Mag(Netic) Buff Maybe?

[[DE]Grzegorz]

Considering the fact that both Mag and Magnetic damage are heavily focused on dealing with shields (and really, nothing beyond that) I've been considering few things that would make Mag crawl out of the dumpster and make Magnetic more viable in general gameplay (not really dethroning Corrosive but not being useful against shields only, the same shields that can be completely bypassed by toxin).

 

a) Magnetic damage.

 

Status effect disables auras and enemy special attacks.

Here, done.

 

This way, instead of being viable against shields exclusively (and this defence can be completely bypassed), Magnetic makes enemies less of a threat, preventing them from applying e.g. damage reduction, toxic and slow auras or performing ground slams that knock players down.

 

b) Mag

 

Shield Polarize forces magnetic proc on all enemies in range, coupled with Magnetic buff above, she'd be a quite useful support frame.

 

Crush could really use Finisher damage type instead of Magnetic. For the love of god, it's heavy internal trauma caused by enemy skeleton collapsing upon itself.

 

This could obviously warrant a raw damage nerf, because if it stayed the same, she kinda could easily compete with Ash's Bladestorm I presume, but besides that, this would turn Mag from exclusively anti-Corpus frame into a frame that can do some work nearly everywhere.

 

Anyone?

[(PSN)federally]

Shield polarize doesn't need a buff. It's God tier vs Corpus and useful in the Void already.

Her other skills are the ones that need work

That's actually a really lovely suggestion. +1.
