Bolt-Caster 2.0 is a pretty sick weapon but the distanced heavy attack is trash compared to black talon and normal sword heavy attacks AND it uses 8 AMMO like come on I understand bungie doesn't want people ALWAYS playing it safe at a distance for endgame activities but they shouldn't have needed snipers so hard and they shouldn't have made this sword have trash DPS. Also buff snipers for pve. sword/shotty DPS is just as valid as sniper/grenade launcher DMG

2 RepliesAre you making sure to cast the heavy attack at full sword energy? 🤔 I learned that fact the hard way when I kept casting tiny discs that did squat all only to realize it don't work like it did in D1. At least the sword is legendary instead of exotic; that's a massive silver lining. 🙂

Edited by High Noon at Jötunn Saloon: 7/4/2020 10:48:01 PMI would currently never use it in PVE because of the asinine cost of the R2. 8 ammo? Really? Lol....no.

6 RepliesIt’s alright with vorpal. But guillotine is way better.

2 RepliesI definitely agree that it needs some sort of buff since currently it does less damage than Falling Guillotine and costs double the ammo for a heavy attack. I'd settle for them making the heavy attack cost 4 ammo instead of 8.
-
Just reduce the cost of the heavy attack to 3 or 4 ammo.

10 RepliesIt’s an exact replica of bolt caster. When they first came out, boltcaster did as much damage as dark drinker and the realized that was a huge mistake. It’s supposed to be weaker. I’m already running grandmaster nightfalls this season, dark drinker after stunning or breaking champions. If we could do that at range, safely, the challenging modes would suddenly be a cake walk. If you run the sword mod for charged with light, you can get boltcaster to deal more damage than dark drinker. But people don’t seem to know that mod exists

1 ReplyTemptations hook, a legendary sword, should not ever be on par with Black Talon, an exotic sword.
-
It’s supposed to less damage. It has range and is a legendary. Why would it be as good or better than black talon or a close range sword?
-
That’s the trade off. You get to hit from a range, but it does less damage and takes lots of ammo.
-
Thats kind of the trade off... Lower damage for a ranged attack.

Edited by Swiftchao: 7/5/2020 12:20:33 PMIt should have a guaranteed stun on any enemy and 4 ammo for the charged heavy attacks and since were on the topic of swords I feel that the spin attack should cost more so that there is actually a choice between the uppercut and spin
-
Stuns the enemies also nice continued DMG and depends on the roll

1 Replydepends on roll

I know your post means well 😓, but how bungie shows love to other weapons is by nerfing the players fav or most used weapons

1 ReplyIt's not supposed to be as good as an exotic :/
-
1 ReplyIt SHOULD be inferior to Black Talon. It is an Exotic after all 😐.
-
1 ReplyThe heavy attack does feel very weak. It feels like more of a pvp weapon, and even there it's inconsistent as the projectile doesn't one-shot on direct hits.
-
Should probably cut the cost of a heavy in half. And if further action is necessary, probably speed up the recharge rate
-
It just needs to have the charged attack cost 4 instead of 8

14 RepliesIt uses 8 ammo for 2 swings worth of damage. Very poor damage for 8 ammo.
