So Nyx Seems To Be In The Best Spot She's Been In A Good Amount Of Time But...

[Sebastian]

 So yes, after the change to Absorb, it is now less situation and much more useful, but I remember why I stopped playing Nyx in the first place, the fact that allies can damage mind controlled targets is by far the worst feeling and most unsatisfying skill to use in the game, even tho the skill itself is one of the best 1's in the game.

 

This has been told countless times to DE but they refuse to change it, why? It is probably the easiest change to do, and would not require that much time, are they scared? And if so, why? It would make the skill feel so satisfying that you can heal your allies with an Ancient Healer, or protect them from damage with a corpus drone or just simply cause chaos with a Bombard/Napalm.

 

I mean only yesterday I got me a nice Arctic Eximus that was protecting the pod with his life while I went to get some energy and some random Rhino comes and melees him constantly, he dies and not even 10 seconds after we lose because my weapons were forma'd recently, and that Rhino simply refused to use stomp or anything besides those crappy Fangs.

 

So please DE, reconsider it once again, and at least give it a try, because Nyx is about to be one of the most balanced and satisfying frames to use, especially if you'd change her 2 so it dealts damage as % of enemy max HP, that way she'll be the first frame to have her whole kit useful at any moment in the game. (which in my opinion is a big step in improving and rebalancing all the other underpowered or overpowered skills).

Nyx is one of the most balanced frames? oO Nyx is OP frame nr.1, she's basically Nova + Vauban MkII ³.

The next thing Nyx will recieve is a nerf. Or call it rebalance/rework - whatever.

Shhhh, let's just call her balanced for now >_> don't give DE any ideas.

 

+ she actually IS balanced, she has the most skills that never die out no matter the enemy level, (her 1,3,4). The only one that comes close to that is Loki and Vauban, but both of them have only 2 skills that are actually even useful even tho they don't die out with enemy level (invisibility, radial disarm and bastile, vortex, their other abilities usefulness is questionable). But Nyx has the chance to truly feel good in the hands of the players, no matter what skills or build you decide to go. (especially if they make her 2 deal % of enemy HP that gets increased with power strength, then she'll have abilities that benefit greatly from all stats, strength,duration and range)

These two sentences are contradictory to each other. Balance means equality. If she's the ONLY that..., she can't be balanced.

 

I agree with you that she's a nice frame, and most of her abilities are useful. I wish you could say that about all the other frames...

But Nyx is no way balanced, she's so much stronger than any other one... So, I doubt DE will give Mind Control a straight upgrade

- without a "rebalance" of Absorb and/or Chaos.

Nyx is probably due for a "nerf" on absorb once rail defend becomes pvp.

Believe it or not, Nyx's first iteration disallowed friendly fire to mind controlled enemies. It was horrible as S#&$. So no, DE is not going to make the same mistake twice. If you really want to take advantage of your mind control's ability, get an organized group together.

It's not really a straight upgrade, it's more of a quality of life thing. And also, by balanced I mean in a point where all her abilities can be useful but still not outright gamebreaking (like Trinity's Blessing used to, or how Vauban is on infested defence)
