Midas Multi-tool for PvE?
Need some advice, I play mainly PvE and don't play enough so strange coins are still very valuable to me.
Is the Midas worth buying for mainly PvE? I keep hearing the nerf really messed it up in PvE.. The added agility seems really enticing as I enjoy mu characters to have good movement speed.
Currently I have 3 characters, 1 of each class and only have 2 other Legendarys. Bad Juju and Thunderlord.
Can any vets offer advice if it's worth picking up? It will be awhile till I get the dead orbit scout rifle. Perhaps this would be a worthy stop gap with the added bonus of a PvP weapon when rarely needed?

3 RepliesFor PvE? I used mida a good deal in y1 after they gave it high caliber rounds. Now that they've removed that I can't think of a good reason to use it other than if you need to run somewhere fast.

Use SC for 3oC and any exotics you are missing. The Mida will help with all Destiny activities. Taking down enemies rapidly and at a distance. Easy to get precision headshots. The +2 agility is great.

Mida is a great weapon in every aspect. Pick it up, I promise you won't regret it.
-
MIDA is great for everything dude! It has a fairly large magazine compared to most year 2 scout rifles. It makes you move and strafe extremely quickly and it is incredibly accurate. Long story short, it's definitely worth picking up.
-
Used to be fun to use in PvE, but not since they nerfed it. Sitting in my Vault now because they got rid of the only thing I liked about it, which was its flinch ability.

It's good in PVE too especially with small arms on. I'd grab it regardless. It's one of the best guns in the game.

Just to give everyone an update. I bought both the Titan chest and Midas and have been very happy with both. I can see now why the Midas is so revered as an all around gun. It versatility is immediately evident. Is it the best in PvE? Probably not. But it's no slouch either. It's versatility makes it worth it very much. Just seems like a very solid weapon and I haven't even unlocked the perks yet. I'm sure the fun factor isn't the highest since it doesn't have any really special "fun" perks. But 3rd eye and added agility are just so solid for the way I play. I recommend anyone else debating like I was so take the risk and purchase it. Thanks again to everyone and their opinions. I appreciate it.

Actually I'm going to get it, because I haven't had one since the Year 1 version.
-
The reason it's good is becaaue it can be used in nearly every situation, no it's not the DPS monster that was Ghally but it's versatile. My advice would be to buy it, unless you have some other really nice primarys then save the coins for RoI.
-
I use it for pve all the time it's just a great gun
-
Yes it's one of the best exotics ever get it
-
buy it, you won't be disappointed
-
A darn good scout rifle. A beast in this week's CoE. Yeah, there are some really good legendary scout rifles, but Mida still chews up enemies in PvE. The sound effects and the fast accurate hits make for a fun, deadly gun. Worth getting. You may find yourself using it an awful lot.
-
It's great. Speed boost is never bad.
-
Yes it's great if you feel over whelmed because you can get out quick. It's the exotic I use in pve
-
IMO, I love it! Even w/out the high caliber. Its still a great gun!! Both PvE & PVP.
-
There are better options for an exotic slot in Y2. Mida was great in Y1, especially when running the lanterns in CE.
-
Advice Buy it and if you have extra time play poe 28 to get more strange coins to spend
-
It's worth buying if you don't have it.
-
In my opinion its great. The nerf took it down a peg but still totally viable in every event/ game type. Iv been using it pretty much as my only main weapon on my hunter since the beginning of The Dark Below.
-
Now that I think about it, I've barely ever used the MIDA for pve. It's not something I'd waste the exotic slot on pve. Juju and Zhallo would be better choices in that regard. Otherwise, Hung Jury and Treads Upon Stars are fantastic legendary scouts for pve.
-
5 RepliesSucks in pve..... I say hung jury is way better

9 RepliesEdited by thepostaldave: 7/8/2016 4:20:20 PMIt's rarely a good idea to run the mida in pve. I did however run it for coe, does well for precision shots. They could one shot the ads but normally it really struggles on the damage side. That said you might want to buy it anyway in case you so any pvp. It's a good weapon for long maps.
-
Scout rifles are very good in PvE, if you have the one that dead orbit sold a while back it's really good for PvE, if not you can get the treads upon stars and run black spindle
-
Its a really good gun, love it for PVP. Bad JuJu is a far better choice for PVE though due to the super regen and free reload after a kill. But by it anyway lol
