I personally think this augment either needs a buff, needs to be an exilus mod or needs to be added as a baseline tap/hold functionality for merulina.
You lose access to your increased mobility, immunity to enemy CC, Merulina Guardian augment (200% fire rate and reload speed is too insane to give up in my opinion), invincibility on merulina dying and an entire mod slot.
And you gain access to your primary and melee, easier access to helminth abilities, not having to deal with the most bugged ability in the game and a SINGLE sea snare projectile every 2 seconds that doesn't get shot if you are moving.
Like to me that's just not a fair trade-off, why do we have to give up so much to be able to do something every other frame can do baseline? Even Titania can use helminth abilities while on archwing.
Not having to deal with so many game breaking bugs and a very awkward movement ability (specially in some tilesets) is nice, but then again i have to use a mod for that? Why not fix her bugs instead? I love driving merulina but sometimes it's frustrating.
And please, a SINGLE sea snare every 2 seconds? Let's not pretend that's not the most pathetic upside ever, specially on such a buggy ability like sea snares (it loves to float around happily doing nothing most of the time instead of chasing enemies, even with a high amount of range and the enemies being directly on top of it), and yeah, you can scale it down to 0.5 seconds with max efficiency, at which point it finally feels decent but then again you are stacking efficiency on yareli which feels horrible, like what else is that gonna be good for? Spamming your 4? The ability that will suck in a single enemy at most in a room with 20 enemies even with max range because it just doesn't work?
Like don't get me wrong i love this frame and love to be able to go on foot every now and then to use certain more precise weapons, play on trash tilesets or if i dont feel like dealing with the gamebreaking bugs that day, but it just feels like yareli players are getting the short end of the stick as usual, and it's frustrating.
I wish they would make meru shoot more sea snares, shoot while moving or decrease shot CD, and fix the insane bugginess of sea snares, i wish her 4 would work and i wish her 3 was more interesting, but maybe that's asking too much.
Sorry for the huge rant, just a passionate yareli player.
