Sirin isn't in an amazing place. I don't think it's unplayable at all but compared to the other pacts def feels weak/limited.

Shrouded is a cool thematic passive though it doesn't add any combat benefit maybe add a dodge chance to it? Or enemies have a natural harder time aiming and hitting you scaling based on your points in it.

Pickpocket is great and feels like where a lot of the flavor comes from. It doesn't have huge combat benefit but since you can pickpocket health potions it's not useless for combat either.

Picktrix powder: this simply does not do as advertised the ability description claims that enemies you use it on will be vulnerable to sneak attacks but it's actually the opposite enemies become immune to sneak attacks while effected by picktrix powder. So I recommend fixing this bug.

Trick of the light: the clone taunt is insane inconsistent and it's damage and range feels that way too inconsistent as well. It's nice when it does work because unlike picktrix it actually does enable sneak attacks.

Glamour: a stealth ability is cool but this one is pretty limited and the only thing it really has is ability to be used in combat but you can be instantly knocked out of it. Also currently you can get a rune that is just glamour++ and you could us eit on a stronger pact like tethren or borimus. I'd recomend getting rid of some of it's limitations. Allow sprinting and jumping while glamoured. Give it an iframe when you cast it so you can't be instantly knocked out of it. And most importantly have it buff the damage of your next attack including sneak attacks/finishers (or just any attack so that it's not useless on enemies immune to sneak attacks).

On paper sirin wants to stack grace but the abilities don't benefit huge from it. Spirit is much more valuable. But even then. No stat really shines on this pact.

I main Sirin, and I mostly only use it to avoid combat. Since I usually play solo, doing things in a round-about way to avoid fighting big groups of enemies is just my go to.

Honestly I only really use Shrouded when tracking friend(s) when the map stops showing them and Tale icons are blocking their compass icon.

Trick of the Light is very finicky, with enemies sometimes only going after the clone when the timer is almost up (meaning they aren't close enough to be damaged).

Glamour is nice for opening chests or stealing plans for Faction Tales, but that's if you're avoiding combat.

TLDR: Sirin is great if you're trying to avoid or delay enemies, but agreed that it isn't quite so great for actual combat use.

I disagree with pickpocket being great. The only time pickpocket is relevant is when DE has added a new shitty farm for a new item. Like the Thawtide gear. It was way faster to complete that grind if you Pickpocket farmed it. Hilariously faster. That’s not a good thing.

We should not have loot abilities in this game. It’s already too late for Warframe, but DE has an opportunity to not make the same mistake in Soulframe.

Sirin is strictly a loot farming pact in my eyes. Pickpocket for extra loot, backstab, and be on your way

Sirins 1 is easily the biggest issue imo. It just straight up doesn't work. It either needs to be fixed or have the description change to say it is just a cc.

After that, I do agree that pickpocket isnt great for the game and should be removed, with the drop rates being adjusted to somewhere between current and current with pickpocket to compensate

#

Like the one thing in this game that Sirin does well in this game is the “Steal Intel” step in faction tales, because you can use glamour to go up to the guy carrying the scroll, yoink it, and be on your way. That’s it. That’s the ONE thing Sirin can do.

I think that Sirin is good for crowd control has 2 abilities for it, and a 3rd one to disengage and avoid getting hit and since it is grace the range will increase affecting more enemies.

BUT there is no need for that in the current game 😅

And the pacts which are more rewarded is for doing more damage. So unless some core game modes change and require variety in roles we are better changing all pacts to dps. And compete to see if 3 Oscelda can run all Cogah bosses before 3 Tethrens

where comparison?

Pickpocket should not do fragments and that'd fix the issues. Being able to steal potions give sirin much needed survival, starting a combat by looting all the enemies and leaving a bunch of potions everywhere allows you to potion heal much more often. Oscelda has elderbloom and tethren heals on kills so I think Pickpocket for potions is clutch.

Picktrix podwer used to open up all for backstabs and do some solid damage, especially with courage investment.

Trick of the light used to agro very hard and open up all distracted to finishers.

And can we ditch big head, it sucks and doesnt fit thr game at all. I wouldn't mind it if it appeared 1-5% of the time, but the novelty wears off when its every time.

Shrouded just really needs to be better, I like the flavor but increase the radius by a lot.

Remove everything except potions from pickpocket drops, buff other 2 abilities - easy fix

Personaly I do feel that Serin needs to change because it is weak my recommendation is the following,

Passive 1: preforming a sneak attack does 2x damage when leveling it up it goes to 3x then 4x.

Passive 2: sirin gets less agro to them, such as harder to detect and easy to get away.

Pitrix powder its fine on paper just fix it.

Trick of the light, remove the big head and make the damage scale with courage and range scale with grace so with enough points can be a add clear bomb.

The butterfly ability just replace it with you teleport behind the enamy your looking at and automatically assassinate them.

And I agre with making it move faster and that it scales with grace could help the ability, but no need to make it broken

slender oracle
#

I personally just dont like it, or even make the ability a weaker flint smoke or torrent and remove the runes, this will also make siren the archer assassin instead of my pet hate Tetheren, but yet it is hard to say what to change due to the mid and endgame not being in yet

I honestly like using the butterfly to be a sneak thief. Makes my loot goblin heart happy. HappyAvakot

I love how sirin has an invisibility ability and you could tell DE was being very cautious with invisibility, since invisibility trivializes so much content in Warframe. They made glamour very restrained, no running, no jumping, locked into walk speed. Then they made flitsmoke… incredibly powerful, trivializing and no restraints 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Glamour is genuinely useless. If I try to dodge, it breaks. If I try to jump, it breaks. If I try to sprint, it breaks. If I take any damage or any stagger in any way whatsoever, it breaks. Even if I miss and it doesn't even do an assassination, it breaks.

I just find it really frustrating the way it is right now.

I definitely get the strength of the flitsmoke, but at the same time, it does in fact only work on ode and may require multiple assassinations, especially in parties. Oh right, which is another reason that Glamour is useless.

For now Torrent is more powerful because of the exploit that it triggers on arrow hail.

#

Also, please don't forget that I am assuming you are meaning level 50s from the thawtide event. They are very weak and have basically no armor.

One of the most baffling things about Sirin is that despite being touted as the "archer pact," it doesn't have a single ability or passive that makes it better with bows. And despite obviously being themed around stealth, it has little to no synergy with that playstyle. Like you said, picktrix powder actually prevents stealth finishers, and the fact that you can spam it every few seconds and it works in combat makes Sirin more of a CC/debuff pact than anything. You can definitely have a fun and effective archery/stealth build on Sirin with torrent and flintsmoke, but despite feeling very on brand for the pact, that build would actually be much better on Tethren (like most builds are rn). Just give Sirin exclusive access to something stealth or archery related. This would be like if Tethren was no better than the other pacts at dealing melee damage or Oscelda was no better at healing. Sirin's identity just isn't reflected in its kit rn.

#

+1 on all of the above. I love Sirin (because of its fantasy) and use it as much as I can, but I'll admit it does not feel very archery.

I am either just having fun in Glamour to double-loot, or I am spamming 1 & 2 and AoE archery which is... not that fun.

I'd love something that encourages me to actually properly aim with my bow more often.

#

I stopped using sirin solely because they made the decoy a bobblehead, lol.

I agree mostly with this, pickpocket only serves a purpose when the player needs loot from a specific enemy. If the player has everything then it is useless.
As for Shrouded, why does this passive even exist??
I would rather it make you foot steps quieter and increase dodge window.

You get booted out of Glamour all of the time and enemies that are already committed to an attack will still lock in on you and boot you from it. I feel like you should be intangible to attacks with exception to magik.

And Picktrix is great for CC but it is littered with bugs. Can't finisher the enemies, enemies will still block, they are stagger immune so they won't knock down, and opening them to finishers by breaking stagger still won't allow you to finisher them.

Trick of Light has less agro than the player but the only way to finisher those enemies is if they are agro'd onto the clone. So, the only way to use finishers with it anymore is by using Picktrix to unagro yourself from enemies.

And as said, the only stat worthwhile on Sirin is Spirit, with a minor attribute to courage if you're using Trick of Light. If finishing an enemy afflicted by Picktrix caused AOE damage with falloff then it would be worth while investing in other stats.

It does for me because sprint is hold and dodge is tap.

#

My fault but still crazy that the tiniest amount of sprint breaks it

Yes, it's my mouse and keyboard layout. I also forgot to mention that Glamour is a negative synergy with flitsmoke. It will not only break your invisibility, but prevent you from going invisible again at all until the rune runs out.

We don't need anything to be good at bosses, im my opinion bosses should be hard and take time, be a reason to bring a whole team not just a tetheran with a spoon, all abilitys on siren and most abilitys on most pacts are useless on bosses

#

Also as the passives suggest it will be still good at bosses as a whole just promoting stealth and strategic shots with a bow, its literally what we have now just that you skip the flying part and just get to the kill, like pickpocket is not good because you kill the enemies and get the same loot, its only good at the start of the game but once you have a decent amount you no longer need it

#

Does all of siren abilities not work on most bosses?

thin torrent
#

unless the boss can be sneak attack

slender oracle
#

Intresting, maby the pitrix powder only lasts 1 second

thin torrent
#

it's veyr useful for interupting annoying attacks

slender oracle
#

Whats your opinion on buffing the speed on the butterfly or make it on the same level as flint smoke

#

Its annoying that some enemy's can simply walk away from you and your not fast enough to get there

thin torrent
#

I also think adding sneak attack to ALL enemies would be beneficial even if boss enemies take reduced damage.

slender oracle
#

What do you think of the passives i put? Thats the main thing I want changing because shrouded has no place

thin torrent
#

shrouded is cool but just that cool. I think it should also give us a passive dodge or make us harder to aim at/attack so it has a combat useage. I actually like the pickpocket theme a lot but maybe make it so you can't get frags that way and ensure that at least one health potion drops so it becomes a survability functins

I don't know if this is anyone else's experience, but I do find I (playing Sirin) am less visible to unalerted enemies than my friends playing the other starters, even when running.
So there does seem to be some extra stealth.

thin torrent
#

other then pickpocket sirin has nothing that other pacts don't do better. CC? any frame with cc has better cc. a summon that taunts and deal damage? Orengal's is better. invis? any frame can just use that invis rune for perma invis. So other then farming frags with pickpocket is one of the weakest pacts in the game. Particularly on bosses. The only thing sirin has for bosses is the 1 has a very short cd and while it's stunduration is low it can interupt boss attacks which is useful but with cogah increasing cd considerably it's still not as impactful as saw ocelda's stun which also gives a huge damage multiplier

# thin torrent other then pickpocket sirin has nothing that other pacts don't do better. CC? an...

Just finished a full Cogah run with 2 sirin players (player ranks 4 and 7) no flintsmoke and no torrent, just Alcas and me with Oscelda (broken heals btw). Just hails with slowing and amor strip totems plus the splinter arrows raising the stagger bar the bosses were unable to even move. Add to that back to back powder for stuns, decoys for dps/aggro and finishers with the butterflies. We didn't die even once the "hard" mode and pretty much was not much different from normal, playing with 2 relatively new players with starting gear.

So I don't get the weak part about the pact, like I mention in the post is weak if the bar is set by Tethren.

#

Maybe is weak refers to being harder to solo Cogah but even that is possible

#

Another trick is to manage the abilities cooldown better by going into butterfly while they recharge and do the finisher seconds before it runs out. If you alternate between them pretty much always have the abilities available.

slender oracle
#

So i have thought more about this and my opinion has changed from last time,

So shrouded needs to be replaced since seeing enamys through walls yes is a cool idea but is one of the least picked passives in the game and we could have something better tbh, not only that but it dosent appear to work effectively with all points put into it, you need to be close and be looking at them for them to glow, this could be replaced with maby a damage modifier if your undetected such as 2x damage e.g Could be level 1 is 0.5x then 1.0x, 1.5x and maxed out 2x which will mean we will have a combat passive and a none combat passive bringing it inline with other pacts,

Trix powder they just need to make it so you can do finishers on those effected, I hate to say this too but slow down the cool down the fact you get it back before it's over is insane but the trade off is you can make it last longer with spirit.

The decoy, please remove its goofy head, other than that make it scale with the virtues better such as courage increases the damage ect and make it get the agro more consistently,

Butterfly, keep it just make it so you can move at a decent speed since the current speed means enamys can walk away from you, and with the sneak bonus will also make it stronger for higher level enamys.

All this will buff sirin but keep the pace of the game and will bring it in line with all the other pacts, sirin is good just one passive is useless and alot of mechanics with it is broken, as for viruses scaling I assume that is in the next patch

Yeh what do you think of the passives idea in my rant, I do feel that it will stick to the theam and also when you do a finisher they just don't turn around and slap you because you did not do enough damage

unkempt shell
#

My thoughts- The blind feels like its missing a bonus to next hit damage. I want to trade places with the decoy ala Loki teleport. And the butterfly move needs to move faster, but its pretty useless vs non-human opponents, due to no sneak attack animations.

#

Whatever else happens with sirin, pickpocket badly needs to go away.

thin torrent
#

but I would be okay with removing frag drops from it and increase the chance of extracting hp potions

trim wraith
#

Thawtide is ingame right now literally proving this point lol

#

It is infinitely faster with Sirin which tells you the drop rates are terrible.

all I can do is pray they don't ruin another pacts fantasy.

#

it's bad enough the TEMPEST pact does no voltiac damage.

#

sorry if I am being kind of a b-word today I guess I wokke up on the wrong side of the bed. Disagreements are possible without getting heated 😅

trim wraith
#

Sorry as well, perhaps the gifs were the wrong way to go

#

I did read what you said fwiw and it sounds like functionally getting rid of pickpocket tbf

#

The frag farms are what I was saying is the issue

thin torrent
#

not really it'd give you some extra common drops but it should MOSTLY be used for health potion imho as one of the ways to help sirin heal.

thin torrent
#

I could also see a "deeper pockets" passive that lets sirin have up to 7 health potions instead of 5 as well. that'd be better than shrouded which has no combat purpose and is kinda meh out of combat passive

trim wraith
#

But that said, I would want something a lil better for Sirin than just extra resources that are already plentiful as you said

#

Nor do I want to incentivize devs to make them un-plentiful just because sirin could get extra

Sirin is not weak

What is this about

#

At the low levels yes like everything else

#

But once you go over level 20 with sirin you a god

Nothijg can remotely hope to touch you

#

U go stealth and pull extra loot from enemies

#

Execute enemies from stealth

Use bunnies to draw attention which opens enemies for executes

Straight up onetap just about any enemy with executes

#

Even tier 3 barrenets get 3 tappped

thin torrent
#

but sirin doesn't do much against bosses. some bosses see through invis, the taunt from 2 is inconsistent. 1 doesn't enable sneak attack and most bosses are immune to sneak attacks. and 1 is by far their best ability a stunw ith a short cd but only lasts liek a second on bosses but is useful for interupting annoying abilities

thin torrent
hallow rampart
#

Ok what part of this is in any way shape or form waranting of a block

thin torrent
#

and 2 technically allows for sneak attack but rarely in practice as the taunt is inconsistent and the duration is short

#

but I am not even asking for damage buffs for the most part.
