Uhh, I always felt beam claws were just a standing. cont fire weapon... Devours anything which crosses their path, good walking speed, and retarded range with shot range +3. (Base for standing is about 40, so it should hit 60 with range +3)

Also the melee itself is below average for a claw, while the standing. cont fire eats through life pretty easily.

Yeah it is. Basically that's the main gist of it. But spamming it only will not help. I know the melee is weak, but it helps knowing you can slash the opponents with decent melee power if you stack your melee stars and stats right. I could go in more details this'll get long. I guess I better put information in the spoilers next time.

Uhh, not so sure about that. I have just a 5 star without standing. cont fire from my cycles to a compact arm, and i used it a bit in between fusions. I could easily go through matches with just the standing cont. fire. It does insane damage under energy charge, and it keeps it for a while with bumble-bee/playing dead. I've gone through tons of matches using only the standing cont. fire.

I'd imagine a 6 range standing cont. fire version would make it able to kill like crazy.

The melee is terrible, so why bother working with it when you could make it's already good traits better?

And no, beam claws doesn't have the longest range at all... You're confusing it with the laser staff/earthmaul. Which easily hit over 110.
Though I do think beam claw has one of the longest range cont. fires.

Beam claws dude BEAM CLAWS. I never said ANYTHING about the compact arm. They have a great base attack for cont fire. -_-
I said they have the longest range FOR THE CLAWS. NOT for the whole weapons . I am AWARE that the earthmaul club have the longest range of any weapon and the the laser staff is secoond behind it.

The last part of the post was for watchman, not you. Don't even remember you talking about it's range

Also i was still talking about beam claws, I said i got a pair from looping into compact. Never talked about the compact beyond just being related to how i got my beam claws.

@[member='watchman']: Meant staves not lancer... I keep doing that lol. Lancer actually has poor range compared to other staves iirc. (Though it's still more than most weapons)

Good, but seriously, they're great for that. But since they don't home in and to have much impact on it, they're not the best for it.

You simply can't be serious... The AoE is huge, the range is massive, the speed is retarded, and you don't even need to hit them that many times before they'll die with a proper beam claw.
Somehow I don't think you've tested the theory as much as I have.

The melee is terrible, the charge shots, are terrible, the dash cont. fire is average at best, if this claw has anything to rely on it is the Standing continuous fire.

Trust me. I can tell you how much time they've hit me with that, and it wasn't good. But w/e. To each is own techniques I suppose.

No, I won't trust you. As you're not giving any facts, you're just saying you've never met a good beam claw. Which also confirms my theory of you not testing them as I have.

Uh-huh. Mind testing your theory against me right now?

Wow, straight to the "well I'm right if i can beat you" logic, eh?

I don't need to test it. I already know, and you can provide no evidence to show otherwise.

No it's not that. I wanna see if it's as effective as you say it is.

 

[isaac52]

Make one yourself?

I'm at work. But it should be obvious that when all aspects of a weapon are average or worse, except for one which is far above average. That you shouldn't focus on making the crappy aspects better when that above average one is all you need.

Edit: Also, Like I said earlier... The beam claws were used for a compact. I can show you a pic of it if you want.

I'm starting to wonder if you're capable of saying ANYTHING politely...

He's not. But again w/e. To each his own techniques. I did try it and it wasn't as good as I thought. I just find the compact arm or the needle palm to be better at it.

 

[isaac52]

lol this is priceless...

Isaac: I know I'm right!
Gamefan: Can you test it against me?
Isaac: I know I'm right and you're wrong because you can't provide any evidence, even though I haven't provided evidence either!

Spoiler

This'd be funny if it wasn't obvious you were just blatantly biased against me.

I haven't provided evidence? Learn to read, bro. I provided plenty. About why the standing. cont fire is so amazing, whereas he has no grounds to prove his theory of it needing melee in order to kill.

How am I blatantly biased against you?

You whine about every other post i make.
But if you're not biased. Then you're just blind. Take your pick?

I'm unlocking this thread on the condition that all the back-and-forth bickering stop.

A wise mod (not me) once said something to the effect of:

While there's nothing wrong with offering constructive criticism and advice, there's also nothing wrong with rejecting that advice (especially if it wasn't asked for in the first place).

Whether Zantigo chooses to take advice or not is his prerogative. If you don't like his guide, leave this thread and go find a better one. It's that simple.

So the childish whining about my opinion will finally stop?

Thanks Dents.

I'm thinking about getting this game with the XL. But since I'm starting out so late (months after release date), it will be harder for me to play online. Everyone already has their godly weapons/experience, and I'm just starting the story mode. It kind of makes me not want to play.

I hope that makes sense.

It kinda does (one of the biggest reasons there should be more customizable challenge options online, in my opinion, kinda like for Street Fighter 3D).

At any rate, You can just play solo on your own, get through the campaign, farm for weapons at high intensities once you've had enough experience, etc and you'll get to the top in time. Plus, you can play together mode by yourself against computers, and you can tweak their difficulty levels from 1 to 9 (kind of like Smash Bros.), that way you can train yourself.

you will not be at a disadvantage, it is just how the game is setup.
