Are you excited for the new sidearms?
thoughts? Comments??
A good example of people jumping to conclusions about a weapon... *Ahem* gjallarhorn week 2....give it a chance guys and gals, then you can judge it.
Edit: what if each faction got their own sidearm weapon to sell?

[b]MannAV2[/b]: "It does 2k+ precision damage on 32 knights per shot in the stream using Vestian Dynasty.
The impact is completely new to the damage till we get hands on experience.
Basically like how low the impact on snipers looks like, but it does 7.5k precision damage.
It's a brand new special weapon, so it has its own impact and its relation to damage."

The guy using the vestian dynasty during PoE was during Arc Burn. Therefore, since a burn is x3, it would deal about 700 Headshot damage and about 350 Body shot.

1 ReplyEdited by Freyja-1: 5/12/2015 7:22:27 PMI remember describing an idea for a new weapon class a few weeks back which resembled sidearms almost entirely (I think I even called the class sidearm). Probably a coincidence, but I still think this is awesome.

Anyone know any info on the exotic sniper?

I am very intrigued by this. It could be an excellent choice in some places, assuming it mostly fits the mid range or shorter range role. Could be perfect for gunslingers since you can keep chain of woe and gunslingers trance going using a secondary. Which you really can't with a fusion rifle or shotgun. Or combined with a long range, heavy impact scout rifle for long and mid range. Can't wait to see how these things perform.

1 ReplyI don't think you guys understand that weapon types have their own level of impact. Take a sniper for example. Has low/medium impact, but can do about 4k-7k damage with a critical shot. We don't know about the gun until we actually get our hands on it first.

3 RepliesTactically, I cannot figure out what specific role a sidearm is going to play. The limited info we have makes them appear to be low ammunition scout rifles with elemental effects. Are they for players who would like twin primary weapons and plenty of bullets to spray?. Any thoughts?.

3 RepliesThat gun looks awful, high fire rate and low impact for a pistol wtf??!!

12 RepliesI think sidearms will have limited use and life span. If it was its own 4th weapon slot itd be ok; but it takes the spot of the secondary where every other weapon is more useful. I dont see sidearms being used in a serious capacity.

1 ReplyDregs sidearm, get it?

man the impact on it is shameful

13 RepliesAlready disappointed it seems they are sticking to the high rate of fire low impact trend. With proper balancing it wouldn't be a bad thing I suppose, however there just won't be much diversity in a weapons stats and instead will be more determined by a weapons perks.

While they seem interesting, they seem to also only fill a limited niche capacity. I don't see why I'd get rid of any of my Sniper Rifles for the Sidearms, but it does allow for more variety in character builds. More variety is [u][b]never[/u][/b] a bad thing.
