LazyBlissIV Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 We all know that Magnetic procs are trash, but what if we got an additional effect of magnetized foes pulling in incoming fire for the duration of the status proc. what are your thoughts? Good, bad, annoying??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aligatorno Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 That's already what Void status procs do. All status effects will get reworked in the coming months, so Magnetic will get revised as well most likely. Hopefully it they'll give it a worthy effect.

Good, bad, annoying??? I'm not sure I understand... however, it seems like you're saying that magnetized foes would pull in fire as if they are being affected my Mag's Bullet Attractor. However, if you are wanting to talk about procs that are inflicted on the Warframes, I think that a good way to make being affected by a Magnetic proc dangerous would be to make the affected player attract incoming bullets. Seems effective. At the moment I never notice when I am affected by a Magnetic proc. But if the enemy's bullets suddenly started chasing me down, that would definitely make me notice.

Foefaller Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) I think I neat, useful proc would be to have it disable auras and certain other abilities. Like, Mag Proc a Corrupted Ancient, and it's no longer protecting everything around it with it's aura. Proc on an Energy Leech Eximus, and your energy in no longer being drained. Proc on a Comba, and your abilities aren't disabled. Might also work for things like the Homing effect on Bombards/Napalms, various Bursa abilites and disable the ability for things like Hekka tamers to spawn enemies of their own.

LazyBlissIV Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 That's interesting, I wasn't aware of void status procs having that effect. Also I thought damage 2.5 was only touching IPS damage types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former is correct. I had a bullet attractor like effect in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the concept, I think I'd like it even more if every enemy type had at least some kind of unique effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something I have been promoting for over a year now. Magnetic procced enemies will only be able to use their weapons. No grapple hooks, no auras, no Eximi abilities, no ground slams, no teleports, no plasma grenades, no special abilities of any kind. Just the weapon they carry. That said, the Bombard's homing capabilities are a part of the weapon, not the enemy itself, which would make it very hard to program magnetic procs to disable it. It would probably require giving them a different weapon for the duration of the proc, and that could cause a lot of potential bugs. Also, Napalms don't have homing projectiles. And this would obviously not affect bosses, as most of their attacks are abilities, as opposed to weapons. Jackal, Lek Krill, and the Sargent are some of the few with dedicated weapons. Also, Sargas Ruk, (Mutalist) Alad V, Lek Krill, and Tyl Regor all have to use abilities for the fight to continue, so having the new magnetic affect them would be a bad thing for players. So the new magnetic procs couldn't affect bosses, but it would still be worth using on everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiation does nothing to slow aura of a Arctic Eximus, or the fire blast of a Arson Eximus. It only disables beneficial auras on enemies. We want magnetic to disable detrimental auras on us.

Warframe has an addiction with making things it doesn't want Players doing mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
