I’m looking for very high status effect weapons for a build i’m running. Anyone know of anything i may have missed/not seen yet??
Preferably similar to this Cutsman
Any weapon, but if it doesn’t have over 1500 DoTs not interested.
Any element. Especially Fire and Radiation would be nice.
But not these shotguns either, they are really bad. Look nice carded, but suck to use.
Recursion, a Maliwan shotgun with ~ 6000 status dmg/sec
It’s great and can drop as any elemental combination.
Cool thanks. still haven’t seen one so hopefully one day RNG will bring this to me.
Kill-o-the-Wisp Legendary Maliwan Shotty. I think it’s always shock, but i have one with 10453Dmg/s on 14%.
cool cheers, will farm one see how it goes.
@schmu666 - i had one drop just now, how weird huh. It’s not got the combo i wanted, but now i can see how it works. Bit slow on firing, so would prefer a Fire or Radiation mix.
I’ve been testing what (I think) you are trying to do. The Recursion is the best. But mostly because of the chain-bouncing, not so much the DoTs.
The Kill-o-wisp has the highest I’ve seen, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to do squat.
But the Cutsman will outperform them all on single enemies, regardless of DoT’s or build on single enemies.
Try that thing on for example The Agonizer. It takes like a magazine to kill him. Its ridiculous, same with ball.
Try this build:

And use the recursion. I use it with a Cryo version and a Ice breaker relic with extra Cryo damage/chance, but you can achieve good results with any element.
I soloed Slaughter circle all rounds on MH3 with a similar build, and a recursion. It absolutely deletes rooms with single shots sometimes. I just found that my Cryo version worked best with the relics I had availible, and its pretty nice to freeze everyone so you don’t take as much damage.
Edit: You need to take Ties that bind, and stillness of mind as well. Forgot to mention.
Yeah, it’s quite powerful. High DOT + extremely high direct damage that is applied multiple times (as long as the enemy’s hitbox is in range of the beam). The bigger the enemy the more damage you can get out of this gun.
I feel like indiscriminate doesn’t work on a lot of Maliwan weapons. I don’t notice any targets hit by the cutsman.
An Incendiary Devil’s Foursum may be suited to what you’re looking for. Mine has a 20% chance to proc and deals 1,460 DoT. It deals very high damage and has a big splash radius, seriously this thing is a massively underrated mobbing gun that nobody’s talked about yet, it doesn’t care about negative modifiers or shields. I’ve had one since I hit level 50 on my first Amara, it’s truly disgusting.
IDK what other elements it can come in aside from explosive. A rad one would be, well, rad.
Cutsman doesn’t work because it doesn’t have the usual projectiles. Even if it would bounce around the low projectile speed would prevent it from hitting other targets most of the time. Most other Maliwan weapons do work, though. Cutsman, Superball, Kill-o’-the-Wisp and ASMD are exceptions.
There are also some Maliwan guns that are extremely good in combination with Indiscriminate like the Hellshock. I got some great results while dealing Fire and Shock damage at the same time.
Why don’t you like the Hyperion Shotty? I had one carry me from level 25 to 50, was still good at 50 despite being a level 25 weapon, only replaced it when I got a level 45 version. They’re fantastic in general but even better if you have one with Radiation (due to the constant explosions from the dying) and imho the most OP weapons in the game, including legendaries. Sure I occasionally killed myself with it (well maybe more than occasionally) until I got Guardian Angel, but that was a small price to pay 
So since your experience is so different from mine, I’m curious what led to your point of view? What do you perceive as their downside, other than the complex firing arc and ease of suicide?
Torgue Lasersploder is pretty fantastic.
I’m currently running that, an itchy flacker and a corrosive and fire binary cutsman as my main 4 weapons
