Bug Squash posted:Corrosive on my Mesa Regulators, yeah? If I understand these mechanics then I'll watch anything that isn't dying instantly become an increasingly squishy lump. The regulators have high crit, poor status chance and super high damage, so you're better off going with a crit, high damage build. You can slot corrosive, but it won't matter as much

That's the thing though. I think it's quite impenetrable for new players how there's a difference between damage types and status effects, but they both get called by the same element types. The damage types are the most confusing because you have to memorise a big old table of which units use which armour/shield type, and which damage types have bonuses / handicaps when applied to that armour type, like an excessively violent game of pokemon. For example, if you have a radiation type gun, the status effect is that it switches friendly fire on for that unit, and it does damage to its allies as well as getting shot by them. However the damage type 'radiation' with a 0% status chance gets a +75% bonus against an eidolon's default armor type. If all 4 players have corpro, the armour is gone and suddenly the weapons damage is applied to flesh, which has a whole different set of resistances and bonuses. Corrosive is a good all-round choice because it has few things it's weak to and a lot of common enemy types it's strong against. It also has the status effect of stripping armour, but only if the status effect procs.

Here are the 3 good "all-rounder" elemental combos. Rad/Viral Corrosive/Cold Gas/Electricity If you're using a Condo-melee: Gas/whatever Blast/whatever The most important thing is to never build magnetic. Magnetic is bad and sucks at everything.

Corrosive/cold is my go-to combo for everything up to and including Sortie3 content. It gets various bonuses against pretty much everything but infested, and they have such low HP it doesn't really matter. You can make an argument for corrosive/fire against infested if you really want, but it's a pain to switch out between missions. Rad/Vir takes over in super high level content or premades with 4xCP, since rad does useful things like disable ancient healing/resist auras, and vir cuts massive HP pools in half. Certain weapons can get away with just one combined element (like crit automatics using vir with hunter munitions) but for the most part you want to have a couple of types to round out your dps. Except magnetic. Magnetic is garbage.

mentalcontempt posted:Are you saying use the first three for ranged weapons and these two for melee? It's for a very specific build that uses a mod called Condition Overload. It geometrically increases damage for each active status effect on an enemy. One of the recommended statuses, blast counts as two statuses so it ramps up more damage. If you're not running condition overload the same primary/secondary suggestions apply for melee

What're some zaw setups people like? After leveling a nikana-based one (Sepfahn/Kwath/Ruhang II), gilding it, and leveling it again, I decided I dislike it, but I DO like building frankenswords, so I'm keen to hear what everyone's using.

All of the grips except for Peye (1h) and Seekalla (2h) are garbage poo poo that gives you lousy swing speed. For links use anything that incorporates Jai or Jai 2 (attackspeed), balance crit/status to taste.

Generally speaking, the trick to building zaws is fastest grip (Peye/Seekalla) + Ekwana Jai II. The resulting stat spread is viable for both Blood Rush and Condition Overload builds (or a hybrid of the two if you want to get really silly).

I run Radiation on my Peacemakers, personally. Strong against most things that one would find annoying and everything else dies almost instantly anyway. Also Arcane Velocity is cheap for a rarer Arcane, 100-120 for a set. Shame Precision doesn't work with Peacemaker. Not enough headshots and I've never noticed a damage buff when I do.

I was reading somewhere magnetic was good against shields, and built some magnetic configs for use against Corpus. I have noticed it royally sucks for everything else when I forgot to switch configs. Are those all-rounders equally good against each enemy type (grineer / corpus / infested) or do some work better than others. Also, which should I go for first, a zaw or a kitgun? I tried a couple of hours of Anthem and holy new Bioware Batman, "unfinished" is the one word I would describe that game.

Honestly, if Magnetic procs just disabled non-Boss enemy powers and abilities (ex. Commander Teleports, Comba fields, Infested Osprey gas clouds on charge attacks) for a few seconds or made them much less likely to be used for longer periods, it'd be an entirely reasonable element. But it doesn't. It just weakens Shields and only Shields. While utterly wrecking Tenno with HUD distortion and energy drain. Also, my two polearm Zaws are GRATE PRIME and MOONLIGHT THRESHCONE.
