FirstPersonShitter posted:Do orokin catalysts make your weapons level up faster? I bought a stug with some platinum I had left over from something forever ago, and it levelled up to 30 soooo much faster than my crafted torid or furax, which are still crawling along in the 10s. It also doesn't hurt that the Stug is a much, much better weapon than either of those other two.

Helter Skelter posted:No they do not. They only allow you to equip more/better mods than you would otherwise be able to at a given weapon rank. That means they more effective, earlier, which can make leveling them a much nicer experience. Yeah it does seem to kick the rear end of the other two, and really most of my other weapons. Is there a list of which weapons are good anywhere? The wiki doesn't really tell you.

Helter Skelter posted:DPSFrame has (as the name would imply) a breakdown of the numbers, but it's not always a good indicator of overall effectiveness or fun. Posting here in the thread or asking in clan chat about what's good at your mastery rank is a good way to get recommendations, though. I'm mastery rank 5, and I tend to like the more unusual weapons, but with them its always hard to tell if they're gonna be great or really suck. I was worried the stug would suck but its really good + fun. I was really enthusiastic about getting the miter till I heard it sucks really bad. I made the torid but I am not jazzed by it.

Most of the secondaries are at least decent (avoid the Spectra), but favorites right now that you can build include the Marelok (clan research) and Brakk (if you can coax the parts out of the Grustrag Three), as well as the Stug you already have. I'm also a big fan of the Akstiletto and both of the revolvers (Vasto and Magnus, along with their respective akimbo versions). Melee weapons right now kind of seem to be more about finding something that you like the move set for and going nuts with that. zgrowler2 posted:Team member or had they somehow glitched other squads into your instance? Crono S. Magnum posted:Hey guys, can I get a re-invite into the clan? I was away for a while because my computer went and died on me but I have a new one and am really liking what they did with Melee 2.0. As for armor, it depends on when you last played. If it was around November or prior, then yes, a whole ton has changed and you should go look at this wiki page. It's confusing as poo poo at first, but overall it is in fact much better.

Armor is pretty awesome if you are Valkyr. Nobody else can match her armour though, but it is still handy on frames with 150 base armor.

TheRationalRedditor posted:I recently made the Grakata too. I play actual FPSes like BF4 though so the recoil might as well not exist for me. Grakata is the poor man's Soma. Modded correctly, crit damage and crit chance mods, it is one of the best machine guns you can get your hands on before mastery rank 6). Soma has almost no recoil, the muzzle does not rise at all. You can use Soma as a semi or full auto equally effectively. Soma also comes with better damage, better crit chance, better crit damage, better status chance, and 2-3? polarity slots (one - and 1 or 2 v). TheRationalRedditor posted:That sounds believable. Figures that I've seen neither drop yet. Ask in goon chat for vital sense (crit dmg), shred (fire rate and punch through), barrel diffusion (bullet no increase), serration (damage increase), hammer shot (crit dmg and status chance), point strike (crit chance) and critical delay (increase crit chance, decreases fire rate), maybe even stabilizer if you hate that recoil. These are the go to mods for Grataka. Many nice goons have extras, and will give them/trade them to you. I got mine this way. I love cats fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Apr 14, 2014 |

I've had bad luck with mods so far (first serration ever like a day ago) and the only thing I don't like about it is how little damage it does before being decked out. The killpower of these free Dex Furis kinda make it feel really piddly, and I'm not sure what mods I need to change that. 
|
So I'm currently loading the game up for the first time since July. I put a lot of time into it way back then, but I'm pretty pumped to come back after all these )hopefully) improvements. I know I have at least one fresh frame (Volt) to dick around with and a few weapons at least, but what should be my priorities for getting up to speed if I already have a good working base of mods/weapons/frames? I only ever ran a handful of T3 void missions, and from what I can tell there are all sorts of fancy new mods I should go about getting, since when I played multishot and damage were king. If Volt (still) isn't a good frame, any suggestions on a new or reworked frame I should work for right off the bat? Or any sick weapons? Here's hoping I didn't get kicked from the goon clan (it's been nine months I probably should have).

NPCs are neat, but boring. They just parry a ton, but in the case of Trinity they can one shot you with Link. quote:for those who dont realize it, battle pay is low on the conflict missions because it is being paid by the clans who built the rails gently caress pubbies forever.

Ice Fist posted:You're pretty wrong. I mean I guess if you hate multi-hit AOE attacks and also hate fun then I guess yeah, just keep banging your head into the E button. I mean, it's not some super sophisticated fighting system, but they are also not worthless. Swirling tiger in particular is pretty amazing for mulching large groups. I did not care much about combos either. Then, after getting owned by the G3 with a vauban in my team no less, I switched to Loki. Radial disarm and Zoren all day erry day. What used to be difficult to solo mobile defense runs are a walk in the park now. With AOE stances brought by u13, pixel genocide bears new meanings.

Insert name here posted:There's something hilarious about clans contesting 0% tax rails simply so they can put their 0% tax rail there instead. I don't understand why anyone is putting 0% on their rails though? If every rail no matter what is going to get contested, it's not like having 0% will somehow keep you around for longer. So it just means they paid a bunch of stuff for the rail for nothing. Might as well get some profit from the rail in the few hours it'll be around. Seriously every time I check deathsnacks there's every single rail under the exact same status. It's just going to be a cycle of DEPLOYING/ATTACK DEPLOYING/UNDER ATTACK forever.

Schubalts posted:With charge attacks requiring energy, has DE done anything about the actual supply of energy? Is there ever a reason to spend energy on a charge attack instead of on Warframe abilities (especially room killers and Rhino/Trinity's defenses)? There are several mods which lower your channeling costs (efficiency). There is a mod which drains energy and another which drains health from your targets. Furthermore, considering the damage to energy cost ratio, charged attack combos are pretty cheap overall, and deliver more damage than equivalent cost in ability use or ammo. Plus, energy orbs are common drops. With stances equipped, channeling is overkill, unless it is some lvl 50-60 bullet sponge machine gunner or ancient, and there is little need to ever use it. I have yet to feel the need to use channeling on even the largest mobs under lvl 30.
