antimab-EGT- Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Hi, I play Volt and i have to say the 4th skill is crazy overpowered. 1 button and can toast a whole army of enemies and if I'm lucky I find some energy at the toasted enemies i can use it again ..and again ... If you use warframe mods with Powerrange the skill becomes even more ridiculous. I hope this will be balanced soon because some friends refuse to play with me if i use the skill (I know, ridiculous). I think a smaller range would do the trick like 60%-75% reduced. The 3th Skill by the way is a bit expensiv ...75 energy for this shield ...

Decim0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 the shileds energy should be less than 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And well dont use the skill when u play with people then i never use it when i party with people i only use it when i solo. Mag's 4th ability has nowhere near the range. Imo volt should be wide area of affect, but low damage. Make it so it can kill mobs, but not bosses and commanders and give it a lesser effect the further away from the player it is. Or they could make it be low damage with the same range and it stuns mobs/bosses. Edited January 15, 2013 by Aggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicGenie Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 hey community Volts 4th skill has advantages and disadvantages advantages: 1.the attack is strong against robots and elektronic and really nice to destroy turrets and cameras (wunderfull to stay undetected). disadvantages: 1. if you play against infection and ther is no elektronik things to destroy anymore this attack does 0 damage. 2. if you have to destroy the reactor your 4th skills lose all his power when you play against grineer and infection. so in my opinion volts 4th skills is okay the only thing who disturbing me is the fact that i can 2 hit the strongest boss in the game (pluto boss). but there are much more ridicilous bug abuse against bosses :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyShadow Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It's supposed to be overpowerd, it's your last and more powerful ability, besides, Volt is a HIGH DAMAGE Warframe, read the description, and you're exagerating, is not that powerful and sometimes, if there's no electric elements, (lights, cameras, etc) it doesn't deal any damage and you waste your energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am riding the lightning. I went to Hades and triggered the Ulti, watched the Boss take 5 hits of 6000 damage each and keel over. That is a boss, dying from me walking into the room, pressing 4. That is not "exagerating". And it is, most definately, "that powerful". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkyoSonoda Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Skill is pretty much useless against infected ancients. Works fine clearing the mooks but the ancients appear to take no damage from it at all. Also seemed like some of the non infected bosses I fought werent effected by it either. On defense missions It tends to only have a single use since all the fighting is in 1 room and you blow out all the electric elements on the first use and wont even effect grineer or corpus units afterwards. The only real Issue I have with volt abilities are the energy costs for the 2nd and 3rd skill vs what small amount of utility they actually provide.

And even if there weren't, that's not a good enough balance for the massive damage and aoe. Edited January 16, 2013 by Aggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antimab-EGT- Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Oki i realized you can't use it twice at the same spots if lights allready out ....but still @(*()$ high dmg + hardcore range But I think some kind of rework should be done. but like already said i am new to the game ...

Zaxus Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The main reason volt is balanced is the fact that vs infestation it does almost no damage vs elites. Think of it this way... Ember = Infested Mag = Grineer Volt = Cronus Ember and Volt are a bit stronger imo, but mag does good versus all the types so it's why she's handicapped some on range.

UkyoSonoda Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Also keep in mind they are working on new tile sets so there could easily be missions in the future that arent on a giant metal box floating in space that conducts electricity.

UkyoSonoda Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 They nerf the damage or the insane range. If it's the range then I suppose they added incentive for volt users to try out mods that increase power range. I'd still rather them take a look at the 2nd and 3rd skills though. I mean skill 2 is basically a turbo sprint that burns 50 energy per use. Not exeptionally useful in most cases to be worth that much energy. Skill 3 burns 75 energy and pops up a relatively small immoble energy wall that you can use as cover from bullets. IMO not really useful either since physical cover is generally abundant and also infested dont use bullets. Also don't think it does anything vs shockwaves either.

Uhm...I'm not really sure to be honest, they didnt nerf damage since it still 1 hits normal enemies, and about range I'm not sure, because i have like +100+% and mine reaches pretty far, but it definitely isnt as devastating as it used to be. There is also a mass delay (about 5 seconds) for the lights to get blown out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldur Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) I think it might be broken accidentally now, I just used it about three times to test and it did no damage to enemies attacking me in melee range. As in they had full health and were standing next to me and I used it and afterwards they still had full health. I'm hoping that this is a bug or a hard reset of the skill. I'll be checking in every once in a while in future to test more though. Edited January 16, 2013 by Baldur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocare Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I dont know i like it. Volts 1 2 and 3 abilities are pretty lacking having one amazing skills is nice. PS those ancient infested are a pain to kill as Volts #1 does nothing to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyhelMont Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I agree that before was overpowered, so that only using 1 time, I could clean three rooms if I went running by them, but now 70% of the times that I use it causes no harm and sometimes the mobs which are surrounding me, kill me when I'm floating :S... and when it works even using rare mods and being lvl.30, it only lasts 3 seconds and kills up to 5 mobs at close range only... It's become completely useless, even the 1st skill is more powerful/useful now :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaxus Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah whatever they just did to volt it's horrid, workin on grinding a mag now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antimab-EGT- Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 The problem why it does no damage anymore is because if the lights are broken ...they are broken ....so you can't use the skill again, just read the skill description. But now the skill has become a bit too weak ... maybe something between like it is now and it was, would be a better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichijs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The best looking skill in the game! Great job devs!! I don't even care when my friend is using it because it looks awesome! And actually compared to other classes that skill is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
