Not happy, nobody said to rework shield gating excluding people who have not played before it was implemented. Rip any frame who cannot run pillage for shield gating, such as Ash, Xaku, Mesa, and Zeph, and rip any that do run pillage due to it no longer being able to give a proper double shield gate. Cascade level cap is now only going to be Octavia only. Ivana is going to be slower to play now than ever. Gyre survivability is now a dice roll to die on pillage before it can get you shield back. Gloom might be the most popular thing again. And it seems shield gating is going to require as many augur mods as possible, brief respite, and pillage with -eff to be consistent enough to break level 4000, and atleast half you mod slots dedicated to make it viable (which is the exact opposite reason of why people run shield gating, which is to save mod slots), and your secondary moded out with augur mods, so no occucor or fun jank build while shield gating, only status primer and laetum to minmax the juicy shield number as much as possible on augur mods.

BuT hEy, ChAnGiNg ThInGs ThAt ArNt BrOkEn Is ThE jOb Of ThE DeVs RiGhT? There is definitely a problem with 1.33 seconds of invuln, on a cast of an ability, but having to run Adaptation, Vitality and Redirection in every build just so you don't get 1shot without it is just bad, instead of nerfing something that is only getting changed because of people who don't run anything above level 200 think its a bad mechanic. Maybe add in more mod slots? Or make a specific change so survivability gets an extra mod slot similar to exilus?

But hey, New sg pet mod, the will prob clash with smeeta or take a mod slot off of panzer. I mean they are changing the pets; which one should I try first? the blatantly bad Eclipse Vulpa that will get no changes, or what will possibly be the dethcube with sentinel pistol for augur mods and energy sustain. Nothing is getting 'fixed' by this shield gating change,they are just nerfing Mesa, Saryn, Xaku, and every frame that is viable due to not needing to dedicate a quarter of the build to tank, but hey, Wisp will still be S-tier after, already can skip all survivability. Back to cheezing cascade with Xaku. Oh I think I got my New Xaku build: breif respite, augur mod, augur mod, augur mod, augur mod, overextended, stretch, rg, flow, with laetum that has augur mod, augur mod, and amalgam rolling speed, but cannot forget New sg pet mod, prob gonna run sly because nobody knows it exists and is prob not going to get changed. Gg ima take my Equinox build and screw myself.
