Is that Augment even good?

It is great. Although it demands Range and Duration to be so, but Range/Duration massively favours Gara's CC from her 4th and 2nd.

Damage scaling and resistance on Splinter Storm suffers, so it's not for that - it just makes her a really good CC and Support frame. It's fun anyway, lots and lots of Energy for everyone.

To be honest, it's not the kind of build you'd want to bring about normally - it just makes a her a slightly worse Nekros, but it's still fun.

Unfortunately her Splinter Storm is most important. :/

What are you talking about? It doesn't seem very good at all. 50% at a single energy orb?

You may as well play with a Nekros or Nezha. An actively killing Nezha who knows how to use their Blazing/Reaping Chakram and the 4th ability would make it rain orbs of both kind.

Nezha provides Health Orbs, not Energy - and yes, this is still worse than Nekros - but it's fun. Besides, it compliments her 4th ability well, and provides some good CC and sustain.

The whole point is to cast it around large mobs of enemies and kill them inside it. Spectrorage in general has been an asset to my playstyle because it's been more consistent with saving my ass more than her 4th ability has (since it's been nerfed). Not to mention it boosts the damage of her 2nd abilty when mobs affected by it are inside her Spectrorage circle. I like to kill elites faster that way, and now with the Spectrosiphon mod, I wont have to worry about running out of energy.

Laying down pizza's are too restrictive when I need to move around a large area to avoid death, I would rather be vacuuming up energy orbs instead as I move around and CC/kill.

Nezha's Blazing Chakram can spawn energy orbs. At max rank, when it marks an enemy by hitting them, it gives a 100% chance for a health orb and a 35% chance for an energy orb to drop on their death.

That also means they don't have to die by the Chakram. As long as they've been marked by it, when they die by any means those orb drop chances roll.

Ok, just did some Simulacrum testing and Nezha is also pretty good for it. :/ Well, ya know, at least now there's more choice for who we waste mod slots on for augments.

With that said, I'm sorry, I don't mean to take away from your idea since it's for Gara, not Nezha or Nekros. Entirely different subjects.

Still, I don't use that ability too often as it feels really awkward. But since this augment only mentions "enemies that die within" Spectorage, that's actually not that bad of an idea now that I think about it. As long as you're going for range and all that, as long as the mod description isn't incorrect and enemies don't have to die to their self damage but rather any source while they're within its diameter.

They don't have to die from self-damage, literally any source of death so long as they're within range.

I've been combining it with Magus Anomaly to group a load of enemies, and just chop them up and have dozens of orbs drop. Even without Energize you can sustain ridiculous amounts of Energy, but Energize has that AoE pop that's just too good.

I use the mending one for her 2. Means I don't feel obliged to bring my Furis everywhere with her.

Hah yeah, though i've been using elevate a tad bit lately. But spamming the 5 doesn't really feel all that great either.
