I know, that was the point. Why do some people like Oberon again? Health restore? Hallowed ground needs a huge buff and I have never seen any enemy actually confused by smite.

Also, Rhino is building, should I do Valkyr, Frost, or Banshee next?

He's a goat. In Space. Who is also an anime ninja.

Being cool is 95% more important than effectiveness in this game, because 95% of the content isn't that hard.

Is Nightmare alert still a thing? I went on a Nightmare alert yesterday and couldn't figure what were the Nightmare penalties since we all had our shields, energy, health and normal gravity and enemies weren't very high level.

Now and then a nightmare alert will just randomly roll for no penalties whatsoever.

Edit: did everybody have that planet completely cleared? I think if one or more people don't, it goes for the standard mission.

I can buy either Primed Reach or Sands of Inaros for the Inaros Warframe from Baro what's his face on PS4.

Should I bother with Inaros? He seems kinda difficult to use although I do have Rage already which works perfectly with him.

Inaros is perhaps the most incredibly easy warframe to use, really. Vitality and Vigor for health, Steel Fiber and Armored Agility for armour, Rage, then whatever the hell you want. In missions, just set up his 4 and then blind dudes with 1 to melee finisher them. (Each one restores 20% of Inaros' max health.) Inaros will work especially well with a Covert Lethality dagger for this reason.

3 is decent crowd control, 2 is a good way to eat one big enemy. It even works on stuff like Bursas.

Primed Reach is also good poo poo though, and you can buy Inaros next fortnight if you can't farm up enough this time around.

Buy Primed Reach now and Sands of Inaros next time. Inaros quest is a vonstant in Baro's wares. PReach, if maxed, is fantastic on most weapons. Frankly, all of my go-to melee has PReach because I absolutely despise pressing attack and not hit enemies/boxes.

Pox don't seem too different from the torrid but I'm not 100% sure.

A weapon that leaves a gas cloud right?

Yeah i've always been a big supporter of torrid formaed up and saryn because you just use molt and launch gas at it and keep sporing or just shoot on into a crowd and watch them slowly melt.

Actually it might be worse because
"Unlike the Torid, sacs explode on impact and do not stick to surfaces." Torid is nasty when it hits, like the thing will probably die, but the AOE can be launched just in front of an oncoming crowd. Give it a shot.

The simoltor is likely still best though due to its raw damage.

Yeah, Pox is super good, on anyone, but especially on Saryn. Only downside that I've seen is that it needs +max ammo or pistol mutation mods, like severely.

Here's mine. There are some people that prefer running argon scope instead of bladed rounds, but I tend to use this more of an anti-crowd weapon, and it still does fucktons of damage on headshots if you aim a little high. If you somehow have neither of those mods, hammer shot will work well.

Train in the dojo's obstacle course. Read up on parkour 2.0 if you don't grok it on your own. These tests are basically designed to check if you actually ever learned how to play the game.

Also make sure you're running at least at 60 fps at all times, with vsync off. (ingame frame limiter is ok)

These tests are super trivial for the most part if you have a rough idea of what you're doing and aren't playing on a potato.

Also practice the tests in Simaris' den.

I don't know which part in particular you have problems with, but have you considered running the test as Zephyr? Her slower falling speed might help you correct mistakes and one of her powers (1, IIRC) allows for additional fast mobility in a pinch.

(Or maybe Titania can just fly through everything now, not sure of that, though.)

Very strong indicator that you're simply not good enough with the movement system yet and need to learn how to get around quickly and accurately. That might be an occasional occurence, but should not be a "normally" at this point anymore.

Edit: Rule of thumb: If you spend more time walking/running than butt-scooting/sliding/bullet-jumping, then you're being a LOT slower than you could be.

no its a lot more that those platforms are loving unforgiving and you don't need movement so precise in ANY other part of the game AND they reduced the time from when people could use loki to cheese it. Sliding too much can fail the exam pretty easy because some of the platforms have no room for overshooting.

This is one of the few times get good scrub doesn't work when nothing else in the game is like "lol do this precision test with no forgiveness what so ever and 1 try and falling takes up half the time you started with. (12 seconds)

Take it in parts, use something like the hek and practice it in the relays.

Unlike all other tests, (most being a joke, like 12 which gives you 3 loving tries) this one gives you one shot and falls are basically a "well better luck next time".

Shoot all the orbs, use a lot of bullet jumping, dont double jump unless its to correct yourself.

The platforms aren't super easy to see either.

Just keep in mind the mastery you build even after you fail keeps stacking even if you fail the test, so I literally had the test for 12 the next day and beat it in 1 try.

I disagree entirely, except for the "game doesn't require precision" part. (Yeah, it doesn't require, but it sure helps for not being half the level behind everyone at all times.)

As long as your machine has at least 60 FPS, and you don't have anything inhibiting your input latency (vsync, lovely mouse, problems with your hands) it is fairly easy to quickly learn the minimum skills needed to make it through this test. You don't need to cheese this in any way, and it's quite forgiving in giving you plenty of things to shoot to get extra time.

Just to demonstrate, two videos of a rhino doing the test (no armored agility or rush, this is with the 0.95 speed multiplier) and the mk1 braton, and ending up with lots of spare time. I don't think i'm doing any kind of high precision pro level gameplay there and gently caress around a good bit instead.
