Interrupting this alert chat for a moment, I remember reading somewhere (maybe this thread) about selling normal frames results in losing the standard helmet as an appearance option for any Prime versions. So if you had Mag and Mag Prime and you sold Mag you'd only have Coil, Gauss and the Prime helmet available.

Can anyone confirm/deny, not that its the end of the world but seems an annoying thing for DE to have decided on since there isn't any real reason to keep non-Prime versions of a frame once it reaches 30.

Legendary cores are better used to upgrade rare mods like heavy caliber or narrow minded since rares are more expensive to max out.

Perhaps you shouldn't always be charging with the weapon with the highest base damage in the game :colbert:

Swing that hammer back and forth, it does a lot of damage, especially with damage mods since they're percentage based.

Oh, I saw that the charge damage was the highest thing on the little list and just went from there. Plus the charge animation is so cool.

But ok, I'll just mash E like I am wont to do anyway.

It is cool, but its just overkill to be charging with that weapon, you should find that you are one hitting them with taps of e, unless your mods are really bad or you are in a really high level area

Good God, no. Maybe for a super situational weapon or comedy value but maxed out heavy calibers are pretty brutal and you start seeing diminishing returns on straight +damage mods anyway.

Elaborate. This doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't it be increased returns seeing as HCal's damage increase effects elemental mod damage like Serration does?

Also maxed HCal is a necessity for best Synapse/Flux/Ignis results.

:whoptc: is going on in this thread, I just wanted to ask for some advice on mods for my new birdframe that I put in the cooker and people are writing fanfiction???

Tornado is dumb as hell and mostly good for pissing off pubbies. Don't use it with goons unless it's an emergency, for it's a room clear button that leaves no loot.

Turbulence then again is her real ult, and it's finger-loving good.

Because of both of those powers having utterly annoying effects, you want to set your energy color to the darkest blue when playing with goons, and to the brightest green or pink when playing with pubbies.

Tail Wind is a super fun mobility ability. Using it while standing still gets you a fuckton of vertical height, more than any other frame can do. Also, using Tail Wind towards an exit makes her animations bug out in a funny way.

Her powers are mostly based on duration, so you want Continuity / Constitution.

She also got a fuckton of health. I pack Vigor + Redirection because gently caress Eviscerators.

And for Dive Bomb? I just couldn't give a poo poo about Dive Bomb, it has pretty poo poo damage.

It's stupid expensive for the returns you're getting, it-- you know what, this is all on the wiki so I'll just c/p the bit relevant to your question since I'm not sure why this is seen as somehow groundbreaking:

Warframe Wiki posted:

Since the two stack additively, combining the two is somewhat ineffective. Adding a maxed Heavy Caliber onto a maxed Serration yields only an additional 62% of the base shot damage. This is because the relative increase from 265% damage to 430% damage is not as significant as the increase from 100%. Players should exercise caution in comparing Heavy Caliber to more conventional mod choices, such as elemental damage.

Yes, it can be viable on a couple of non-aimy weapons or if you're rocking bullet attractor 24/7 but that's pretty much the definition of "situational" and gimmick/"comedy."

I'll get the lab up as soon as I can. The vault has all the mats. Dunno if we really need to rush it with plat though. I guess if we get all the mats for a Zephyr part research, we can maybe rush the lab if everyone feels like adding a few plat.

Only Prime Blueprints/Parts are available to trade at the moment, who knows if DE will allow wider parts trading in the future. I would expect them to extend it to Detron/Brakk/Stalker drops eventually though it might be after general gear becomes tradeable.

Never say never... it's not about forcing people to buy stuff from the market or quick profits from ignorant players, it's about keeping the economic wheel spinning.

For example, now that we can trade Prime BPs, some people might be less inclined to buy Prime access. However, more people are likely to buy Platinum to be able to effectively participate in the now much larger market. It's better long term to have many small players than a few whales.
