Cleaving Whirlwind gets the most credit for its spin attack, but it's got a couple of other good combos for different purposes that are also easy to access, which is a lot more than you can say for most stances.

Cleaving Whirlwind is easily the best 2hand sword/axe stance, for both stupid high damage multiplier moves and general usability. Tempo Royale looks pretty cool but can't really compare in function.

Cleaving Whirlwind is for holding melee and using combos. Tempo Royale is for quick melee because its first slash attack is fast and has huge arc, close to 360 degrees.

Tempo Royale is neat, but there's just something undeniably :black101: about the Broken Bull combo from Cleaving Whirlwind.

True, I forgot about that. The speed of that first strike makes a big difference, the standard 2hand quick melee is pretty slow to come out and makes me prefer my Jat Kittag for quick melee backup.

Luckily, Royale and Whirlwind have the same polarity, so if you need to polarize your stance slot that's the one to go for. I don't remember Rending Crane being terrible or anything, but it's just, why bother when both of the alternatives are more useful?

Someone had previously mentioned Nova trivializing the Survive or DIE alert, which got me thinking, "yeah the MPrime slowdown really hits the Infestation hard, but isn't there an Aura that takes that even further?"

I present to you: Slow down or DIE.

SlowNova + 4x Infested Impedance.

At 2x video speed the infested are STILL moving in slow motion.

Stuff like this is why I think a time warframe would work real well. Stopping and slowing enemies is rad.

TimeFrame manifests a large black box and slams it on the ground. The squad is sent into a mission in the past which results in their current mission being already completed and rewards granted upon their return to the present. Five shots only.

Could have a flipmode ulti where in one mode enemies move faster and your teammates do more damage, and another where enemies much slower and and your teammates are tankier? Maybe the 1 move could make a monster take DOT damage and run in reverse for a bit or something. Another move could "reverse" the damage your teammates have taken and unspend the energy they've used :haw:

Yeah, your launch zone has a small amount of damage, which typically knocks enemies over, but there are exilus mods you can get from sabotage missions (the orokin caches) that give you any of the basic damage types (slash, impact, heat, toxin, etc) You can upgrade them to do more damage.

All your friends are me.

The DMG bullet jump mods costs 12 points to slot, Mobilize costs 5. The difference is 4,2% more bullet jump and laughable dmg. If you have the cores to level them and the forma to make them fit in your frames go for it, but it's a lot of effort for almost no gain.

The lighting one have a chance to stun mobs at least.

Adjust elements to taste and swap in a normal Point Blank if you don't have the primed version.

Just start formaing to switch out the status mods with the pure elemental dmg mods. The best status in the game is still death.

I ramble about it in dull survival missions sometimes, but I totally want some kind of temporal compression aura mod. Make it cost points instead of giving them and make the baddies move faster, idc just let me accelerate the game mode.

Or just, you know, introduce a heavy metal themed frame.

Its ult is throwing the horns sign and playing a sick metal riff so that all the enemies form a huge hyper moshpit and mash eachother to pulp.

Running regular Uranus missions with pubbs are a good way to get it to spawn, if someone is on the first stage of the quest you can trigger the quest that way since the Oculyst always spawn.

For a capture mission if you don't finish before a couple Regurgitate songs are done, you took too long and need more Rush. Can't play old Immortal songs on the ice planet tileset because it takes me half of Battles in the North to make it to the first goddamn door with Volt and max speed zorens let alone finish the mission.

Most of the frames are pretty metal looking already. The crazy head gear on frames like Nyx is pretty metal. Nekros looks pretty black metal at least (and is correspondingly the goddamn weakest frame that everyone makes fun of for having a single trick that it does pretty drat well and nothing else). Hell, they've got metal skin for starters. I don't want no Brutal Legend vibe in this game, hell no.

Do extractors have a decent chance of getting cells, or will I always have to farm for them?

Also: should I potato my marelok or should I try it to see if I like it, and then try to trade for a vaykor?

Nah. If you can get an upgraded version of a gun/frame without a ton of grinding, in general I would save your potato for the upgraded version. Vaykor mareloks are pretty cheap and plenty of goons have the reputation for them.

I'd say I get one rare resource harvest per extractor per week. So yeah, you'll need to farm, extractors don't really help much.

Don't potato a basic marelok. Try it, if you remotely like it then yes get a vaykor and potato that, it's great.

Are goons really so flush with reputation that they would give away / trade cheaply for syndicate stuff? I don't have much except a few R5s, I spent most of yesterday's reward on maxing out some mods for my doomcannon Hek.
