Talk:Ash (Warframe)/@comment-72.240.69.140-20140511030736

People saying Ash sucks clearly just don't know how to use him. I don't know what you guys are doing wrong, but Teleport and Smoke Bomb are fantastic skills at any level. I prefer Teleport to Switch (and it's cheaper) and I prefer Smoke Bomb to Invisibility (The group stun is way more party friendly, and means that I don't have to build heavily for duration), but those are just personal choices. And Bladestorm wipes base units and corrupted ancients for quite awhile (4k Finishing Damage goes a long ways, double for ancients), sure you have heavies, but nothing in the game one shots T3 corrupted heavies (save maybe an Ogris, maybe...). Stop trying to use BladeStorm by itself to take out heavies, either soften them up for your allies, or use it when the Nova and/or Rhino have their buffs up. Seriously, it's like people can't fathom the concept of 16k armor ignoring damage.

TD;CR: Use Teleport+Smokescreen for T3 heavy gunners, then Bladestorm for the weaker guys or ancients. Or have Nova and/or Rhino buff you before storming.
