Oh my God, Mirage Prime is some of the most fun poo poo. Quick question before I put the work in for it: Hall of Malevolence is the cool and sexy augment for cool and sexy Mirages, right? Gonna wanna max out duration and get that number as high as possible? Second question, what does Sleight of Hand actually do? I cast it, there's a little ball, but the ball doesn't seem to do anything. The description makes it read like an aggro grabber that explodes when they touch it, but they never seem to notice or touch it.

So, I got Argon Scope from the Acolytes a bit back, but I haven't used it because I have no clue what it goes on, and all my weapons already shred dudes. Below are the rifles I use, which ones would goons recommend this mod on?quote:Amprex

But of those, I'd only bother lining up headshots with Baza, Dread, Tiberon and Vectis. Maybe Amprex on tough sorties.

Sorry everyone for the delay i went off & did other stuff after posting, and then the weekend ended. I'm USA East and I'll be on tonight. Bold items are still up for grabs. Everyone else I've got you written down. And for those of you wondering why i'm giving up seemingly meta weapon rivens I'm lazy and generally stick with a loadout. I prefer taking out the weird stuff when I'm helping region chat newbies... or whomever in non-endgame stuff. Atomos (5 Rolls) = Hobold - is this your IGN? Despair Drakgoon =Agymnon Furax Hind Jaw Sword = Hunhutterson...... Krohkur = TsurupettanSA Nami Solo = Chefbot Penta = Fauxbot Scindo = The_Government Twin Khomak I'll take junk rivens in return that i can transmute or 5-10 plat depending on how generous/broke you want to be. Edit: if someone has a Mios riven they dont' wan't i'd gladly take that too, as its my favorite Melee weapon.

argon scope is only good for selling to dimwitted pubbies. it's pretty good, but not uniquely so and there are better, vastly cheaper alternatives available. however, it features heavily in youtube and reddit builds so it is always in high demand.

Keep trying, I assure you it's worth whatever you endure  Did you know that the Synapse gets a bonus of 20% to all headshot damage? And that headshots (usually) do double damage on top of everything? And that crit-headshots get a further double damage bonus? And that with Argon Scope active this thing has a 150% crit chance? So when I keep this steady just above the shoulders, the weapon is calculating ((297.8+180.5) x (10 x 1.5) x 2 x 2 x 1.2) x 17.4 every second on everything in a straight line. I call it, "The Cold Equations" Oh, hey, a use for Argon Scope

Was thinking about my next zaw and was wondering (for zaws and all weapons generally): is a crit more desirable than status, all other things being equal? Or is there no real exact way to compare them?

It depends on the base stats of the weapon. Build for whichever the weapon supports.

Elissimpark posted:Was thinking about my next zaw and was wondering (for zaws and all weapons generally): is a crit more desirable than status, all other things being equal? Or is there no real exact way to compare them? From my experience, any enemy below lvl 80 can be destroyed in droves with crit build. Above that, status is better with Condition Overload since the damage ramps up as more hits and status effect registered on the enemy.

Status can be very useful against endgame grineer assuming the statuses in question are corrosive and viral. You can't have both of those on the same weapon. But what you can do is get a high fire rate, high status primary like Braton Prime, and use it to paint blast and corrosive all over a level 100 Nox or Bombard, until it's knocked over on the floor with no armour left and a few slash procs stacked up as well. Then you hit it with a Mewan status Zaw with Condition overload for a 60% damage bonus per status active on the target, Viral so that it halves the poor bastard's health, and probably heat so that it gives it another dot to go with the slash bleed as well as a possible panic incapacitation. Status builds absolutely murder the gently caress out of minibosses. It's the difference between debuffing and straight dps. When you get to the point in the game where you're just doing high plains bounties / sorties / ESO, stripping dat armour and health from enemies becomes a lot more important than raw damage numbers. BUT (and it's a nezha deluxe sized but), crit still absolutely has its place at endgame, and that place is mooks. No matter how much people theorycraft about armour reduction and viral's importance against minibosses, Warframe is still a game that loves to throw a LOT of mini enemies at you, and having a secondary that can pop crowds (especially on infested missions) is equally as important. There are also enemies where armour reduction is just impractical. On Eidolons, each of the synovia has its own armour value; and according to terrifyingly long mathposts, stripping too much of the armour actually leads to a net DPS loss because of how radiation damage bonuses work against alloy. Plus you don't really get enough time to build the debuff stacks, so a crit weapon is best there. A lot of bosses have resistances to certain statuses specifically to stop players from tearing them in half too fast, so all in all, there is no one good answer. It's situational and it depends on your build, and the content you're going for. Crit is also nice for abilities that work off raw damage - Inaros' 1 heals more based on your damage number, so a fast crit melee weapon is going to make you functionally invincible. My overall answer would be to build something with a Mewan head for viral / heat / condition overload, and something with a Cyath head for crit, if you're talking about Zaws. In general, try to have one crit weapon and one status weapon if you can.

If you search my posts in this thread you'll find a lot of math about damage multipliers. Your options at high levels are either to strip armor with corrosive, use Weeping Wounds on a purely IPS weapon that is heavy on slash in order stack bleed procs that ignore armor, or simply use Condition Overload and/or Blood Rush to build up an absurd damage multiplier. My favorite pure crit zaw is the Big loving Scythe with Exodia Hunt and Tempo Royale, as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSCGr5RNsZY Unfortunately it requires a rather pricey Exodia set to make it work. Next up is a status heavy Plague Zaw with 6x elements and Condition Overload. My favorite is the Plague Kripath polearm, but Melee 3.0 might shake things up and make staves, rapiers, and 1 handed scythes worth using. Take advantage of the event to buy multiples of each strike so you can play around with them. Finally, the BEST Zaw is the one you have a riven for. With a riven and a few lucky rolls you can build a hybrid crit/status Blood Rush/Condition Overload Zaw which will never be able to realize its full potential because absolutely nothing in the game or simulacrum will survive long enough for you to stack up all the available status effects. If you're on a budget, just slap Blood Rush, Weeping Wounds and Drifting Contact on something that does a lot of slash damage and then use Naramon to keep your combo multiplier up. That'll get you through 90% of the game's content. Avulsion fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Sep 25, 2018 |

Flytrap posted:Oh my God, Mirage Prime is some of the most fun poo poo. Hall of Malevolence is cool and good. You probably don't need to max out duration but having a lot of it is rather nice. Without looking I think I have around 200% duration and strength on my Mirage, with maybe a slight hit to efficiency and a bigger hit to range. Slight of hand is sort of underwhelming, I use it more often to convert corpus door lasers to being friendly traps than anything else. As far as directly effecting enemies that little jewel is suppose to attract dudes and then explode, either doing blast damage and knocking people down if placed in a light are or doing a radial blind when approached if placed in a dark area. It can also convert or booby trap a whole ton of different stuff, lots but not all turrets, lockers, zip lines, ammo health and energy drops, it can make explody barrels explode harder, stuff like that. This turns out to bot be very useful well hall of mirrors lets you throw three times the gun at things. Again I use it, rarely, as more of a convenience thing. You can cast it and shut down corpus cameras and make their laser gates friendly for a time. This tends to make things easier on the pubbies trailing behind me, I guess.
