Traumtulpe

It is not, unfortunately, since the explosion has bugged line of sight. As in, the line of sight of the explosion appears to originate from the soles of your feet, and only targets enemies whose soles of their feet are within "view" of your soles. Meaning any little bump in the ground or any elevation difference makes enemies not get hit by the explosion. In theory, yes, but as I said the explosion has broken LoS so it matters not. The armor changes *would* make it good for AoE if the AoE actually worked though.

They all have the same heavy attack...

Why hello there. I assume you mean to say that you do use Temporal Anchor? Great. Then you will probably agree that it isn't very good currently.

Quite honestly, I think your behaviour here is beyond pathetic. Go have fun on your own, I'm out.

You can tell that to yourself by playing a mission while relying on it as a survival tool. It'll be very obvious.

Wow, you already forgot how you were spreading misinformation just earlier in this thread? Of course not, you're just pretending you didn't. Let me teach you something. When you are wrong, and someone corrects you, you are supposed to be thankful, not in denial.

Well I'm glad we cleared that up then. You are *not* going to back your words up at all. Like at all. Then we have the facts that you were acting as if you were knowlegeable about the ability earlier (and were giving advice that doesn't actually work at all), and that Temporal Anchor is the ability to remove from Protea for a Helminth one, as universally agreed upon by players (even yourself!), and we can safely assume that you were just sharing some fantasy or dream you saw with us. Or maybe you just wanted to be contrarian, or whatever psychological urge compelled you to misrepresent fiction as fact.

So that is a no then? That's what I thought.

I mean considering that you stated a couple of wrong things about it, and that playing with Temporal Anchor makes it instantly obvious how impractical the ability is, would lead me to believe that you are simply making things up.

Can you back that up somehow? Like, show a clip of you clearing a mission while using Temporal Anchor as a survival tool?

So literally nobody uses Temporal Anchor as their survival tool. Not a single person. You don't use Temporal Anchor at all. You continue to state, wrongly, that Temporal Anchor is an excellent survival tool. What is your endgame here?

"Rubber sponges are super tasty guys, just trust me on this. I'ver never had one obviously, but they are basically just steaks. They even taste like steaks, and steaks are the best food as everyone knows. You should really try eating a rubber sponge sometime! Their nutritional value is actually so high they fall into the category of super foods. Me? Nah, I'm good."

This. Using your 4 makes you worse/slower/less effective than ignoring it. And of course a Helminth ability is just way better in that slot - as you yourself are aware of, since you have removed her 4 and are as a result not knowledgeable about it at all. Why exactly do you keep telling other people how great that one ability is that you removed, just like everybody else? It's not good. That's why everyone removes it. Why do you spread missinformation about something you are not even qualified to speak about in the first place?

Well, we haven't heard from a single player in this thread who is using Temporal Anchor. So I guess it's just trash then. And you in particular have just been wrong about everything, like your "helpful tips" of preventing the knockdown with PSF (which doesn't work) or to switch the tap/hold setting of Temporal Anchor (doesn't work), or you judging TA to be very powerful because it's Protea's "cheat death" ability (it isn't).

It doesn't do that either in my experience. You can totally die right at the end of the rewind. Why exactly are you defending an ability that you are clearly not using, but from your complete inexperience of it, and by your admission that you *do* in fact have subsumed over it? Shouldn't you be like "Yeah, I got rid of Temporal Anchor because I never used it anyway, *exactly* like you said Traumtulpe. You are 100% correct in your assessment."?

Tell me you've never used Temporal Anchor without telling me you've never used Temporal Anchor. PSF does not, in fact, ignore the knockdown, for once. Just go and play Protea, and you will *very* quickly stop using Temporal Anchor. And then you'll subsume something else over it since you're not using it anyways.

So you're telling me you want to spend 100 energy *just in case* you die within the next 8 seconds, and if you would have, you *want* to get knocked down in a compromised position, likely getting you killed anyway? Now *that* is funny, because I just throw down three shield satelites for 25 energy and don't worry about all of that crap.

They could just have it last indefinitely, with what is currently the duration changed to an interval at which a new save point is created. At least then you didn't have the whole "hold to cancel, then recast for 100 energy every couple of seconds" nonsense going on that the ability kind of expects you to do as it currently is. I mean *clearly* you don't want to get rewinded during gameplay, basically ever, so the rewind should really only be something you actively activate when you want and a failsave on death, not something you have to constantly struggle with to avoid.

No it's not. Also that's what your shield satelites are for. Just think a moment what you're even saying, you are proposing that as Protea you should keep casting an ability that costs 100 energy and protects you from death for 6 seconds, but with massive downsides (rewind, knockdown, hold-to-cancel every 6 seconds). Assuming you don't need it because of the shield satelites, you just wasted 18 energy per second and a lot of meaningless button presses for nothing. Assuming it actually procced you just got rewinded to somewhere you don't want to be, are still down 100 energy and are lying on your ass. It's just lose-lose no matter what you do with this ability.

Temporal Anchor just needs a rework full stop. It is currently not an ability worth using, much less one worth 100 energy. (Basically) anything is does is done better by Dispensary, the explosion has completely borked LoS, and the physical rewinding is just atrocious.

No. I'd rather never play Warframe ever again ever than that. Yep, that's exactly the problem. The random crap is prone to be literally incapable to even clear the first round without running out of ammo. Anyone denying the issue is, well, in denial. If you're better off using the operator than a gun, clearly something is wrong with the gun.

There's a difference between something having relevant rewards, and something exlusively having the literal best rewards in the entire game. If the circuit offered you Forma blueprints at the same pace that fissures do, how many people would play circuit over fissures? Probably very few!

Thank you for proving me right I guess.

Yes I did! I actually already deleted that though.

Nevermind.
