Developer Digital Extremes introduced the new Ghoul Saw weapon when Nidus Prime Access was launched earlier this month. That said, the devs feel that the weapon needs more power. Hence, they’ve released Hotfix 30.7.5 recently to buff the Ghoul Saw considerably when initiating combos using the Butcher’s Revelry Stance.
According to the folks at DE, they wanted to increase the lethality of the Ghoul Saw based on player feedback. They believe that improving combo damage is a step in the right direction, so that is why straight up increased the damage multiplier of certain attack combinations.
For instance, the second hit of the Rip ‘n Ride combo has its damage multiplier increased to two. Also, the Reciprocator combo’s third hit in the second attack adds a guaranteed slash proc, which should improve your overall damage considering that the Ghoul Saw is a high-status value weapon.
What this all means is they incentivize those who execute the full suite of attacks available under the Butcher’s Revelry stance.
