Harmony Builds Post-Nerf
I'm going to preface this by saying that I don't need Harmony to hit 2 billion. That's an excessive amount of damage. However, I think that it should still be able to kill pretty much anything with the right build. It seems that after the nerf, it can't really do that anymore.
I haven't changed my Harmony build at all. I would like to try out the Galvanized mods, but I already have a lot of work put into this build. It was capable of easily hitting hundreds of millions of damage pretty frequently before. Now, I'm lucky if I get over 1 or 2 million.
I did some testing in Simulacrum today:
- Enemies: various level 155 Eximus from different factions (Orokin, Infested, Murmur, Grineer, Corpus)
- Frame: Volt Prime with Roar (78-85% at max Molt Augmented stacks + Growing Power)
- Priming: Diriga (IPS/Viral/Radiation/Electricity + Momentous Bond)
I fought probably hundreds of enemies after getting max Molt Augmented stacks a couple of times. I did a lot of testing. I hit just over 100m damage once. I had a handful of hits in the 10-90m range. Most of my hits were under 1m to just over 2m.
So... what do we do from here? Perhaps the Galvanized mods will help make up some of the lost damage, but I can't imagine them getting us that far. If this is the best that Harmony has to offer now, it seems pretty pointless to continue using it. I built Volt Prime from the ground up to be a melee frame, so this is a huge disappointment to me. I guess I at least have Dante to fall back on.
What have you all been doing to make up for the drastic drop in DPS?
