Fun frame to play but he needs a bit of a buff in the damage department. Fully upgraded Power Strength and his puddle does roughly 35 damage a tick with his tentacles doing around 300. In early game and low levels, thats a decent amount (more than enough to feel powerful) but come late grame, fighting level 25s-35s, he feels incredibly weak. His puddle turns into a temporary invulnerability that also just so happens to trap enemies it WON'T kill only to have you pop out of it now freshly surrounded by everything you were hoping to hide from. The delay in activation to damage from Tempest Barrage and the lackluster damage it sports makes it's unwieldy, useless at distance where the enemy is aware of your presence and, if it manages to his oncoming enemies, a slightly useful cround control (as it has a chance to knock them down momentarily). As for Tentacle Porn, oops, I mean Swarm, low damage meets minimal coverage and no guarantee that it will continue to attack new targets that wander too closely. In Tentacle Swarm's case, the aded durration actually hurts it, as it will only keep you from using it again once it's finished killing (or trying to at high levels) it's assigned target. Since the ability doesnt move with you and has a fairly limited range, in a map where movement is key, it can be a hinderance.
