Augment Slot & Stance Forma

[Hawkeye2404]

1. We need a special unlockable/purchasable Augment Slot. For all warframes that have augments, it'd be nice to have at least 1 augment slot where we can put an Augment Mod without it taking up one of our main slots. You'd still have the same amount of Mod Capacity, but you would be able to forma this Augment Slot to fit the polarity of the augment.
2. It'd also be nice to have a universal Stance Forma. Like Aura Formas apply a universal polarity for that all Auras use, it'd be nice to have the same thing for Stances. Again, this would not be free. You'd still have to unlock it through some means or perhaps purchase it on the market with platinum. - There is apparently already a Stance Forma, sold by the Steel Path Honors Shop for Steel Essence. I would still like to have an alternative way to obtain it though, even if I have to pay platinum to get it.

Stance forma already exists and is sold by that mushroom guy with steel path currency. I would like to see augment slots become a thing though.

An Augment Slot would open up more build options, as now where people were previously only willing to sacrifice 1 main mod slot for an augment, they might now be willing to sacrifice up to 2 slots, or use the slot they now freed up for other mods.

Only if Augment mods were limited to being exclusively equipped to this Augment Slot and so limiting the number of Augments players can equip to a frame to 1. Otherwise it would become broken.

As it currently stands players have to better think their builds to properly fit an Augment wile sacrificing what could be a mod to improve their builds overall, builds that include 2 of the Umbral Mods require players to forma 6 of 8 slots and the Exilus to properly fit their builds in and most of the time there are no spare points for a 13th slot to be used.

At this point, all augments and abilities should be rebalanced to make augments essentialy sidegrades. Then make augments mods work as a buff to the ability, but you can also drop it to Helminth to make Helminth infuse weaker version of the augment for all abilities. So, you can equip desacrate augment, but you can also donate it to Helminth to make the augment not consume capacity and slot, but for example, desacrate costs x2 more health then if you had the augment equipped. In case of abilities that can be donated, you could also infuse the augmented ability or normal varaint to the other frames. This would also be open ended for more augments for the same ability, making it more of a choice what augment to take, and if you want stronger or weaker augmentation.

About Aura and Stance forma. Same applies to both of the exilus adapters too. Both of those were a mistake. Aura in a way it was implemented, and Stance for being implemented at all, exilus adapaters shouldnt have gotten another variant too. Basicly, make Aura forma a Universal forma, you can aply only one such polarity to a piece of equipment, it acts as universal polarity for every polarity exept Umbra polarity. With this, stance forma is redundant even more so than it was before, its use should have just been added to Aura forma, even without my above suggestion. For exilus, the same, add the function of weapon exilus to normal, convert all weapon exilus adapters to normal exilus adapater, and get rid of weapon exilus adapter.
