i think holo will still use rifle for ranged damage and use holo mode to close combat just like reaper in pvp

i dont think so unless you know something about rifle buffs that i dont know. sword has a gap closer, and more importantly photon has a 2 sec cd gap closer.

yeah but rifle is outdated and elite spec weapons usually end up being just plain stronger. even in their worst positions as 2 skill offhands.

gl getting past stability, reflects, evades, and blocks while you cc yourself though. :/

I do think that Photon Forge is very like Reaper Shroud, the similarities are crazy.

  • Longer than standard 130 melee range autos
  • Gap closer #2
  • Stability (when traited) #3
  • Multi-hitting condition spike #4
  • Point blank AoE CC #5

It’s very obviously based on Reaper Shroud

The quickness on sword (and lasting longer based on heat) is a compelling enough reason alone for me to seriously look at sword. Especially when I get to keep the meat and potatoes of Engi condi with the pistol offhand.

Rifle is NOT a ranged weapon for Engie.

It’s not really the new Reaper unless it gets a second health bar like Reaper’s Life Force. Without that it will have a very different feel and playstyle.
