Staggering large enemies is also super useful, as well as fun and most importantly stylish. It feels great to just block a disruptor and then get a stealth attack animation off on them.

It helps that it also turns off their gravity (for absolutely no reason other than hilarity) so they gracefully float into the air as they disintegrate into pink particles.

The only bad thing about vaporizing enemies is that it screws with Desecrate if you're Nekros-farming.

Man, I crafted the furax punch hands and they really suck, which disappoints me because they look really cool.

Yeah, they're not the best of the punchy ones (that one is probably still Obex) -- however, they are pretty good with a potato in them.

The catch about all of the fist weapons, really, is that Reach and Fury are mandatory for them to be enjoyable, which ends up meaning that a potato is mandatory in order to have enough points left for good +damage mods.

You can still interact with channel-killed corpses with Desecrate. I've actually cut one in half (which de-vaporized it :v:), then desecrated both parts with no hassles. It seems like it's similar to Molecular Prime in that there's still a corpse node, but it may not last as long.

Well, when the servers are back up I have more welfare handouts for people. Also, I have a paltry sum of 5 WHOLE PLAT. First person to name the last rock concert/performer I saw gets it all, mainly because we have to do something while we wait to shoot more mans. It was in October 2012, name the concert or performers, I don't care.

Oh hey, you can get life strike as a 5 minute reward on the pluto rail survival. :vince:

Yeah, that's what I meant to say. The optimal way to desecrate is to bisect everyone and then double-tap with Natural Talent. With four Nekroses you can get up to 17 loot rolls on an enemy.

Which is pretty serious if you're Tranquil Cleave farming.

You need resource chance boosters for time-capital efficiency, not sure if they stack with each other though (absolutely yes if so). Then again, it may be better for some people to literally pay some pubbie to farm the mod for them. So four Nekros running swords should yield best RNG dick-bashing results.

I believe that natural talent and multiple Nekros only works against Prosecutors. Because I've been in regular missions with multiple Nekros and we were definitely competing for corpses. That said, I can't say for certain that we were competing for corpses as of Update 13. So maybe the update changed things.

It seems unfair how much better volt's 1 skill is compared to nekros' 1. Although, I do really miss all the free corpse loot when I play as volt.

It is mainly from update 13. Prior to this, CTDs were very infrequent and the game was fairly stable. In the last few days after u13 I've had warframe ctd/lock up/black screen more than the last several months combined..

Without any efficiency mods I burned through my stack of energy hilariously quick with the Obex. Base channel cost + extremely fast attack rate = hahaha hope you didn't like having energy idiot

The Furax seems to have this weird problem where one or two of the basic four punch combo seems to have its attack hitbox hosed up. Like I'll be punching a dude and be consistently missing him every third or fourth attack and it was aggravating as hell.

I sold a Life Strike to a guy for 200 plat.

On the other hand, some idiot got it from transmutation a day before the Dark Sectors came out, and thus nobody knew how you'd get them-and he sold it for 20 plat. His rationale? "It sucks, because if you always play Rhino and Rhino skin all the time and play no other Warframes ever and also always use melee channeling for your damage it's wasteful".

It's become a running joke in the clan, wherein everyone who has a Life Strike occasionally says they'll trade "a useless mod called Life Strike" for things like "3 Slash Dashes".

They were very rare and valuable in the 2-3 days between the launch of update 13 and the deployment of the first Solar Rails to Dark Sectors (where the mods drop semicommonly as rewards). Before that transmutation was the only(?) way to get them.

So does Warrior's Grip just defray the stamina cost or do you actually recover stamina while blocking?

Male Man posted:

I don't have Warrior's Grip but I have been messing around with blocking and reflection.

From what I could tell, blocking a hit drains stamina depending on how hard you got hit (note that you can reflect an Arson Eximus' gigantic fire blast right back into his stupid face), holding block when nothing's hitting you will recover stamina slowly, and just standing without your sword up like a doof will recover faster. Not entirely unlike Dark Souls, actually.

So if you're doing a silly reflection build, you still want to be aware of your surroundings so you can step behind a corner and put your sword down every now and then.

Do the enemies in the rail conflict missions even drop mods? I did a few runs to see what they were like and the enemies don't seem to want to drop much of anything. The NPC Tenno thing is kinda cool I guess, but these missions really seem pointless.

Yes they drop things, went in there on my Loki and have been spending my time taking pics of all the enemies before leaving. The Tenno drop nothing but the bots do drop things. Only Have one of the bots finished, the fusion MOA drops Bleeding Willow the polearm rare stance.

Corrupted MOAs will drop it too. So really the only reason to bother with the solar rail poo poo is if you want to try and speed up being able to run the money making missions. Or just do the smart thing and go do T3 captures while others fix the problem.

I ran one yesterday, and the enemy npc team was all volts.

I was running rhino, and they casted their 1 at me, and it chained to the Vauban, Nekros and unstealthed Loki behind me. They did not fare well.

But I was fine.

We live by the sword.
I recently started this game up again. I had played a grand total of 1 hour from wayyy long ago, and figured I'd give it a second shot this weekend. I roped a fellow goon into it, and we played 20 hours over the next 2 days...

I started with Excalibur and am on the verge of hitting rank 30, so I'm on the hunt for a new frame. I already have all the parts for Oberon, and instead of confirming he was a logical next step, I just got drunk and decided to started building. I still need a control module, but I hear orokin void is a good place to farm those. I haven't had much luck with Europa. I was reading some mediocre reviews on Oberon. I also have Nyx's BPs. Would that be a significantly better choice or is Oberon not as meh as people seem to think?

btw, account name is TenNewt911. I applied for the goon clan. Happy hunting.

Oberon is not amazing at high levels but he'll probably be pretty fun and useful where you are. Just about anybody is good for a second warframe.

Let's be honest here, who wouldn't farm prime parts, even if it's just to work on a full set to trade off for plat?
