Talk:Saryn (Warframe)/@comment-181.14.183.111-20151105075456

first I need to say that miasma at the beginning was a shitty skill and only worked properly when corrupted mods were introduced, making it able to deal more damage in almost no time with negative duration, which it wasn't designed to work as that but reworks wasn't on the table back then and this was the only way for people to use saryn, moded with duration to benefit all their powers made no advantage at all with her. the devs now try to make it work as intended since a while back.

pre rework saryn miasma applied corrosive, making it extremly usefull in end game to kill every thing for the armor reduction as the inteligent part of the player base knows, corrosive is better than any other proc in the game for that, but now if it still applies corrosive the base damage is so little that is almost none, if it is there (I believe I see two digit numbers in the procs)

now instead of spam 4 for 25 energy we need to use 2+1+3 +4 to get supposedly the same effect and while it takes more energy + more time to properly spread the spores and apply viral/toxin procs to get that supposed +100% for each proc type damage on the miasma... which is not working, viral plus double damage should make the miasma deal considerable damage compared to it without the proc, the reason is, viral reduces the HP of the enemy to 50% that plus 200% extra damage of the miasma should make a big difference which is not there, I have been testing builds and nothing seems to get half effect of the pre rework saryn.

use a ignis with viral plus other status to apply the proc faster or spread the spores better and still miasma don't kill.

synergy is great to keep in mind to rework frames but make the players use the four powers in order to get one result is not a good way to do the things, the spores and molt combo is fine, miasma should work fine with only one status instead of needing both, so the players can CHOOSE that way if play using toxic lash with melee or use a gun and pop the spores.
