frost's snowglobe is a hinderance more often than not if everyone isn't trying to defend a central spot that they're all grouped around. one of the best things about gara is that her vitrification can be shot through from both sides

You know how a lot of Warframes have 1 or 2 abilities that seem entirely superfluous and useless outside of using them for the sake of it? For Wukong he's got three of those and then his technically useful ability is just that he's passively hard to kill until his energy drains away.

wukong's exalted staff doesn't even feel good to use because the attack combo is weird as gently caress. the frame desperately needs a rework in some form. it's the only frame i've actively deleted just to make room that doesn't even have a prime yet.

I'm having a total blast with my Shaku Riven, (+Damage, +Cold, +Combo Timer). I sunk a potato and 2 forma into it for the riven and Condition Overload. The other mods I'm running are PP and Spoiled Strike for damage, and the other 4 mods are all Elementals and Status Elementals to make it a Cold + Gas weapon with about 60%ish status chance. I've been told Shattering Strike is great for stripping armor, but I queued up some lvl 100 corrupted gunners in the simulation thingy and this build still chewed through them in seconds even without it. There's a little bit of randomness since it's not 100% status, but it hits so frequently that it procs more than often enough for Condition Overload to shine. I'll do some more experimenting later, but I think I prefer the damage from Spoiled Strike over the armor stripping, at least for the moment. I had an absolute blast just tearing around as an invisible Octavia and just ripping through hordes of enemies, plus Octavia's 3 buffs attack speed to make her an absolute monster. What other frames have abilities that would Synergize really well with this particular shaku build? McKilligan fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jun 8, 2018 |

i've been having a lot of fun with khora as a melee frame because with the speed boost you get from your passive and armored agility + rush you have enough innate runspeed to basically match the speed buff a volt can give. that combined with being relatively tanky means that there's not much that can stop you from absolutely shredding up enemies while blitzing around like you're on crank.

wid posted:- The infested bio weapon was released to slow down the Sentients during the war. The Tenno were established after this. Also it didn't work at all even a little bit, since the infestation never caught the fever for the flavor of Sentient. It extremely liked how everything else tasted, however, and now we're still disinfecting the joint eons later. It's like if you trained an attack dog from birth to protect you and your child, then the day you were actually confronted by an attacker it just humped their leg a little, then ate your kid and your face and also humped your leg a little for good measure. So, again, good job there Orokin, real credit to the galaxy.

Mods do his passive better, Gara does his 1 better, his 2 is pretty good but several other frames can do invincibility gimmicks cleaner, his 3 is a mediocre slow mashup of zephyr/titania flight, ash teleport/several peoples' stuns, and several characters' invisibility, and his 4 is better done by an Excalibur switching between a jat kittag and exalted blade. He's the Jack in the Box of Warframes: inferior but varied imitations of several other styles

I was critical of Khora when she first launched, but after her reworks she's become one of my favorite frames for just about any mission type. I'm running 100 str, 190 range, 175 efficiency, 157 duration, using a stat stick with a good riven disposition and just jumping around and whipping people constantly. Use the cat for healing, use her 4 for CC, use her 2 to drag groups of enemies into her 4, then whip them for 100k+ damage. Unrelated - a good use of 7 forma:

Wukong isn't necessarily bad, he's just very boring. They need to revamp the abilities to make it feel like you're actually doing something. Where did you grow up to see that awesome hosed up show? I wish I had that as a kid

Pipski posted:Wukong's cloudwalk needs to actually let him zoom around on a fluffy little cloud, like in Monkey Magic. Wukong thoughts. His cloudwalk should be like the vlad frame's mist ability that got shown off recently, except he should ride on top of it an still be invincible, and be able to control it mid flight and maybe even have it be a sustained ability. Make it have the really short stun proc 100% of the time on people he passes through, no knockdown or damage needed, just some slight gently caress you to big crowds. I don't know if we even want to change his 3, it's kind of his tanky gimmick. Maybe he should just cause an aoe knockdown and perform an insulting gesture whenever he dies, instead of getting knocked down himself. His 1 and his 4 are the same thing, one is just bad. Make either of them a version of his 4 and give him a new 4, probably just making his existing 4 better and giving him a new 1. They didn't give Khora an exalted weapon for her 1, so Wukong just needs a buffed or reworked 4 and a new 1. Probably something with some CC just to play up the lore of Wukong clowning on whole armies of people. I don't even know what his passive is but make that something fun. McKilligan posted:I had an absolute blast just tearing around as an invisible Octavia and just ripping through hordes of enemies, plus Octavia's 3 buffs attack speed to make her an absolute monster. What other frames have abilities that would Synergize really well with this particular shaku build? Volt with Speed, Valkyr with Warcry, Saryn's Toxic Lash will buff out your gas damage, and also Rhino's Roar. Any of those will do very well with any melee really, I want to say Saryn least of all of them but then again Toxic Lash's melee damage just got doubled so maybe that's real silly too.

So, again, good job there Orokin, real credit to the galaxy. I don't think they were expecting the virus to wipe out the Sentients. They're just too weird and advanced to fall to mere virus. And Alad V was the one that managed to create a strain that could infect robots. I think they just used it as a scorched earth strategy. Even if they don't get infected, the Sentients still need to fight off the infested. The Orokin were gigantic assholes but their way was working for a long, long time. It's when they got too greedy and full of themselves that they got bitchslapped. The story of Bilsa and her superior with the grineer workers is the perfect microcosm of Orokin history. Complete with the powersaw to the spine.

I really do like the Valkyr Prime trailer they did. They basically repurpose Valkyr's rage as a smouldering anger against the Orokin, rather than purely the result of Alad's experiments.

Regardless of how people criticize the plot, at least its always surprising kinda. They refuse to go with "safe" tropes so it feels new.

The infestation converts useless biomass (people) into valuable industrial materials. A way for the Orokin to keep their production up with the Sentients burning all their infrastructure to the ground.

I feel pretty confident that the reveal of the Sacrifice is going to be That the Warframes are quasi-lobotomized heavily mutated people, or at least they originally were. It's why they still seem to have some very rudimentary free will/instincts, and it would jive with the fact that the Orokin were EXTREMELY opposed to using genuine artificial intelligences. Even the Cephalons were built out of the brains of dissidents. And what better vessel for the body hopping powers of the Tenno than a person? In this light, Umbra Warframes and probably even the Stalker himself are Warframes that have regained some semblance of sapience. Obtaining them could be more akin to bargaining or a pact than the usual process. I suspect that the Stalker is a confused, awakened Warframe bereft of its Operator that can't distinguish between it's own memories and those of its former Operator.

I think the 'sacrifice' is more likely going to refer to the sacrifice that lotus / margulis made when they crossed the void to come back to the origin system. She specifically uses the word 'sacrifice' to refer to it in so many story quests, I don't think it's a coincidence.
