Ironclad Flight is completely useless

[TheMapleDealer]

As the title states, Ironclad Flight gives the same amount of DR as Aviator, except it disables your vacuum while in razorwing. I'm sure there's *a* reason to disable vacuum, but in general its a useless effect ,on top of that the two are mutually exclusive. To add insult to injury Ironclad Flight requires 25.000 standing with Red Veil to obtain, while aviator is dropped by Nox.
Please rework the mod into something actually useful.

Ironclad Flight should now be compatible with aviator as per U30.5 damage resistance change make 100% DR impossible :

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06) Damage Resistance Mod Math Changes:

The following changes occurred due to the following scenario being shared:

A player reported that combining Umbral Mods + Adaptation + Lightning Rod on any Warframe made them fully immune to all damage from the Hydrolyst Eidolon.

Prior to this discovery, we already made sure we couldn’t reach 100% Damage Resistance because that would just be excessive in all cases. You can see this in action when we capped the ‘In Air’ Damage Resistance Mods. Even though the Mods theoretically could reach 100% Damage Resistance, there is a hard cap at 90%.

In response and to avoid future oversights, we have changed the way Damage Resistance works. It now works on ‘Damage Remaining’ instead of having all the Modifiers combined and operating at once.

Example:
Consider the case of:
4x 25% Damage Resistance Mods

WAS: (25% + 25% + 25% + 25%) = 100% Damage Reduction

NEW: Take 25% Less Damage = Only take 75% Damage

0.75 x 0.75 x 0.75 x 0.75 = 31.5% damage taken AKA 68.5% damage reduction

• (Undocumented) removed 90% cap.

Ironclad Flight was designed to be useless...except to a few players who regard vacuum in Razoring as a negative.

DR on Titania is kinda useless in general due to her Evasion with Razorwing active 50%. Additionaly active Dust Tribute affects enemies with 50% reduced accuracy. Effects stack multiplicatively for a 75% Evasion (if you stand still). Due to movement speed Titania is pretty much unhittable, shield gate and not standing in fire (gas cloud) is enough to stay alive.

Yep, it's only meant to be an option for players who don't like the passive, like other mods before it. Too bad DE doesn't just make them an actual toggle instead of having to go out of their way to design mods for it.

Well the thing is it's kind of on par with other mods that disable a Warframe's passive :

When you look at Nezha's passive removing mod, you see the +15% strength and think : well it's basically Power Drift, but I remove the sliding.

 

Even IF you could stack Ironclad Flight and Aviator together, it would still be pretty bad overall, because removing Vacuum makes it that much more annoying to pick up stuff, and you basically always want to pick up stuff, because, y'know, looter shooter, and energy orbs are one such thing you are very happy to collect with ease.

 

But it's still weird you can't use them both at once nonetheless, because you can still use Power Drift on Nezha, while using his passive removing mod.

It exists because DE considered a toxic content creator whining about a borderline imaginary problem of wasting energy, due to picking up energy orbs not precisely at the moment he wanted to pick them up, to be feedback that's worth acting upon.

So yes, it's useless. But it also does exactly what it was designed to do, being useless included, so I wouldn't expect any changes to it.
