It actually moves faster than you, if you give it enough time to. Around 30m, you won't see the difference. But you'll notice it once you've moved 40m+ (Race it in OW, and you'll notice what I mean). It's also a useful tool to reach places which are out of reach, if you don't feel like climbing around or wall jumping a lot. 

do you think it would be too much if say she assumed the control of the decoy allowing you to move around and use breach surge to get a better sense of where to teleport and if you dont teleport you just go back to where your body is?

if sol gate did bad damage i wouldnt be able to kill 160 corrupted bombards which in fact i still can. they increased tic rate which most people were asking for. you are looking for press 4 to win. the thing i like best about wisp is you have to put some effort in to get alot of damage 3+4 kills anything.

I clearly say i don't want that because i hate that. i've tried with 224 % str (balanced) and 264 i think now (just a test not full build). From before i honestly see nothing much better than before. Ofc "Effort". Don't talk about effort in this game . ther's not really room for that . That was just an opinion, and i also said "FOR EXAMPLE" I didn't ask for something directly. And pls stop write about "effort" when actually your "effort" is test something in simulacrum instead in a real mission , endless or not. I know Sol gate deal some damage ecc but in my opinion is not enough. And is not even far away from be good without be a "Press 4 , move your mouse, gg" (mesa).

you mad that i used a tool DE provided for us to test build output? get real. effort is a real thing in this game. look at nidus. you have to build stacks before virulence even becomes a wrecking ball. hydroid requires either players shoot into undertow or using tempest barrage over the top of undertow at which point it deletes enemies.

you definitely want press 4 win if you even think sol gate's damage is not good enough (which in fact it is).

I have nothing against simulacrum, i use it like many other players do. BUT you (in general) can't use the simulacrum and say "oh well here works fine, it will works fine too in every other single situations". Simple no. So many differences, variants.

It's a fact because YOU say that? Because many other, even more players that actually don't use forums think exatly the opposite. I clearly state that i don't want a press 4 to win, Like Mesa ecc ecc because i don't like it and i don't use warframe that have an ability like that. So really, grow up and stop repeat that. Is not really educate make a statement like that. You are not in my mind, you don't know me.

Enter mission, press 2 press 1. this is not Effort. is this truly effort? Oh god please bless this guy. I can understand Hydroid but Nidus?

[Czin]

Why not add a condition for deploying all 3 reservoirs? When moving with a squad or even just 1 teammate having to reposition all 3 requires too many button presses. Maybe if you are crouched you can hold 1 to deploy one of each at once?

Btw, it seems to draw aggro for me just fine. It actually works better than saryn's molt for me. Just don't hold 2, and it won't move too fast

Why do you keep telling this to people when it's just not true? What in the world is the point of posting 2+ times each page telling people they are wrong?

You found an exploit. You are making it tic well beyond it's normal rate, which is the problem in the first place. In fact: your test shows the only problem with Sol Gate damage wise is that it tics too slowly. Yeah if it were to tic not +30% faster, but like you are showing about +500% (12 times per second is the magical number for beam weapons) as fast is the ballpark of useful. What's great is with punch through this should be even more hillarious for group swiping. The problem is this will become the mainstream use, right before the design team that for some reason hard coded twice a second tic rate into it decides to just remove the part that allows for the exploit, while mutually forgetting that it will do no damage thereafter. Something like, the beam only increasing in damage if it hits the same target consecutively, because if they do that, there goes your system.

Don't worry, you can do the same thing with just intensify, or none if you so choose. The idea is every time the beam leaves an enemy, putting the beam back on it causes a tic of damage. So basically why they changed beam weapons in the first place, there is no reason to do anything but move the beam on and off an enemy in order to increase the damage. Do it faster than twice a second? You have increased the damage/corrosive procs of the ability. Do this for a group, and you can cause many more hits than you could otherwise cause by just leaving it there. The extra benefit is the "increases damage the longer you use it on the same enemy" is per tic of damage, and not limited to a single continuous beam, of damage so doing this exponentially increases the damage in just a few seconds.

I see that, and yes i've tried that. In fact i never stay on one enemy at time. I move the cursor a lot, wnyay the Heat damage proved some cc so you are "free" (not free at all but ok) to move , increase the tick ecc. But even in that case is not enough in many situations sadly. tomorrow, or better today when i will log in again i will try better .

Yeah, it's not really that kind of exploit. They haven't even messed with those that legitimately exploited the Operation by cheesing Demolysts. Just about the only thing gonna get you in trouble exploiting is plat related. For example recently the Neural Sensor droprate was a little cray from Amalgams, Rebecca even hit up the GD post herself saying it was not intentional and not staying, sure enough patchnotes got rid of the problem. Was the Tenno that pointed it out, or anyone in the thread banned? No, it just got removed.

Oh I 100% agree. They at least slightly buffed the ability today, but I'm not sure it's addressing the core issue of armor. It is just something while it finds its place in the game. 

[Aliothale]

I still think the drain should've been increased 1.5x or 2x  and Corrosive added to Sol Gate damage. >.<

At people complaining about their power strength builds, please stop... you're doing so very wrong. 

[Xavori]

So further testing on Sol Gate.

First, I have 304% ability strength and 199% ability duration with 300 energy total which are the relevant stats for this power.

Just using Sol Gate, I cannot kill a level 130 Bombard Eximus before running out of energy.

Using Sol Gate with all 3 Reservoir buffs, you still cannot kill the Bombard Eximus UNLESS YOU GET CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THE SHOCK MOTE TO PROC.  Basically, without stealth damage, it still sucks.  However, as soon as that shock mote procs and the bombard starts quivering, it's over in one or two damage procs of the beam.

Using Sol Gate with all 3 Reservoir buffs and holding down the fire button.  I ran out of energy without killing it.  In fact, it was worse than the non-shock mote previous test because your energy consumption scales up much faster than the damage.  Even with the shock mote proc'ing, it was worse but at least it died then.

Conversely, I can one shot that same bombard eximus using a good weapon.  This takes no energy at all, and it happens much, much faster than anything I can do with Sol Gate.

So ya, Wisp does not have a 4th power.   She doesn't have a 3rd power either because shock mote is actually a better CC than that power, and it costs no energy after the first time you drop your reservoir.

Exatly. Ofc i don't pretend to kill and Eximus level 130 Bombard with one tick of Sol Gate, but i want , or better hope, a Sol Gate with actually damage vs heavy units. At least when you Amp. the Sol gate, with the mouse, it deal more damage yes. but for me the main problem are tick rate and damage ramp up. Damge ramp up over time is good, but if is too slow most of the time you are gonna die using Wisp 4 ability. I 'm also open to spent even more energy for the Amp mode, but in excange having more damage, enough damage to deal with Bombard , heavy gunner, without oneshotting them like ther's no tomorrow.

The thing is, it's unlikely DE is ever going to give us damage equivalent to what you can do with weapons.  This is in spite of the fact that practically any melee weapon can be built to have vastly superior DPS to offensive abilities, cost no energy, and because they're melee, have unlimited ammo.  It gets even more lopsided when you remember that Wisp has on demand stealth, and Warframe has a 700% stealth damage bonus.  She also has that attack rate bonus, so again, more lopsided.  By any measure weapons are better than abilities which is why I so often snark about Warframe being Generic 3rd Person Shooterframe.

There is absolutely no reason to ever use any warframe offensive ability that is purely ability-oriented with the exception of Saryn's spores (because they have no limit on how high they'll scale).  The hybrid DPS abilities like Titania's Razorwing or Mesa's Peacemaker work because they can be modded to be comparable to regular weapons.  Other than that, tho, pick a good weapon, pick a warframe that can self buff (ie. Mirage) damage and go with that rather than ever trying to make the abilities work.

That's not even close to being true.  I left my decoy in the dust when I started to suspect the problem and actually tested it.  We're talking less than half as fast as Wisp can move.

And no, it doesn't draw aggro for long unless you fire it at a wall, ceiling or such.  So that's what I do when I want it to pull aggro.  Usually tho, all I want is the stealth, so I just fire it upwards.  This stealths me, keeps the minions right next to me, and then I blast them in the face.

Seriously, are you guys actually holding 2? Because what you're describing sounds like the speed her clone moves, when you only press it to be a decoy. Yes it's slow if you only press it, but if you *HOLD* the button it actually moves faster than you. You'll only outpace it right at the start, but she seems to go faster the longer she's out.

Hold it in open world, in open space, and actually try to outrun it before the timer runs out. Halfway through, her clone will beat you.

[-Amaterasu-]

I'd like to suggest adding an aim/zoom function to Sol Gate. It doesn't actually need to zoom but it would reduce the visual effect so you can have not black energy and still see what you're looking at. I'd prefer if it were a toggle like this rather than go full Mirage and ruin the ability so we can still enjoy the visual if we want.

That said most of the time I'm just staring at my mini map to find out where I'm going and can't help but wonder if Primed Animal Instinct was made specifically with this ability in mind.

So fun! I initially thought i'd get on here and say she was too strong, if you pump ability strength to the max her buffs are SOO strong and she gets to share them!! But the more I play her the more I realize she can be very fragile too. It is a good trade off. Get stuck out without your buffs 40 minutes into a high level survival and it is hard to recover. Her passive really helps with how fragile she can be but in a way that requires you to be active, which is fun. She'll encourage more team work and be very useful while doing it.

you are typically invisible as long as the decoy is active enemies dont even attack or shoot in the direction of your real body.

just need reservoirs to fit the mobility the frame and we are good to go (aside from bug fixes of course).

The only thing you need against Grineer is the Haste Mote buff (eventhough I hate the fact damage ability need to have armor shred to be viable) and a short ramp up time. I can kill a lv 165 Corruted Heavy Gunner (Leech Eximus) which has far more ehp with less than 200% strength in a reasonable amount of time. Weapon ttk is still superior (especially because her own buff increase dps as well) but the damage ramp up, punch through and aoe make it very competitive even against fully modded weapons.

Maybe it feels weaker compared to weapons between lv 100-150 because the armor shred is very consistent. There isn´t much of a difference in ttk between a lv 130 and 165 bombard which indicates good scaling into high level.

In my opinion Sol Gate feels much better now. Not perfect but definitely one of the better and more important reasonable ultimates in terms of gameplay. It can compete with weapon dps (which should be the main goal) but isn´t as absurdly broken as things like Peacemaker, Exalted Blade or Miasma.

For Breach Surge I´d prefer if the aoe is around a targeted location not herself though.

And more endo... so much endo.

Ill be switching energy siphon for growing power aswell once I get one.

For now I will be maxing out Transient Fortitude, Blind Rage and Umbral Intensify.

Ill probably put the one last point into primed continuity for now until I can get another umbral forma then Ill finish the rest.

So far so good. This might be the one of the frames I had the least complain about. Though shocking mote's CC is so strong it makes leveling in Hydron extra slower because no enemy can actually move and people won't stop using shocking mote......

Anyway, since all of the buffs are on the reservoirs and almost every time all 3 buffs need to be refreshed all together. Can we just add a "Hold longer to summon all 3 reservoirs" function to #1 ability?

It works like this: For example, when you hold #1, it summons the the vitality mote. If you continue to hold #1 it summons haste mote, and hold even longer to summon the shocking mote.
