The "Assumption" is poor to describe Terrify, I've already stated the 20% armor reduction is negligible at High lvls making the buff almost useless and the ability itself is not a decent Panic button, I didn't state that one should rely on Terrify for everything one does, I described Terrify as a Panic button that is limited to a fault of what it can do to scatter enemies when you're surrounded and the fact that it relies so heavily on Power, Duration, and somewhat on Range hinders it's effectiveness. Terrify should be a good panic button but it can't be used as one in it's current state due to it's mechanics. The ability competes with SOTD and Desecrate (to some extent) for efficient modding which is not exactly good considering the limitations of the current Modding system.

As for Desecrate, apologies for the ambiguity but I wasn't stating that Nekros players don't equip Equilibrium to make efficient use of the ability. I stated that a lot of players don't equip Equilibrium in favour of Corrupted mods that are pertinent to their Warframe despite a Nekros present, therefore the potential Energy supply is lost. The Ammo drop is nice but the Health orbs becomes far too much of a clutch heal at Higher lvls imo. The addition of Team Ammo x10s makes it far easier to replenish ammo for the entire team with no energy spent nor does it require much effort to drop 2 of it at the same time and again there's the problematic body searching. This is the best ability Nekros has and none of his others rival the utility of this.

SOTD is definitely not bad, the ability's concept seems quite appealing but I think some of it's mechanics kills the potential of what it could be right now and is nothing but a gimmick. I don't care about the damage those Copies do and I don't expect much players to care as well in the end-game especially if one is aiming beyond lvl 40-50. All I care about is the ability for each of those Copies to draw an appreciable amount of Aggro away and tank them for my team and my objective. The killing part is just icing on the cake. The Aggro drawing and tanking is minimal for each Copy, usually only 2 or 3 maybe 4 are attracted and the rest comes swarming. The ability disappointly lacks synergy imo with other Warframes, there's interesting late game synergy with Nova and Nyx 4 and 3 combo respectively but there isn't any of that with Nekros's ult. Similar to Terrify, it relies heavily on Power and Duration. Adding to the problems of efficient modding.
