Octavia Mallet

[Toiletplumber]

I'm curious if the nerf to Octavia's Mallet is intentional or not since she was my main warframe for the longest time.  I've noticed that each pulse of the Mallet does a stagger, which on it's own sounds pretty good.  However, with a fast pulse speed it ends up instantly stun locking the entire crowd if anyone even shoots it once.  This in turn makes it impossible for further enemies to shoot the mallet until the damage runs out.  Was this an intentional thing on DE's side or just a side effect of the new status effect system?  I guess my real question is, is anyone else struggling with this like I am or am I just overthinking it?

I think it was intentional, as far as I remember the mallet does blast damage (and I see often enemies staggered by blast damage with my kuva Bramma)

By the way if your range doesn't cover the whole map, enemies outside it's range can still shoot at it because it has an higher threat level than Frames and objectives, and if you pair it with the resonator than a walking death machine has spawned on the map 😆
