Talk:Sigma & Octantis/@comment-71.13.213.237-20171112104412

I don't get all the hype behind this thing. "But it's a melee weapon that can spam finishers independently of Warframe abilities!"

Yeah, that's nothing new. Ever used the charge attack on sparring/fist/claw weapons? How about the stagger effect of the Caustacyst's sludge wave? Or maybe you've heard of this polearm called the Vaykor Syndon?

I'm not really impressed with the Sigma and Octantis. There are better status/crit melees, and some of those stagger/crit melees can even perform finisher's naturally (Prisma Obex, Vaykor Syndon, Venka Prime, Hirudo...).

I dunno what I was expecting. The Zenistar has a unique application that no other melee weapon can replicate; the Sigma and Octantis has a nerfed distinction that isn't even unique among its weapon class. For our 700 day login reward, we get this pile of uninteresting crap?

Mastery fodder comes in all manner of shapes and sizes it seems; but the flavor is consistant across all of mastery fodder's forms: disappointment.
