_Anise_ Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I been playing citrine a little, and got to thinking that her #3 gem could have been a "pseudo exalted sentinel" no weapon/mods just works the way it currently does except ... could been push to summon as a smaller sentinel floating above / behind following Citrine with hold to throw out working like it currently does. for an ultra mobility focused game it would kinda makes loads of sense to have it this way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsiWarp Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 A "Prismatic Guard" augment, have it float directly above her like Mirror Defense. After all we already have Prism Guard doing the Sentinel thing with Mirage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimMyfanwy Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I'd like to see this power tweaked a little myself, and your idea is a sound one. I hate the fact in in a fast pace, constantly in motion game like this I have to calculate where to cast the ability to optimally place it. Why they felt the need for it to fly ahead of you rather than just staying where you cast it is a mystery to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_Avant_2019 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Agreed, that works decently for an augment mod. It's convenient and not OP, as it has you sacrificing mod space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um... you misunderstood me, my issue isn't that it's stationary, my issue is that when you cast it, it flies out 10-15 meters in front of you, instead of at your feet (e.g. Wisp's Motes, Protea's Dispensary) or where you aim (e.g. Vaubaun's various grenades, Octavia's Mallet). I'm well aware of how to build her and what the game expects of me. Edited January 21 by GrimMyfanwy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
