Does it work when Panzer Devolution is active ?
Its now "Warframes healed for +30% Companion Damage dealt"
In Russian translation, after change they f*d up translation, so now it reads as
"Warframe is healed for +30% of damage dealt to companion"
And i know that is 100% not how that mod worked before. But that new translation is so confusing.
I'm sure this is not useless, since you'd need at least one other useless thing
Does this work on status damage dealt by the companion? If so, does it work on damage radiated targets deal to others as well? I'm assuming at least radiation doesn't work, but could be cool if it did.
Iirc this mod lets any dmg your companion does heal you
The Mecha set bonus counts as your kubrow's damage, so adding this mod will heal your frame to full basically every time the mark explodes.
Will panzer vulpaphyla's spores heal your frame?
Yes
This is awesome synergy
I thought this was a alternative to Pack Leader. Now I see it heals my Warframe.
Yeah, this is a cool mod.
Just put healing return to your melee to sync very well with link health
i have two hunter mod on venari but the set bonus is not stacking up
set bonus dont work on venari
Set stack dont count on any exalted thing
Quick interaction question that I could not find elsewhere. First, If a pet is invisible, due to a warframe ability, and it attacks an enemy, does the pet’s damage get boosted by the stealth multiplier? If so, does the boosted pet damage then translate to a greater heal via this mod?
it should, since higher damage means a higher heal
Useful if you've built your pet to be damage and your preferred frame doesn't have defensive capabilities.
But this mod overall is pretty useless.
Operator arcane like Magnus Elevate will heal you way faster on demand. Frames that have huge HP pools can find healing from other methods like life strike or arcanes that heal on damage taken. Or from Operator arcanes from magnus repair.
If you're not building pet for utility (armor shred or simply charm/crit/tank/distraction or just your standard animal instict/loot/fetch) you're missing out on a lot of bonuses a Smeeta Kavat for example could be providing.
Most of the top tier frames don't need your pet to heal you, or a melee weapon modded to heal will do the job faster and more reliably. Plus at a certain point once a player gets a 5-6 forma weapon and or 2-3 forma prime frame they generally won't have as many problems killing stuff and therefore needing to heal.
Dont forget about furis with winds of purity, it doesnt deal much damage, but has decent status chance and with some formas, can strip some armor while giving you health (kind of op with chroma, used to be even better before his nerf)
I use this and Hunter Recovery on my Saryn set for sorties and arbis. Saryn is heavily melee focused if you combo her 1 and 3 together properly, to the point that I almost never use guns. And rather than Life Strike (which until recently also ate up energy), I prefer to dedicate all my melee mod slots to damage, rather than personal utility. I know this is kind of a 'special case' scenario, but it actually helps out a lot on a frame like Saryn with a lot of melee potential and health. If nothing else, it's less mods on weapon and frame that need to be dedicated to healing.
this + armor and health linked nidus/inaros
A Smeeta Kavat and Venari equipped with this mod makes everything so much easier. And even better if both of them have corrosive damage + crit link.
I would build venari for viral rather than corrosive. If you are running swipe + sharpened claws you can reliably get rid of armor from enemies. And since venari has a lot of status, viral will allow her to kill of enemies way quicker. Smeeta's status is pretty lackluster
Was hoping this would work with the moa.
Does this stack with [Pack Leader] ?
much awesome such a wow, here is a reply
What an absolute try-hard tool of an answer. lol you need healing mods? You can't kill or CC everything before it damages you? git gud noob. In an ideal world you wouldn't need vitality or steel fiber or life strike. comments like this make me unresonably angry.
>"In an ideal world, you don't need either"
Yeah yeah in an ideal world you can kill everything with one hit. Not everyone's part of the Million Damage Club, mate. Just use what you like. Experiment with different mods to figure out what works for your build.
Huge thanks to "October 8, 2018 by A Lone Tenno" reply. Very constructive and useful, actually on point. It's sad that people now openly admit their butthurt and think they are better for it.
This is surprisingly useful. My cat isn't even fully modded out, and this keeps me alive very nicely. Haven't tested on lvl100 Sortie, but endless Axi fissures are a breeze now.
^ Are you hinting Khora with Venari and another Companion?
^ i don't thing so
^ Can confirm, Khora with Pack Leader, and two Kavats with Hunter Recovery is nearly OP with the amount of healing you'll recieve. Of course, you'll want to build around linking everyone's stats together, but it's so very worth it.
And now that Garuda is out, it has even more usefulness for a frame like her.
Can this heal my Operator too or is it just my Warframe that gets healed?
just warframe
i just tried equipping it on khora's venari and a kubrow and this is incredible, i get random 200 hp heals when my pets fight enemies. it keeps me full health on sorties!
Does this work with Khora's cat?
Yes it does, very well since the Venari attacks so much! :)
Seems bugged.
Getting same crit bonus if I equip: Grakata or Lenz or NO WEAPON at all...
You must be confusing this with Hunter Synergy.
It heals warframe when pet eats someone. Or something.
It does NOT heal pet when you swing you melee around dumbly. Aka quick melee.
It DOES proc on Arcane Victory (headshot -> heal) and it DOES proc on Life Strike.
It DOES proc on health pickups.
For maximum pet healing add Pack Leader. Then you can use quick melee to heal pet.
TL;DR.
It heals your PET when you GAIN health.
It heals YOU when your pet ATTACKS enemies.
Additional data: Life Strike heals your pet when this mod is active alone without Pack Leader even if you are at full health.
Tested in Simulacrum.
What about Healing Return?
pets getting healed when you gain health has nothing to do with this mod. It has to do with Life Link.
I can't take your post seriously at all.
Companions, Sentinels, Warframe abilities, and Syndicate procs can all activate Arcane Victory, and none of them require this mod.
Health pickups gained by your pet have always healed you as well.
