Talk:Mag (Warframe)/@comment-26298187-20130822164054/@comment-107.7.27.190-20130903165428

I'm not going to try to be the one to determine what is "high level play" but I will tell you that Mag (just like every other frame) with an appropriate setup can handle just about any situation.

What some people fail to realize about shield polarize is that it doesn't matter if the enemy is level 15 or 150 but 50% is still 50% whether it's 200 or 2000 shield damage. It's not affected by armor and enemy level doesn't make its usefullness diminish. Plus it's instant shields to teammates. And when playing endless/mobile defense against enemies that high, it's good to have a "failsafe" for that situation.

I've played as Rhino/Vaub/Nyx (no nova sry) and I played with those characters as my own Mag and the synergy is great. Yeah they can do their thing without her, but Mag helps support the team... which is what she was designed for in the first place.

Mag isn't a dedicated offensive powerhouse like Ash/Nova or a defensive tank like Rhino/Trinity. Mag delivers the tactical support to assist these frames. That's probably what Shadow meant when he made his post.
