Punch-through both expands your tactical options and acts as a force multiplier. I can't *not* put it on any weapon I use, aside from the obvious exceptions of Ogris, Penta, etc. I do wish there were more mods like Shred, though.

Obvious exceptions of Ogris and Penta, despite the fact that Shred is the single most important mod you can stick on a Penta.

Are distilling extractors known to be bugged? I've made one so far, and not only does it not seem to get crap like detonite ampules any less than the normal models, the very few times it's scored a rare component it actually got it in a LESSER quantity than the standard extractors do (4 morphics from distiller, 6 from the normals). For twice the time. I wasted oxium on this garbage?! :ssj:

Some of them are fun, others are less so. If you're on PC just ask in the clanchat, gently caress knows we have duplicates of everything except the super pain in the rear end ones and some even have those.

A kind offer, but I am filthy and new, and must prove myself over time before entering the clan, which is perfectly fair.

I will certainly attempt that in due time though, and I have quite a few prime parts I'll never build that I'd like to trade into the clan then as well.

In that case, I'd suggest either running some Dark Sector missions or hopping along for an Orokin Derelict Defense run. Infested drop the Fracturing Wind stance (Fist-only melee, for the Furax and Ankyros) like candy, and it has a combo called "Gaining Humility" which ends with a backhand slap. Far and away the easiest stance to get.

I have started to do some DS missions, though it's a little hard when the others that end up joining are trying to level their bratons while doing it. :sigh:

ODD is something I have been meaning to do, but have held off for fear of getting in over my head. I believe you have to craft some sort of special key for them from the otherwise useless nav coords I have nearly a thousand of?

Cheers for the advice, I'll try to follow up on it tonight.

E: just registered the back handed slap.

I want.

Pressure point not affecting Channel damage is a huge thing that should really be referenced some way on the card.

I'll not slot it for the melee builds in future then.

You'd obviously still use pressure point first, though.

Oddly enough, pressure point doesn't actually affect channeling damage, just basic stabs and the like.

So matching damage type boosts can actually be better depending on what you're doing.

Are you sure about this? Channeling does +50% damage without mods, so if that was +50% of only your base damage plus elementals, you would actually notice a drop in damage over normal strikes boosted by a +120% pressure point. Yet channeling does more damage than normal strikes, even with no channeling mods on.

Edit: whoops, Pressure Point actually goes up to 120% now.

If you attach Castanas to it, you'd get extra trails.

More Castana wielding players = 6 more trails per person.

From when I tried it it felt like junk. That said I don't like the PS4 version because R3 isn't an instant toggle crouch like on PC, so the game as a whole feels a tad bit sluggish.

Where did you get this from? Isn't channeling (without bonuses) a fixed +50% of the total damage after all damage modifiers are applied?

edit

In the devstream about melee, I remember one of the dudes saying that total melee damage(channeled) = total damage(unchanneled)+(total damage(unchanneled) * 0.5)

I think Zephyr's Tailwind is one, people find it difficult to control at high ranks. That said it actually drops from things now (and how) so it's okay to upgrade since you'll have no problems getting an unranked one to revert your poo poo.

Other than that all I'm coming up with is ones that aren't worth the cores because they suck :v:

This is preposterous because sailing across half a level in 1.2 seconds is priceless!

Zephyr is my new favorite, because drastically increased air control during jumps rules, and Turbulence is almost as good as Iron Skin, which is pretty much the highest praise you can give any ability that isn't iron skin!

Loki's decoy. Upgrading it only adds duration. Since you mod Loki for duration, that is covered.

Upgrade everything. You can skip decoy, because upgrading it does not add much, and you probably need the equip points for something else.

Thanks! Didn't realize that you can switch place with decoys, that's loving awesome and opens up a lot of options.

I seem to be having a lot of problems with mobility on the ps4. It seems like the sprint is really janky, and my warframe never really behaves like I want to, making wallrunning and stuff really hard. Any settings or keybindings that work better than the default one?

Turn off the option to hold jump to wallrun. This way, you only need to press it once to grab onto things, then press it once more to jump away. Note that pushing jump while grabbing a wall, causes your warframe to spring away from it.

If you wish to jump in any given direction while you are hanging on a wall, aim and use quick melee.

Also, assign toggle sprint on/off to whatever key you use for sprinting. This way, you are no longer required to press it down all the time.

You know, that may have gotten fixed in melee 2.0. It used to not affect -charge- attacks, and I think i was misremembering.
