Is there ever a good reason to do the "burn 4 mods for a rare mod" thing? It seems to cost a lot of credits, though I guess that cost is pretty low once you're capable of doing the highest difficult Index thing.

But at some point you will be in a position to decide wether to or not. A good way to burn the dozens of spare tether grenades and medi-pet kits and other index mods

On the other, it's how I got CO back when it was more valuable, so I'd be a hypocrite to totally deride it.

Kokoro Wish posted:So what stances do people consider big winners out of the rework now that there's been alot of settling time? Blind Justice for weeb swords is pretty good and has a good gapcloser, Vermillion storm is good for claws, crushing ruin and cleaving whirlwind are well known for good spin combos but I find hammers to have too much lag, the one stance for Ninkondi's is real good and has 5 dispo if you get a riven, Cyclone kraken machete wraith is rather good at chopping up anything, didn't care much for staves or polearms when I gave them a go nor final harbinger but people say that one is good. I have not tried stances for Tonfas, Rapiers, Dual daggers, Dual swords, Warfans, Scythes, both types of whips so I can't say how good they might be. Since crit is the only way to go with melee since Lich's and Thralls are immune to status effects, how are people building the crit variants of normal and heavy attacks? I imagine sacrificial steel is mandatory now with 220% crit and double heavy attacks. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Nov 21, 2019 |

I agree with your analysis but I've tested some of the ones you skipped Skipped Tonfas, Rapiers feel better but eh, All the Dual Swords are really funny, though I think Carving Mantis has the most closer and Swirling Tiger the most hits/second (it also feels smooth as butter). Dual Daggers haven't impressed me much. Haven't tried the Warfan. Reaping Spiral feels absolutely incredible, A+ one of the highest winners along with Cleaving Whirlwind. Regular whips still feel mostly the same, whipswords never clicked with me before and still don't click now. With Sword n Bord I'm preferring Final Harbinger to 11th Storm but that's mostly preference.

I haven't touched Fortuna/Cetus stuff even though I keep meaning to. I figure I want to at least do Fortuna since it has frame(s) locked behind it. What's the best way to get rep for that, and does it require any level of equipment?

If you can hunt the big dogs, they're simultaneously the easiest hunting target in the game and give 8k for something like 3 minutes.

The bounties in Cetus are largely just world building around Cetus. You can find some stuff in the plains that will give you some backstory on Gara and maybe Revenant, and both of those frames are really good. Gara is silly strong and good to have in a party pretty much always? Revenant may or may not really wow a lot of people but he's quite strong, perhaps unfairly survivable, and his kit works a little too well on liches right now. The Quills have a little more backstory and world building when you open them up after doing War Within. But neither of these things are really strong on overall plot or even current story stuff. Gara's back story gives you a good look at some old war stuff Fortuna and Solaris U have more story that you actually experience, and a few characters who are a lot deeper than most anything you find in Cetus. You also get more and different dialogue when you hit rank 5 in Fortuna, and get shown a secret. For spoiler free hint at that reveal just refer back to Valleyant's post.

gnoma posted:I think you're missing something with Whipclaw. It does damage in an area by default, can be spammed more or less indefinitely, and will easily out damage melee. There is no setup to it, you just press 1 over and over and kill everything in 10 meters of where your cursor is. oh no, I'm not missing it. I very clearly put it does insane damage in that post you're quoting, but here's the thing: you can get a fragor prime and spam jump slams for hundreds of thousands of damage for no energy cost in a massive aoe around you, and there are other melee weapons right now that can do similar poo poo. Whipclaw does a lot of damage, for sure. It's just not a very good way to use khora because in doing so you're limiting how far you can push the other stats that make her CC and survivability really good. Khora's also much harder to get than any number of weapons that put whipclaw to shame via just being more usable or doing more damage in a better way. That's why I call it a trap. If you want to whipclaw for the fun of it then I don't think me telling you it's a trap is going to stop you, and in the end this game is about having fun with the toys DE gives us. I just get very tired of hearing about what is her worst build being touted every time someone asks. Ytlaya posted:Does ranking that stuff up have story content? I haven't touched Fortuna/Cetus stuff even though I keep meaning to. I figure I want to at least do Fortuna since it has frame(s) locked behind it. When I did it I just spent a few hours caving and then turned in the gems from that over the course of a week. I think it might be faster to do the hunting once you reach a certain rank, since you need the right call for the big dogs? But I don't think those were in when I did it. And yes, Solaris U at least has a bit of story stuff for maxing it out. It's very cool and I highly recommend it, plus kitguns are fun and you'll want the recipes for making the cut gems and alloys anyway. Oh and do index and buy debt bonds. Those are HUGE time savers.

Does weapon base speed affect heavy attacks at all? I'm thinking of making a zaw to play with the good ol' scythe heavy attack guaranteed-slash-proc oneshots but i'm not sure what balance of damage/speed to use. Though looking at how much damage heavy-attack scythes are doing right now I could probably oneshot anything sub-100 with even the fastest zaw scythe. It'll be fun to get crazy high energy regen from stacking exodia brave too, once I can eventually buy 9 more copies of the dang arcane.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Whipclaw does a lot of damage, for sure. It's just not a very good way to use khora because in doing so you're limiting how far you can push the other stats that make her CC and survivability really good. It makes her one of the top 3-4* frames in the game for clearing missions. She won't beat Saryn, Volt, or Mirage in Onslaught or Defense, but for every other mission type Whipclaw turns her into one of the very best damage frames. If you think fragor prime jump slams can compete with it for dps, range and ease of use, then you likely haven't experienced Whipclaw at its full potential. I like her CC options and I agree you can make strong builds using them. I use a 250 power strength Strangledome build to mostly afk 30 minute Kuva Survivals. But warframe is a game where damage trumps crowd control by a large margin and that makes Whipclaw incredibly useful (and fun) and the exact opposite of a trap. * The other frames I'd rank at the top for general purpose damage are Mesa and melee Wisp/Gauss. Titania and Baruuk are close but less straightforward to use. Then Gara, Volt, Saryn, Revenant, and Equinox who can mass murder but have ramp up times and caveats that can slow them down when running end to end through corridor missions. New Ember probably fits in somewhere but I haven't put much time into her yet.

I see why people like the dome, but I could never stand the limited number of hooks, and if the enemies aren't dying in a split second, you've got to start whipping the dome anyway for damage since the enemies are spread out everywhere outside regular aoe weapon range. Whipclaw in general is just so easy to spam, has crazy range and animation time, you can just sit on a point and mash away. The timer being as generous as it is on Accumulating really helps too.

Melee can get great damage but you can't be at every corner of a room at once. I think you're basically on the money on your frame ranks, and I'd put Ember at the top with Mesa. You can't run and meteor at the same time, but if your airborne you keep momentum so you can go pretty fast while obliterating Grineer/graphics.

From what I understand, used to be that War and Broken War's blueprints each required the other? So you'd reforge your Broken War and then break it again. The only way to have both at once was to buy Hunhow's Gift. So killing ~600 conculysts is actually an improvement if you think about it. Maybe when New War drops we'll have a better way to build this dumb sword.

I mean, Broken War is still one of the best weapons in its class, so, yeah. In fact I wouldn't use it to make War unless you have a spare. Or unless you just really like War, I guess. War's not that great as far as heavy blades go, even though it does look pretty cool. If you really need a good heavy blade Galatine or Gram Prime is where you should be looking.

Ytlaya posted:What are things like those and those flowers things used for? I've been scanning them since I have the upgrade to make scans free, but I don't see them on any blueprints. The Silver Grove quest has you collect a bunch of plants to build certain gear items. Mostly from earth, some from other planets. The items require fairly large amounts of the plants, I’d make sure to get the double scan upgrade for the synthesis scanner before you start the quest. The same gear items can be used after the quest has ended to resummon one of the spectres you encounter in the course of the quest. This comes up in the Nightwave weekly missions on occasion, so I’ve been trying to make a habit of scanning plants so I can always provide for the group I’m in (only one person needs to have the item to summon the specter). Additonally, the spectres have a pretty small drop table of mods, including a handful of hard to find stance mods (e.g. Atlantis Vulcan for the nunchaku) and some auras that are exclusive to the spectres. I don’t think the auras are good but somehow every other pub group I’m in has someone running Growing Power so I dunno maybe I’m just drinking too much corpro cool-aid

War is good, heavy blades is just a really crowded field at the top end. Gramps, Galaprime and Paracesis are extremely good and I guess there's a zaw too. War would be great in any other set. Broken War is probably the best 1h sword outside zawland though.

Be Rhino, grab a gun that does a shitload of damage in a small amount of time (ex: Rubico Prime, Exergis, Opticor Vandal, etc.) and just light suckers up. Your AI teammates have the same messed-up armor scaling as your foes so they won't die to a stiff breeze. Clown on the enemy team, deposit points in bundles of 15. Avoid Jad Teran (he can nullify your Iron Skin).
