Prawn drill arm vs Prawn standard claws against Leviathans

[Aikar]

I'm just wonder which one does more dps against these guys when you're doing Attack on Titan ♥♥♥♥♥ on them.

If we're talking DPS, drill.
Claw is; Punch, walt a moment, punch, wait a moment.
Drill is; constant damage.

So which one kills a, let's say, ghost leviathan faster?

[Appleorgasm]

I've had drills on a ghost leviathan for a long time and it didn't seem to do shi*t, punching was faster on a fresh ghost leviathan. Drill is constant damage, yes, but punching with a prawn seems to do more damage overall which stacks overtime.

Technically the drill's DPS is higher, but chances are you won't be able to keep the drill on-target long enough for that to really matter. At least when you're swinging around on a grapple rodeo, you'll only occasionally be within hitting distance before getting rubber-banded away from the hitbox again. In these cases, it's (hypothetically) better to use the burst damage of the claw over the better DPS of the drill, as there's going to be some down-time between attacks anyways.

EDIT: As an addendum, the drill can indeed kill ghost leviathans (or at least it used to be able to). The only issue is that it takes a really really really really really REALLY long time to actually kill the big floppy bastards...

Says the fellow with 1300 hours in Orcs Must Die! and who is currently (at time of this posting) in-game in ARMA 3...

I mean, ARMA 3 doesn't necessarily mean anything, could be a nice RP server... Or you could be RP'ing the slaughter of even more innocent orcs. How many green-tinged lives have been ended by your hand? Have you no shame?

#orclifesmatter too?

Anyway different games, different fun. Playing "Dating Simulator" for example doesn't mean you should mate with every fish in Subnautica :D

Considering the recent popularity of Shark Dating Simulator, I'm not so sure... Maybe there's something to it? I mean, the phrase is "there are plenty of fish in the sea"... Maybe we were always meant to take it a bit more literally.

Thanks for advice guys! I hope this discussion provides answers for those who were wondering the same thing as me.

No it doesn't. But it does mean you should make all the fish mate in a glass containment so you can watch.

Look, orcs *must* die. It says so right in the game's title. It's not like we have any choice in the matter. Their lives must end. Gruesomely. Horribly. In vats of acid.

Can anyone tell me how the discussion got from what the best weapon in Subnautica is to weather or not you should date fish

Wrong.

The punch is higher DPS.

There's an awful lot of people in here who think just because something is faster, means it does more DPS. That's not true at all.

Necromancy is getting a cultural revival.

It is the natural order of things.
