END ME SCOOB posted:Same. Am I loving something up or is there no way as simple as cutting the reinforcement beacons is on Orb Vallis to get enemies to knock it the gently caress off on Cetus? I will be interrupted and hosed with ten times more there. The Plains of Eidolon absolutely need to be updated to get the enemy heat star system like the Vallis has, but in the interim, go out at night and the Grineer will stop regularly throwing dropships and dargyns directly at your position when you're not around one of their bases. (If you haven't cleared War Within, then look out for roving vomvalysts, because you can't finish them off. Avoiding their notice is way easier than avoiding dargyns, though, and if you have cleared War Within, getting rid of them is fast and easy.) Goa Tse-tung posted:just don't take him into tilesets with many sharp turns So just open world and defense/interception nodes, then. Tuxedo Catfish posted:It won't completely solve the problem, though. My best guess is that Orb Vallis alerts are strictly tied to the location where the beacon goes down (or at least have a much shorter leash before the alert level breaks if you wander away) while the PoE alerts are either longer-leashed or are simply plains-wide. Do the PoE even have a heat level system? I think the reinforcement flares are just deterministic: if you let a flare live long enough (you have to kill them really fast before they first pop), it'll call in a dargyn or dropship crew on you, and then on top of that, I think the daytime Plains just intermittently spawn an unalerted dropship or dargyn crew somewhere near your location no matter what. (And the dargyns then alert right away because their sight range is so long.) The only situation that seems to stop this reliably is being underground in a cave, or maybe fishing?

If you've just started, your main priority is to follow the star chart and unlock every junction one by one. You can see what you need to do by mousing over the junction on the map. Just do missions, level your gear and don't worry too much about understanding all the insane poo poo the game throws at you immediately.

He has one of the best content/bullshit ratios out there. He goes out of his way to explain mechanics on weapons insofar as he understands them, as well as explains what mods he recommends for builds and why he puts them in. Like, here's an example for a weapon that is kind of a general oddball among weapons, and his other 'a quick look at...' videos follow the same format, so you can decide for yourself if he's worth following. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLh-JH_gKXA He also sometimes does videos with little talking but exist just for the sheer, balls-out hilarity that ensues when he pushes something to the absolute limits. Such as what happens when you push twin vipers well over 100 fire rate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKpEkp7xZlQ

Pretty much yeah. Ash's bread and butter is getting the most out of his 3 & 4 abilities so ideally you want power, efficiency, fatal teleport, rising storm, covert lethality, as much +combo duration as you can fit into your dagger, and R3 Arcane trickery (it's cheap and both your 3 & 4 skills can trigger it).

Also this guy basically obsoletes Leyzar's entire channel in one video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3iln0ZSZyI (I'm kidding, but only kind of.) For warframes, well... the ones with good builds assume you're a huge jaded nerd, because you have to actively work at finding situations in Warframe where you really need a good frame build. The ones who make it simple are usually idiots posting things that are wildly expensive / hard to build but simultaneously under-optimized. Like, yeah, Brozime will talk to you like you're a big dumb baby but he'll also tell you to put Steel Charge on things. LifeOfRio is one of the vanishingly few YouTube people whose voice isn't like sandpaper for your ears, and he's extremely knowledgeable about Warframe, but he also likes to do this thing where he hides the actual build at a random point (or points) in a 10-15 minute video, and he doesn't really update things for new mods / etc. very often.

Though to be fair, this is mostly if you're playing in teams. At the point where armor actually matters, there is 0 difference between 1 CorPro and 0. This is because armor scaling is so bullshitly absurd that removing just that little is still going to leave them with the same amount of effective HP. You REALLY want all 4 if you're going to the super duper high level stuff. Though, CorPro + Ash's armor stripping mod will ALWAYS work no matter how high it gets because they both work on percentages. Flytrap fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Sep 1, 2019 |

Well, yes and no. 1 Corpro is nothing compared to 2 Corpro, which is nothing compared to 3, etc. They scale up exponentially with each one added. However -- even a single Corpro is still a better damage boost than any of the damage auras, unless you're talking, like, sub-level 30 enemies.

I have a Bladestorm spamming Ash that uses Steel Charge because Bladestorm is buffed by Steel Charge and causes shitloads of bleed procs that ignore armor. It's probably the only case where Steel Charge outperforms Corpro, but it fucks over any team mates that aren't spamming Bladestorm.

This is because armor scaling is so bullshitly absurd that removing just that little is still going to leave them with the same amount of effective HP. You REALLY want all 4 if you're going to the super duper high level stuff. Other way - the higher the level, the more effective Corpro. 1 Corpro against level 30 Napalms reduces from 2.7e4 EHP to 2.1e4 EHP, a 24% reduction. For a level 150 Napalm, you're going from 9.84e6 to 6.94e6 EHP, just shy of 30% total reduction in EHP. For a level 9999 Napalm, it's 7.48e13 to 5.24e13 EHP reduction, which is even more vanishingly close to 30% reduction in EHP. Another way to put this is solo Corpro deals almost 3 million damage to every Napalm when they spawn in. This is still, as Tuxedo said, not nearly as good as going up to 2 Corpro, but there is no way on god's green earth that Steel Charge is going to contribute that much (Steel Charge isn't even particularly good - it's the same multiplier as Pressure Point so it's just pushing a Pressure Point from 90% to 150%). That said, if you're fighting 9999 enemies just, please, use Covert Lethality.

If your entire gimmick is that your damage all comes from sources that explicitly ignore armor and you're solo then that'd be a case. That's an extreme edge case, though.

My main problem with most of the Youtuber Warframe build videos I've seen is they base their builds around some riven they have. I don't have that riven. Though maybe I'm just watching the wrong ones.

Travic posted:My main problem with most of the Youtuber Warframe build videos I've seen is they base their builds around some riven they have. The ones I mentioned don't do that. If they do, I'll let you in on a secret: for primaries, 99% of the time you can swap the riven out for either Vigilante Armaments or Primed Shred and everything will work out fine. For secondaries it's probably a third elemental mod. For melee weapons you have to look at what the riven's stats are, but this isn't as bad / confusing as it sounds. Optimized melee builds are extremely tight, there are basically eight mandatory mods no matter what you're building, and a riven has to have a stat that allows it to take the place of one of those. Figure out what stat that is, and you're good to go. Finally, here's another extremely good source of weapon builds: https://www.cephalonwannab.com/ It comes with a small proviso: these builds are quantifiably tested to be the fastest at clearing a room full of level 100 enemies as quickly as possible for that weapon, with level 155 enemies used as a tie-breaker when the results would otherwise be too close to call. As such, if like most Warframe players you're usually playing lower-level content, AoE is slightly undervalued and Hunter Munitions / slash-viral builds are slightly overvalued.

Pipski posted:In general, what stat(s) can reasonably be dumped for Ash without knackering his abilities? Range and Duration? Depeeeeends.... Range affects how far your 3 can reach - It's pretty generous, though, so you don't need much. It's nice to teleport across entire maps to shank a dude, though. Ash's 4 is fun, but it's just....so slooooow. First you gotta 2, then you gotta tag as many dudes as possible, and you'd better hope that Saryn on your team doesn't wipe the whole map while you're targeting dudes, THEN you've got to activate it and you only get 2 clones who have to work their way down the list, one enemy at a time, and, again, you'd better hope that there isn't another killframe in the same zipcode otherwise you've just wasted your time. They really, really need to rework it - it should just automatically summon a clone to attack any enemy within 5m of you, so all that you have to do is dash through a crowd of enemies to get the same effect, instead of 2, 4, wiggle mouse spastically, 4, wait. Fatal Teleport is useful, but Ash's 2 is his greatest strength - Invisibility is straight-up godmode in Warframe, there's like 2 things in the game that pose even the smallest kind of threat to you when you're invisible. Plus, it isn't a channeled ability, so he can still regenerate energy while invisible, which puts him ahead of Ivara, and when you DO need to kill things he can put out more single-target damage than Loki. My ash build is built entirely around buffing his sprint speed, and duration. I mostly him for Spy and Rescue missions, so I use his 2 more than anything else. I buff duration as much as I can, with a little efficiency sprinkled in. 3 is great when you really need one specific dude to take a dirt nap, and 99% of time time you'll put him down even without a covert lethality dagger. On the off chance that they DO survive, just do it again. McKilligan fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Sep 2, 2019 |

StashAugustine posted:Gara is fun but it feels like she needs so many things- range, duration, cast speed, and can't dump str or eff Gara's my absolute favorite (obviously), so I can give you some tips on this one. You don't need cast speed, because if you're putting up the wall as a wall you'll have time, and if you're putting it up just to smash it you don't need to use it long. Efficiency and duration you're right, you can't dump, but you can modulate based on your needs. Vibe out what's happening more often: your splinter storm running out of time too easily, or you not having the energy to throw out the wall when it's done. Then slot what you personally need. I have range and duration as hard as I can swing them, but not too much efficiency because I tend to have enough time to get more energy.

Our Lady of Katamari is definitely my favorite frame but yeah she is REALLY tight to balance. The one really good news is that you don't need any tank mods, since 90% DR is equivalent to 2700 armor that applies to shields. My best build so far is: CP Cunning Drift Augur Reach Stretch Overextend Augur Message PCont Blind Rage (r5) Energy Conversion Spectrosiphon The worst part is the first 10s or so of the mission where you're trying to get your hands on an energy orb so that your cast of Splinter Storm is at 90%. Once that ball is rolling things go great. I haven't yet gotten a full Energize set so that might change things, but until the energy economy is a balancing act that is frankly kind of stressful.
