Talk:Valkyr (Warframe)/@comment-173.62.188.221-20131223184343

I like the idea of her abilities, but warcry is too frustrating to actually use with its absurdly long cast time, ripline seems to be somewhat erratic in the amount that it actually moves you forward. Sometimes I get shot across the map and other times I go about 5 meters and stop. Paralysis is actually very funny when you can infinitely spam it with the right aura mods and effeciency mods on, so that one is good how it is. Then we get to hysteria. You may say "but you can get nearly a minute of invincibility and it's great for survival missions," and you are right, the invinvibility is neat, but you are limited to using a very short range melee with very little damage capability agains the higher level enemies. It gets very annoying when you have to hit enemies one at a time several times to kill a single one. With her abilities as they are now, I can't see myself using her more than nova in higher level fights because of the fact that her ultimate is so counter intuitive and 2 of her other abilities so unreliable. Don't get me wrong though, I had a lot of fun playing as her, especially in the lower levels when melee isn't only restriced to ichor or galatine and only ichor or galatine. I can think of a few ways of making her great, namely, letting melee weapon mods have an effect on the stats of hysteria while adding a charge attack and different attack animations and allowing multiple enemies to be hit per swing, making war cry useable without getting killed in the process, and making ripline more reliable, having at least 100 base shields and better than mediocre base health. I think those changes could make Valkyr the great warframe we all wanted when we heard we were getting a decent melee Warframe.

And I don't want to hear anyone saying "No you're a noob and you have no idea how to build her and you suck" because if I can do more damage with my melee weapon, thus making her ULTIMATE ABILITY OF DEATH useless, and just a utility for reviving dead teammates and unlocking doors etc, IT ISN'T A VERY GOOD ABILITY.

(Too bad DE will never fix Valkyr, it's a shame really. She could be really fun if they did)
