Talk:Saryn (Warframe)/@comment-61.247.11.144-20151105144604

Been testing on new Saryn just now and while it does requires more skill combination to get higher damage count, new Saryn seems better than the old ones. I play Saryn since Valkyr just came out and for me this new mechanic does plays differently than the old Saryn. New Saryn has faster casting speed, higher Energy pool, and her Spore are much better than the previous. And with her Miasma reworked to go along with Duration, I can build my Saryn for semi-support debuff or full-spammy combo for higher damage. And this is much more diverse than her previous one, which either go full "press4towin" or grab other frames.

Although I do welcome her new rework, I still wanted that Saryn could have given better rework than this. Miasma now relies on how well you do the skill combo, and if you happens to have little Energy to spare, then better think of backup plan (or RUN if you happens to go for lv80+). In full squad play however, new Saryn plays really well with Trinity that could provide with "limitless" Energy. And IF you play new Saryn and have Trinity on your squad, just build with Power mod, Range mod, and Duration mod so that you can do huge damage on quite large area and let Trinity do the heal and energy re-supply. Well, you might think "And if that happens, doesn't that Saryn goes back to her previous job as spam 4 to win?" I'd say, partly yes and partly no. Yes, if you play in a squad, just go for her usual job. No, if you play in squad and they have max Power Mesa or other AoE damager, you can play as support and spam that Venom Dose to Mesa?AoE frame while yourself still be able to play as secondary damager or more on debuff the enemy. With previous Saryn, you will be ridiculed for playing as semi support Saryn because your 4 sucks with having more Duration :) (I know because I have tested the feasibility of support Saryn pre-rework, and my squad mate just said "uninstall lol, your saryn sucks at killing stuff" while himself forgot that I gave him Venom Dose for him to dealt HUGE damage in that mission).

Do I have to be happy with the rework? Not really. Do people should be happy with the rework? Not really. Why? Because it's simply what Saryn should be done from the start. Too late for DE to kick out "stigma" of press 4 to win for Saryn. But at least it's better late than never, right?
