Caernarvon Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Right now the cloak is barely usable against Grineer as every time you go in to take advantage of the bonus melee damage, AOE units will target the sentinel and pound your &#! into oblivion. Heavies (shockwave), Napalms (huge range incendiary grenades), etc. It also triggers Shockwave Moa attacks. Oh and of course, this means your Sentinel will die real fast. Come on DE.

Samwise_Gamgee Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I played loki for a while and really enjoyed it, but then I made an Ash by chance and haven't gone back to loki.Ash seems a lot less squishy and has damaging abilities, I just wish I had a decoy instead of teleport...though I'll live without it. Ash's invisibility does cloak the sentinel, and that's something I really enjoy because when I was loki, I would go invisible and then my sentinel would die, goodbye shield regeneration, shielding while reviving comrade, slowing down enemies, cloaking me when I need to reload.That's a huge part of my gameplay, so I'm staying with ash's invisibility even though the duration is shorter.

Chronodroid Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have to unequip Sentinels on Loki (and then I forget to re-equip them when switchting for 1-2 missions)... Not nice, so please, cloak them too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LasersGoPewPew Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 ash cloaks the sentinel because its' an aoe ability, loki just waves his hand and he's invisible with some wierd carpet trail around his body no aoe affect that would give the tell tail sign of "my sentinel is invisible with me" like the smoke spreading throughout the area for a few seconds from ash's smoke bomb.

Visuals don't mean much about ability effects. See how some Ember abilities have fire that spreads over a huge area when the damage is only applied to half that. Cloak needs to affect sentinels or it becomes useless against choice targets like Grineer heavies. Also, use commas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3Evanescence Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Totally agree that Loki needs to cloak sentinels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 It's been asked since sentinels were released (U7)... Come on DE! It's been months! Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase I wanna see that in the next hotfix! (That's what I'm telling myself every week ><) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrobudyn Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 ash cloaks the sentinel because its' an aoe ability, [...] I thought the same way until i played Ash. If it was AOE it should cloak Your teammates right? Well, it doesn't. No matter how close You come to them. On the topic. I think that ALL abilities that buff warframes should also buff sentinels. I.e. Ember's Overheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix86 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Rhino + max rush + vandal helmet + shade = Loki on steroids edit: lol, back on topic i support this, i dont even remember how many times in how many topics i've said this. (tbh it would be enough if heavy units simply stopped to perform their actions... aoe KD, ancient's attacks...)

Same question but for ash. The sent just disappears so I'm not sure if it died or is just invis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So God mode isn't ez enough... we need sentinels too? If it's a bug, then fine... lets get it fixed... otherwise lets let this topic die.

Brimir Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Pretty sure it does, Ash players never complain about it. It does cloak it, which is great. However, Bladestorm makes ASH invunerable while his Sentinel doesn't become invunerable which makes it so it takes all enemy fire as they teleport around so ASH has some serious Sentinel problems too.... If you hit max targets with Bladestorm then your Sentinel is guaranteed to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty_Shuffler Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I agree that the sentinel should be cloaked too. But: Right now the cloak is barely usable against Grineer as every time you go in to take advantage of the bonus melee damage, AOE units will target the sentinel and pound your &#! into oblivion. Heavies (shockwave), Napalms (huge range incendiary grenades), etc. It also triggers Shockwave Moa attacks. Oh and of course, this means your Sentinel will die real fast. Come on DE. Don't take a sentinel when playing Loki! Well, until/if they allow sent cloaking. Edited August 6, 2013 by Shifty_Shuffler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
