Equlibrium mod broken ?

[Hangman]

like in title, i made setup to get how much orbs is possible ( red and blue ) to use this mod to change energy to life or life to energy depends what i need to get ( usually energy ) but my health is full and red orbs still dont give me energy. Is it work for you ?

[Pakaku]

The mod isn't broken, you just can't pick up health orbs if you're at full health.

Put Synth Fiber on your pet/sentinel and you'll be able to pick up the health orbs even when you don't need them (aka at full heath). That way it will trigger both Equilibrium and Health Conversion(also useful on some frames/builds) mods just fine.

What Pakaku said: you can't get health orbs if you're at full health, which in turn prevents you from picking up the bonus energy. The same is true vice versa.

In my opinion, equilibrium is one of those "niche" mods that works best in a very specific situations. I have a maxed equilibrium on hand, and I only use it on my Nekros which just so happens to be equipped with its despoil augment so it continually loses health whenever its desecrate ability activates, which will spawn a healthy compliment of orbs from the corpses and scattered body parts left behind.

TL;DR: Equilibrium is a niche mod and its pretty strong when combined with Nekros' despoil augment.

Or... With Protea's Dispensary and Synth Fiber. On Protea herself or when subsumed via Helminth. I actually use that combo on multiple frames - including caster build Mirage, Nova(slow/fast), Octavia(for Deimos vault hunting), Wisp and even Mesa. Solo-builds, self-sufficient and fully viable in Steel Path long(30min+) missions. I even have Equilibrium on my Titania without dispensary - 175% efficiency and NO arcane energize - i get my energy from regular energy and health orbs and that's more than enough.

You see... It's infinite energy. Why? Simple. Dispensary gives you regular energy orbs(25energy) and... Upgraded Health orbs - 100hp, not 50hp like the regular ones. With max level Equilibrium, this translates to 110energy. And now we also add on top that Dispensary has a chance to spawn... twice the loot each time it spawns something :D So it can spawn 2 Upgraded Health orbs. Which translate to 220energy per spawn. And you don't even need Arcane Energize at this point - all of your energy needs will be covered.

As someone who hasn't played Protea yet I never knew any of this. Cool

You're welcome :)

I would advise against equilibrium + synth fiber on protea. She is already starved for mod slot. Just use arcane energize, and save the mod slot for useful mods.

Equilibrium + synth fiber is a good tip tho. Some people use it on nekros, I assume it works on Lavos to.

[Hangman]

i want to use it on Gauss, dont want to "helminth him" with any other frame skill because he is great as a package but with my setup i got one spare mod slot for equilibrium , need to instal mad to my companion than - thank you :)

[Rays of Apollo]

When I started playing a couple years ago, I got a broken equilibrium. I scrapped it because I thought like OP. After spending weeks killing 1 or 2 Lephantis per day some months ago, I finally found a good use for it: infinite energy for any frame along with synth fiber.

Does anyone else get the feeling that energy orbs just never drop from enemies after a certain amount of time?

[Henry of Skalitz]

Waste of a mod slot IMO.

Arcanes, energy pizzas and even energizing dash don't take up an improtant mod slot and in my opinion are more efficient at regenerating energy, especially arcane energize combined with energizing dash. Unlimited energy for days even as a frame that needs to use it constantly (gara)

[KitKat]

To each their own. Everyone is free to play the way they want. :)

I dont have arcane energize and prices are astronomical for even 3 time upgraded ( ~ 500p )
