1. Very slow sighting. It takes  along time and you do not get full damage bonus if you hip fire.

What?
The sighting is actually pretty quick if you're not holding down the fire button(which is what activates the "enhanced zoom" function)--and what's more you can queue up two shots almost instantaneously by holding down the fire button and then Cloaking->firing->firing again.

2. Slow reload.

Faster than the Widow/Harpoon Gun/Javelin. The Krysae reload speed isn't that bad at all.

3.Slow rate of fire

It's almost the same as a Valiant or Viper. That's pretty quick.
 

4. Weak damage overall compared to shotguns and other snipers and even pistols. 3 shot basic troopers in silver with non-inf.

...What?

5. Not precise. You often don't hit what you want to. Something moves in front you hit that instead. A teammate steps in front no damage for you.

That's not a problem with precision. That's a problem with situational awareness.

6. Splash damage doesn't do a whole lot. Even on my inf most of the time to take out three clustered basic troops takes 3 shots on gold.

Er what?
The splash damage does quite a bit--especially when you're playing as an Infiltrator and have Sniper amps and Incendiary/AP ammo on.

7. Projectiles are slow they can be dodged more easily. You have to become good with leading targets.

I don't know how you're having targets dodge your shots--I have yet to see anything beyond a Banshee jumping right as I fired dodge shots.

So in conclusion it takes a different set of skills to use and is no more OPthan the carnifex or GPS.


It really does not take a "different set of skills to use".
It's simple as learning how to lead targets and aiming for maximum airburst potential on clusters--then aiming for the target itself when dealing with big targets.


Good response. OP is clearly concerned that someone at Bioware is going to fix the Krysae, though I doubt that will happen.

That whole bit about precision was good for a laugh. Someone else (or perhaps it was the OP) mentioned elsewhere that it took nearly a month to learn how to use the Krysae. Also good for a laugh - like making that statement is going to convince someone (presumbably a decision maker) that the Krysae requires some real practice - if not finesse - to handle.

Any rate, +1, or what not.

The reasons I can come up with?

- It fires blanks more often than not

- It will hit the swarmer right in front of you rather than the marauder that is tearing you apart.

- Killing ravagers is a major issue do to the swarmer thing, and this shows just how little of AoE affect the weapon has as it will kill the swarmer still basically inside the ravager but not harm the ravager itself at all.

Basically it just boils down to the gun hitting what's closest to you and not what you're aiming at and it firing blanks so often.


That said, the KrysaeX on my MQI 6/6/0/6/6 is still my issurance policy for bad public gold teams and tough matches.

Those are many of the reasons why I, not only don't find the weapon OP, but actually feel it underperforms, then again I guess in the hands of a good user it must be total murder, since so many complain about it...
As a side note, have you actually tried to kill a Guardian in a small corridor (like those on glacier for instance) with it? Don't try, it's just frustrating...

1. Very slow sighting. It takes  along time

  No it doesn't.

2. Slow reload.

  No slower than many other weapons.

3.Slow rate of fire

  Significantly faster than the Black Widow, Claymore, Falcon, et cetera, especially since it has an "instant fire" feature that lets it fire much more quickly than usual (like the Graal and GPS).
 

5. Not precise. You often don't hit what you want to. Something moves in front you hit that instead. A teammate steps in front no damage for you.

  The Krysae is perfectly accurate.  What you're actually saying is that it airbursts, which means you can't hit enemies at the back of a row.

6. Splash damage doesn't do a whole lot. Even on my inf most of the time to take out three clustered basic troops takes 3 shots on gold.

I have no trouble blowing up clusters of shielded Gold enemies outright, as shown in gameplay videos.  If you specced your infiltrator properly, it would one-shot shielded enemies pre-Tactical Cloak nerf.  Haven't retested post-nerf, but the nerf wasn't nearly so large that it would go from 1 to 3 shots.

7. Projectiles are slow they can be dodged more easily. You have to become good with leading targets.

  No you don't.  You're thinking of the Graal.  The Krysae intelligently airbursts and you hardly need to aim at all.  I don't think I've ever seen one of my shots get dodged.

8. Does not get head shot damage bonus.

  It doesn't need one.  It already does more damage than the strongest black widow headshot can to a shielded enemy because it bypasses the shield gate.

9. No AP piercing.

  It can airburst around walls and ignores armor DR.

So in conclusion it takes a different set of skills to use and is no more OPthan the carnifex or GPS.

  I don't see anyone doing 9-10 minute speedruns with the Carnifex or GPS.  Moreover, nowhere in your argument have you actually compared the merits of the Krysae directly to either of these weapons to support this claim.  Your conclusion does not follow from your argument.  Your argument wouldn't have had any more or less merit if you just said "roses are red, violets are blue, the Krysae is no more overpowered than the Carnifex or GPS."

For example, going down your list of points... the GPS also cannot pierce walls, but unlike the Krysae can't shoot around them or trivially deal with Guardians.  The GPS also doesn't get a headshot damage bonus.  The GPS has slow projectiles and its homing feature is not sufficient to let it hit a fast moving enemy at certain ranges and has nothing like the Krysae's intelligent airburst feature.  The GPS has nearly the same rate of fire as the Krysae.  Its reload speed differs from the Krysae by only a couple tenths of a second.  And so forth.

Soo...if it take 3 shots to kill a mook on silver...but also only takes 3 shots to kill an entire mob on gold...isn't that a bit different?

If it can kill gold enemies like they were on silver...its powerful. if it can kill a mook MOB on gold like it was a single on silver? its OP. Period.

It's better on crowds than shotguns and is more forgiving than other SRs because of the splash damage.

You're describing every gun.

I take out multiple Cannibals and Cerberus troops with 2 shots on Gold all the time.

Yes you do. I got the 10 headshots award the other day with it.

Only 3 SR do. It's not something that every SR has or needs to be effective.

So in conclusion it takes a different set of skills to use and is no more OPthan the carnifex or GPS.


I'm pretty sure you're an awful player if you think the Carnifax is on the same level as the GPS or Krysae.

Nope, it's more OP than say a carnifex or a GPS. When you nuke a spawn with it, you don't actually only kill the guy you shoot, but those around him too. Something the carnifex doesn't do. 

I've seen GPS and grenades do it much faster. Headshots with the carnifex can kill faster and you have much quicker reloads along with super light weight which balances it .


Except headshots require precision, which is something the Krysae doesn't need to function. If a person is a bad shot, then he or she may not have much luck in getting headshots. Since the Krysae's shots explode within a certain vicinity of tagret's, one can fire indirectly at the enemies and still get many multikills.

With it firing blanks, and not hitting what I'm actually aiming at is why I won't use it. Would much prefer something I can count on.

Im not trying to defend this me3tard™ in any way but what i THINK he is trying to say is that once you activate the scope, you can pan around with the reticule much more quickly  and accurately with the black widow than with the krysae before shooting. its pans slower and nothing more. this is true.

I didn't pay 60$ to sit around and watch a GI kill everything with a Krysae. It makes the game not fun for other players... especially biotics.

I can kill everything with a lot of other stuff too. Does that get me kicked?


Nope. Just make sure you have a mic

I've been trying the Krysae on every class and I'm pretty horrible with it. Especially the Infiltrator, then again I'm not very good with Infiltrators in general.

I've seen people one shot a lot of enemies with it though, Rocket Trooopers and such.

Rocket troopers that have shields?!? That is unlikely except maybe on bronze with a level 20 inf with all damage pluses. I never take a higher than 8-9 in bronze so I cannot recall ever doing it in less than 2 shots. On a non-inf there is no way.

I think what happened is shields were stripped and then boom.


The Kyrsae ignores shield gate. Idk about post-nerf but before a single cloaked shot from a kyrsae would kill Rocket Troopers/Centurians/Marauders with full shields w/o amps.

The Krysae was nerfed a few weeks back and the perfect set-up on the GI has also seen nerfs to hunter mode and tactical cloak. I can safety say that the Krysae has been on the mind of the Bioware devs for the past few weeks. Even after all the alterations the Krysae remains the best gun in the game but it's over powered Godmode has been reduced a good bit. However, I wouldn't be surprised it Bioware continues to tweek the Krysae.

Look, there is always going to be a best gun in the game, period. And right now that gun is the Krysae.

I have to disagree, a single shot even when cloaked w/ amps is not capable of dispatching the above mentioned units. What you are referring to is the infamous "double-shot". I think that if this small "trick" were to be fixed the Krysae's OP'dness would reduce dramatically. Infiltrators are able to apply a damage bonus to two shots when done correctly. The Krysae was brought down to par with the last balance change towards its damage output, but due to this double-shot trickery, infiltrators can still benefit from what is simply an in game manipulation. It "looks" like a single shot, but it is actually two.

(The following is not actual statistics) 
So say your normal Krysae Damage is 500 and when a cloaked shot is fired it increases to 1000. Also say the Rocket Troopers total health (Shields included) is 1500. When you double that you get 2000pts of damage and easily dispatch the troop! Very OP.
(again, certainly not the correct dmg pt or RT health, just an example)

Take away the ability for double-shot, the Krysae is completely fixed.

Incorrect.
Energy drain the shields away, THEN a single krysae MIGHT kill the target, maybe.

1. It still takes seconds to sight and fire something you don't deal with on the carnifex. I only use scopes on snipers. Everything else I am skilled enough to headshot without. This means more shots per minute and more damage. You trade that off when you use a krysae.

2. Not bad it is pathetic. So what if other guns are slower it is one of the slowest period and that can get you downed. Try using it on an engineeer without claok and see if that hunter will not kill you via stagger before you can even relaod. That is if you are not being shot by anything else.

3. Valiant and viper are faster. It is at the bottom and projectile travel time is long.

4. On a non- inf it takes three shots in silver now to kill a basic mob. I use it all the time I should know. If you think otherwise then prove it with numbers. That is without amps or taking damage evolutions. It doesn't do enough period.

5. I'm glad you can see things like swarmers at your feet while in scoped. Even if I accept your point it means it takes skill to use properly which people are saying it does not. Fact remains it is very hard to pick a target out of a mob while with almost any other gun you can EASILY headshot at any range getting the bonus damage.

6. The range is not as large as people make it out to be. In use you're lucky to hit more than one and they take decidely less damage when you do hit more than one. Rarely do I ever explode more than one enemy at a time.
 
7. OK I admit that was poorly worded. I did not mean directly dodge like a warp but try to hit from the Hydra landing zone to the far spawn point and most of your shots will miss because they move.

It is easier to hit exactly any one single target with a BW or practically any other weapon than a krysae and that's a fact.

To all the ignorant people that throw out skill or noob accusations i(mplicit or directly). Play with someone before you start insulting. Until then you have no idea other than making yourself look foolish. I don't say someone is bad until I have first hand knowledge and even then I don't waste my time doing it. I respect other people even if they aren't as good as me and I know there are better players than me. It is just a agme.


I don't cheaply stomp spawn points or rarely use rockets either to do so. Anyone can AI exploit. If I am with at least one in friends list we can finish level 11 gold with any class and never level 20s (for me) around 80%. We rarely camp and don't utilize the farm for FBWhite. I have three manned gold due to drop outs. People are really trying to say they are more skilled for not using the krysae. If you need the ego boost then go right on and keep thinking it just don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. I got a gold medal for headshots my very first game with the basic weapons. It is easy to do so and if you have an infiltrator and scope it is nothing to brag about at all. I never use extended scopes. Once I was pubbing for bronze and got dropped in a gold game wave 6 with a level one with no equipment amps. I had to be revived once and scored almost 45K.

These same supposed skilled people defend reload cancelling and use the claymore because it does the most damage and ignores shield gate often killing most in one or two shots. They will also rocket spawn points to kill the whole spawn. That takes skill now? Please. Let's drop the skill arguement because gold is not as tough or you're not great for doing it. I do several golds everytime I play. I'm no redjohn but everyone that plays with me happily joins games and we have great success because I can hold my own with any character class and build I bring. I did do poorly my first time with a scorpion on ex-cerb adept though only 45K in silver. Image IPB Nobody's perfect.

I'm pretty sure it gets the full damage if it is hip fired.

There is no denying the ability to be able to wipe an entire spawn in one clip without much effort. It does about as much damage as a mantis, but does that damage to a wide area and has 2 more shots then the mantis in its clip. If it wasn't for the krysae there wouldn't have been quite as much of an uproar against infiltrators. The Krysae ruined the multiplayer balance and is an abomination that should've been thought through much better. It rewards bad shooting with killstreaks and high scores, so clearly it is OP

No it doesn't. If you use it you can see it first hand.

Wipe a spawn with no effort yeah right. A cobra is quicker and far less risk. Three shots won't kill any boss level and trash mobs are easy no matter what. I don't use amps on bronze silver nor use high level characters. So it is disingenous to claim one clip easy done. I have never ever gotten a killstreak with it. I never used a GI with hunter mode until after they nerfed it. If it was possible with that build I don't know.

Ruined multiplayer in what way? That is pure exaggeration. It made things more fun for me because I always like to try new weapons.

Oh really? They nerfed infs after they nerfed krysae. Cause and effect don't follow. Score envy is the reason people are so contentious.

a special type of skill indeed... instead of aiming to hit the target's body just aim anywhere within a 3 foot radius of the target. That's got to be challenging.. don't know how those players do it... it's a falcon on steroids people!

Regardless, I love outscoring the sorry players who use that gun. It's usually easier than the reegar users.. not that I never use that gun. It still requires more know how than the krysae. "Sit back in the corner of a map, preferably near an ammo box, spam AOE accross the map and never move from that spot!"

It's sorta OP, but it's not like people are getting 200,000 points a game with it. The real issue some people have with it, is how simple it is to use. It caters to the unskilled.

Lies! If I took my BW and headshot everything the krysae would still beat me. It is good without skill it is godly with it.

Of course you don't deal with that on the Carnifex, it's a pistol and doesn't come scoped standard.

Put a scope on the Carnifex, however, and your effective range increases as you get a better optic to work with for zoom shots.

2. Not bad it is pathetic. So what if other guns are slower it is one of the slowest period and that can get you downed. Try using it on an engineeer without claok and see if that hunter will not kill you via stagger before you can even relaod. That is if you are not being shot by anything else.

I've used it on Sentinels, Vanguards, Engineers, Soldiers, and Adepts.

It is not bad, at all, and once you actually get used to its reload speed and actively use cover/abilities to supplement the Krysae--things will change rapidly for you.

3. Valiant and viper are faster. It is at the bottom and projectile travel time is long.

It is not at the bottom, at all. I don't know what game you're playing, but the rate of fire is pretty fast if you're not dialing the scope in all the way every shot.

4. On a non- inf it takes three shots in silver now to kill a basic mob. I use it all the time I should know. If you think otherwise then prove it with numbers. That is without amps or taking damage evolutions. It doesn't do enough period.

If you're doing Silver or higher without amps or damage evolutions and using a gun, you're doing it wrong.

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here.

It's not hard to "pick a target out of a mob"--because with the Krysae, you're not utilizing a precision tool.
You're firing a friggin' howitzer at someone.

6. The range is not as large as people make it out to be. In use you're lucky to hit more than one and they take decidely less damage when you do hit more than one. Rarely do I ever explode more than one enemy at a time.

Then you're doing it wrong. I regularly see 3-4 enemies explode every few shots.
 

7. OK I admit that was poorly worded. I did not mean directly dodge like a warp but try to hit from the Hydra landing zone to the far spawn point and most of your shots will miss because they move.

Gee.
It's easier to hit one target with precision fire than it is to hit one target with an area effect weapon.

Do you see the problem with this rationale?

They will also rocket spawn points to kill the whole spawn. That takes skill now? Please. Let's drop the skill arguement because gold is not as tough or you're not great for doing it. I do several golds everytime I play. I'm no redjohn but everyone that plays with me happily joins games and we have great success because I can hold my own with any character class and build I bring. I did do poorly my first time with a scorpion on ex-cerb adept though only 45K in silver. Image IPB Nobody's perfect.

I use the Raptor and Hornet regularly on Gold.

If that doesn't take skill, I don't know what does...

I should also add:
I will never understand why in the world this juvenile obsession with "no scoping" or even the silly impression  you're giving off of "getting headshots with a scope is lame" exists.
If you're going to use a precision rifle--aka a "sniper rifle", use the bloody scope attached to it. The point of the gun is to deliver its damage to a specific target, not hose the area around it with gunfire.

And talk of krysae nerfs continue. Looks like the "play the game for entertainment" philosophy no longer applies.

Well since the stupid thing got my preferred Sniper Rifles(Widow, Javelin, and Viper) downgraded in damage--I'm all for nerfing the Krysae.

It's a terribly designed weapon and should not have gone live like this.

The Krysae IS overpowered. Sorry, but it just is. The real issue is that for it to not be overpowered it would have to be useless. As in taking three shots to kill an Assualt Trooper on Gold useless.

But then... what would be the point of the weapon's existence? I like the Krysae don't get me wrong, but don't kid yourself. It's a "win button" and there is no doubt about it.
