Actually I think even the devs consider Blades somewhat underperforming and unsatisfying to use. They said they're looking into them. Personally I don't like how they're poo poo before you get your Chi Blade up, after which they start performing as well as the other weapons.

The very comprehensive DPS mechanics guide on Reddit has a good breakdown of the various issues surrounding each weapon. The primary problem with Blades is that while they are competitive damage-wise with the other weapons, they require a full 30 seconds or so of melee uptime on the boss to get to that point. Obviously fights are a little more mobile than that and boss mechanics ensure you won't get that amount of free time to sidle right up to a big bad, so Blades struggle to hit their potential output.

UrbanLabyrinth posted:But actually getting that gear is a relatively involved process. You can't buy oranges. You can't even buy purples directly. You have to buy caches, buy purples with those, then grind those into purples. I could've sworn last time I looked it was possible to spend aurum on things in the fusion tab to bump up pips and item level color along with converting aurum to marks for anything else so other than money, it would be the time spent levelling the items up.

You still have to get things to level 30. I don't think even most whales are buying the items that up your pips. Those things are like $25, it's almost certainly cheaper to just exchange aurum for MoFs and just buying them outright. edit: Amante posted:Nah, it's "just" $20. theflyingorc fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Aug 8, 2017 |

It's bad enough that people are whaling their way to yellow items - if it was five bucks to upgrade poo poo it might be even worse. Although I guess you'd assume people whaling would just spend the money upfront on three dot items so perhaps making the upgrade item attainable to lower players may be nice. Regarding paying for purples, remember that while you can buy catalysts that count as one leveled purple, you still have to get one item up to 30 purple so there's a lot of lockbox opening going on.

Pretty sure it's prohibitively high on purpose - making the cost reasonable would crater the 3-pip market on the AH. I mean, it's up to you whether that's good or bad.

Honestly, each day I log in and check the exchange to see the price drop further puts a smile on my face since I've got ARG weapons on each of my roster that I need to upgrade to 3 pips along with wanting to go on a mad clothing buying spree across the board. Haven't even started looking at what's buyable for sprints and pets yet. If the price drops to 100 or lower, I likely will liquidate all my marks for aurum since it's easy to recoup marks.

Ah sorry thought you were in the "this is a bad thing" camp since the Discord gives off that vibe. I don't see any real problem with prices across the board lowering but apparently things dropping in price is a bad thing? If aurum drops to 100 you're looking at each weapon bag being worth approximately two aurum and since I get weapons faster than I can auction them off that works out pretty okay

I've been noticing that for my hammer/blade alt. I've got blood, pistols, elemental, fist and chaos left from my ARG items, anything in particular stand out for a hammer primary who's mainly going to be casual tanking for a group of buddies not aiming for the endgame stuff? I don't think there's anything I *need*, particularly since we'll be taking 4-5 people into places built for 3, I just want to avoid anything that takes a lot of bar investment (like how blade has a separate button to forge the thing, or assault rifle needs a grenade outlet) and if it adds something interesting to my arsenal that's a bonus.

Blade is fun but the window for activating chi is pretty short, so making the most of it in fights with a lot of ground effects can be a real pain. Doesn't matter so much if you're tanking, but as DPS it can be a problem. What's aggravating the issue is that blade doesn't have much in the way of burst damage that can be deployed while the buff is active. Dancing blade does decent damage, but it's channeled, so again, an issue in fights requiring lots of mobility.
