(PSN)Goldengeartwo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 As the title says, does Mag prime greatly benefit from 75% efficiency? Or does she do better with more power strength or range? Or should I go for a mix? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdunSaveMe Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) I like efficiency. I spam Shield Polarize a lot in Void missions, and I'd run out of energy a hell of a lot faster without efficiency. I think it depends on how you play and what you prefer, really.

(PSN)harryjackg Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I used max efficiency and maxed strength, with stretch, kills pretty much any corpus you need in a huge range (+ Arcane coil helmet ) for 70% of normal energy requirements :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlraistlx Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Well I use mine like this: http://warframe-builder.com/Warframes/Builder/Mag/t_30_13001130012_1-8-8-2-9-7-3-10-5-4-3-5-5-6-5-6-2-5-12-7-7-55-1-5-80-0-3-81-4-3-82-5-3_80-2-55-6-6-11-4-9-81-4-82-5-5-5-12-13-1-12-2-11-3-18_30/en/1-0-10/2082/0'> Which is 50% efficiency. The reason I run like this is so I can reach 100% shields drain with Shield Polarize. The stats for the build end being: + 50% POWER EFFICIENCY - 60% POWER DURATION +102% POWER STRENGTH + 70% POWER RANGE The loss in Power Duration only affects bullet attractor which I don't use many often. you could add in a "V" polarity, place the Bind Rage there and get 11 free points for another mod you may like. I'm not quite fond of Mag and hence why I haven't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darzk Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Shield polarize double dips from power strength, so it's really beneficial to have up to +100% power strength when using it for damage, or with OE. For example, using 75% efficiency, power strength caps at +57%, which restores only 78.5% of your shields. Using 50% efficiency you'd cost twice as much but fully restore shields - in this case it's better to use the more efficient setup. However when using OE as well, power strength is at -3% with 75% efficiency, restoring only 48.5% of shields per cast. If you upgraded Blind Rage to Rank 7, youd get 50% efficiency, and restore 71% of Shields per cast, still less efficient, but more competitive. Pull is obviously more spammable with more efficiency. So, when using abilities for support and Pull for CC, 75% efficiency is the way to go. HOWEVER: The difference really shines when you look at the damage. Our 57% PS setup with 75% eff only deals 308% of shield value as damage, while our 50% efficiency setup deals 505% shield value as damage. Because Shield polarize can only hit an enemy once, it cant be spammed for damage, you're better off with the less efficient setup as a damage dealer. Shields scale slower than health so at really high levels you want as much power strength as possible. TLDR: Use 75% efficiency for support, use 50% efficiency for mid level damage dealer (~<=lvl 50), and use full BR (35% eff) for high level nuker.

mistopportunity Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Efficiency has a +60% cap doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggh Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Only bullet attractor is affected by the lesser duration so there's no reason not to go for a full power efficiency build on her. Efficiency has a +60% cap doesn't it? 75 Edited June 30, 2014 by Aggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Goldengeartwo Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Alright people, I will go for a 75% efficiency build, I'll use Intensify along with it for more effectiveness in shield polarise and crush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
