Maybe this true, maybe it isn''t, but... does Vex Mythoclast outclass the Palindrome?

It might not matter since it was a match of Mayhem Rumble, but when I went in there on my Titan to grab my Age of Triumph package for the week I noticed that practically everyone I had matchmade with was using a Palindrome. The map itself was Rusted Lands. I grabbed the Mythcolast from the vault earlier just because I figured it would be fun to use (much like in the same way I had during the Mayhem-based Iron Banner). However, in this instance I was a little skeptical that I wouldn't do too well without a ranged primary on my side. My Titan was on point the entire match. I had the first blood kill, when I shoulder charged someone closing in on me. Someone took me out when the heavy came up, but then I killed that person with my Mythoclast, even after they tried and failed to shoot a rocket at me. I think there might've been a voidwalker in there, but was rarely taken out by super kills for the most part. Mostly a bladedancer kept sticking me with grenades a number of times. I smashed and I burned people to death with the Mythcolast. I even grabbed both heavy containers at one point when I noticed no one had gotten the other heavy yet. At the end of the match I was on top with the most kills and the highest k/d. While supers may take precedence over weapon-based slaughter, not even with mainly everyone else packing Palindromes could they eliminate the one person not outfitted with a "meta" setup.

  • You were in a low skill lobby apparently. Mythoclast is trash. If you do well with it, it's because your opponents are underperforming.

    • Vex CAN outclass the Palindrome. Its optimal TTK is very good at 0.80 (better than the Pali) and that TTK goes under 0.65 if you use Linear Comp. Now, here's the snag: 1) The optimal TTK can only be hit by hitting all crit shots. 2) Vex kicks like a bull, even with the highest stability you can have on it. 3) It's not hitscan and is very prone to the same inconsistencies that make fusion rifles annoying as hell to use. Still a solid, fun-to-use gun (I ponied up with Vex-Defiance of Yasmin as my usual Rift loadout a couple months ago before special went bye bye) but it's just too inconsistent to make me want to use it on any consistent basis.

    • Every other player could be using Gjallerhorn as their primary. If they they suck you could still kill them with Imprecation.
