Talk:Oberon/@comment-109.49.115.41-20170429232310

I tried running a couple missions with the new Oberon and he feels like an Ember, but for heals instead of damage. Also, the tooltip mentions the cost per ally is 3e/s not affected by mods, but in those missions I constantly had everyone with my Renewal (and armor) and I was only losing about 0.5e/s, at max efficiency. It seems his abilities are still buggy or they're still trying to decide how to clean up the tooltips. Can anyone confirm his energy drain is indeed affected per ally? Do allies need to be actively receiving healing for the drain to increase?

Never been a fan of Oberon, but this guy seems good now. Radiation procs all around, good CC with his Reckoning, life-saving healing with his Renewal (and augment). The armor buffs also seem decent, though nothing compared to a Trinity's Blessing or Equinox's Pacify. But at least he's a bit more aggressive than Trinity, and can still support while doing damage unlike Equinox so bonus points for versatility.

There's also something that bugs me a bit. Why did they choose to add the scaling damage on Smite? I know Reckoning can be used for CC when spammed, but I believe there are better CC alternatives among other frames. If you're not going for the CC, then all you do is spam Smite for damage. Which means your ultimate ability is expensive and... weak. Any thoughts on this? Outside of CC (and the armor removal), how/when should I use Reckoning, if at all?
