Neither is true. Enemies don't need to be over 30 and your light level doesn't make a difference either, as long as your equal to or over the enemies. Weapon attack doesn't work like light level. People kept insisting when Dark Below came out that you needed to fight level 32 enemies to make a difference with 331 attack weapons, but it made a difference on any enemy above level 22.

You misunderstood.

Your light level absolutely 100% makes a difference, up to the level of the enemy.. which is what I was referring to. And the jump from 300 to 365 IS significant, assuming you're at the appropriate level.

No, using a 365 vs a 300 gun on a level 35 enemy isn't going to help much when you're level 22, but it will help a ton if you're level 34.

365/300 = 1.22 so a 22% damage increase.

I still feel confident in the 5% compound bonus per level.

300+5%=315 (level 31)
315+5%=330.75 (level 32)
330.75+5%=347.28 (level 33)
347.28+5%=364.65 (level 34)

347.28+5%=364.65 (level 34)

Right, that's how they calculated what the increased attack value is, but the difference once you get there is still 365/300 when it calculates the damage per shot.

 

[Newboi]

Hey Guys, I'm torn right now. Should I be the Saterienne Rapier or Two to the Morgue form the crucible weapons vendor?

They both look awesome! I do enjoy PvE more than PvP, but I do still play both. What do you guys think?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

How do you think I feel, everyone having Gjallarhorn in their top 3. Ascending the *worst* weapon in the game. Heavy ammo doesn't even drop that often!

Following this, when the level cap is raised to 36 later on, attack stat would rise to 402. Interesting fit btw, nice catch.

Honestly, some of the vendor primaries are great and have great perks, but once you get a collection of primaries from raids that deal elemental damage, you'll never go back. So, two to the morgue imo as it is something you can always use.

Of course this depends on what your other current primary and shotgun options are.

I wouldn't do that, especially if you only have 6 exotics. You never know when they'll buff a given weapon nor when a currently useless exotic turns into god-tier because of a raid situation.

For example: Red Death was useless until the Crota fight coupled with the pulse rifle buff.

I have Found Verdict, SwordBreaker, and Secret Handshake.

 

[Homeboyd]

I have Found Verdict and SwordBreaker.

Yeah both of those are better than the vendor 2 to the morgue. Rapier is a better gun in this case, but if you have a fatebringer/vision/word, you'll probably never use it. If you don't have those, pick it up. Any scout with firefly is great to have.

 

[robertlebrone]

That is very very, very wrong.
Truth > Horn for pvp and void burns.

Nah I disagree. Truth doesn't come out of the vault. Especially not in PvP it doesn't do a single thing better than Gjallahorn there. I think about it for a second in void burns, then just go corrective measure instead. Truth is going to be doubly useless when I can get CM to 365.

347.28+5%=364.65 (level 34)

Though looking at Youtube, going from Vision of Confluence to Fang of Ir Yut on the same goblins is 890 vs. 1019 damage, so that's actually a 14% increase instead of the ~10% that it should be. Maybe going up to 365 attack will be an even greater increase.

Truth > Horn for pvp and void burns.

I agree, Truth is extremely powerful in pvp, easily the best rl for it. The rockets will literally follow people around corners because of Prototype Trueseeker.

 

[robertlebrone]

I wouldn't do that, especially if you only have 6 exotics. You never know when they'll buff a given weapon nor when a currently useless exotic turns into god-tier because of a raid situation.

For example: Red Death was useless until the Crota fight coupled with the pulse rifle buff.

To clarify I only have 6 exotic shards. I have all the exotic weapons except Suros and 4th horseman.

 

[Shito]

Nah I disagree. Truth doesn't come out of the vault. Especially not in PvP it doesn't do a single thing better than Gjallahorn there. I think about it for a second in void burns, then just go corrective measure instead. Truth is going to be doubly useless when I can get CM to 365.

Truth's tracking, proximity explosion and blast radius are better than on the Horn. It's the best rocket launcher for PvP, it can't miss.
Also, I wouldn't try scratching angry minotaurs during a void burn with a machine gun... especially not when one rocket from Truth is enough to melt them away. ^^

Aaah it looks like the Titan Crest of Alpha Lupi is on sale this weekend when I'm away. Remote Play better work, I gotta have a complete exotic collection for at least two days!

I for one cannot wait to ascend my VoG weapons.

from what weve seen, there is almost no reason to go VOID upgrades anytime soon. I didnt see anything with with void in POE. VOID NFs are so easy (nexus, winters run) its not worth the upgrde until later down the road. well have to see I suppose
