Has anyone found a good use for Overwhelming HP, or Overwhelming Shield?

[Blacksnake]

They both seem downright worthless. I am trying to figure out if a certain Descendant uses one of the other of these to great effect, or if there is a module set up which makes these amazing (and not a liability).

Most of the gold mods feels kinda worthless, even some purple one are just "meh" compared to the blue one .

THere are builds you can make using them, however they are only for lets call it "skilled" players. The average Joe would not be able to properly make use of it.

overhelming HP is for gley, she doesn't have shield so no drawback.

I'm being serious. Someone mentioned Gley not having a Shield, so that would work.

But i got excited about Overwhelming Shield until I put it on. At the time I had 1K HP (modded) and 500 shield (modded). I went from 1K HP to just 1 (fine, it was in the description), but the Shield only went up 100 points. That seems like a silly trade-off (especially for 16 capacity.

neither are early build mods. you really need to lean pretty heavily into one side hp or shield for them to see any use (which mean you'll need the gear with rolls to go with) forget about them (other than HP for gley) until you are creating a end game build with forma

I wonder if the Overwhelming mods have a hidden way of benefits that isn't clear in description, because what it states is a miniscule amount of bonus. There is an interesting part of text that says on Overwhelming Shield mod, "Added Shield can also be increased by other beneficial effects." That has to mean something special that it isn't making clear, thats the only logical thing why you would run it.

Currently using O-HP on my Lepic, he had 10242 Life with 24k Def with maxed out HP collector, I mainly use as shields are useless and take far too long to recharge

it depend on character kyle ult by exemple gain more dmg the more shield you have or enzo has a skill to regain shield permenantly with a good build

there's a legendary weapon (Greg’s Reversed Fate) that spawn orbital strikes on the enemies when you hit with full shield. so overwhelming HP that set your shield to 1 is easy spam.

Quite a few Gold modules that are useless in any scenario. Cant remember the name but another one that adds up to 50% of max hp ass additional dmg to skill attacks... my grenades hit for almost 200k adding 2k dmg isnt worth the slot. ONLY 2 gold modules that are not crap imo, 9% HP and Shield gain on kills and the shield one isnt in game yet. Most of the transcendent ones are crap for the energy cost also.

Gley has 0 shield. So this mod is literally worthless on her. It gives her nothing.

I don't think that's how that gun's Unique effect works. Greg's Reversed Fate only activates if you shoot an enemy that has full shields. It doesn't even proc on enemies that don't come with a shield bar.

The mod needs the character to have a large base shield pool to make use of for conversion. Gley doesnt get shield, so even if you buff it, there's no pool to convert.

Actually, with Recovery Maneuver, it allows you to replenish your "health" whenever and with Mid-Air Maneuvering, it's easy to hit the 30m mark (go in circles when you point in the air, not straight). This way, no need to run for Health cubes.

Only downside, takes up one or more module slots to make more durable.

Good when you're only dealing with a boss enemy for long periods of time (Colossals and such).
