ZinGrin Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've been thinking lately if all sentinels got vacuum, what companion would I use instead? Would Carrier's new ability be worth it to keep using? So, lets say all sentinels (maybe kubrows) got a built in modless vacuum ability. 1. What is your current companion of choice? If you switched to another, what would it be? (Include weapon if relevant) 2. What would carrier's new ability be that would make you want to use or keep using Carrier?

Hawk_of_the_Reborn Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Carrier, because other sentinels would still be useless as S#&$. Besides, Carrier Prime is still a thing, especially after that obsurd Dirgia/Vulklok nerf-storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFalseEclipse Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Carrier| Diriga Capability to store energy, health, and ammo to use when it really needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Momaw Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Nope. Currently use Raksa Kubrow and Wyrm Prime. I wouldn't switch to another because these companions have strong utility that suits my play style. Vacuum simply isn't an issue for me because I haven't forgotten how to pick up loot by walking over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-Shadowblade Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 1. I do use carrier for harvesting sake a lot but if I change it I like the new dirga and its stunlocking abilities. Nothing more satisfying than watching a helpless heavy gunner as I reload my tigris. 2. Personally I'd like it to spray out a small minefield every so often that creates blast procs when walked over.

Kinetos Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Wouldn't make a difference, I frequently swap companions anyway and usually don't use carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)PillarOfWar Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Wyrm prime aka Chinese food menu dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonspartan1 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 for me i would still keep my carrier prime as i does have the highest base heath out of all sentinals and highest base of all sentinals (wyrm prime has the same armour rating though). as for carrier's abiltiy (if it was going to change) i would say it should supply you with ammo every now and then.

Shozanakh Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Now I use Carrier 99% of time. If vacuum will be shared between all sentinels, I will swtch to Cube for general use, Wyrm against infected. Carrier - maybe, depends on new trait. Carrier must carry something useful, maybe +20% ammo reserve for guns or extended energy pool. Edited September 14, 2015 by Shozanakh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1387 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I hate the idea of giving all sentinels vacuum, It just feels cheap to me for everything to have that ability. It should be something special like it is now. The others just need buffs/ability reworks that would entice players to leave carrier behind and I think dirigawas a step in the right direction before the nerf. It did need to be nerfed but not as bad as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only DE would make any other sentine actually useful, and not just mastery fodder, then maybe I might use something other than my Phoenix Carrier/Carrier Prime. I do like a Sunika Kubrow though. Watching it tackle and one-shot heavy units with no trouble at all feels empowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draven_Luv Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 -snip- Vacuum simply isn't an issue for me because I haven't forgotten how to pick up loot by walking over it. Agreed. Although, I'm not gonna lie...for most of my early warframe days I did use carrier just for the purpose of vacuum...mostly because when runnin' in matches I'd fall behind. But after a year, I'd stick with my Huras Kubrow any day. Thinking more about it as days pass from the last dev stream...Honestly, placing vacuum on other sentinels would be like releasing a band-aid mod. I think that all the sentinels should be looked at! Buffed up in needed areas, possibly redesigned a bit or polished up. If they all have the ability to the one same thing.....we're still going to go for which one is strongest support. Which still seems like people are going to go for the carrier. Sentinels are there for support, not there to do the job for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickleMonster21 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'd be using Helios, if I'm being honest. I'm a scan-@#&*(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7grims Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 probabbly cube, or diriga, but i heard some ppl cry it got nerfed already xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhisperByte Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I would go back to using Shade. Maybe Helios if I had no need for credits at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzaro21 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I would use Chinese dragon, for its CC, also diriga and shade are my favorites along with carrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)GallonOfSkimMilk Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Depending on the ability Carrier would get I'd switch to wyrm prime most likely, but I haven't been able to use drigia yet on ps4 so maybe that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr33hn Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I only use Carrier when I am specifically farming for something, most times I dont use a companion at all. Those times I bring a companion just for lulz it almost always is Wyrm Prime because it looks the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteoHatto Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes for me, i'd use shade probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama_Sasha Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) That would ruin the purpose of Carrier for waht it was made for. Every sentinel have been built for a specific purpose, may it be pure damage such as Dethcube, or for collecting resources like Carrier, or perhaps stunlock enemies that Diriga can do. If you give all sentinels vacuum, not only would that show how lazy The Tenno have become, but also makes Carrier worthless to get. The whole idea and attraction of Carrier was about the vacuum. Giving all sentinels vacuum, and Carrier looses its purpose, and it becomes just a shotgun drone. Edited September 14, 2015 by Cebius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painterman Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yea, probably diriga if its acurrazy get fixed, and also would migrate to doges( if the chessa abiliti is good enoug), probabli the stealh one, but sunikas are also fun. I dont know wat would keep me using carrier, but it should be prety good comparing to other things( stunlock and cloack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracorean Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Given that "Animal Instinct" functions like vacuum to me, I find myself using Helios, diriga, and shade. Helios for utility, diriga for offensive cc, and shade for survivability. Though I do use different weapons on them such as a high status vulklok for shade, sweeper for helios, and deth rifle for diriga which all seem to function effectively.

blazekan5 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Carrier prime because it can survive longer, hence making sweeper prime last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
