Talk:Mag (Warframe)/@comment-68.225.34.175-20130907015709

Gamers these days... Always whining "It doesn't do enough damage!" "It's awful!" "Its DPS sux" and so on...

No glory, no utility, no focus on tactics... They just want things dead 'fast' or as 'fast' as their little minds can comprehend...

I used Vauban on Xini, got to wave 182 solo (ran out of energy.. Very odd when enemies drop zero energy for an entire round)... Anyways. Did I kill them fast? No. Did I do ungodly damage? No. I used a grakata and vasto, neither were 30 and neither were potato'd or forma'd (12 and 26 respectively in levels).

Patience is what kids these day lack. Challenge? They hate having a challenge, they want things easy, they want big numbers.

I want to take Mag, or Volt, or Loki, and get the same jobs done that any other of the 'OP' or 'overly used' frames do. Even if it takes longer, finding new strategies is fun for me.

Mag's pull is a powerful Crowd Control for only 25 energy. Mag's crush? It's a stun for all nearby enemies. Bullet attractor got a 100% damage buff... What the little brains cannot comprehend is all 'damage buffs' are individual. Bullet Attractor + Prime on boss = x4 damage. Add rhino, x8 damage (or x6, not tested the new math). Mag's shield polarize is the most powerful shield eater in the game, so heavily shielded enemies are easily wiped out. This is useful against bosses, and can be used as a shield heal. Most people use Redirect, so shield polarize is more useful than trinity's heals most of the time (Even though blessing affects shields, it's a 100 energy cost)
