Couponbook Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) what do you think of mag? do you have tips? i think they need to remove pull or bull attractor. both are single target skills. i use only Crush. i can't find the way to use other skills properly. all decks in mine are for attribute bonus.

DenAcied Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Personally I like the pull + melee or pull + shotgun combo as well, it's an efficient way to single out a target from a group as opposed to taking on the grop as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rue_ Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Pull is nice when you want melee fun. Pull and slash. You can be like scorpion from Mortal Kombat :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satwo Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 i think itd be cool if you could pull yourself to things, rather then just pull enemies or allies to yourself. somewhat like a grapple. who says loki and excal should be the only ones to climb fast? its mag. MAG! mag should be able to move just as easily with those abilities. things like, lockers, heavy enemies, consoles, and explosive barrels are just a few things thatd be cool to grapple to. it might be too overpowered to have her pull herself to walls/ceilings/floors. the game already has a rushing problem and that would just elevate it a bit more then nessesary.

Couponbook Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) mag needs AOE skills except crush. pull is really lame. i think they need to remove bullet attractor. it is more lame than pull Edited May 19, 2013 by Couponbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganpot Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Bullet Attractor is actually extremely useful against bosses, especially if you have an Excalibur in your party (Bullet Attractor + Radial Javelin = massive damage). The ability also stops the main target from firing its gun (and others nearby as well). So it's decent as it is. Pull's main use is ripping the shields away from the shield Grineer, and pulling downed teammates to your position. It's a bit niche, but still useful. I do think that the casting animation should be decreased though. It feels like something which should take effect immediately (not after 1 second). Shield Polarize is by far Mag's weakest ability. No one ever uses it, for two reasons. You can't tell how low on shields an ally is during a frantic fight, and it does terrible shield damage against enemies. It should just drain an enemy's entire shield and recharge 40% of Mag's in the process. Crush is fine at the moment (I think most people will agree with this).

OoKeNnEtHoO Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Really?! I find her bad &#!. I've been trying to farm for her systems. Once I have that I'll be building my 9th frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickeltoe Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Pull is really useful for me in 3 areas... One is for pulling off Grineer shields when I am using a ranged weapon. The second one is just simply pulling enemies to me for Melee death. Third and most useful. Use frost on weapons, get jumped by 2 or more ancients, keep 1 or 2 frost, pull the third down so you do not get drained of energy or face the poison damage that ignores shields. Mag's enormous amount of shields is also really awesome. Use pull to make sure you never take poison damage and its golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWGUNITALPHA Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Mag is pretty lame. I like Mag a lot but her abilities are really, really situational except crush. And then they nerfed crush recently and turned it into a 100 energy death button so there's that. But hey you can still pull enemies. Except half the time they don't fall down anyway and just keep shooting you in the face? And shield polarize doesn't work sometimes either for some reason. Last night no matter what I did it wouldn't charge the shields on the pod as it got shot to death. So basically Mag is buggy as hell and they took out her panic button.

Stupid_Idiot Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Mag isn't as lame as you think. Shield polarize have saved various times when the rest of the team aren't up to the task in defense/mobile defense, and pull is very good skills in interrupting your important targets like bosses and such. (I am told bullet attractor is the tool to get bosses to kill themselves, but I haven't use it much because I haven't put a reactor into my Mag). All that plus a nuke-like ability that can be extended with your custom helmet. in all she is as much powerful as any other frame you bother putting a potato in. There are some rough corners like pod shield glitch, but perhaps every frame got their own problems due to bugs at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 215% accuracy last night farming Hek for trinity blueprints getting him to shoot himself in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoompigXD Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Use crush to kill all the little guys first. then once you have gathered energy from their dead bodies use her first 2 abilties to single out the remaning big guys. Sadly bullet attractor only works on Grineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly bullet attractor only works on Grineer. Except that if there's even one dude still around they can tear through you pretty badly now that you don't get any invincibility frames during crush. One guy manage to escape crush's range? Maybe he wandered into the room from the next one over? Or maybe Crush just bugged out like its want to do. Well now they can just shoot you for the like five seconds you're stuck standing there while they tear your shields apart and then mag's squishy health is gone.

HomeyCDawg Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Bullet Attractor and Crush are fine imo. I think that Shield Polarize needs to have a stronger effect, and Pull should have a AOE around the targeted enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunaMayo Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well who knows what future powers may entail for mag, with control of gravity future powers could be very versatile. For example she may get a power that reverses gravity in a certain AoE, throwing enemies to the ceiling or out the map, or maybe added gravity to her boots meaning indefinite wallrunning? I'm just spitballing here, original frames do have rather similar skillsets which hopeful with the new mod system and frame powers will become more versatile.

Mercathin Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Mag was my starter frame. Absolutely loved the play style and really shined during grineer missions. She has really high shields so can take a few more hits than other frames in that regard as well. Pull and crush were my go to abilities, mainly because the other two were situational, and in shield polarizes case, hard to effectively use at times. Good frame overall, and if I made her again, think I could do it more justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWGUNITALPHA Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 What? No more invincibility during crush cast? You sure? Died doing it multiple times last night. To a variety of enemies too. Several other frames got hit with this nerf too. Pretty much anyone with a cool ult like Mag and Banshee. Volt and apparently Saryn too, but they at least have shorter cast times.

This is skewing the balance towards frames with instant skills pretty badly. And of course Vauban just happens to have his ulti happen independently of him... Wonder if they made Nyx take damage during absorb as well? You know, for the lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VScipii26 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Shield polarize+defense mission=Significantly fewer lost mods. Even unranked, I remember it pushing the object's shields up by about 1/5th, which is more than you think.I think the proble you have is that it's not enough damage and blast skills.
