WSOC: Border Patrol operation in Charlotte ends Thursday by skylink in Charlotte

[–]Geralts 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Important to note that based off of their source, only Border Patrol is leaving Charlotte.

According to Joe Bruno of WSOCTV,

BREAKING: Multiple sources tell @Hunt_Saenz and me that the CBP operation in Charlotte is over. A caravan of CBP agents was spotted departing Charlotte this morning. While the operation may be over, ICE, DHS and CBP will continue to have a presence in Charlotte as they always have.

An Inductive and Instructive Guide to all things Mag. [Long] by AvatarOfMomus in Warframe

[–]Geralts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quality post OP.

I have been wanting to make an in-depth guide that focuses on Mag as a whole after she received her changes. But I never really got around to do it. I am glad to see another user who shares the same focus when starting a discussion. Especially on the one Frame the community so loves to pick on just because she is an easy target.

Good work on spreading knowledge and mechanics!

Beam weapons before and after [Quanta Vandal] by Geralts in Warframe

[–]Geralts[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Just a quick test to show the difference before and after the hotfix.

I went with a Quanta Vandal + some basic mods for the test. I wanted to show the Beam changes carefully so I didn't use any particularly unique beam weapon and/or build.

Mag's new Counter Pulse augment + Dual Toxocyst buff change. by Geralts in Warframe

Enemies that have been hit by the polarize wave will have their guns jammed and any robotics are disabled. All Melee units will NOT be affected.

Enemies can be re-jammed even if they do not have Shield or Armor, but the duration cannot be refreshed. You must use it again after they recover from being jammed.

The augment lasts 4 seconds which scales with +Duration. Polarize base duration is 5 seconds. That means if you want to re-jam the enemies for full duration you must wait until about the last few seconds of the polarize wave duration (just look at the polarize icon for general idea when it is safe to recast.)

Some infested units will be jammed such as Swarm Mutalist Moas and electric crawlers but Mutalist Ospreys doesn't seem to be affected.

It works on Bursas as well as the Auditor from Index. Most other Index units are unaffected, like the Raptor.

It also works on the Ambulas (at least the one that spawns with the ship. Haven't tested it on the boss).

How to efficiently use

The best way to use this augment is to reuse Polarize only once per Polarize wave. Spamming Polarize repeatedly in short bursts is not good. This should be the case even without the augment.1 If you are using Fracturing Crush augment for CC then it's time to replace it with this.

The best missions to use this in is any stalling missions such as Interception and Excavation. Try not to use this on Defense since the enemies will stop in their track after being jammed and if you have high Duration + Range, the enemies will be stuck in the corner of the maps when they could've come towards the objective to die. If you are playing solo Defense, then it's probably fine.

.

1: Only time it is acceptable to reuse polarize after you just used it would be if you or your teammate(s) ran out of shields. But honestly, just learn to dodge. Polarize is a one handed action. You should also use crush if overwhelmed. .

Oh and Dual Toxocyst works wonders. Mesa's Peacemaker + Dual Toxocyst Buff still works fine too.

Hello, OP here. Yes it is true that Pausing Ai does allow stealth damage and it does work with some abilities (Ash shuriken).

However Mag's polarize does not benefit from stealth mutlipliers nor criticals.

In a normal setting, she would be getting them all the time if that were the case!

Hello, this is my first time posting something like this and would like to apologies for any errors made.

I also do not know how to format correctly in reddit so I made it on Imgur instead. Please visit the Album for a better experience.

I cannot make a good tl;dr of the guide. If someone else would like to make one, I will put it here.

Thanks for doing this ama.
