What are some good, ammo efficient secondaries? I'm building a soma, and I get the feeling I am going to need a backup option pretty regularly.

If only my argon won't have decayed before I can finish building the Vasto and dual skana.

Is there any market for prime parts that have been removed from the drop table? I wanted to finish my Dakra Prime, but I still need the blade (I think). I also have 2/3 Nova prime parts.

Okay. Kind of cool, then. Is Nova prime amazingly better than normal Nova? If not, I might try to sell my Nova Prime parts, buy a Dakra prime part, and buy a slot/Excalibur with the proceeds. Or is there a better Excalibur weapon than the Dakra Prime? My understanding is he gets +10% attack speed and damage with single swords.

If you're already building a Vasto, be sure to give the Akvasto a try. They strike a nice balance between power and speed, and make great backups on everything but the most high-level, target-rich missions.

Nova Prime is ill-suited to the speed nova build (she has three V polarities and that build can barely make use of two), which probably stops it from being amazingly better.

Still piss easy to build for speed nova (and you can always forma); also base state increases makes her better flat out.

Eargesplitten. I'll need to make sure I didn't screw up and actually need the handle. Do they cycle all of the primes out eventually? It seems like all of the prime parts I have from early 2014 are no longer dropped.

Yeah, I did a breakdown of "blade" weapons that are compatible with Excal's bonus and also have a corresponding Syndicate Weapon Augment.

BeAuMaN posted:

Thanks. I found that on the wiki. Ends up it's 10% Damage and 10% Attack Speed for wielding any Longsword, Dual Swords, or Nikanas


I couldn't find anywhere where it says any Weapon. Going backwards looking trough the hotfix and update notes, I found the following:

"Fixed Exalted Blade not properly gaining Excalibur’s passive upgrades with the proper melee weapon equipped."

https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/480637-update-16100/

So... going off the assumptions that the wiki is correct...

For melee weapon candidates, the ones with syndicate augments are:
Longswords (One-handed swords?):
Prisma Skana/Skana Prime: Bright Purity, +100% Melee Damage, Corrosive Blast + 25% Max Health/25% Max Health Restore Burst
Mire: Toxic Blight, +100% Extra Toxin Damage, Viral Burst + 25% Max Energy Restore/10% Movement Speed Burst
Jaw Sword: Blade of Truth, +100% Melee Damage, Gas Burst + 25% Max Health Restore/100% Max Stamina Increase Burst

Dual Swords:
Prisma Dual Cleavers: Justice Blades, +100% Melee Damage, Blast Blast + 25% Max Health Restore/25% Max Armor Increase Burst


Does Energy Drain tend to be a problem? If So, Mire seems like a top candidate.



Though Naleesh believes that the "10% Damage/Attack Speed Bonus" just gets rolled into any weapon equipped by Excal. I have no idea, other than I had to dig through reddit to find anything that said otherwise, and I'm too lazy to test :effort:.

Though talking to others, Energy drain doesn't tend to be much of an issue with most of their Excal builds, so Mire wasn't top candidate afterall, except for the nice things Viral does on bursts. The 100% Toxin bonus damage gets converted to basically physical damage afaik. I think I'd be partial to Prisma Dual Cleavers personally, as having a Blast Proc trigger in a radius is very useful.

Hope that helps!

These days they hang out on Trition, which gives nice cores out pretty regularly. I don't do that often, so I'm probably never going to max Serration either, much less Primed Anything.

I too struggle with cores, but I maxed out Serration from the Tubemen event alone. That was the event to be there for. I pulled in...

This highlights pretty much my biggest problem with DE's methods.

Events are great and all, but if you miss them or are taking a break from the game you get put so far behind the curve that you'll almost never catch up.

They had a good idea with putting the event mods on Vor, but I feel like they need to make the rest more available in some capacity. Unless I'm missing something and there's ways to get them that don't cost hundreds of plat.

Toxin mods are from Vor.
Electric mods are/were from the void trader.
Fire and Cold mods are rewards from running spy missions.

The slash, impact, and puncture mods are a different story though I think. You can get the slash mods from the tactical alert emergency exit that is currently on the PS4, but droprates are pretty pathetic and it is a long as hell mission so enjoy your sanity while you can.

Take excalibur to the relay. Go to practice the the MR text to reach rank 10 ( the one with the falling platforms).
when the test starts, use exalted blade and fall of the platform until you have one try left. Then use exalted blade to kill an enemy. Fall off the platform one last time to fail the test.
At the mission failed screen it should show your melee weapon being maxed out.
All the mod slots will be available, but it won't show up in your profile as being maxed out or apply to your MR until you complete any mission while using the weapon and excalibur.

I'd be pretty surprised if they handed out any bans, considering the hilarious exploits they've had in the past that didn't result in any.

Also I know you haven't played in a while, so I'll tell you that yes, you can in fact revisit old mastery tests (as well as practice the next one) via Cephalon Simaris in the relays.

Any Australians play this game? I think this game is designed around being in a team. Also, anyone have any advice for those wave missions regarding knowing when to pull out? I seem to go from "ok, this is getting difficult now" immediately to "oh cool my weapons do no damage" and I get downed in around 3 seconds.

It depends on Wave and your weapons. Each wave enemy level goes up, and generally you want to pull out when enemy level hits 50+ if your weapon does good dps. Also at the end of each wave cycle (4 for Interception, 20 for Defense) the reward is the best so you want to pull out at the end of first cycle if you can't handle it.
