Ivara 1's Ability and Sentinels

[0asu]

So has anyone else notice that you can't shoot a cloak arrow at your sentinel any more!?

This is perhaps the most severe stealth nerf Ivara can receive. (no pun intended)

DE pls revert changes FeelsBadMan

Scott on Dev Stream saying Cloak Arrow was tried and tested for placement on Sentinels

Yeah I've noticed this as well.

You can't stick it to yourself anymore either.

I liked the way that worked. But maybe with Prowl, they didn't think we needed it. I dunno.

Ivara can do 100 waves of T4D in solo mode. Please nerf other frames to her level.

That's a mission that requires very little movement

The skill idea is to create a stationary bubble of invisibility, not shoot yourself and make it mobile. If they want to make it work that way, it would be since Ivara's launch. It was a exploit, Ivara already have Prowl.

Can you still hit teammates with it? Because that's literally what I do 90% of the time when I'm playing her.

Yes you can, and rescue/defense sortie targets.

Good. 

Ivara is really strong but her power is very conditional and requires setup, giving her Loki-level invis just makes her broken.

It was an exploit in the sense that shooting a cloak arrow at a sentinel was making full use of a resource, it was not an exploit in the sense that players were using the cloak arrow for an unfair/selfish reason.

Yeah, Ivara is already incredibly broken and doesn't need any more help.  Sleep arrows alone let her solo almost all content, not even mentioning prowl and invis arrows.  The zipline and noise arrows are a bit more situational but still incredibly useful, and navigation lets her hit her mark with any of her 1 ability arrows or any other projectile with unerring accuracy.  Literally the only thing that isn't insanely overpowered about her is her 4 ability, and even that is useful for clearing large groups of weak enemies.

Is it a nerf? I don't think her stealth is supposed to be used like this, and she already has Prowl. And after this tweak Ivara is still very powerful.

They literally spoke of this exact usage of the ability in a Devstream PRIOR to Update 18, very excitedly at the most as well. Then they remove it.

Oh no, Ivara is doing better than Ash and Excalibur, nerf please!

 

Am I doing it right? =v

She's no more broken than someone like Banshee or Rhino. 

Ivara's abilities have an average power baseline, but can be used together to increase that cap. 

For instance, prowl makes you invisible at the cost of not being able to move around quickly, set up a couple of wires however and you can cover a lot of ground undetected pretty quickly. 

Sleep arrows are strong, but are a targeted AOE, you have to make sure they are active and manually aim them to hit enemies with the CC as opposed to blinds etc.

I've seen something like that with Banshee lately.
