The first video was of 4 people who can aim, using good weapons and NO rockets and clearing Gold/Collectors/London (not an easy combo) before the Collector nerf, in < 15 minutes.

The second was of 4 people who can't aim, using terrible weapons and lots of rockets, clearing Platinum/Glacier (fastest Platinum map) in 26 minutes.

Could an Avenger do this?  

Of course it couldn't, so stop being silly.

 


Actually...

 

And how are those two videos similar in any way?


You're right they're not. The first one was of 4 Destroyers beating Gold with 4 Typhoons. The 2nd is of 4 GI Joe's beating Platinum with 4 Avengers lol


What's your point?

Point was made pages ago. Now we're so far off the rails no one remembers.

Recap on 'The Point.'

OP's Thread 'Typhoon doesn't suck.'  

My point - Typhoon does suck... unless you use it on Soldier/TGI/GI  with a bunch of mods.

A Typhoon will kill mooks just as fast as the Saber, and bosses it will kill much much much much faster.


I've been testing both weapons on Turian Soldier and i get better results against mooks with Saber, against bosses yes, Typhoon has the advantage but Saber isn't bad either, not to be considered the worse UR when is actually really good.


Typhoon has the advantages of native penetration, ammo, etc.
But saber respond much much better of host, when you get some lag Typhoon is pure garbage, some time ago it took me half mag to take down a husk.

Also Saber is stupidly good with marksman when the player knows how to aim properly.


I'd say both are great weapons, but of course, it's much easier to exploit all the advantages of Typhoon than saber's.

 

Someone who is good enough to make the Saber extremely good, is good enough to make the Typhoon even better. This isn't even a close contest or matter of personal preference. The Typhoon is objectively far better in just about every way. The Saber doesn't even come close, sorry.




i'm not talking about preferences, i'm talking about my personal experience.

I kill mooks much faster using marksman with Saber than with Typhoon.

But as I said, both are good, but it's much easier to take all the advantages of Typhoon because Saber is tricky, very good aiming is required to show the true potential, said this, I almos must say that saber is a waste on the hands of the very big majority of players in this game.

Again i'm not saying that Saber is better or viceversa, i'm just talking about my personal experience.

That's the problem with arguing on teh interwebz. At the end of the day, you don't even remember why you're arguing.

Anyhow, what do you think of the PPR? It's godly right? But you wouldn't use it on adept because of the ramp up mechanic, true?

Well, people won't use the Typhoon on power classes because it has a ramp up like the PPR, but it's also heavy.

Which makes it a weapons classes' gun. There's no reason to use ramp up guns on a majority of power spamming classes. It's only logical. And it's decent enough without consummables.

Point is, it's not at the level it should be. It should out DPS a PPR. But it doesn't suck either.

Totally agree. It could use a slight buff.

Your aim is no better than mine. You and I would both kill things faster over the course of a game, if we used the Typhoon.

Slightly unrelated, but me and a couple of buddies ran the typhoon on plat for several games yesterday. So much more fun than that gross harrier.

So the Typhoon X, with amps, level 4 AP rounds, on a Destroyer. -_-,


AP Rounds only give a bonus against armor/health.

See how fast an Atlas' shields or Banshees/phantoms' barrier go down ? :whistle:

not sure if serious so 

 

Huh? Feneckus is right... AP only give bonuses to armour/health.

not what i was referencing, phantom/atlas/banshee shields can be taken down just as fast with other guns. 
Devastator mode has damage/fire rate/accuracy/mag bonuses, Devastator has good shields so it can take more abuse than most kits, he doesn't require a CD bonus, since he doesn't use powers. 
The weight of the Typhoon makes it a bad choice for power based kits, the fact that you have to be out of cover for a few seconds in order for it to do proper damage makes a bad choice for squishy/softer kits. 
If you're going to test a gun properly, use it on different kits, not just weapon kits. test it without amps as well as different types of ammo, use it against different enemy factions, then use the Typhoon's competition (Harrier, PPR) and do the same for them.

My PPR is at 5
My Typhoon is at 9
Magazine Upgrade and High Velocity Barrel (Typh)
215 rounds in the gun, 488 spare ammunition. (Typh)
Drill Rounds 1/AP Rounds 1= Nothing Lives
Any ammunition higher than 1 is simply overkill.
This is on my Destroyer.
I love that gun, it literally shreds whatever you are shooting at.

I've never seen anyone use the PPR outside of a weapons class unless they were cheesing with Warp and Incendiary ammo, or just plain stupid.

And please stop making comparisons to the Harrier, it is an anomaly.
