Mag, strength or duration

[Blue_Gardevoir]

Hi everyone. I'm not looking for a build but for information and personal preferences. What work better with Mag? Strength or duration? And under what circumstances? Please elaborate on your choice, if possible.

[MagPrime]

My default is strength for my Mag Prime, with some moderate efficiency.  

The reason I chose this is because it works with my play style; I tend to move around a lot, so a duration build would be useless (Polarize stops progressing if you recast it)

both.

super high Duration can become superfluous in some situations, but you want some of both.

I use range, surprisingly I guess. Range and Strength makes Magnetize a nuke. Personal preference but its amazing for any sort of defense, especially try it on ODD (Orokin Derelict Defense).

I just try to max Efficiency with the Streamline+FP combo while keeping Duration relatively neutral with Primed Continuity, and I don't really have any other useful power mods after that aside from Intensify and Stretch.

After that it's just your standard P Flow, Redirection, Vitality. Can't remember what's in my last slot at the moment.

Range and Efficiency are what I've focused on for my general use build:

Energy Syphon, Enemy Sense
Intensify, Transient Fortitude
Stretch, Overextended
Streamline, Fleeting Expertise (R3)
Primed Continuity, Vitality

More Range is just too good, be it for Pull CC (right into Magnetize woo),
larger Magnetize bubbles and bursts, wider Polarize AoE damage
or just Crush catching more enemies (at worst for CC purposes).

Slightly negative Duration makes Magnetize pop earlier
so you get that large AoE burst faster and don't hinder Squadmates too much,
Polarize still covers a decent bit of ground.

I run with high efficiency, improved Strength and Range, with reduced Duration (roughly 10s Magnetize). I find more frequent Magnetize explosions is more useful than a long lasting bubble. I can simply cast another bubble if need be.

strength then range efficiency and duration to taste, if that makes any sense, depending on with powers you will utilize more efficiency duration and range should be modded accordingly,

This is almost my exact build for Mag Prime.  I love it.  Pull then melee enemies that survive pulls damage.  Crush is just so nice with high power strength.  hehe.
