Omnicron Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Looking through the different Stalker primaries to try to figure out where to start my stalker journey, I was comparing the crit values for the different starting powers, and HOLY COW is Radioactive Smash above the curve!. Radioactive Smash deals 23.40 damage on a crit at level 1. For comparison, the next highest 16.40 for Broadsword's "hack". Most of them have crit values between 10 and 13. What gives?
Nezix Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Do you mean you made a lvl 1 character and tested the crit damage in game? Sounds like that's because Radioactive Smash has the highest Damage Per Activation of any of those powers. It also has a longer animation, so the actual DPS may be the same. You can see this in any of the Build programs (there is pinned in the Discord channel: at-build-general called Mid's Reborn which is up to date with Homecoming.
marcussmythe Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Rad Melee is newer, so didnt get the ‘cannot crit for full damage’ punishment that KM and EM did. Same goes for StJ, and is a reason for much if its current strength. Great Justice - Invuln/Energy Melee Tank Ann Atomic - Radiation/Super Strength Tank Elecutrix - Electric Blast/Super Reflexes Sentinel Ramayael - Titan Weapons/Bio Scrapper C'len - Spines/Bio Brute
Frostweaver Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 If it makes you feel better, the rest of the set's mechanics are a terrible fit for stalker and suck right up until the end game.
