My second argument being The Florentine really works well in all-purpose loadouts which appreciate having one gun slot effectively making use of two tools, being a slagging tool and a damage-dealing tool. This weapon WILL wreck a lot harder than a Slagga. Though we actually have multiple upsides to the Florentine which can make this essentially a DPS sidegrade to some people, with it’s usability being determined by the play skill of the user in collaboration with how their character plays.įirst of all The Florentine inherently generally has more synergy with a number of builds, whether that be general splash damage inclusion, making stacking elemental effects with Krieg easier, whilst multitasking for the slag, or Gaige’s shock builds boosting the damage (multiplicatively) and the comparable benefit of a shock bone of the ancients also granting a huge multiplicative buff to damage. The Florentine is not a Slagga, it is not comparable to a Slagga, and it will never be nor replace the Slagga.
Ok, so with this section, I will directly conflict the argument which is put against the Florentine, if you aren’t as into the game as myself and others, you may be unaware of how polar the opinions of this gun’s usage really are! The way in which this weapon is capable of having both elements is possible due to the initial projectile being a slagging projectile, while it’s splash damage has the shock property at 50% of the damage of the initial projectile!īecause of the fact we have this E-tech barrel, the projectile is relatively slow-moving, compared to what you would expect from something like a Jakobs revolver, this also means that it consumes an extra bullet per shot. The Florentine is a very unique seraph rarity E-tech SMG which attributes much of it’s uniqueness to it’s innate Slag AND Shock properties!
