SSR Pride is 1% Assault per 5% health lost. So at 85% HP it's at SR Assault levels and at 70% HP it's at SSR Assault levels.

Vigor on the other hand gives the full effect at 100% HP, half effect already at ~83% HP, and ZERO damage at 50% health or below.

Vigor is far stronger than Assault, but in return, you really, really, REALLY need to be at full health at all times to make use of it.

"Set" increase? Pride has that from skill levels - the same amount of Assault that you get from Assault weapons. Vigor does not.

That's not what makes Pride good. Lowered HP in Pride just means bonus damage, nothing more, nothing less. What you care about is that it's gives you Assault at all times.

Just wanted to check one point in your statement. If I have a Pride weapon at skill level 10 and I'm at full health, this is the same as having an Attack bonus of 5%. If I have the same weapon at 80% HP, I now have a weapon with an Attack 9% and if I'm at 50% health I have an Attack bonus of 15%?

Wow... that's actually fucking awesome!!

Correct, correct, correct.

As I've always said, Prides are GOOD. Their constant Assault is plenty good, plus they come to your aid when you need them the most.

And it should be noted that these values are less for Pride(+) and Pride(). We don't have many of those weapons yet, but they scale less. It's... slightly more complicated and I don't remember how exactly it works, but they're still good.

Pride(M).. or Pride(+) if we go with the silly taco system has the same base assault as the large skill, but the assault increase on HP loss gets cut to its 60%. So instead of 1%/5% HP loss, you get only 0.6%/5% HP loss.

Pride(S) gets the above described scaling cut and a decrease in base assault as well. This means 0.35% assault gained / SL, instead of 0.5%. Which results in 7% base assault at SL20.

by the sound of that, not even sure if Pride(S) is worth it....

(+) sounds like it's cutting it close...

probably depends on if the weapon has two abilities... (more so if one is pride, and the other ups two at once)

I wouldn't underestimate Pride(S) either. Typically, you'll only ever see/use Pride (S) in FLB weapons, where, due to 30 slvls, it's basically 10.5% more assault and +3% every 25% hp lost. There are a couple of FLB weapons that has this along with Assault L as the main skill, and it's basically some of the best weapons you can get because you're looking at something that gives 31.5% + assault in one slot.

Although I think the first event SSR with Pride (S) that we'll see is Medjed gun, and that's Defender (L)/Pride (S). Still viable due to the Defender at least. And since Medjed's an advent and the gun is the main/cheaper SSR for it, there should be an FLB some years later.

yeah, that's the time when pride is no problem.... assault/pride mix is the biggest assault increases you can ever get.


god forbid there ends up an FLB weapon with assault, pride, and vigor all in one... i do know some weapons get two effects merged into one skill, effectively making it a triple weapon in a way
