Elemental as a secondary

Secret World Legends General Discussion

I returned to SWL a little over a month ago and have been puttering around, trying to find a build I like.

My primary is pistol which pretty much provides all the debuffs needed for solo content. The only elemental skills I’m using are Living Flame and Mjolnir.

A lot of things have changed since I last played, including a lot weapons and talismans. Most of the information on the internet pre-dates those changes.

So my question is, is what’s a good elemental weapon to use as a secondary? I currently have an orange 3 pip basic elemental weapon, but also have a purple 3 pip Third Age Channeler, and a blue 2 pip Voltaic Shunt. I’m currently using the orange weapon, but of course, I need to replace it with something better.

Of those three weapons, it appears to me that the Voltaic Shunt is the best of those options, if I can obtain a 3 pip version (or purchase Aurum to upgrade it, which I’m fine with). None of the elemental weapons currently available on the AH seems to be better. There are only three, at this moment.

Voltaic Shunt of Havoc / Destruction is numerically one of the best for dps, tied with Orochi thermal inverter I believe, however since it’s in offhand the difference between MK II and III is very minimal so unless you absolutely want to minmax, or if your suffix is something else like energy, spending a 3 pip imbuer on it borders on complete waste of Aurum.

Thank you both for the responses!.

The blue two pip I have has the suffix “of Energy”. I’m using elemental as a secondary for now and I have no aspirations to do group content, much less raiding, so it sounds like it will suffice for my purposes.

Thank you both again for your responses! Leveling up a weapon to replace the orange 3 pip basic weapon is a time consuming task. Obviously, I was clueless when I did it, which was when SWL was first released and I’m even more clueless now. :confused:
