How much str you used? What levels were the enemies?

Sidenote: I'm having a genuine blast playing her, after maining vauban, hildryn and gauss for a long long time.

200% PS vs level 100 armored enemies. The turret barely tickles them.

At one point I took her into the simulacrum and the turret is laughably bad against level 140 corrupted heavies.

I had a blast playing her all afternoon too. She has an incredibly cool kit, just needs some scaling.

e: just tested the turret with 314% ps, and Protea's passive up, against a level 140 corrupted heavy gunner. it did maybe 15% of his health bar

It's fun to spam at people when I'm waiting to extract when I don't feel like playing We All Lift Together on my electric shamisen. I spend lots of money on the game, but I don't really buy other games and I don't get out much, so why not? Buying those packs is cheaper than buying platinum, which is convenient because I don't really have the time to farm prime stuff to trade for plat anyway.

After that question I found duration generally favourable. Half-assed with only one forma so had to use some underranked mods

Also that gun as is (plus unranked xoris) killed the boss from the quest easily.

Nice, that definitely looks better than going hard into strength -- just tried with 314% ps and it still wasn't great.

For the Quest Boss Fight, a warning. If you have a secondary out, you'll end up in dualwielding stance. And your alt fire will not alt fire your glaive. Hold F to swap to it fully and it works better (and remember you can map a second button/key to melee heavy if middle mouse is bad for you.)

EDIT : And her melee does a ton of loving slash.

That is a good option, but personally I would die if I had to use a sniper all the time

It was mainly used as a shotgun point-blank weapon, though it was funny how many junction bosses could be oneshotted in the head ending the encounter instantly. I was moreso mentioning that my initial views on the Hek were tainted by effectively cheating with Twitch Prime. Same view on Rhino - I never saw why anyone cared about him being unkillable because I had a free tatered Trinity Prime.

My new run, completely unassisted, has leaned heavily on melee because even the Hek isn't that good when it takes at least two shots to kill everything corpus and you only have access to Cold and Electric mods. The normal Vectis is probably a good option, but I have no idea what MR that is offhand. My (unassisted) newbie advice would probably be Rhino with a Skana constantly modified for the faction you're fighting, then rush to Broken War. Thankfully if you're in the clan nothing matters and anything giving you trouble will probably be met with an MR28 razing the map for you. :v:

If you have side mouse buttons, that seems an obvious choice. Or maybe V or B or something

I use Mouse 4 for heavy attack and Mouse 5 for roll. If you don't have side mouse buttons, buy a new mouse, they own.

28.0.2 patched the boss fight to drop ammo and energy.


I brought my Ignis Wraith and it was able to fairly easily kill her pre-patch. I did get tripped up by the weird dual wielding thing when I tried my secondary.

It’s great, pushing it left lowers the volume, pushing it right raises it. It’s very helpful.

V or B aren’t used for anything right?

The biggest change I'd want for Protea farming is making it so kills above the max rank matter. Right now there's literally no incentive to kill a single enemy above 75. Having it so you get more rewards the more you kill (eg. getting 150 kills gets you 2 rank 3 rewards) would make grinding much better.

the odds are low, but honestly running through both in a super optimized group, and solo with mesa, the farm itself is supremely easy. I regret buying her because just getting the guns i'm only missing one frame part.

Ah, interesting, I didn't know that. But over here we have a few conservative fuckheads say things like the poor should just sell some of their stocks when they lose their jobs to cover the shortfall. Or the liberal "self-made" people who just started with a modest million euro interest-free loan or a few houses…

For those farming Protea...

T1: Skyresh, Phobos (Capture)
T2: Triton, Neptune (Rescue)
T3: Hydra, Pluto (Capture)

Those seem to be fastest. If you get fissures that raise enemy level, keep in mind that Triton will go to T3 I think.

I like the Stahlta quite a bit. Primary fire is kind of like a Boltor that pins enemies, secondary fire is a Lenz-like AOE with innate radiation.

Secondary fire hits 100% Crit just with point strike..

As someone who regularly follows the Star Citizen thread here(and has seen fellow goon Tenno also posting there), I wanted to highlight:
-Creative director of company in front of camera bluntly saying the convention has been postponed, why it's been postponed, what changes are in store to correct what some saw as a mistake from last year. No fancy editing, no bullshit, no corporate speak.
This is how you do. Props to DE for this.

I mean I love SC and the glorious bad example of everything that it is, and regardless of anyone's personal feelings about DE there isn't a studio out there that can out-lie the crobbler, but their big reveals don't have a great track record. I'm all for more realistic depictions of what is coming out but I'm kind of :ohdear: lately about holding back for the showstopper.

Farming Protea parts is making me lose my mind.

Also the DR on treasurers is insane. Baruuk can still beat the poo poo out of them with the augment for his 4, but the real answer with any sort of damage gating like this is, yet again, Mesa.

DE's design process seems to be either "extended immunity phase" or "massive obnoxious damage gating". In the latter's case, Mesa shits on that. Rapid fire anything shits on that, and Mesa is the most rapid fire anything in the loving game.

Mechanically she has some definite strengths, but everything about her kit is pretty underwhelming. The grenades can be nigh endlessly spammed to lock down a whole room, but the individual damage numbers are small and combined with the visuals, "death by a thousand cuts" isn't very exciting. The turrets fall into a similar situation. Sure 3 of them will melt a squad of dudes, but the design incentives dropping them in one direction and running off to take care of enemies elsewhere. After all, if you're gonna stand there and enjoy watching your turrets knock out dudes, you could've just swung your sword a couple times and killed everything right there. The dispenser is handy so I don't have to spam operator as much, but health and energy haven't been an issue since I got my first arcanes. The 4 is neat as a "start spamming! and be invincible!" button, but w/ p. flow, you'll be spamming non-stop for the entire mission anyway :shrug:

I've got a couple forma slapped in and I'm gonna keep playing her all day seeing if my opinion changes, but for now she's just a lot of key presses for the same work you could do with less.
