are maelstrom weapons worth it?

Maelstrom lightning/fire staves are still worth it. They buff your light attacks, and light attacks should be your top damage. Maelstrom lightning/fire staves are still worth it. They buff your light attacks, and light attacks should be your top damage.

Even though it's not quite top of its class, it's still a great weapon. The high reach makes it very satisfying to use. There's also a mod exclusive to the Jat Kittag that causes AoE damage equal to a percent of the slain enemy's health. Definitely a strong, viable weapon, worth more than mastery fodder.

They are some of the best weapons in the game and the unique stat bonuses they offer alone are worth it. The main purpose of Royal Arms is to equip them for the additional attributes. Some uses Bow of the Clever with Ignis's Overwhelm. But that's about it.

In overall Bound weapons are great until you reach some serious level, but takes some perks to use them at good rate. In vanilla game it is recommended to switch to normal weapons at some point. Not just, because Smithing can make better weapons, but those weapons can be enchanted.

Regarding Kjarr weapons, they are not all good and there are some taroth weapons which are better. The claw is still the best option for raw, but you are in luck because the kjarr fire ice dragon are very good and you will be using them, the water and thunder are hot garbage so you will do better with the claw.

It's definitely not cheap, but the benefits are well worth it. Having the ability to consistently get weapons, especially ones that look as cool as the ancient weapons do, can be a lifesaver late in the game.

Taeshalach dropped in LFR. Given that all three weapons drop according to the same basic system, I'd say that yes, you can still get all three on LFR. The drop rate does seem to be really low though.

If you have trouble seeing the front sight to the point it is difficult to tell if it is in the notch of the rear sight or on the target, then yes it is definitely worth it. If you can still reliably do head shots at 30 yards with steel sights then I would say no, it's not worth the cost.

Yes, but unfortunately for you, it's not as good on slow weapons such as the GS. Blast builds up on a meter, like the other status effects, so hitting faster builds it faster, resulting in a more frequent payoff.

Is ascended armor worth the time/gold/effort? If you like the skin and value the fact that they're account bound. For weapons, it's absolutely worth it. None of them are as painful as armour (Damask can go die in a fire), and the damage boost is plenty noticable compared to Exotics of the same stats.

The ZX-1 is good for gaining stacks of Maniacal Laughter with Claptrap. The ZX-1 also excels at gaining stacks of Maelstrom with Athena. With proper investment into her skill tree Ceraunic Storm, Athena can easily attain 500+ stacks with this weapon alone.

Not all attachments will necessarily be to a player's liking, and neither will the weapons. Finding a gold Legendary standard weapon early on can make a huge difference, but mid-to-late game players should stick with their favorites so long as it's kitted out. Legendary exclusive weapons are different altogether.

Yes, they are worth it, but get an SSA for a general purpose rifle, the SSA-E is more of a precision trigger. If you aren't representing Jesus in a way that makes people want to hang out with you, you're doing it wrong. Worth it, yes.

It is absolutely not worth it for use as a weapon. That said, some of them are hella rad glamour. If you want it for Glamour, then I say go for it. Other then that, they are not worth it.

The fire ifrit is a must want as it can deal with annoying passives(i.e Camilla). The wind seems to be PvE oriented, but yes they're worth the 4500 gp.

High recoil, small magazine size, lengthy reload time and a riven disposition of only one out of five. Objectively speaking, the weapon is good and I would recommend it for players around mastery rank eight but higher up the ladder you will find more powerful secondary weapons.

They are worth it. Honestly no they are only useful at zulrah and even then it's only a slight dps increase. It's magic accuracy not damage so the effect is minimal. I got mine first and have no other boots so take this however you want.
