    Hardlight was quite a good dps for a long time. Once you get the clipping down it is quitenexcellent. They have messed up some stuff recently but it is still one of the games top dps powers. My loadout always was ram ,snap trap, claws, robot sidekick, personal shield and the airstrike (cant remember the names off hand.)

    Electric is very good for DPS, any powrset once mastered is beast. But tbh yea HL is a beast power set and is very easy to use and takes little "mastering" to put up good numbers. Who cares about numbers tho?!

    Read Omaar's HL guide to DPS, and you'll see that the robot sidekick doesn't qualify for a facepalm.
    He breaks the numbers down and it's actually quite effective believe it or not.

    Its weak and a waste of a power, unless you are concerend with the extra few hundred damage on the scorecard, which would be pathetic

    to each his own....o wait, i guess its more like - whatever the guides say

    I use it because it does a bit of extra damage and takes up a power spot that I don't have any other use for, anyway. Also, it's not such a waste of power since you just have to pop it once and it stays up the entire raid.

    your the only one who said electric is good lol.. i have it now but people say its the lowest DPS rank out of them all..

    The little robot hits for deceht numbers in a fight and has enough health that you wont get hit by aoes as hard becquse it splits damage

    I'm going to have to assume you haven't DPSed with Hard Light. You're left over with 2 slots you can fill with whatever you'd like. The overall best choices were the shield and sidekick robot (for additional free damage). For the record, I only started using the sidekick robot after whirling dervish was nerfed.

    Few hundred damage? You really need to brush up on your math. Go read the guide and see how much damage it does within a specific time frame, and stop drinking the haterade.

    Edit: There are other options as well, such as Chainsaw/Grasping and etc., if you are looking for other builds.

    Check out the Hard Light guide.

    w
    what loadout are u using?
  17. PerfectLegend Dedicated Player


    Ram, SnapTrap, Claws, Strafing run. The other two are up to you. Go check out the Hard Light guide in Oracle's database to see what other possible fillers you can use, since someone giving you a loadout isn't going to help you master it. It takes a lot of practice, but it's fun and worth it :). For a visual idea on how to DPS with Hard Light you can view my YouTube videos. Fair warning though, I'm not super "beast." The guide on these forums will give you a great idea on combo's you may use and in what situations.

    Trust me im not the only person that is good with electric, there are many great electric players. It is most def not the lowest ranking powerset, whatever that means
