Talk:Saryn (Warframe)/@comment-24563582-20140522215823

Miasma has been played out. I'm currently sitting here with a huge smile on my face after running around with an undeveloped Saryn using Glaive Prime while under the effects of Contagion. Miasma cannot even come close to the damage output that this combo can achieve, especially when paired with Molt. You basically have your own little 'look at me' beacon while you mop up entire areas with Glaive Prime. Obviously, Miasma will hit a large area in one go whereas Glaive is more selective. However, I was dealing more than Miasma's max damage with Glaive Prime's AoE attacks without even trying...without even building to maximize damage. And you can perform these attacks many, many times for a single energy dump of Contagion. One would have to spam Miasma to achieve similar results. I suppose when it comes to Saryn, it will be a choice between what is superior and what is easily realized. This method is much more involved than simply using the number four button continuously. There is a chance for the Glaive to activate the AoE on the return, if it collides with an object (depending on Bounce setup). I believe it has even activated the AoE attack on my sentinel a few times.
