Talk:Hysteria (Weapon)/@comment-4448946-20150518022520

So I'm going to try to explain Hysteria clearly with a numbered list.

1. Hysteria is an ability gives you a new melee weapon, which is also called Hysteria.

2.This Hysteria Weapon will only be unequipped when the duration of the Hysteria Ability runs out.

3. None of the mods, on your Equipped Melee Weapon, or their effects are transfered to the Hysteria Weapon.

4. The Hysteria Weapon has only 1 mod on it and this mod is a stance mod, once again named Hysteria.

5. This Hysteria Stance provides the combos used by the Hysteria Weapon.

6. The Hysteria Weapon has set values for its Reach, Status Chance and Attack Speed.

7. The Attack, Crit Chance and Crit Multiplier values for the Hysteria Weapon are determined by formulas.

8. The Base Attack, Crit Chance and Crit Multiplier values from your equipped weapon are used in the formulas for the respective values on the Hysteria Weapon.

9. The formulas take the values after they have been altered by mods. This allows any mod that affects the Base Damage, Crit Chance or Crit Damage values to alter the damage of the Hysteria Weapon.

10. Strength Mods on the Valkyr Warframe affect the Hysteria Weapon because they are used by the formula that determines the Base Damage of the Hysteria Weapon.

11. Elemental mods do not affect base damage and as such have no effect on the damage of the Hysteria Weapon.

12. Reach mods do not affect the Hysteria Weapon because they are on your Equipped Melee Weapon and the Hysteria Weapon has it's own set value for Reach.

13. Status Chance mods do not affect the Hysteria Weapon because they are on you Equipped Melee Weapon and the Hysteria Weapon has it's own set value for Status Chance

14. Attack Speed mods do not affect Hysteria Weapon because they are on your Equipped Melee Weapon and the Hysteria Weapon has it's own set value for Attack Speed.

15. The Finishing Touch and Energy Channel mods are on your Equipped Melee Weapon, not the Hysteria Weapon, and as such do not affect the Hysteria Weapon.

16. Berserker cannot activate because the mod is still on your Equipped Melee Weapon. But, because Berserker provides a buff to the Warframe, not the weapon, any active buffs from Berserker affect the Attack Speed of the Hysteria Weapon.

17. Channeling Mods cannot be activated because they are on your Equipped Melee Weapon and not the Hysteria Weapon.

18. Channeling prior to activating the Hysteria Ability does not affect the Hysteria Weapon. This is because channeling buffs are removed when channeling ends and activating the Hysteria Ability turns off channeling, this applies to activating any ability.

So I think I've covered the logic behind why everything on the Hysteria Ability works the way it does.

If I didn't cover something comment below and I'll give it a shot.
