Focused Fury perk: thoughts?
This weapon perk has always bugged me. You only get a small damage buff after scoring half your mag as crits....and it resets after you reload it? Stowing maintains the buff until the timer runs out but still it feels like you can't do much with only some of your magazine doing damage.
I've often felt that reloading the weapon should trigger the weapon damage. This way you can continue looping the damage.

The Veleda-F sniper (echoes: revenant) is actually pretty good with it thanks to it having a small mag (3 rounds at base I think), pair it with deconstruction and it chunks and reloads all on its own. Throw in extended or appended mag and you only need 2 crits to proc it

It's not as bad as you think. Sure, it's no Master of arms, target lock, or precision instrument (Which does outclass it on viable weapons), but the damage buff it provides isn't too shabby (20% If I remember correctly, which is a larger buff than what is provided by many perks in the game). I've never really looked at it as a direct competitor to the other perks, but rather as a means of getting free extra damage on weapons that are capable of abusing it. Such as those with mag extending perks like fourth times, or really high fire rates. My favorite instance of it, however, is on Smite of Merrain which has a criminally high stability stat and rolls Focused in the left. In short, I like the perk when I can synergize it with something that makes its uses more abundant.

2 RepliesEdited by FReyeD Inc: 5/5/2026 10:52:11 PMIts not a very good perk compared to the damage perks we have now. I believe that one originated during witch queen, and used to be decent compared to other damage perks that were available at the same time. Its outdated and four years old now. Edit : Eye of Sol and The Summoner had the perk first in Trials, but it was mainstreamed during The Witch Queen.
