A few tips to improve your DPS at Aksis
Im in no way saying that Im the best at DPS. That being said, in EVERY group I join, I always double everyone elses damage. I have 4-5 million damage every run. Thats half of Aksis' total health. Everyone is capable of doing what I do. Its not that Im so good at what I do... its that everyone else is just not doing all the right actions at the right time.
Gear used:
>ex machina from the raid
>dark drinker
>sniper reload gauntlets
Every LFG group always says "drop the cannons in the middle for phase 3". Thats the first thing being done wrong. When Aksis is waiting to be stunned, he cannot be critted easily. This means sleeper/snipers are almost useless. The cannon, however, can be used for 100% damage. I can usually get off 2 or 3 cannon shots (130-200k damage) while anyone not using a cannon does 0 damage during this time.
After Aksis can be critted, I drop the cannon and start firing sleeper shots at him until he teleports again. While he is teleporting, i pick the cannon up to fire another 3 shots into him before his head is showing. And repeat. By the end phase, I always have all my ammo burned except for my sniper. I finish off by firing sniper shots at him until its time to stand on the pillar.
A few additional things to note:
You can fire cannon shots at aksis as you move from one side to the next to cover empowerment
Dark drinker is more dps than sleeper but it isnt always worth having to move across the map to damage him. You lose precious damage time

Just use void sword, tether, and bubble killed him in two goes on hard.

Also swords like the Dark Drinker can do some serious work, but my group who beat HM only had one sword per side so we can kill Captains fast. It does great DPS on Aksis in the final phase. Honestly haven't tried Sleeper in this fight haha, just been using my Outbreak. Good guide though!

Thank you so much for this

1 ReplyJust curious but is outbreak Prime a decent gun for this fight? I almost feel like the raid scout would be better because of triple tap

1 ReplyTime to actually get sleeper now...

4 RepliesI use a lot of what you do, but using the cannons bare (no weapons or tether) is a waste. Now if there is a tether and a bubble, by all means. Now I'm not saying you aren't on to something there. Every raid team I have been in, has never even fired a shot at him until he jumps up and is able to be hit with crits. That's the real take away here, hit him as soon as he teleports. Use grenades and what ever you have, don't worry about the crits until he stands up. I'll put money on you getting that high of a score only because you probably use two of the canons all to your self. If you only picked up one, and the same one every time, you wouldn't have such a huge deficit. Basiclly what I am saying, is that only one other person in each of your raid teams can match that score, and they would need to be just as wasteful as you are. Also as a side note, My normal raid team can kill aksis in two damage phases. It's called team work

2 Replies7 cannon shots X 3 Cannons X 5 phases = 105 shots total Average cannon dmg w/ various buffs = 100,000 dmg 10,500,000 damage.... in just cannons alone... 500,000 Damage from other sources... Why not just use cannons? You can almost completely ignore the first two teleports and just dump on 3rd each time...

10 RepliesI heard that outbreak prime does more DPS than anything

19 RepliesFYI, Black Spindle is the most effective weapon other than Dark Drinker.

3 RepliesRaze lighter should be higher dps than dark drinker, unless they buffed it and I didn't notice
-
Edited by Craa'yon, The Carnivorous: 10/18/2016 10:34:21 PMI do raid shepas and whenever I do I just tell everyone not to touch the cannons and I basicslly take down 1/3 of his health by myself.

4 RepliesRaze lighter does more dps on aksis... [spoiler]except it doesn't cause DD hits multiple legs...[/spoiler] [spoiler]now what bitch[/spoiler]

12 RepliesBest tip is to slam the open vent before u slam aksis to refill ur super. If u do it right u can have 4 celestial nighthawk shots a round
-
Good tips :) thank ye
-
5 RepliesMost people wait for the last teleport to use the cannons because they can benefit from WoL and tether.

1 ReplyIf you've watched Slayerage do his three man aksis kill at 360 light; he does exactly what you've said. Cannons first then snipers and always throw your grenades. Especially if you've got DOT ones

1 ReplyYoo that's my dude right here spitting knowledge on yall.

3 RepliesPretty sure cannons crit on his head tho. But ya you cant even use all shots on the dps phase anyways.

20 RepliesI don't let my fire team know, I just take all 3 cannons for myself when they aren't paying attention. ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]

6 RepliesThere is an opportunity cost involved with shooting cannons before a fully buffed 3rd damage round. My experience has been I can get 7 shots off during the final damage round, maybe 8 if I am on point. I can do 125k damage with a fully buffed cannon (Weapons of Light plus Tether), so over 7 shots (usually need 2 tethers consecutively) I can do about 875k damage with just cannons, plus whatever I do during the first two damage phases. If you are taking cannons for your own use and firing more than 2 shots before a fully buffed phase you are taking potential damage off the table from the fully buffed 3rd damage phase. It's great you are getting about 200k from three cannon shots but the third shot could be doing 125k on its own with a competent group. What we like to do is put up the weapons bubble (bastion/illuminated) during the 2nd damage phase and then take 2 shots per cannon to register 100k damage (no tether unless we plan on supercharging) It's great that you are taking the cannon and padding your own Damage output but you are robbing the group of a lot more damage output overall. Only caveat is if your team is incompetent and leaves shots in the cannon behind, then your method is marginally better.

12 RepliesMax DPS = 3 Titans 3 hunters = 2 bubble, 1 melting point, 2 golden gun, 1 tether. 5 dark drinkers. 1 Bubble Titan shoots all cannons each round only during weapons of light and melting point. 3rd round has 2 golden guns, tether, melting point, bubble beside aksis with 5 dark drinkers hammering him. All subject to change depending if aksis gains a melee during hard mode..lol. Obviously if you create plenty of orbs you may can golden gun him every round.

3 RepliesI think it's best to save cannons for final dps phase when there is weapons of light and a tether

3 RepliesEdited by theraggededge1: 10/18/2016 6:20:41 PMI hope you meant 130-200k total for those 3. I am a higher light level than you and with teether and WoL I pull 117000 per hit with a scoorch, 69000 without. Edit Also all canons to center is right. Your highest light should be the only one using them. If you have multiple over 380 then they can. This way works and we can beat him with a pillar left easily.

1 ReplyDark drinker does higher damage than sleeper. Don't know if it alone beats sleeper+ sniper though
