I am only Mastery 8, does that lock me out of anything I should be gunning for? And thanks for the advice.

Pro-tip for Mastery (from someone at Rank 16): Mastery doesn't mean poo poo after Rank 10. Unless you are a crazy person don't grind for mastery after that.

Or do. It gives you something to do and you get to try new guns and frames. Nothing is mastery locked after 10 though other than loadout slots.

At MR8, all content (maps, missions, and weapons) is open to you with the Pluto Relay. At 10, you get your last excavator slot. Past that, more loadout slots and daily rep.

On the topic of warframes, I just built Oberon. Can any Good Users give me some hints as to how I should play him. I'm kinda flummoxed with him. Is he area of denial, defensive, support? Does he need some augment to shine?

I think I should fit him for health and armour right, with the usual range/strength power mods?

Aesis: Oct 9, 2012; Filthy J4G

If you want to utilize his regen ability you'd want to have at least 50% duration (from 100%) so the dot heal isn't too slow. Otherwise build for strength/range with hp/armor.

# ? Sep 2, 2015 07:21

Denzine: Sep 2, 2011; One time, I did a thing.

actually Renewal heals slower with less duration. it's an inverse relationship.

more duration = faster heal.

Rhino's fun for solo play, Iron skin allows you to instantly stop taking damage and also not get knocked down. Trinity is also fun, she has no crowd control at all but with link+blessing you can take no damage and heal any damage you do take, plus energy vampire means you can cast it constantly. People ask for you to play trin for energy vampire+healing but I just use her to make myself immortal. If they wanted to not die ever then they should have picked trin too.

I know, but it's kinda pointless to try stack duration just for Renewal since Oberon doesn't depend on duration, hence why I said -50% or above.

Fabulous Invincible Frames:

Valkyr with +duration for invincible stabmans forever

Frost can sit inside his Snowglobe bubble for (technically) invincible shootmans forever (FrostP has more base shields than Frost)

Add Trinity to the mix for extra invincibility :coal:

Also fun:

Mirage to shoot all the things while moving (Hall of Mirrors plus Hall of Malevolence plus Angstrum / Amprex makes me giggle every time)

Nova to explode all the things, +range with Antimatter Prime for chain reactions that can stretch across ridiculous distances (NovaP has more base shields and power than Nova)

I like all of those frames

You're pretty much on-point with the mods, strength is your number one, with range and efficiency added to taste. I play him basically like a Paladin: tons of health, healing, buffs/debuffs. Use your 1 to irradiate entire groups (+strength makes this thing nuts), use 2 to keep your team from being knocked down or status effected, use 3 to heal, and use 4 like a Rhino stomp that spawn a poo poo ton of health orbs.

Taking bets on which syndicate primary is mysteriously worse than the base gun.

edit: Warframe isn't picking up commands from my new trackball's function buttons. Currently I have them set to be page up/page down, and then binding stuff to those buttons (which is what I did on my old trackball). The key binding menu doesn't respond when I hit the function keys. The only other game I've tried with it, Ziggurat, works just fine. Anyone have any advice?

edit2: my new trackball, not that it'll help because no one's heard of it, is an Elecom EX-G.

Because most of the time you just use the syndicate menu from your ship, avoiding loading screens and slooowly walking around the station like an rear end in a top hat. You can't turn in medallions from that screen and can't access the scanning-fetishist faction without entering the relay because?

Great, only 300k reputation to go. That's going to be a slog when I'm levelling up Steel through Red Veil.

I also have about half a level's xp to go to level 8 mastery. Good thing I have the twin grakatas for a secondary until then.

Daily missions do not count against your daily rep cap, neither to the medallions. The bonus from the syndicate sigils also affects the bonus rep you get from daily missions. It's not that hard to get a shitload of rep.

Getting rep isn't the hard part. You get 1000x your account level every day, then the 3 rep missions, and however many medallions you can pick up. It's the offerings that are the real grindy bullshit. I've been stuck on rank 3 of arbiters for a while now because seriously dudes, a Bo Prime handle? Want me to get you anything else while I'm at it? A Prisma Gorgon maybe? Maxed Serration? loving assholes.

b) Why can't I put concealed explosives on these

Keep in mind they use the same Icon as crates, so it's not a cakewalk, but it still helps. The same is true for Sabotage caches.
