Daziri Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) So... Lately when I've been hosting games (T3 Def in particular) people tend to go "aggro" on me because I don't use something like RJ Excali instead of Saryn... Today I got literally flamed because I went Saryn Prime on T3 Def (it's ironic because I was hosting the game, not the peeps who said that Saryn sucks (they had 15-20 MR)) I usually like to build my "team" of Frost, EV Trinity and Speed Nova. Now the reason I need Frost is obviously to defend the Pod, EV to feed me energy because my "EVSaryn" build has negative efficiency, for the sake of Power Strength. My Defense Saryn is actually quite strong... you notice the loss of strength after wave 35~ (but you are still able to oneshot the non-heavy units as long as they are spored) Here's an album of my Saryn builds (efficiency/energy vampire/rage -Saryn) http://imgur.com/a/2QNmF Now obviously Efficiency Saryn is for solo missions that are short and stuff, EV Saryn (like the name suggests) is heavily dependant on EV Trinity and it's purpose is to deal heavy DPS dmg & spreading Viral procs, it won't simply work without EV. Rage Saryn is pretty much strong as long as you also remember to use Toxic Lash (melee&sustain build so to say). The thing that bothers me so much is why so many people (especially those w/ high mastery rank) think that Saryn is still weak, when in reality she is one of the best debuffers aswell as DPS frames the game has? Now the question is, what do you guys think her current condition (as in strong-normie-weak) is? Do you think she is strong? Weak? Nothing special? And whatever your opinion is, I would love to see some context about it... Why do you think she's good, okay, weak? Edited April 6, 2016 by Ascended1QQ Fixed some typos.

(PSN)Elctrcstel Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) i haven't been player her that long, but from the builds that i researched prior to playing her and how much fun i have whil eplaying her, your builds are pretty nice. just gotta max those mods. when it comes down to it, just ask yourself "do I enjoy playing her?" if the answer is yes, dont worry about what people think. if no, try another fram or a different playstyle Edited April 6, 2016 by (PS4)Elctrcstel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my only Primed Flow and Continuity, and if I max those, every other frame of mine must be formad, and gonna wait until I get at least a Forma or two on my most used Frames (Ash, Nyx, Nova, Trinity, Mag, Excali, Ember) Also, thanks :) Edited April 6, 2016 by Ascended1QQ Additional thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caobie Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 as a saryn main (for the something like 2.5 years(..i was sooo happy when prime came)) i find that she is perfectly adequate in pretty much every aspect...her issue is that later on in long missions her setup time loses out really heavily to other damage frames like excal who dont need the setup and can just instant damage. however bringing her along with an excal or ash or other super heavy dps frame can extend the life of the mission by the vurtue of viral procs halving things health.

RagingGrizzly Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I don't play her that often to have a definitive answer for her usefulness, but I'm pretty sure she's in a better place now. The old Saryn didn't really scale well and she was a one trick pony. Wasn't very fun either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.chit.you.not Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 so how many times did the team had to revive you because enemy will 1 shot you after 10ish and what's the damage number looks like for the whole game, if 1 person had to carry too much of the game then it's unbalanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the T3 Defense's goal was to get to wave 40 and my EV Saryn build has problem getting us there in no time with the help of Speed Nova.

Her current powers are sync so well with eachother. 2 minutes ago, g4yb4ll said: so how many times did the team had to revive you because enemy will 1 shot you after 10ish and what's the damage number looks like for the whole game, if 1 person had to carry too much of the game then it's unbalanced None, because my range allowed me to do my job inside the Frost Bubble.

Hellmaker2004 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Saryn is one of the best damage dealers in the game, her only issues currently is single target and "complexity" and you are very unlikely to run into one of the scenarios since this is a hoard game. And as for complexity, yeah the game is bad at relaying information on how she deals damage but anyone who take the time to learn how she plays will soon learn how strong she can be. The only "problem" people seem to have with Saryn is that she is not a P42W anymore and that for some reason make a lot of people angry, i myself think her design is for the better.

(PSN)Magician_NG Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 When compared to other caster frames Saryn feels like a second-tier frame rather than god-tier. But that doesn't stop me from preferring Saryn for interception or defense missions against enemy levels 35 or lower. I think people would like Saryn more if her kit had more cc.

For me, Mass CC is far more important than DPS so I would rather have a few other frames than Sayrn in a 4 man team that are better for end game and not as energy dependent.

I respect the opinion of others.. let them think what they want to think. I'm just getting this feel that people won't give Saryn the chance to "prove" her better, healthier and stronger self. She is so strong. I guess so... it's kinda sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saryn is a small mix off CC as her Miasma does stun for a nice 2 seconds. That combined with Sancti Tigris, take out the heavy units while Miasma finishes off the weaker units without futher problem, even in late game. 3 minutes ago, (PS4)Magician_NG said: When compared to other caster frames Saryn feels like a second-tier frame rather than god-tier.

She has a stun on Miasma BUT I feel like her Molt explosion could blind nearby units "because of the toxins that explode out of it". Hmmh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daziri Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Sowwy :X but I'm not ready to max out mods until I've formad at least 6 more frames a couple times. My non-usually-used frames have normal Continuity/Flow but my most-used frames have Primed ones. I look forward on maxing Primed mods and Transient...

For CC I'm referring to 360 degree 30 meter Plus range, sadly Sayrn dosen't have this ability and it takes Sayrn more than 1 casting to cover 360 degrees (more energy). For me frames Like Loki,Mirage, Banshee can do a better job in a 4 man team than Sayrn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
