Nyx + Shade + Ghost + Absorb

[keskejesuis]

Hello DE,

Nyx is not a "tank" and Shade might be a handy sentinel with Ghost precept - if only he was not acting so poorly.and having some erratic behavior cloaking or not cloaking.

 

Absorb is already difficult to use and one have to isolate him/herself or play solo in a way to avoid ignorant players slaughtering what you intend to kill;

 

Now, tell me what good is Absorb if Shade cloaks Nyx at the same time ? Well, Absorb ceases to.....absorb. right ? So, you finally benefit from gorgeous graphic FX and that's all you get.

 

There should be some modifications done here to prevent Shade from randomly cloaking Nyx when she casts Absorb.

That's the entire reason I stopped using shade...

How about not using shade when you are Nyx.

Try Djinn to draw more aggro for your Absorb. or no sentinel at all.

This is pretty much the best advice available for the situation.

 

If you dont have Djinn, just uninstal Ghost with Shade.

 

Because, when shade is working as intended, it stops Absorb from doing the same.

Not trying to be an &#! here. 

But can we stop defending mechanics that are broken?

Things like this probably need to go away, even if they are working as intended - that just means whoever did the intending needs to re-intend it.

Or something.

You are calling a mechanic that works as intended with ALL frames, broken?

 

Shade, by design, cloaks you based on two things:

1. how high the Ghost precept is

2. whether or not Shade can see the target

 

So for most builds, if shade isnt Shooting, Sheilding (sanct), restoring your sheilds, restoring its health; it will be cloaking you.

 

This logic is also used with Bladestorm animations, where ASH is invulnerable, but SHADE is not.

During Hysteria, where the same occurs

Hillariously during Smokebomb and Invisibility

During Tailwind, Charge, and Slash-dash

Through the whole Shadows of the Dead, and Desecrate Animation.

 

There are frames that synergize well with certain sentinals... Shade and Nyx are not one of those pairs.
