I can definitely say that the augment still works absolute wonders. However, the farming group was very specific and it was focused around Hydroid's tentacles doing the vast majority of the killing. I was using a high duration (224%) and strength (261%) build with half range (49%) and low efficiency (85%) along with Zenurik focus for energy regeneration. We were funneling everything through the tentacles. I would always make sure to enter the puddle before charge casting the tentacles in order to get the most out of the tentacles and confine them to the area of my puddle.

We ran Ophelia for Polymer Bundles consisted of a Hydroid (of course), a Speednova, and two Nekros; We all ran Corrosive Projection. The speednova was there for the obvious reason of speeding everything up but also there to make the tentacle's damage last longer (the tentacles were doing about 5000 damage a second with Molecular Prime up). We actually originally brought an EV trin and only one Nekros the first time, but I didn't have any energy problems and we found that the tentacles were killing so fast the bodies would despawn before a single desecrate aura could get them all. I highly recommend bringing that second Nekros.

All in all, we were getting about 10,000 polymer every 20 minutes without resource boosters, drop chance boosters, or anything else that might have helped increase the loot chance. Just a resource booster would bring that to 20,000 polymer every 20 minutes. It's way more than you can get with just a couple of Nekros.
