Why does Slash feel so weak now?

[Xytan]

It used to be so good last update. Hitting a crit and seeing slash drain all a SP Heavy Gunner's HP was so satisfying, but now :(

Larger HP values means slash will feel weaker.

I see a lot of people saying viral+heat is good. Personally, I've had corrossive+blast on my main horde clearer for now.

Armor is capped at 2700/90% DR, so armor stripping is less necessary (and any partial stripping is stronger)

Yeah. Bad modder here, my ignis that is viral heat can now take out lvl 60 enemies quickly.
It used to take a lot longer

Blast did receive quite a rework with the proc triggers going kaboom, went from using a Latron Prime with a viral/slash status proc build to a high radius blast/heat kuva ogris

Oh, so there was a big status rework when I returned for the Jade Shadows quest...

I just know Slash was crazy back when dante was the latest update when you procced it and each proc deleted hp bars one second. Now it looks like it just drains it slowly

Aw, bigger hp sucks. But at least it's nice to know armor has a cap now for grineer, so maybe SP grineer are going to be much more squishy :)

What kind of results are you getting with that out of curiosity? What content can you reasonably clear? I haven't gotten much time to play around with mods since the update. Just been doing the event with the time I've spent in WF.

As Reginald said bigger health means Slash doesn't appear to do as much as before. Heat and Blast are great DoT & Instant Damage effects respectively.

If you want to make individual builds for each faction then I would suggest: Viral/Corrosive for Grineer, Magnetic for Corpus, and Blast for Infested. Sentient and Murmur are both weak to Radiation. Before it was a pain to switch between builds but since they added the ability to switch between builds at the map it's viable to make individual builds for factions now. Just don't forget the faction mods.

All status effects except magnetic are good

You can make a build out of any of them with arcanes .

This new melee weapon Harmony has made blast electric with melee influence just insane , and if you gonna throw in nourish to give it viral . ... OH boy !!!
