DaMasque Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Toxin, it goes through shields. On one hand, its a Corpus killer. On another hand, Toxin ancients (Harpooning and providing a Toxin buff.) Toxin damage should not go through shields but Toxin proc should. Still a corpus killer, has a reason to stack toxin, and Toxin Ancients can't down us in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Shelneroth Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I agree toxin feels like an outlier amongst procs. I think it's one reason grineer can feel so tanky. Their counter element requires time and ser-up while the corpus counter just immediately works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 why are you trying to use Toxin Damage against Infested at all? they're not weak to it, and many of them are Resistant. it's just a bad choice all around. why would you intentionally pick a Damage Type that the highest EHP Units in a Faction are resistant to. it just doesn't make sense. anyways, Corpus have addressed this weakness that they have anyways, via Robots with Armor, or Shielding buffs that will block Toxin.

I think the OP is talking about toxic ancient dealing toxin damage to the warframe, bypassing the shield and easily killed unaware player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PublikDomain Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Makes sense. Slash damage is basically the same thing as Toxin but for Armor, but Slash damage itself doesn't bypass Armor - only the procs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReddyDisco Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Toxic ancients can be unfun police to shield based frames or those relying on shieldgating to survive but it adds a sense of dread to an otherwise unarmoured pushover faction. besides, its more fun to actually find solutions to the problem and figuring out what works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutesque Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I lost 3 Revives Yesterday to Toxin Attacks.... And all I can say is meh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess it's an Issue but it no where near as bad as the problem with Disruptors and Energy Leeches.... As I like to say... Survivability is Extremely Overrated... Infact the reason why I died wasn't necessarily because of Toxin... It was because of a lack of Mod Real Estate.... There's just not enough Room on my Mag to fit Vitality so I'm just stuck with Redirection.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think the only change needed would be slightly more telegraphing before they use their AoE cast, and maybe force them to wait a couple seconds between using Ripline and the AoE: several times in the past I have been reeled in and then immediately downed, so that would help too. 4 hours ago, Lutesque said: There's just not enough Room on my Mag to fit Vitality so I'm just stuck with Redirection.... Forma is the way. unless we're talking slots, in which case I'd assume you have Primed Flow on so try Quick Thinking instead and keep your energy up, then you basically have a second health bar. between that, shield gating and recasting Polarize, you should be pretty hard to kill as long as you pay attention.

It main issue was you needed to have Armor to mitigate the amount of Energy Drained from the Lethal Damage you Take... But if Mag had Armor then you literally wouldn't needed Quick Thinking in the first Place... Did they fix that ?

0_The_F00l Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I agree , toxin should change such that only the procs bypass shields, corpus feels like a rather weak faction as compared to grineer. But I think the entirety of the damage system needs a rework and not just toxin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Unstar Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Personally I like the way Toxin works now; it's nice that non-status weapons can bypass shields if they want to focus that way. It creates some potential for build diversity which I think is welcome. And as has been discussed, removing the innate shield bypass from Toxin damage isn't the root cause of this issue, and wouldn't truly solve it (assuming that enemies can still proc Toxin on players) while causing a lot of collateral damage.

I think they're still pretty squishy. Mainly because even though they're armored, their base armor is lower. So the level multiplier doesn't give them as much extra armor as the Grineer.

This is actually a good point as I have builds that are just pure Toxin, sometimes a bit of radiation for robotics but they tend to die before shields get turned off. Except Sisters... Hmm... I guess bosses are kind of an exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillyRaccune Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I always wondered about why some enemies have guaranteed status damage even when their attacks don't have guaranteed status chance procs. Regarding the Toxic Ancients, it's more about the surprise I feel when I die. I'm angry at Infested Ospreys that still create (pre-rework) gas clouds that deal toxic damage and any additional status procs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If toxin was not ideal against them in the first place you wouldn't be using it anyway. I also don't think I ran toxin weapons for index , it was usually radiation or corrosive though it has been a while since I went there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
