LAWD Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 So I've been playing a lot of Nidus lately, and i have come up with suggestions to make game-play a bit diverse or similar: Virulence augment- Nidus performs ability as per usual, however after the patch of infested-spikes disappear, a path of Toxin based acid is left behind. Id imagine it having a cloud produce from this said path like 'hot coffee'. Enemies that cross into the path have a chance to proc'd Corrosive/Toxin. Clouds only do damage over time Another Virulence augment- As Nidus performs the ability, just as he stomps the ground, has a chance to knockdown enemies in a radius. Enemies could as well stay down for a certain duration/or not. It could be like a lesser stomp. So i haven't ocme up with creative names for abilities yet, welcome and thanks for looking .

It would be really cool especially with Ravenous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Licitaqua Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 another good idea, would be to make the skill spread out in not just one line, but in a cone in front of nidus, allowing it to hit more for less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 2 can already pull a lot of enemies to one point and then use virulence on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most augments (not all) come at a small cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xekrin Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 The ultimate idea for a Nidus augment (perhaps for his 4th ability). Any enemy that dies on the infested area has a chance to become infested themselves with a 25% chance to fight for Nidus for x seconds. I would love to watch some enemies turn into infested right before my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be described by enhancing the maggots with a chance to reproduce asexually. (spitting eggs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That exploding is pretty high damage itself. I think a good one for the 4th would be having th maggots fly lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just do the 25% chance to join Nidus, that's all. The same could be said for "how do corrupted get corrupted" in fissure missions. 3 minutes ago, LAWD said: I think they were actually created just for exploding.

Sounds good to me! Though the important part (for me) would be watching grineer lancers twist and contort into chargers and such. Also would like to see WTH turns into an ancient.

Also would like to see WTH turns into an ancient. in order for that to work, the devs woudl first have to create new moddles for base infested using grineer moddles. all the infested are corpus moddles because of alad v using infested after we fought him over zanuka, its also why eris is an infested planet. it might sound nice, but i dont see DE doing all that work and adding so many new moddles into the game just for a single augment for a single warframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the virulence aug above, they explode and release cloud of toxin? however i'd suite it to just be as it is right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
