Obviously it rewards condition stats more, but if what you're looking for is pure damage, I think a blowtorch to the enemy's face every so often is a DPS boost even for power builds. To run Sword+Pistol in a power setup, you're better off running Rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything , I expect Holo Leap to have it's damage reduced because people been crying about it critting too high in a 2s cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk.5460 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thematically I think the forge 3 and 5 should be changed to a holographic shield and rifle instead of (what looks like) a staff and a hammer. No functionality change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
