"[DE posted:Rebecca"]We wanted to clarify that the Steel Path modifiers shown on the Test build during Thursday’s Home Time broadcast were incorrect in a practical sense due to a UI inconsistency. The tooltip stated “Enemy Health +250%”, and the same for Armor and Shields. In reality, the ‘+’ should not be there; enemy Health, Armor and Shields are multiplied by 250%, not added onto. Stated in other terms, the modifier could read “Enemy Health +150%”.

An umbra with an Para-moa, deploying a moa eximus, can AFK a surprising amount of content for you. Enemies spend their whole time in one of the CC states, and because they're all based on movement and ragdolling it's hilarious. Efficient? No. But you can stick it in lith defence missions whilst you catch up on emails. e:  Sandy prime is now officially announced. Khablam fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jul 7, 2020 |

Inaros' best ability is pocket sand and boring both you and your enemies to death. They really need to, like, make his kit not a total loving chore to use. His 2 takes ages, his 3 slows you to a crawl AND ragdolls poo poo AWAY FROM YOU, and his 4 is basically only used at the start of a mission. The upside is that he's a great frame when you're being lazy and just want to not die.

I'm assuming Inaros stealing Nezha's place on the prime production line means that they've got some kit work coming out with Inaros Prime. Otherwise it's just a giant middle finger from DE to me, personally.  It's a giant middle finger directed to me regardless, but I would appreciate if there was some payoff for it.

I've attempted Parvos Granum five times now, let me skip to the goddamn void already without slogging through the solar system's most annoying assassination.  Here, have tether mines and perpetually-respawning enemies that hit like trucks. And we only gave the target three voice lines, I hope you like them. I actually got her down to her second health bar this last time. Then my face became incredibly attractive to lasers. I feel like the problem is in my defenses. Should I be prioritizing health, armor, or shields? Because currently I'm doing third-measures of all three and it's not working too well. e: and maybe my elemental setup, I'm packing Viral on Boltor and Xoris, Radiation on the exploding Hikou.

It depends heavily on what frame you're playing. "All of them at once" is almost never correct, though, you want to specialize.

gently caress it, I'm not beating Protea this week. Or next week. Or loving ever, because if I ever got all the parts and built the goddamn thing, I couldn't use it because this loving fight is giving me a goddamn aneurysm and I'm not gonna be able to loving LOOK at Protea without getting angry. Yes, I'm exaggerating. Don't post angry, kids. E: Specific problems I am having: The goddamn eyebeams will not give me a moment's peace unless I sprint halfway across the map. Because I need to keep moving so much, I can't keep my crosshair on Protea long enough to exhaust her shield, much less do any significant damage to her life bar. Something in this mess of flaming piss keeps making me stagger, which again, detrimental to bullets-on-target. Speaking of flaming piss, her drone fire in the third health bar has exactly the right sound harmonics and visuals to make me instinctively feel like I should be in a different county from it immediately. If I close in and try to deal with her hand-to-hand, the frisbee I'm being forced to use does jack poo poo to her and she shreds me like tissue paper. And on top of all this, there's either a hidden timer on the fight or she gets an instant-kill attack that looks exactly like all the other eyebeams, because I swear twice now I've gone from full health to mission failure when a laser grazed my ankle.

It honestly sounds to me that your mods aren’t ranked up sufficiently, you haven’t built enough damage or survivability. Are you in clan so people can give you a pack of mods and run you through how to build?

Yeah, I've gotten a pack of mods, including fully-leveled basic damage mods, which are equipped. Redirection is at rank 9, which gives Mag upwards of 1000 shield, which one would think would be good enough for anyone. But one would be wrong. I further tweaked my Taxon for shield boosting, but it dies in a heartbeat, if it's even still alive once I get into the void. E: In that list of grievance above, I failed to mention that Protea teleports out of Magnetize and away from flechette mines.

Dareon posted:Yeah, I've gotten a pack of mods, including fully-leveled basic damage mods, which are equipped. If you want to re-try it, and I don't recommend it because frustration is the enemy of fun, the pointer you're probably missing is that the spectres scale, hard and fast. When you knock them into the spectral form, the solid form ones will absorb them and level up. You can use the Xoris to consume the spectral form and stop this. If you're just letting them die, you'll notice some of them fly into the 200+ level range very easily. A good way to cheese any mission with huge incoming damage is two-fold: - use an Ancient Healer Spectre. You can buy these at the first rank in New Loka. If you're negative to New Loka, killing a new loka death squad (a pack of said healers sent to kill you) may drop their BP. These are amazing crutches as they give you a flat 90% damage reduction. - shield gating. Make sure you always have some shields to negate damage. There are lots of ways to get some shields back quickly. Molecular Conversion on Taxon will hit enemies and recharge you. So just dance about like a Speaking of spectres in general, if you have a frame with a strong heal, make a spectre of it. They're niche-to-useless late game, but when you're in early missions/boss fights where you're still able to fail them, their heal spam is very useful. All in all, this quest leads to nothing except Protea, a frame that doesn't really shine until you have a great mod set, so coming back to it later will give you some sanity back.

They're niche-to-useless late game, but when you're in early missions/boss fights where you're still able to fail them, their heal spam is very useful. I'm going to have to speak out in support of specters. They're quite good just different as they don't use mods and instead scale with enemy level/the level difficulty. If you have a decent amount of random blueprints, making a ton of one or 2 star specters is one of the best things you can do to really laze through slog missions. A good guide to their ai behaviors Weapon wise, its a bit more complicated. Basically their weapons are unmoddable, and will also use unmodded base crits/status and damage type. However, when set to Hold Position they don't seem to reload. They also get a pass on damage/range falloff. I've heard Acceltra is a great choice, and shedu makes a great turret. I get good mileage out of Exergis. Semi-auto's can be good, as they spam them at near max rate of fire. More detail in some of the links below. I think there's good potential for a loot assistant/multiplying specter due to how cold damage interacts with loot drops https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Damage/Cold_Damage . I'd guess the Glaxion/Glaxion vandal is the best bet for that, but maybe the quellor too. Here's a few useful things I/my play group's discovered: Trinity + ancient healer specter can make defense targets basically unkillable. Healer has damage aura, trinity spams blessing. This works in arbitrations extremely well. Also, energy vampire. Nidus: He keeps the parasitic link up nearly constantly, so having him out is basically free 28% power strength. I use him playing speed nova so I have the ability to turn speed nova neutral mid-mission if it gets hairy/long. Gara: Her glass wall scales a lot, and is way tougher than you think it is. Wisp will throw down motes for you. Wisp: Places mote reservoirs which stay, and so anyone can get moderate buffs. Definitely need to tell her to hold and stay put so they end up in one spot tho. Octavia: Mallets stay up nearly all the time. Some other good reading https://old.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/80fxba/best_specter_loadout/ https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1017897-best-specter-loadouts/ If you ever want to update your specters, all you have to do is manufacture a new one and it will change your entire stockpile. Overall, I think that specters have more power to ease the grind/frustration the sooner you dig into them. They're great. Distilling extractors will even pay for the plastid costs.
