Epicagemo Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Am I the only one to see this? He has: ->a rejuvenation ability-handy for all sorts of things. ->a carpet rug for decent protection ->more effective health ->a imitation to Nyx's Mind control with his first ->a better version of chaos that: -deals some damage -is spam-able vs 10 seconds of radiation-NO biggie -quick CC -not locked under certain circumstances-stupid turret. -creates health orbs! So Oberon makes Nyx obsolete. Well... not many frames look as good as Nyx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senketsu_ Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 No he still works different then nyx. Nyx's chaos is still better then Oberon's radiation procs. And absorb still is able to deal more damage. And gives her invincibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casardis Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) I do think that in terms of utility, Oberon seems to have taken a turn into a "better Nyx" when it comes to CC in a way. He doesn't have Chaos' range, but he can instantly eliminate threat faster than Nyx's Chaos with Reckoning. Not only does it cause the proc, but it also creates a blind effect if the target doesn't die. Above that, it knocks said target down at the same time. He can also spam it at his heart's content, while Chaos can't be spammed as well/effectively. The fault in that, in my opinion, is less about his powers doing Radiation proc, but rather Radiation proc being a shameless copy of Nyx's Chaos effect.

Marthrym Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Yeah I thought that too when I saw how heavily radiation oriented his kit had become... Between that, the Nukor and the Absorb nerf... Someone among the devs must hate Nyx... Nothing will ever replace The Goddess of Night though. And screw anyone who tries!

Noble_Cactus Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Radiation, while similar to Chaos, is less reliable. Chaos'd enemies are more much likely to attack one another from experience, whereas Radiation afflicted enemies tend to turn on you if you get too close. Who knows, maybe Nyx will see a small rework or something with... upcoming updates that favor Nyx.

I think that should be reworked as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordhalo Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 also you forgot. Radiation also lowers accuracy, so its not very effective compared to chaos which turns enemies without the debuff of accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achromos Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Oberon, or at least the way I play him is different then say... the way I "used" to play nyx. Haven't touched her in fear that my combo is broken (Castanas + Nyx ... First the Castanas nerf, then Nyx... urgh!) I'd be able to chaos enemies, throw down the castanas ahead of me, Jump, press 4, and detonate, and then release the energy which would kill 'most' enemies that weren't high level and heavy gunner status. Oberon, I'd just Smite, and shoot the fallen heavy, and use Reckoning on the ones nearby and shoot the survivors. OBspice is a bit more strait forward, but he is a paladin. Absolutely love the utility, and was waiting on him to feel... a bit more. Though did Oberon replace Nyx? ...I'd have to see how bad the nerfs to Nyx play out, however I think people who absolutely love Nyx will continue to have her in one of their Loadout Slots (I do...), however DE finally got rid of the few issues I had with Oberon so I guess I will stick with him unless (or until... (you know they will in some way)) they nerf him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric1738 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 radiation proc doesnt not equal mind control or chaos... it's much weaker than mind control and chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Momaw Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I tried a "CC spam" build for Oberon with Reckoning, max efficiency, max range. It was ... okay. With maximized range you can affect enemies far enough away from you that the radiation actually works. The blind and radiation effects kind of work counter to eachother in a way. The effect was painfully short lived compared to Chaos, plus it costs more to use, and maximizing the range absolutely butchers the damage so good luck popping out those health orbs for equilibrium builds. Oby is more useful than he was before, but he's still a generalist. Has not replaced Nyx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietcanary Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 so far as I can tell the radiation proc is easily just as good as chaos and smite is easily twice as good as mind control hands down. With absorb nerfed and considering hallowed ground beats out psychic bolts any day I would agree oberon has definitely replaced nyx right now... at least until absorb is fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
