@repairmant187 Thats what I was getting at with the whole aoe thing. she can do damage to a vastly superior number of enemies than most weapons. but if you tried to take out a single high leveled grineer with mags powers alone it would take longer than if you used amprex or tigris.

see now THAT is an interesting comparison. To compare those two you'd have to look at where they stand in their respective fields. So Tigris prime is a fairly strong weapon in the main game and is still somewhat popular. Corvas on the otherhand is a relatively weak weapon and sees very little use. You are right in thinking that because they are in different gamemodes where the amount of damage necessary to succeed is different comparing those factors is irrelevent. But you can say that within their own system one performs better than the other. You can also compare things like how they handle firerate recoil and accuracy, as those stats are similar across gamemodes.

My point is saying you can't compare two things because they are different is silly. You already have. You've looked at the aspects of each object and decided because there is one thing they both don't have/do they are incomparable. But in reality there are many other features of those two items that can be compared. In the case of Tigris vs Amprex, tigris has a differen't mechanic to how it's damage is calculated and displayed to the player. But the fact is both are weapons in this game that are meant to damage in the same situations, and you have to choose one over the other. Making a comparison between these two weapons is completely valid.
