A Nekros Fix Idea

[EagleRise]

your point is valid, Nekros dose needs some change to his skills.
your solution is wrong though.
Desecrate is a great abillity, it allowes Nekros to survive longer, it allowes the entire team to survive longer, and it helps with farming.
Lore-wise, its also great, what says "I control the dead" better then having an "I control what this dead body will be" abillity?

what nekros needs is an AOE damage abillity, a buff to soul punch that make dead enemies explode on contact, or changing Terrify (as much as I love it as an "OH S#&$!" button) will be a better sulotion.
maybe even an "all the dead bodys in an X radius around Nekros have a chance to explode for X damage with X blast radius".
so Nekros will have both a support Desecrate and a kind of an offensive Desecrate (which is an entirly diffrent skill).

For a warframe that gets its power from killing lots of enemies really fast, Nekros has no skill that can actoally do it or help doing that.
not to say he should be able to kill 20 level 100 gunners with one abillity, but I see no problem with killing 10-20 level 20 lancers if they are close enough to each other.

what lore? what exactly is nekros? Hes kind of...magey, in a sci fi game

he kinda allready messed with the lore no?XD

 

is he not a NECROMANCER?!?!?!? and not some looter frame? *gasp*

 

lore is all the more reason to make the change, a treasure hunter for looting , and a necromancer for minioning, lore really shouldn't be the arguement against this lol

 

can anyone here even tell me what the nekros lore even is? does he even have any? he doesnt even look like a tenno

they could make this change before making his lore 

 

Took some digging via Google, but I think this is the closest I can get to Nekros' lore;

I personally like Nekros the way he is now, mostly because I'm not fond of a single niche 'frame.  I love Mag because she can refill a team mates shields, while depleting the enemies, she has a decent CC (Pull) that's useful no matter the situation.  

 

When I play Nekros, I'm playing a 'frame that can provide extra loot i.e. red/blue balls as well as PLS, CC for reviving allies, Knockdown and, uh, minions?  for meat shields.  He's a team player!

IMHO, the concept of Nekros, as it stands, is ... I just lack the words to describe the WTF face I made when I read the frame wiki page.

 

First off, SOtD "resurrects" robots, which makes no sense, unless the skill was called "Reintegrate" or "Reconstruct" and actually made temporary copies of enemies by a mix of Void energy and, I don't know ... nanobots? Just saying that Nekros is waaaaay out there in the Fantasy MMO concept as is.

I feel like you guys are missing the point, its not removing desecrate its putting it on a warframe better fit to use it while making the nekros more minion based

 

and by a new dps minion i dont mean those cute little things we make, i mean something that will hit hard and actually get kills on its own , a minion that would actually assist in making the other minions 

Dps means very little when the minion does not do what we want, due to the AI.
