Zephyr Pod Defender?

[escape123]

I saw a few posts saying Turbulence is affected by Range. So......

 

In theory if I were to mod for Max Range and Max Duration and stand on top of the Pod how would this hold up for high end defence? (e.g. Level 100+)

i seem to have awesome effect with Corpus as my enemies

 

I havent tested Turbulence against Hit-scan weapons enough to tell you about Grineer.

the funny thing about it is that it works on those fusion MOAs lasers lol

[Admiral_Nicksalot]

Turbulence blocks hitscan weapons.. so yeah it'll work as a pod defender

[Darzk]

Turbulence only blocks maybe 9 or 10 shots. The 1 of 10 Napalm missiles that gets through will wreck the pod :(

The only problem is that it doesnt work with melee enemies and blast damage. so if a toxic ancient runs up and gasses you, then youre SOL

[Darzk]

Actually it seems to work against Ancients, but think you need a bit of -range for that.

From what I've seen turbulence still has a chance to deflect incoming fire. A very substantial chance, but stuff will still get through.

 

If you've got a dozen and an half grineer blazing away at you with grakatas, you're going to get hit a fair amount from sheer volume of incoming fire. It seems to work better (more chance to work?) against actual projectile weapons, but some shots still get through.

 

The problem with napalms and bombards is the projectile gets deflected, but only so far and it does have a blast radius. You still often end up taking damage because of that.
