Talk:Dera/@comment-50.172.18.0-20140816165116

I'd like to see this get a mild to moderate buff (if DE is even capable of that; the most recent nerfs of launchers demonstrate they do not and definitely live up to the EXTREMES in their name). I'd love to see a Vandal version from a future event. It's quite fun to use but is hamstrung a bit by low base damage. A lab weapon with no polarities that requires research and a Forma to make should have a bit more power.

The Dera should be clearly ahead of the Tetra (not by a huge amount, but it should be a step above it) given it is more difficult to acquire when in fact they are pretty close overall (I personally prefer the Dera, but I use it with Banshee's Sonar or Volt's shield). I could definitely see why some would prefer the Tetra, however. And I don't think it should be so close given the demands and resources for the Dera are clearly higher.

They FINALLY boosted the damage for the Acrid a bit since nerfing it to hell, so perhaps they'll give this a bit of a boost. I'm mildy disappointed that they didn't give some of the other energy weapons the same attention that they just gave the Flux rifle, which got a needed boost. We'll see what happens over time I guess.
