Where to even begin....

1.  Warcry works during Hysteria (just tested it).

2.  It is not always about the sheer numbers (which by the way is still decent with 20k crits with a dual ichor crit + steel charge build and an instant kill on the ground finisher for many of those pesky high lv 80+ void heavy gunners. Though I will say the dmg is a bit lower than it used to be, but you can channel during hysteria for that extra dmg), utility plays a big part in why you would use hysteria. While in hysteria, not only are you immune to damage, you are also immune to knockdowns and other crowd control as well as other annoyances (electric eximus and hyena EMP pulses, ancient disrupter energy drains, etc). This utility can help you and your squad mates survive where a warcry + life strike might have some difficulty. Also, while in hysteria you can run into an enemy group and draw aggro away from your team and fulfill a role as a kind of "super tank".

3. Yes you are stuck in melee while under the effects of hysteria which kind of sucks but it can be worked around by:

A: having rip line equipped as a mobility tool (as a side bonus you can rip those obnoxious grineer hellions out of                   the sky to finish them).

B: using the sprint + slide+ jump front flip to close gaps and then ground slam to knock down nearby enemies for the                    finisher, or launching yourself off walls to close those distances.

C. using paralysis to expose the enemies to an auto crit attack (least useful option)

I will say that hysteria only truly shines at higher difficulty levels and is a bit of a waste on anything below T3 void missions.

Sincerely, a player who has used valkyr since her release.
