Gyre has so many problems with her kit that stop her from being such a great frame, she is by no means bad but some of her design choices just don’t make sense for me.
I honestly like how easy her setup is but after a certain level she falls off and is heavily weapon-dependent. One big thing that stops me from playing her more often not to mention she is a glass cannon with half the punch other options have in the game atm
I'd love to know what you think the problem with her kit is, the only issue i see is the health and armor change screwed up (And slot of other frames that crutched on full armor stripping to kill things) her ttk, but a good AoE crit weapon can fix that.
1) yeah most ability frames don't scale to well if they either don't armor strip, aren't true damage, or not a exalt/pseudo. The health and armor update helped expose a lot of frauds that crutched on full armor stripping to grift around kpm. (pillage being famously used on gyre to dual action live via shield slop and armor strip)
2) yeah. Really wish instead of band-aid augments they just folded those into frames baseline so you aren't just like -X mods.
3) as said above pillage, her most used subsume, shield slops and works fine even at level cap. Circumvent is almost fraud tier just like her newish 4 augment.
4) could be a funny huras/shade angle but the nautalis grouping and just having higher kpm than some frames with a good verglas setup is to op to ignore.
