Marked For Death(Helminth) is TOO WEAK!

[ClauSolas]

Marked for death features

1. Expend 50 Energy to stun a single target.
2. Damage is capped at 150% and cannot exceed the target's remaining health/shield.
3. Inflict damage to enemies within 10 meters from the marked target.
4. Striking a marked target will instantly release the stun and cancle the ability.
5. inflict 75% of the next damage instance including Critical Hit and Status Effects the user inflicts to target.

It is inefficient to use with weapons due to problems 1 and 2, so it is recommended to use it in combination with the ability to cause great damage at once.
Typically, it goes well with warframes such as Inaros, Bansh, Ash, Excalibur, Baruk, and Equinox that can make good use of finishing touches.
However, in order to use it properly, it is necessary to reinforce in various modes, so there is a problem that the warframe itself cannot be strengthened, and the overall specs is weakened.

Currently, in order to make the best use of marked for death, over-extend is essential to correct the low range.
However, due to the 60% reduction in power, which is a side effect, if you don't correct it with "Blind rage" or "Archon shard", the damage is too weak, so the meaning of use disappears.
In other words, there is certainly room for use, but due to too many restrictions, it remains in a state where it cannot be used properly.

Here's what I'm suggesting

• Fix the explosion range to 20 M, which is not affected by the mode.
• Fix the explosion damage to "100%" of the applied damage that is not affected by the mode.
• Inflict damage to the enemy who entered the explosion range, ignore the obstacles.

As power inflation progresses to deep Archimedia, I hope DE adjust the forgotten abilities to be used again.

Imagine doing a Stealth Kill with Mark for Death.

Marked for Death used to be OP as hek, then they nerfed it

I do not agree. Mark the target when full health. Enjoy the Acid Shells effect but better (Acid Shells is 45% enemy health, Marked is 150%. range is the same 15 meters).

It can be abused on Stalker with Teleport Stealth kills on Marked Target. I am sure you could do similar with Ash and Innodem modded for finishers.

Stalker doesn't have Marked for Death, he has an upgraded, better version of the ability.

Also Marked for Death + Teleport was a thing when the ability was new, then DE butchered it and now nobody uses it anymore. It's dead.

Pretty annoyed about the Nerf now. 

I mean I heard and knew it was nerfed. 

But they nerfed it too hard. 

I only used it for my Loki build. 

That actually made use of his bad passive. 

And snipe enemies from being perched from the wall. 

Making snipers feel a little bit better. 

But I just tried it at Max damage with great range. 

With my Tiberon prime guaranteed red crits with a critical multiply of 12 an faction damage. With armor being capped now. 

You were thinking it would still be able to do damage? Nope OMG no. It was baffling to see how little damage. 

Oh I wouldn't shot you with a headshot all time to see that same damage plus 50% of everyone nearby they lost a sliver. Wut?

Excuse me. 

Doesn't Kullervo have an ability that basically does this but better! with guns and melee? Pretty f****** ridiculous at that point to Nerf it. If ya forget about something that broken Nerf it than bring it back better than ever with a new frame.

DE I'm not made just disappointed. 

Because I didn't abuse that ability I used it for fun.

Spelling again. Sorry

This reminds me Ash's overnerf. I hope they would fix him back too along with it.

I think the intention was that it be used on powerful enemies but the old version made it so you were better off targeting weaker enemies and you could clear entire rooms with it.  If they want it to serve that function it should probably weaken the enemy it targets. For example by stripping armor  or giving a damage multiplier on the creature you target.

 

Any buff to the aoe risks returning it to it's role as a nuke ability.

Though, I'd would want to him revived in any direction. Nuker would be fine and good too than how it is now.
Why not, ninja nuker sounds cool.
