Did Iron Skin Get Ninja Nerfed In This Last Update?

[Gullim92]

I know they added the % to show how much damage it can still take, but it definately FEELS a lot weaker than before the update

 

It might just be because i can see the number of hits left dropping, but it just feels like it can't take the same amount of damage.. A room of level 10 corpus can take it down a lot faster than what I remember

Really? I didn't notice a nerf.... Maybe this just isn't a placebo. Hold up, I've got some testing to do.

 

EDIT: After some testing involving T1 lasers and an unmodified iron skin, if they did nerf it, it's either pertaining to specific players, or too insignificant to be noticed.

I have not noted any change in Iron Skins performance.

 

My Rhino-using muppets that i call friends have not expressed any notice to a change in Iron Skins performance.

 

Can we please stop with the placebo already?

[Paul_Pianoff]

Not using Iron Skin in my Rhino build so I can't tell.

Definitely a placebo. I did some testing against enemies I normally face off against and I noticed no difference as long as I didn't stare at the counter :)

A room full of Corpus could always take it down easily. Since most Corpus units just stand there and fire lasers at you (like Moas and drones), it would always wreck. This, as opposed to Grineer, who while they have deadly heavy units and hitscan weapons, take more cover and shoot a lot less (or have shotguns or other less effective range).

It has not been nerfed. There has been no change to how the ability works besides a duration number. It is simply the feeling of being less sturdy as you now can see it degrade.

 

Moved to a more appropriate section.

No such thing as a "ninja nerf", learn how to read patch notes lol.

Yeah, no. There have been ninja nerfs in the past. Not everything is listed in the patch notes FYI.

What happened to radial blind in a recent hotfix?  It was redacted shortly thereafter but changes not documented publicly slip through.

 

Considering there have been multiple play tests today saying that Iron Skin still behaves as expected with a grand sum of zero play tests demonstrating otherwise I think it's safe to say for the time being nothing has changed.  I would like results from the people who say it feels weaker though.

It's definitely a noceabo. No doubt about that.
