A Question About Paralysis

[izzatuw]

Is it a good ability and is it worth keeping?

[Darzk]

Short answer: No.

Short answer: No.

Can it actually kill?

[Nurmetya]

Depends on if you can get to a group of enemies before it drops to zero, if you can do that then you have a slim chance to stun enemies and be able kill em with a stealth kill.....problem is that stun is like 2-4 seconds long. Major problem is the fact that it relies on how much shields you have for it to be effective and with Valk's meager shields its not worth it at all half the time.

 

Edit - In all honesty Valk's paralysis is one skill that should be thrown out and replaced by either the player re-polarizing an ability slot or by DE rebuilding it to something else entirely.

Yes it can but you need to use redirection + vigor + fast deflection as well as Intensify and blind rage(as high as you can get it and be comfortable using it) for it to kill. Which leaves little room for steel fiber and vitality.

 

Edit - Forgot to say that it'll only kill while using said loadout if the enemy is below level 15 anything beyond that just suffers damage that gradually tapers off as levels get higher.

Short answer: No.

Short answer: Yes

 

Long answer: Use rage. When your shields get knocked down (because you only have 150 since you put on steel fiber instead of redirection) your health gets depleted and you get enough energy to use hysteria. From their you can spam paralysis to keep enemies from running away and unleashing finishers on them. 

 

With a build like this and some duration mods you'll have a valkyr who can't die. And paralysis allows her to close in for the kill. Don't use paralysis for damage use it for CC and to stop your prey from escaping.

Doesn't seem to be much good than, but I'd put it in just to hear the scream, seems epic. What about Warcry? Is that a good ability? You mind showing me your current build for her than?

Warcry has a snare, you know. You also don't need anything to 'close in for the kill'. Sprinting *without Rush* and using slides with correct timing is good enough.

It helps because valkyr is so floaty that its easy to miss, it also keeps other enemies from running away while you kill the other.

All her abilities are useful. Some are more useful in other way than just damage.
