It kills me everytime

Nothing hurts more than stacking every possible damage buff you have at your disposal and finally get 20 stacks of worms hunger and once you shoot at the boss, it pulls some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ teleport/ you die at the last second/immune phase.

Oh, I don't know. How about, the game has gone platinum, the three of you have done very well when "WAIT, WTF? Why am I not damaging anything? POOF, back to the loading screen! Welcome to the disappointment zone, your ISP has just dropped the ball, you have no internet connection, but that's OK, you get it back, too late to rejoin.

First mistake is using Parasite for literally anything besides Atraks

Yeah nothing like getting 10-ish kills so that my heavy deals a tiny bit more damage than an explosive light rocket. Parasite is literally only usable for Atraks, nothing else. Nowhere else in the game is burst DPS of 3 seconds worth it.

to me the worst thing in the game is having to play a dungeon solo and fighting a boss that takes at minimum six phases by yourself, but probably around eight to ten realistically, and then getting stuck on a metal pipe and dying to a stray harpy while said boss is at like 9% health

No way it's taking minimum SIX phases to kill the spire boss? What dps are you even using?

I mean it's a bit hyperbolic but yeah? And if you go rocket+grenade+rocket on a Demo+EL rocket you're doing almost the same as a parasite 20x shot, and you can continue to do damage.

Parasite is unusable because you burn your heavy AND exotic slots on something that is gonna do a single chonk of damage once every minute or so depending on the area. Consistent DPS feels 100x better than burst with the SINGLE exception of Atraks.

tested in the bunker E15 lost sector on europa with a direct impact in both cases:

parasitex20:
~211 000 + ~53 000 impact

explosive light blowout
~105 000+ ~30 000 impact

a tiny bit twice the damage

This is not a question of feelings at this precise point. It's numbers and math.

Saying that aatrax is the only situation where burst damage comes into consideration .. is either only considering dungeon and raid bosses, or incredibly shortsigthed.

Parasite at max stacks you need to prep, so you'll only get 1 useful shot off. EL Rockets you can spam with autoload/demo. It does half the damage but you can shoot it FAR more often, so the DPS is better unless the damage phase is literally 3 seconds long like in Atrax.

Honestly I don't get how you don't understand that i use it for fun, you are flinging a funni wurm at the bad men and watching get deatomized from our reality, i it puts out enough big damage for my liking like chunking the final bosses of the new battleground missions for example, if i was really interested in rocking meta i'd just stick with linier's/rockets.

Parasite deserves justice, it was so sad seeing everyone collectively unequip parasite on week 3 as it set in that there was no secret combo or bypass for the one shot limit, just a big, sad, lonely, high damage worm. Auto loading for parasite!

[Urpsyne]

I will agree that Parasite doesn't have many good use cases. But I also hate that it's the cause of a lot of people not knowing how to do Atraks properly.

If you use holster mods you can get the auto-loading effect (unless they patched it with LF)
