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

4 通の返信My one rule, use the cannons first. A little piece of me dies inside when the team says we did shit damage and there are 2 cannons hovering in the centre....

3 通の返信Just wondering what type of sniper would be better. Something like Black Spindle or 1k stare? Sorry I'm just not sure. Don't wanna be the death of my team cuz I'm using the wrong sniper

1 返信At this point, dps shouldnt be an issue for anyone... As long as the cannons are used, and ppl are using more thrn just their primary, you'll finish him long before you run out of pillars.

7 通の返信Bump, I do this and people always start screaming to save cannons for last round of damage. Then when damage is over we have people still holding cannons with 2-4 rockets still in them, aka tons of wasted damage. I don't even argue with them anymore I just laugh and do it anyways, and end up with the most damage every time.

1 返信an engram full of beesにより編集済み: 10/20/2016 2:14:56 AMUsing cannons in phase 3 will still output a higher overall damage. The phases are shorter, but saving the cannons for the final phase means getting an extra 33,000 damage per shot (assuming someone uses a tether). If you fire all 9 shots while the tether is active, that's an extra 350,000 damage per cannon. In total, that's over a million extra damage you do if you save the cannons for phase 3. You should be able to fire off all your Sleeper Simulant ammo during Phases 1 and 2. It makes no sense to use the cannons before your heavy weapons.

I do not think it is really about what you are doing exactly it is just that you are putting in DPS non-stop. People tend to not shoot in till he pops up. I easily do just as much dmg as you are speaking of saving cannons in till then end. I shoot primary and and nades in till his head pops up. With this I still get all my sniper shots off, I tend to use razelighter more then sleeper though for the captains. Out side of that if you have a decent team that can supercharge every teleport it is best to use the cannons like you are saying at the beginning of each teleport with a tether each teleport as it would maximize you time to shoot sniper. TLDR: saving cannons or not depends on whether your team can supercharge to be able to have the tether each teleport.

4 通の返信What is your damage output with non canon shots OP? Any buffs applied? Buildout with subclass and gear? I am trying to see what tricks you are using to hit 5 million damage with this technique. Thanks.

3 通の返信The first time I did Aksis, my team said to hold off all cannons, tethers, bubbles, etc. On the last time we can empower him, for maximum damage. You're saying don't do that? I always thought it would be nice to just use the cannons for the first 2 times and maybe a couple snipers or spare rockets/sleeper shots. And use the lasts phase for the major damage. Would that be a decent strategy?

Think I like about the sword is that it can really help with captains if you need it suddenly, and the blocking stuff is always helpful in a tight situation. I've found success with the sword and I know others have found success with sleeper. Depends on the player more I feel

you cannot beat a cannon with weapons and another damage modifier.. that being said... I can usually get of 7 shots super easy on the 3 teleport... which means with the extra servitors in HM, it leaves me with the perfect amount. I usually use the scout or a sniper on the first two teleports unless hes close to me and then I use dark drinker.... and nades.. people always forget their nades...

1 返信My raid group tried the drop all cannons in the middle strat too. After the first try we did shit DPS because hardly anyone does big damage during his first 2 stuns. When I went against the group and we were shooting them at Aksis during the 1st 2 stuns our DPS was so much higher. During he first stun you can shoot him 3 times with charges. During the second you can empty your cannon and during DPS you'll have your secondary and heavy all ready to go while he's a sitting duck for much longer. TL;DR: I totally agree with the OP and without even using dark drinker we did more DPS when using the cannons before his 3rd stun.

3 通の返信Great tips. Only thing in my opinion I would change is using a triple tap sniper instead of event horizon. Or use the new raid sniper.

2 通の返信By the way crayon you might wanna add that while aksis is waiting to be slammed the red spot on his back can be crit shot and has a higher crit multiplier than his head. Can be sniper across map easily if you're standing on the boxes (left/right) only time he can't be is if he goes back mid

1 返信Raid noob question: Can the same damage be dealt to Aksis when he is kneeling after getting his back slammed (first, second time) in comparison to after he gets slammed a 3rd time and everyone yells DPS? From what I understand is the OP is shooting him with cannons the whole time he kneels after getting slammed.
