Temple: last nail to Baruuk's coffin.

[player7112]

The new rocker boy just outperformed Baruuk in almost every aspects, doesn't need to care for restraint meter anymore, can activate exalted guitar non-stop and heat stacks everything to ash.

Baruuk? sure, he has a powerful fist, but when spam melee attacking, It's clunky, can't aim at higher/lower targets, an attack animations also block him from doing anything else. Not to mention he needed 1 slot for 4th power augment. Also the annoyance of caring for his restraint meter.

Temple, can walk freely while playing the guitar, can aim at any direction. Movement super smooth. Doesn't even need augments to become OP.

Despite how hard to acquire Baruuk's components. goodbye the pacifist, welcome the revolutionist.

Hard to believe? Baruuk's official usage stats are dropping over the past few year, check it out for yourself.

Is this some kind of creative writing exercise where you have to pretend that two highly different things are actually extremely similar?

[enter]

This is either the most elaborate rage bait ive ever seen or the stupidest comparison of all time

Let me simplify it for you so you may understand my point.
Players spent lots of time in the past farming Baruuk, hoping to spam his 4th and become OP, right?
Then a few years after that, Temple arrives, easier to get, less time to farm, better 4th power.

All efforts spent farming Baruuk went down the drain. Baruuk gone to bottom of the chart.

I'm comparing Apple and Apple v.2, not an Orange.

Official stat could be wrong too.
https://www.warframe.com/th/stats
Baruuk Prime: 0.6% , -40% from last year.

-40% from last year.
-40% from last year.
-40% from last year.
....

Goodbye, paci-fist was never meant for war.

I don't have a problem managing his restraint meter. Just use his first 3 abilities to erode it.

Baruuk is mostly fine and only thing he really could use are some small quality of life adjustments. I'd make his restraint reduction percentage a bit more than it is now and also that he could get erosion from enemies even if they have overguard, such as eximus units. Removal of line of sight requirement from Lull would be very helpful too.

I still remember this one EDA stage on alchemy where vast majority of enemies were eximus and despite spamming Lull with the absolute minimum duration build I was barely able to erode my meter at all. But if they made the adjustment I mentioned above this would be no issue. Garuda (my favorite) for example was unable to jump on eximus units before to get damage to her blood ball but they changed it, which in turn obviously made her way better to play.

Baruuk was always a Valkyr knockoff, anyway.
