Most useless Legendary EVER

i had a crappy spear from tier 1 that was better than a legendary sword from tier 2.

and i still don't understand what is wrong with the random weapon generator that spit this crappy legendaries...

 

Looks like legendary weapons still need some polishing. I doubt you 'd see a 3 DPS legendary at launch.

 

Perfect,now the stats make at least sense

 

I think I found that weapon you're talking about, I actually used it to mine with for a short while too. Found it in a chest at Alpha Lesloy 441 I

It was at a massive glitch settlement, was also my new characters starting planet, When I started exploring this planet, I thought I died and went to Alpha sector heaven. The best part was the frost planet 441 Ia(I think it was a)... I found enough ore deep inside that planet to upgrade straight to diamond pickaxe(didn't though, was afraid I'd never find any more, so I just stayed at a plat pickaxe)

 

Not legendary, but i found my first gun the other day. It was a grenade launcher! Pretty sweet, except for the fact that the grenades explode after about 4 seconds. and they dont explode when they hit enemies, and they dont destroy blocks, so pretty much useless . And it's the only gun i've found on a random drop. Yay!

 

I don't have a picture but I got that same legendary sword type but rather than 3 dps mine had 4. I wonder if that's a bug then.

 

I think it has rather something to do with bad balancing. I hope they work on this some more in the next few patches.

 

Legendary weapons, despite being legendary, are still randomized.

 

I found a legendary mace and it does 9 damage. So yeah... I think the legendaries could use some love.

 

I approve of them being random,but since they are quite rare (at least in my case) i'd expect to find something that can be used practically.

 

I have one and it does 849 damage per swing. Double that with it's ability.

 

That seems quite...excessive to me

 

I have the impression that everything beyond crap weapons in quality follows no rules. Green Weapons should be better than crap ones of the same tier but they are not or not always. And everything higher is also not really related to the tier found in and it's quality.

I have the feeling that this will be fixed at some point.

 

I sure hope so. Weapon balancing as it currently is,is quite terrible.

 

they just have no idea how melee weapons work , they NEVER played dungeon siege 1 or 2 , thats why they fail to make proper melee

 

its funny as before the patch that weapon was quite good, was a 1 shot until around threat 8. Guess it got nerfed or somthing 3 damage is a bit low now!

 

Actually every single time I've found that particular sword design it's been hilariously underpowered. I've found a tier 4 and a tier 10 version and they were both way underpowered for their tier.

It's something about that particular sword, I'm sure.

 

I don't know if that is the case,since i haven't found any other legendary yet. But i've kept the sword just in case i find another one and then i can compare.

 

Could this be the hammer you were talking about?
It does shoot bones and kinda sounds like a shotgun.
