No reason to use a kinetic now…buff please
Kinetic weapons hit like a 2 yo kid now. Why keep tinkering with something that didn’t need fixing. To do most activities you gotta run double specials. Bungie you give us cool kinetics to play with but they are ineffective even in mildly challenging content. SMH.

I'd argue kinetics are the best weapons ATM. Malfeasance. Outbreak. Touch of malice. Izanagi. Witherhoard. The new trace rifle.

2 RepliesMy Malfeasance would like to have a word.

how bout just phasing out kinetics already instead of bending over backwards to keep them relevant -
Edited by NightSkull720: 6/29/2024 2:16:28 AM[quote]To do most activities you gotta run double specials.[/quote] What activities are you referring to? Because based on your recent activities, you’ve been doing strikes and gambit, which doesn’t require double special…..like at all?

1 ReplyLmao seriously? They didn’t touch the damage bonus kinetic weapons get against most enemies. They only lost the 15% bonus damage on boss combatants. Every red-bar, major, and mini-boss is still taking that 15%. So any power decreases versus them is purely your perception. And kinetic weapons also benefit from surges if your super matches a surge. Kinetic weapons are still very solid. They have the damage, but fewer have AoE tools that elemental weapons feature.
-
Well what they did was make everything tankier and improve their resistance. For everything they do "for the player" they go back on it and screw us over, as usual.

Kinetics charge your transcendence faster , there's that -
Yeeeeeeah, even more useless now if you don't use prismatic, literally no benefit if you have a better strand/ stasis weapon.
-
5 RepliesJust add 5% critical hit damage vs combatants to kinetic weapons that excludes exotics. Problem fixed. Its not rocket science Bungie.
-
2 RepliesActually they have a pretty good buff on them in Nightfall. Kinetic weapons are buffed if you're using a super that matches the surge. I just did the Nightfalls this week with Midnight Coup with kinetic tremors and it really hit hard.

4 RepliesEdited by RAVEN: 6/27/2024 8:23:15 PMUse damage perks and surge mods to overcome such problems. Besides, if your super matches the surges on some content, your Kinect weapon will have that increase 25% damage.
-
Okay, double specials... Are you saying primaries are useless? I have a kinetic shotgun, and a kinetic auto-450 that's GREAT! My basic setup does double special, but once I get into anything outside of vanguard ops or freeroam I put my primaries on.
-
8 RepliesYou should be running 2 specials 24/7 anyways lol
-
Only kinetic I use is Microcosm at the moment, not on higher tier activities
-
Oh, we're back to this again. 😒

2 RepliesEdited by eliteg: 6/28/2024 1:59:27 AMI don't know I love my Kinetic Tremors weps (especially Blast Furnace KT + Frenzy).. I think basically no hope to get that to drop from Onslaught now but Battle Scar at Banshee rolls KT and is very very good too. Randy's has it, Buzzard, Tigerspite. I thought it would do something special with Chromatic Fire.. but I don't know that exotic seems a dud to me.

Gotta say, most everything in every slot is kinda weak against GMs. This pertains to players comp quite a bit under the power cap, as of yet. They still get it done but it takes a pretty good effort.

2 RepliesEdited by FluffyReven: 6/27/2024 11:58:26 PMKinetic weapons deal more damage than elemental weapons, offering a 10-15% damage buff for better DPS rotations. Mar 15, 2024. Edit, it was changed with TFS so now a kinetic and energy weapon deal the same amount of damage if same type of weapon, so a kinetic sniper and energy sniper will both deal the same damage.
