UVs for a catalyzer
Mié, 06/03/2015 - 04:12
As mentioned in my suggestion, I got a catalyzer
I know this has probably been asked before, but I've never seen a thread on it post GU
What UV would you recommend for a normal catalyzer, I'm stuck between ctr and asi

What I do
My suggestion would be to go for CTR because the charge shot is where the power is.
If for some reason you want to stack a bunch then use a swiftstrike or start practicing switch shooting. Switch shooting both types of catalyzers can get you a decent amount of damage plus a good shadow/normal/poison damage output.
______________________________
Another tactic to try is to just fire two of the clip and charge on the third.
Click, Click, Click and hold.
This way you take advantage of the catalyzer's special effect and still deal good damage to a group of enemies. If you time it right you can use the orbiting shots to knock enemies back.

ctr
CTR VH would let you wear something less risky than Chaos and still be effective, such as Shadowsun+Swifty or Nameless+another shield.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll go for ctr
@holy thanks for the tactic, I might try that once I get used to it
P.s. I just want good uvs on all my stuff, just as a crown sink and something to work for, I'm not concerned with how good the weapon is

@ Votarak
Catalyzers are currently the fastest charging weapon in the game (probably followed by the Shard bombs), you don't need CTR but it won't hurt. I would suggest getting something to help you Max damage against susceptible monsters. Constructs, Jellies, and Undead are prime targets of this weapon due to it's slow bullets.

Without just calling them garage to press people's buttons-
I've been thinking about catalyzers lately and I think that the line could be seen as a safe and spammable weapon for when you're completely overwhelmed. Because of that, I'd actually say attack speed increase- it would allow you to spam in shots faster and more importantly, shield more reliably. Charge time reduction is only really needed while detonating, and using the large bullet for damage is silly when you could instead spam another gun.
Damage would be better but would only effect one family and I'm imagining the gun leveraged against several families at once- otherwise there wouldn't be much point. It would be much better to either forgo damage or get it in more palatable forms from armor/trinkets.

Good thing I didn't try for any UVs yet, you make a great point fehzor
I did some damage searching and (unless I forgot) the charge deals more damage than a valiance charge, and has a much shorter charge time, so that looks to be fine on its own damagewise, and after using it for a couple days it looks like asi would help my tactic of "spam the regular shots for 19 seconds and charge at the last" strategy, which would benefit from stacking more tags
Looks like it'll be asi then
Enemy type damage is completely out of the question for normal guns, I should have mentioned that, even though it got slime low from crafting I'm definitely rerolling
Edit: call it garbage if you want, I used to use cobalt and antiguas so I'm used to it
You don't really need UVs on it. I certainly wouldn't spend money trying to Punch UVs on one. Just use chaos set and a swifty. Post update I would say CTR is a better choice than ASI, but even if you got a VH both it's not gonna make the gun super good or anything. It'd be like having a gold-plated stick.
