Do you make elemental weapons?

[forcecomdr]

Everything but thunder seems like a luxury.

I mean, sure it'd be nice to have specific weapons to counter giants and mini bosses, but the time and resources you'd waste getting them feels pointless.

Fenrir is immune to all ele damage, so no point in that.
Overworld mobs die pretty easy to even basic weapons, no much point there.
Giants... well, it can be helpful, but those can be whittled down without a specific elemental type.

What is the point of void weapons? Am i missing something?
Useless against the night raids and fenrir, are there even thunder mobs to use this against? Making these just in the off chance you get a thunder giants seems kinda silly.

I make a fire maul every game. Naked Rune(s) + Fire Mauls 'E' ability = dead jotnar(minus fire) + Fenrir.
Half the time the weapon is a quest reward at blue tier already for completing a hideout(which you need to do anyway), the other half I run through the desert, find desert Fafnir, and just spend x amount of souls to purchase the few parts Im missing. Takes me virtually no extra time to make, and I easily put out some of the highest damage in the match, which in turn, saves a ton of time on progression.
Fenrir isn't immune to all ele damage, he's only resistant to lightning(and possibly dark? haven't tested as I find dark is rather pointless as well) Otherwise, he takes normal damage from the elements(meaning there is no up/down arrow, he's not vulnerable/resistant).

can confirm fenrir has no weaknesses and resists lighting only.

[forcecomdr]

Well, my point was you don't gain an advantage using a particular ele with him. = )

The only non-elemental weapon above blue rarirty is fenrir's sword.

I agree that getting other weapons other than lightning is pretty much luxury or chance. On my last run I beat it solo on day 7 with just a Nornir Axe II; something that is super easy to come by. But if you get the right Jotun, the legendary weapons all tend to be pretty good. But the dark weapons, and the non legendary weapons besides the Nornir Axe aren't really worth farming the materials for. Unless you're in survival and have the time to do so. Or if you don't care about winning quickly.

I think it would be nice if there were a little more weapon variety. I love fire swords in general but I never really need to build one because by the time I can, I can just build one of the other legendary weapons instead.

[forcecomdr]

Yeah, the entire line of dark weapons seem almost pointless... yet they have so many of them.
I'd like to see this get tweaked a bit. Make the other dmg types actually worth getting... or easier to get.
Usually i just get a thunder axe II then the highest dmg weapon i can get for Fen and that's about all you need.
Same with the Rune system, feels to random. Sometimes i have good ones, other times i have next to nothing. But that's another thread i guess.

The fire hammer and void sword have better dps but only when you get lucky & get multiple damage boosting runes to empower their abilities.

Honestly though both these weapons would be more powerful if they both did thunder damage. If there was a thunder weapon that scaled well with runes it would be the only weapon anyone used because the two criteria for weapons are;

A. Does it do thunder damage?

B. Do the abilities scale well with runes?

[forcecomdr]

I rarely get good runes it seems. Why would thunder not scale and how do you know?

Honestly the way the numbers work in this game mystifies me. Even without any bonus damage traits the damage you do seems way off from what is listed. A lower number i'd chalk up to a partial resist, or mitigation, but a weapon can say 150 damage, but hit for 500. I'd say it was a crit, but it will do it on every swing.

the dmg is not calculated the POWER is therfore youd have to do a lot of mathmatical calculations to find what the power factor turns into raw DAMAGE basicly an annoying thing to do to figure out how much something will actully do in damage for no reason other than why not...
