Talk:Dakra Prime/@comment-12.164.31.26-20130924151627

Honestly I have this weapon and got orthos prime on the side without even trying, was trying to get bronco reciever I believe and I got both blades xD. Anyways... I got the orthos prime, insta potatoed it after first level. Insane dmg, charged or not. 60 base normal swing damage 1.3 attack speed. However, I did the same with the dakra prime yet only potatoed it because of the looks. Why the hell is an orthos prime better at normal melee swings than the dakra prime? I understand melee but this is ridiculous. The range on the orthos prime is without question far superior to that of any other weapon, and the fact that it does 5 more damage than this weapon is pathetic. This game is souly revolved around charged weapon: All the really good combo mods such as arp/charge speed are souly for charged weapons. All I'm saying is if you want to normal melee with a weapon, your best choice is the orthos prime. If you want to do charged melee with a weapon, you best choice is the orthos prime. Hopefully they will change the dakras swings to serrated blade damage and give it a damage boost of 5-15 because otherwise this weapon is useless, I would like too use this weapon because the idea of a normal melee weapon hitting multiple targets at lightning fast speed with stagger is awesome, but then the orthos prime could do it to and I feel like this weapon is only useful for infested, light grineer, and some corpus.
