dread.

For what it's worth, you can get guaranteed crits with Critical Delay and still have it charge faster than a Dread, plus the projectile speed seems to be higher.

You can get 104.3% crit chance with both Critical Delay and Point Strike. So yes you can get red crit but you won't see it much. However you're going to sacrifice RoF by 72%

I am actually taking a liking to the synoid simulor, you can create insane moshpits if you put radiation on it.

Also I know Gas is kinda poo poo against most things, but tempted to put it on it just for the aoe procs in a sustained aoe moshpit.

My Brakk generally isn't quite as good as my Hek or Sobek, so maybe that's not the best comparison :v:

Cryophage posted:

That's what I was thinking about when I mentioned semi-auto triggers. Thing is, the Latron series can be spammed at long ranges with little effort; hell, you can put an autofire macro on and have a highly accurate automatic. I mean, I'm aware that I'm conjecturing here since I don't actually have a Rakta Cernos to test, but there's no way you're going to get even close to that volume of accurate fire. I kinda doubt the overall 'feel' will be comparable between the two.



Neo_Crimson posted:

Now this I didn't consider.

Since bows suffer twice the penalty from negative fire rate as well as twice the benefit from RoF buffs, I don't think you'll be able to get away with no +fire rate mods. However, a Rakta Cernos with Critical Delay and Speed Trigger is going to be faster than a Dread with Speed Trigger.

So I guess you're looking at a faster charge and 25% more base damage than a Dread, plus a syndicate proc, at the cost of one less slot to use for elementals (and no red crits, if that matters to you). Hmm, might be alright.

Vaykor Hek is superior in DPS, by 10% if you max out Primed Ravage. You give up non-crit damage and the wall-of-projectiles effect, however.
Telos Boltor is inferior in dps and the projectile is slower than Boltor Prime.
Sancti Tigris is a straight upgrade to the regular Tigris.

Pretty sure it fires a 2-stack ball with Split Chamber on, instead of firing 2 1-stack balls. Dunno if they fuse up to a 3-stack or a 4-stack ball, though.
