Zsword Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 honostly, having the 2 halves fighting at the same time seems like such a no duh design choice for a duality character I'm amazed it wasn't her Ult in the first place. Which Syndicates have her, Perrin and Veil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_m3nace Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 its the worst augment for her, a base of 7 seconds is nothing. not only that I didnt see it use powers of any kind. however her other augment is glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOvion Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 My main complain is that it's only 7 seconds.I'd rather drain-over-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsword Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Well, Seven Seconds just means switch often, make use of both worlds of her powers to the fullest? Okay really I have no idea, that sounds obscenely low for a summon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)vamp6x6x6x Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Does duration effect the 7 seconds? Also, can the other form use abilities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM-Bunny Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 For some reason your video of Agent Smith and the complaints about duration made me think of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsiWarp Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 That 7 seconds is barely enough time for the specter to move into position and decide to fire its gun, never mind trying to melee anything when its busy following you around. Please bump the duration up. Before the augment came out, I expected its duration to match Metamorphosis' decaying buff duration, but I guess that would have been too much with the damage this thing can deal. But honestly, 7 seconds is way too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ailith Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Does duration effect the 7 seconds? Also, can the other form use abilities? Duration does affect the specter, mine lasts 16 seconds with R8 Primed Continuity, R6 Narrow Minded, and Maxed Constitution. Even with just a 7-second duration, it's enough to give you a burst of firepower on-demand (especially with the Hek, seriously). I do agree that it should probably last longer, but the full duration of Metamorphosis might be too much (mine lasts 1 minute with the mods listed above). The specter can't use abilities. It also only uses the weapon that you're wielding at the time of creation, which is quite useful since it's a bit more flexible than a normal specter. You can clear rooms with dual shotguns, pump out enough lead to destroy atoms with four Grakatas, or fight back-to-back in a sea of Infested with your favorite melee. It may not be the best augment, but it's certainly not worthless and I'm having fun with it so far. Edited February 5, 2016 by Ailith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomurah Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 with 254% duration, i get about 24 seconds, which is still underwhelming. it's a really fun mod augment to use, regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 well, I always suspected Equinox had a split personality.... ..I'll show myself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defendor Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The problem with Duality is that switching deactivates Equinox's auras, so it's really unwieldy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the augment really shines light on how annoying the form-switching mechanic currently is. I really hope they change Pacify/Provoke and Mend/Maim to just transfer to the other form (and keep stored damage, in Mend/Maim's case)..

I really hope they change Pacify/Provoke and Mend/Maim to just transfer to the other form (and keep stored damage, in Mend/Maim's case).. Transferring stored damage would be absurdly overpowered. No, it should burst on switch but already be running. But, I think that's a technical limitation - they're despawning your warframe and loading in another, mechanically speaking. Only reason I can think of for there to be a delay. That said, to the rest of the thread: The point of this augment is to encourage frequent switches, not allow you to stay in one form forever with a ridiculously powerful AI gun buddy. To my understanding, most people just play day form exclusively and maim all day - the aug isn't for them. Switch and use both kits; Duality isn't a SotD-style summon, it's a rapid response, high intensity mobile strike on demand... it's also practically free.

I agree but it still needs a slight buff on duration I'll say a 12 second base is fine so you don't have to specialize on duration, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell it's the AI that needs fixing, not the duration. If it didn't spend so long tracking targets, 7s would be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphic-Sandra Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 They should just change it to drain instead of duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with this, is that 7 seconds doesn't leave you with enough time to really do anything before I have to switch again to respawn the other half.

ThorienKELL Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Who ever though about 7 seconds being enough. If other half can't use powers, even more so. I can bring a spectre and it lasts forever, this thing should last 20 seconds base, 40 seconds max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
