holyicon Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Do I even need to comment further? Edit: OKAY, so some of you are unaware of the change coming up... -Blessing: Damage immunity is now based on the percentage of health healed (ie: healing 90% health will grant 90% immunity). This should make the use of Blessing more reactive, greatly benefiting players that pay attention and monitor party health to maximize its effectiveness. Trinity by design was never meant to have such an aggressive means of invincibility, and this fix should bring Blessing’s use back in line with our original intent. Spamming it at full health will now have no benefit. Edited May 13, 2014 by holyicon
Archistopheles Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 wait huh blessing got changed? waaaaaaaaat No, but it might/will probably get changed soon
cladin Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 No, but it might/will probably get changed soon OP.... Don't scare me like that ;-;
holyicon Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 um how is that gonna help? 1.2 sec duration?

LordMidnightX Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 OKAY, so some of you are unaware of the change coming up... I know about the change and I experimented this morning to try and make a quick thinking build like that, but even if you get 99% damage reduction it is not going to mean to much for 1.2 seconds

LordMidnightX Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 That's what Reflection is for. I don't follow you. reflection pretty much sucks right now you can get better dps by shooting and it drains stamina to fast on higher levels. Am I missing something?
holyicon Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 I don't follow you. reflection pretty much sucks right now you can get better dps by shooting and it drains stamina to fast on higher levels. Am I missing something? Trinity is not a DPS frame. Yes, you can shoot at people and spam blessing from a distance. Or go all Melee 2.0 in their grill. The point is, you will always have enough Health to get 25en from Rage to use another Blessing and get your HPs back. Guarding keeps the damage intake manageable if you're in danger and can't get to cover.
residente Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Now I need to now wich enemy drops Blessing, if anyone does, to take a level 1 blessing.
Ezren Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 So this is basically "using any heal and Quick Thinking", this is nothing specific to Blessing.

Guarding keeps the damage intake manageable if you're in danger and can't get to cover. ... that's a terrible idea, 1. you have to be in melee mode to block 2. you don't need that build just to make sure you have energy to heal you and your team I don't know it doesn't look like a good end game build to me I am thinking trinity is going to be useless no matter what your build is, sure she can heal which is nice, but a life strike on your melee can heal you completely in a few hits or if you are with people just die and revive if you really want full health again. Oberon can heal too or if you are running survival nekros will give you lots of health. The niche trinity filled as a support healer has been taken by frames that can do it better. The damage resistance relies on low health. Right now trinity is pointless on low levels because you don't need immunity and she is super good on uber high levels because things will kill you in one shot. Anyway I was hoping I was missing something and you had come up with a brilliant way to make trinity actually good. I guess not
Vargras Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Trinity is not a DPS frame. Link + Penta/Ogris. What's that about not being a DPS frame?
holyicon Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Anyway I was hoping I was missing something and you had come up with a brilliant way to make trinity actually good. I guess not Oh, I'm sorry, I figured being able to spam Blessing every 1.2 seconds fit the title of the post, but I guess because I didn't demonstrate how Trinity was actually BETTER than other frames I completely failed to sell you on the idea of WHAT I'M OBVIOUSLY CALLING ABUSE. Which the point being is now the only way to make Trinity even begin to approach being viable in that environment. So now even abusing Trinity dosn't bring her up to the level of the frames you mentioned ... thanks for making my point so unnecessarily salient. Link + Penta/Ogris. What's that about not being a DPS frame? That. Is. An. Exploit. Next!
Vargras Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 That. Is. An. Exploit. Next! Even without the Penta or Ogris, Link is still a damaging ability. Keep trying to tiptoe around it though.
holyicon Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Even without the Penta or Ogris, Link is still a damaging ability. Keep trying to tiptoe around it though. That's like trying to say a Yugo can compete in Nascar because ... It's a car.
(PSN)uncivilizedarea Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I'm going to take midnights side on this one. So you just stand there block and cast blessing every 1.2 seconds? Doesn't sound fun to me. Not really seeing the abuse here
Paradoxbomb Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 That was some Quick Thinking. I'll Rage if it doesn't work.
holyicon Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 I'm going to take midnights side on this one. So you just stand there block and cast blessing every 1.2 seconds? Doesn't sound fun to me. Not really seeing the abuse here Well that's kinda the point there isn't it? When abusing the heck out of a skill still doesn't make the frame worth playing... DO I NEED TO FINISH THIS SENTENCE?
Edgedemon Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 just telling but you're thinking on reflex guard which auto blocks and not reflection which returns damage on successful block. do reflection even work on ranged attacks?
Edgedemon Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 if youre thinking on just staying there pressing block now and then you could as well ignore reflection and use link as intended would reduce damage intake and deal damage to booth
holyicon Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 just telling but you're thinking on reflex guard which auto blocks and not reflection which returns damage on successful block. do reflection even work on ranged attacks? Reflection works on any successfully guarded attack. Even ranged attacks.
