Talk:Rakta Ballistica/@comment-81.129.95.91-20141129124414

Wow, just wow. Ive used the regular balistica extensivly and have often considerd its only redeeming factor to be its puncture damage and ammo efficiency. By changing the damage type to kill corpus (a faction that i personally consider to be the weakest of the 4)  they have realisticly made a weapon that somehow takes the balistica and makes it less usefull.

One of the main benefits to the balistica is its high base puncture damage meaning its quite a good weapon for taking out large grineer targets at early levels when you dont have accsess to forma or potatos. however its complete lack of crit potential means that when you hit mastery rank 8 or so then kind of enemies you are likley to be facing will be too strong to 1 shot with the balistica or any other weapon asside from the dread, paris, lanka, vectis and hek.

"sigh" its just such a shame that DE missed out on such a good oppotunity to make an extremly underused weapon usefull. oh and i would quite like to hear other peoples opinions on this.
