Bad Weapon Showdown II: Krysae Vs. Disciple

Those guns are fine, just put a turian on them

*Slow deep nasal inhalation*

With the Phaeston, they got it wrong. Good magazine capacity, moderate rate of fire, little bit inaccurate, very poor damage. Sounds like it has 7 nuts loose, maybe bolts. Maybe nuts AND bolts. Hard to tell without taking it apart, might break in the process, voids warranty.  Best to leave it alone.

With the Krysae, they got it right. Decent grenade launcher, area ammo primer, smartbomb technology detonates within enemy proximity. Useful for shooting over cover or around corners. Slow rate of fire and clunky reload acceptable when considering the crowd control capabilities of the weapon. When used in conjunction with area Tech powers, can make the wielder all but untouchable.

...But since they were trying to make it a sniper rifle, they still got it wrong.

I've heard Krysea used to be pretty damn op before it was downgraded, its a fun weapon and it's good if one has the marksman power.

For disciple i use it on asari Valkyrie once in a while, so light i can power spam and it does stagger the smaller enemies.

but both of them overall are pretty meh.

I'm not liking your post on principle because I recognize everything you say about the Phaeston is true, but am in complete denial. My TSent loves that gun like it's a second rate Lancer! 

As for the last bit, having heard your post in a certain Salarian's voice, I guess it's fair to say that these are the things that are likely to happen if you let someone else do the design work.

Out of the 2500 hours I have played I probably have used both weapons a total of 1 hour, so I cant really answer this question.

It IS a second rate Lancer.  Even humans design better weapons.  Cerberus and N7 technologies especially noteworthy, rival many of the galaxy's best.

Should stick to firing weapons.  It's what Turians are better at.  Let someone else design.  Not every race can be good at everything.  There's no shame in that.

Indeed. That was my point, hence the wink. I liked your post this time though. 

Since I suck at sniping anyway, I made a lolz SalInfil build just to use the Krysae every once in a while. kalence.weebly.com/me3-builder.html#53!5702535!4802565!34U55324!ED963G

I could never make the Disciple work.

Edit: Link fail. >.<

Krysae is awesome against Gold Cerberus/Geth with an Infiltrator. Disciple lacks fire power for a rare weapon.

For me the disciple is the worst. Damn thing is supposed to stagger more than other shotguns. It doesn't. Other shotguns stagger as much or more which is sad. It get's beat out by miles by the talon, which has the added bonuses of more damage and native shield/barrier damage. It's not worth the rp value for me either. My Justicar is a wraith gal  .

At least the pre nerf rape krysae exists in the single player. I can't say that about disciple. It sucks no matter what. Once the wraith and talon got the needed buffs, the disciple lost any hope of filling in as a light weight killer of things. Now if you shoot it at a banshee she will gut you just for using such a dismal toy.

The krysae at least can be used for ammo effects and tech explosions. So if you want a squad of marauders to kill you faster, the disciple with aid in that suicidal task.

Next showdown thread request: "Almost" Executioner vs some other junk. I can't wait to throw shit at that gun.
