Safeguard Switch Needs A Buff/rework

[Brimir]

Very, veeery disappointing augment for Loki. Very situational and not as potent as most others. So I suggest this:

 

"After teleporting with a target, it(if an ally) and Loki become invulnerable for a short while"

 

This would allow Loki to get allies out of a jam, but also be a lot more aggressive with Switch Teleporting into crowds of enemies. As it is, it is hardly worth the grinding or even a mod slot on your Warframe.

While I do agree that yes, Safeguard Switch is very situational, I'd have to disagree with your changes. While ST will see some use, being invulnerable when teleporting to anything seems like a recipe for disaster. 

 

I can imagine Lokis already just teleporting into a of enemies then tearing it to shreds while taking no damage. I feel that kind of destroys the essence of Loki.

 

Also, what about Decoy + ST combo? Would that give you invulnerability too? I feel that Safeguard Switch needs a change but this is not the way to go about it.

Don't we already do that? Pre-buff yourself with Invisibility, Switch Teleport and hack away :P

 

Plus, you have to remember that Augments are the creme de la creme - it is not going to be something every single Loki runs around with. It deserves to be quite potent!

 

But really, it all depends on how long "a short while" actually is. Personally I'd be happy if it lasted just a few seconds; just long enough for me to get a Radial Disarm off inside a clump of enemies.
