I didn't even know that that was a mechanic! I'll pipe up in clan chat and see what happens; it seems to be mostly quiet on PS4 but it won't hurt to try.

Yes, and the first phase there is still supper annoying. If you get a host with a bad ping its nearly impossible to hit the weak spot as drone Vay Heck move too erratically.

Phase 2 in his Terra frame is a walk in the park compared to phase 1

Yeah str affects how fast and how much you heal from 2 and 4. So tanking it like that really is hurting the mummy.

Vitality, steel fiber and rage are all mandatory no arguments. From that it seems we all have different views so I'll just say however you mod try to keep inaros at 100% strength. Otherwise his ult will lose part of it's use.

Well I don't have that mod, so I have no option at the moment anyway. I'll have to try it with and without to see the difference. I think people focus on healing from finishers though.

one thing I really enjoy about this game is that it's very hard to be an active detriment to your group, so even if you're a dumbass like me you can usually pull your weight

I’ve been putting two element mods on one gun and the other two on my other gun. Is this dumb and wrong?

I’m at the point of the game where elements are turning up on mobs so what’s the best strategy to manage resists and susceptibilities?

I was looking at the syndicate offerings, and saw in the relic pack it says one is a guaranteed rare. Does that mean that its guaranteed to be high level like an Axi or Neo, or that the contents of your relics are pre-determined before you actually open them?

I've never had to use 2 to heal and since you're completely invulnerable while devouring I wouldn't worry about how long it takes. And as far as I know the only part of Inaros 4 that's affected by ability strength is when you discharge it, which I don't think I'd ever do since you'd lose all your armour bonus and status immunity for small amounts of damage.

Which mod are you lacking cause I will hook you up myself, given that you are on PC.

Pocket sand is the quick and easy health regen, but even a group of four enemies getting swarmed can heal players and defense targets to full in a matter of moments so don't dismiss his four as just CC.

You got it on the first try. It's two Lith/Meso and one Neo/Axi.

Corrosive is your general go to for safe damage paired with Blast/Heat/Cold if you have the room. Early on though it's not a huge deal and the extra damage you get from just having elemental mods equipped makes the biggest difference. Since they add damage rather than convert your base damage to an element you'll never be doing less damage by having elementals on your weapons. Magnetic is generally the least good combined elemental though.

Scarab swarm isn't about the damage. It's aoe CC and aoe healing that even affects your squadmates. Blind is generally better for cc but the bug-throw does work against enemies who aren't facing you and it can spread to new enemies who approach the area later. Even with 40% powerstrength, a scarab swarm on a group of 5 or so sortie enemies can easily full-heal you and all your nearby squadmates too.

Once your completed misssion detremined you where awarded a relic, the system roll on the relic table for your mission tier level (thus not giving you an Axi on an earth mission), relics having various % drop chance based on rarity of the possible content. The last two levels of syndicate ranks need rare Prime part as offering so the relics pack you buy from them are from a drop table that have a higher chance of containing one of those requested parts as possible rewards. One of them will be a "rare" relic (rare seem to mean "below 10%" for DE), but the content is not predetermined.

Here's a handy-dandy guide to proper element use:

Useful Elements:

Corrosive (Electric + Toxic): Will reduce enemy armor, strong against Grineer and Infested Ancients.
Radiation (Heat + Electric): Will make enemies vulerable to friendly fire and they will teamkill each other. Stronger than Corrosive against Grineer big boys like Bombards, Napalms, or various Dropships in Plains of Eidolon. Also wrecks Corpus Bursas.
Blast (Heat + Cold): Will ragdoll anything and everything and is a solid general-purpose element.
[Saryn-Only] Gas (Heat + Toxic): Extremely effective against Infested small-fry and creates a toxic-element cloud to detonate Saryn's Spores.
Surprise

Decent Elements:

Everything except magnetic.

Bad Elements:

Magnetic (Cold + Electric)


You may ask, why is magnetic bad? Because while it may completely strip corpus shields, the shields themselves are already flimsy as hell and if you have a weapon with impact damage they cease to be an obstacle. Toxic bypasses shields entirely and goes straight to their health pool.

it's the best for damage types. for applying statuses it's not so good. however, you really need dual stat mods to do a proper status weapon, which is not terribly newbie-friendly.

Yeah but magnetic is just the second-class citizen who's only there because cold and elec are the only elements left after making gas.

Every warframe would be letting out a series of grunts and yips as they parkoured around. Every power cast would be boldly declared. That Saryn next to you would just be saying, "Toxic spore.

The new meta is viral/slash but it only works on certain weapons, and totally newbie unfriendly because you need the barro slash mods.
