Well now, the Valkyr has the benefit of invulnerability at the expense of being limited to melee range while invisible, which can hold you back damage wise in comparison to a Soma or Amprex or Boltor Prime.

For those who haven't tried it, and are worried about melee range, try out an Amphis with the Clashing Forest stance and the +range mod. Even with a Spoiled Strike (I do ofset it with a Fury), if you hold down right click and spam attack, you will skip around like crazy beating everyones asses. It's even better under warcry. Unforma'd, it seems perfectly capable of endgame content (I haven't done much t4 stuff).

Downside: Looks terrible, and it's massive on your back, clipping through everything.

I didn't think weapon range had any effect while Hysterical? You're using the suit's built in claws when you're invulnerable.

There are a few, but my regulars haven't been playing since Destiny. There's probably others playing but the PS4 likes to gently caress up displaying friends and doesn't let you sort by game so I don't bother looking. Still if you want add CrashCatt and bother me for whatever when you're bored. Can't promise I'll be any good but I'll go along.

Didn't the PS4 goons have some stupid drama and and then split into two clans? Yeah and also the DE Conspiracy to keep the console peasants in their place.

Yeah, there was drama, but it didn't cause a 50/50 split or anything like that. Only a couple people actually left the main clan (BarkingSquirrel, myself), and we picked up CrashCat and a few other poeple along the way. It's made clan tech resource gathering way easier with only being a ten player clan.

I'm fine with being an update behind the PC, it gives the console players a good idea of what to expect and time to prep for it (which ties into clantech resource gathering being way easier). But there's been a couple points where we've been more than one event behind. I *think* we got Cryotic Front almost two months after the PC. And Cryotic fFont was fun.


That's all kinda nowhere now, because as thranguy pointed out, everyone kinda moved to Destiny/whatever.

They're talking about Warcry builds that just have Hysteria for stuff like rezzing I think - Hysteria is also it's own stance, so the part about which stance to use for Amphis also doesn't affect Hysteria. Why this particular bit is in response to Hysteria limiting you to melee range is a bit puzzling though, since if you're not using Hysteria you can also swap to your gun.

Ripline is meh compared to being able to perma channel, gain life faster than you can lose it, and hit faster and harder than greased lightning.

How good is the +50% casting speed from Natural Talent in that build though? An entire mod slot to remove 1/3 of your casting time seems questionable to me, and personally I'd probably prefer Ripline there - however I'm also new, bad, and specifically bad at getting up ledges in a number of the tilesets, so that may have something to do with that.

It's pretty much critical when you get to the higher tier stuff that will knock you on your rear end faster than you can blink, you want to be able to pop war cry without it causing you to miss a beat. There's always "tweak room" when you're not doing high end stuff, but I prefer to talk about builds in their absolute optimised state.

Ripline is really situational, and 99.9% of the reasons you would use ripline can be also done by understanding your environment and achieved by just using the movement tools every frame has. Once you get this, things like ripline become so utterly redundant you wonder why they were made in the first place. Since I've dropped it, I've literally never missed it.

Yes, that's what puzzled me. AssHaggis was talking about Hysteria and Haerc is talking about things that don't effect Hysteria.

I think Rhino is more of a metalframe, personally. It doesn't directly fit the earth role, IMO - on the other hand, it typifies the Chinese element of metal.

Imagine if they had an invasion event with that as a Grineer total victory reward: TENNO, CONQUER PLUTO WITH ME AND I WILL SIT IN FRONT OF A MICROPHONE TO REPLACE YOUR SHIP'S EFFETE AND DEGENERATE VOICE

Sensing disaster, Frohd Bek counters with a Catalyst/Reactor/Forma/Plat pack and reusable shield osprey blueprints, along with vague promises of a possible voice pack since they don't have anyone really suitable at the moment.

Darvo calls halfway through throwing his voice pack in with Corpus rewards since the Grineer don't like him either and his dad won't stop calling him for help. Mostly the latter. It's starting to interfere with his deals.

Thank you all for your advice, I forma'ed my Paris Prime and for now I'm sitting on my Valk/Frost until my other frames are built and tested. This game is so much more insidious than WoW when it comes to grinding: well I may as well have another frame if I'm going to be levelling this weapon to get the affinity to get my rank to build a new weapon to get better stats and forma it and then while that's re-levelling I'm going to need a couple more melee weapons, oh! an alert!

If you've got an Android device, WarDroid is also a very handy and easily customizable way to notify you of worthwhile invasion and alert rewards. Don't use the official Warframe app (Warframe Nexus), it's terrible. There's probably an equivalent app for iOS, but that's out of my area of expertise.

I started playing this last night and it's pretty fun for a free game - I haven't hit the wall yet where pay items are necessary to progress. Thanks to the few goons who ran shifting sands with me. I still only have a vague idea of how to play the game and what actually constitutes good character progression but it's fun so far.
