Looking at the companion mod changes, a few jumped out at me:

  • Sacrifice still allows your Sentinel to automatically revive you; however, the Sentinel now goes into Incapacitation instead of being destroyed. Adds 15 seconds to your Sentinel's Incapacitation time.
  • Pack Leader has been changed. Instead of healing your Companion by 36% of melee damage inflicted, it now restores 100 Health per melee hit. Excess healing becomes Overguard instead, with a maximum of 1200 Overguard.
  • Spare Parts: Previously Spare Parts would cause Sentinels to drop rare materials on death. This Mod now causes your Sentinel to mark an enemy for 5 seconds, choosing a new target every 15 seconds. Killing the marked enemy increases their loot drop chance by 200%.

Spare parts might not be as good overall as Charm, but I could see a consistent stream of doubled loot drops like that to be at least workable.

Spare parts+the new mod that multiplies companions could be funny.

If you play on an invisibility frame, your pet was probably picked off by flame waves from other players aggravating the arson eximus more than anything else. Flame waves deal 400 damage and they don't scale with enemy level, so having constant overguard for status immunity would make an invisibility pet extremely hard to kill.

Also notable that Panzer uses spores while invisible, but sentinels won't fire their weapons.

Enemy highlight is such a nice feature, it is much better suited to this game's pace to know where to shoot rather than need to pixel hunt the grey-green grineer shoulder peeking over the grey-green decorative objects

I imagine it'll be changed in qol 2: electric boogaloo, but hydroid's new 3 is not a cumulative skill or cast to refresh. Every cast will take a new value based on available targets, so be aware of that so you don't accidentally tank your armor.

Something I noticed when setting up a Helios to scan stuff for me is how nice it is for random entities to suddenly get highlighted. From the plains where shaders make the Grineer camouflage highly effective to whatever the heck is going on in Deimos. Realized quick that Helios only scans things a certain number of times max so this quality of life effect is limited time

no longer!

When they said it was supposed to be like the old void key missions the only thing I could remember was lengthy defense missions. Instead they're a little like syndicate medallion hunts with an easy gimmick, the people you need to 'rescue' show up on the map from a tile away and then they mark the resource for you. It took maybe an hour or a little over to get all the resources needed for dagath and her whip, and it's real easy to run them back to back because only one person uses a key and they only cost 5k syndicate rep. And it's real easy to find people to run with... for now, she could be a real poo poo grind in the near and far future.

It's not amazing or even a cool new simple mode that'll be used for anything but Dagath, but it could be a lot worse

The SP versions do get kinda spicy and that's fun, although the real difficulty was me running into a couple of new day-1-mainline softlock bugs.

The only real nitpick i have with the mode is that having to carry the thing kinda ruins having fun with primary weapons.

Is there a way to see if your Dojo has a room under construction short of going around to each node? I was going to build the dagath segment for lljk(ps) but didn't want to start it if someone else already had, and our Dojo is pretty labyrinthine.

It's annoying and time consuming for sure, but expensive? Nah. The clan gets fully refunded when you demolish a room, including any plat that may have been used to rush a build.

I was rather low/completely out of forma for some time upon rejoining the game and building out a long hall to make a drydock, out of my own pocket, didn't help.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/17bfct6/helios_shred_sp_heavy_gunner_now/

So this is a thing. Helios with Decon can solo level 190 SP heavy gunners.

Also Duplex Bond is neat but it doesn't work at all with frames that don't actually have energy (Hildryn, Lavos, etc.). :smith:

EDIT: Ok I just realized something silly. Reinforced Bond gives you 60% attack speed IF your pet has 1200 MAX overshields (it doesn't give a poo poo about current shields)... which includes MELEE ATTACK SPEED. And then Tenacious Bond gives you 1.2x crit multipler (it says "Final Critical Damage Multiplier", so I assume it's just a flat 1.2x because the wiki hasn't updated about any of this poo poo yet).

Who loves Crit Damage AND Melee Haste? Oh, yeah, it's my boy Baruuk. That 60% attack speed from RB loving stacks with Arcane Strike. It's amazing. He punches like a machine gun.



This is what I'm currently running with my spore cat. Bite gives 86% crit, and the max shields are 1295.
