I went from a Cronus to this and it was life changing.
Mostly because using a tiny little sword looked weird on my Rhino so I went looking for the biggest sword I could find, but you go from babby damage to real man damage instantly.
I've been working on getting a Gram, since a friend of mine told me it's one of the highest damage melee weapons you can get.
And it does look pretty sweet.
High melee damage. Yes.
Generally outperformed by the Galatine (especially now with the 120% slash mod). Also Yes.

My favorite melee weapon is the glaive prime, followed by the dual cleavers with the justice blades mod. One does great damage and lets me throw it and explode groups of things and looks badass, the other does high crit damage and procs blast damage, heals me 25%, and temporarily increases my armor by 25%
Been having a blast at this... got my Zephyr after a butt load of farming and Citizenkain/ken (sorry! forgot your full name) dragged my through a bunch of tower IV runs, also netted like 700k+ in credits which has helped *alot* in the weapon/frame building venture...
Glaive prime is my favourite melee weapon so far, just super all around fun.
As my next 'goal' i was thinking of building a Dera but they are very expensive... costing a forma and two fieldron, are they worth it?

The Dera isn't super killy, but it's a fun weapon. If you like high accuracy non-hitscan weapons like I do, go for it.
My Dual Ethers just finished so I've been trying them out. Basically ploughed through several missions using them alone, really liking them so far. It helps that I found a Dual Swords stance mod yesterday so that's been pretty cool.
I have everything I need for my Valkyr frame now, except the credits. Guess I'll just keep running through missions to try and get enough.

Do Alerts, if you can. Chances are you'll get a full group, and the Alerts typically reward extra credits.
So is there a group of people here that do T4 void runs a decent amount? I'd really like to get more defense and survivals for some of the missing frame pieces I need, mainly loki.
Almost had a group for t4 defense, but the guy hosting wanted corrosive projection on everyone, and the other 2 in the group were like "what's corrosive projection?" it's awesome when people don't read.

Dera's neat. it's definitely a pewpew gun, though not great for killing things, it gets the job done.
as for serration, I have a spare on me. let me know when you plan on being on next, and I'll pass it along
Also, aside from the mutagen samples/neural sensors, if anyone else is really bored and wouldn't mind helping me get the prints for Trinity and, would greatly appreciate it.
How much duration am I going to want to stuff on a Loki before Invis becomes fun? More or less than I've stuffed on my Nova? I think I put a Loki in the oven so Rescue missions would be less annoying. (I hate Rescue missions.)

Depends on what you want to do with him, I suppose. If you want permastealth Loki, just cram in as much duration as possible, with Energy Siphon and whatever efficiency you can manage as well.

That's what I was thinking, stealth with a rocket hammer, as I don't think ranged gets the damage bonus.
There's other things you can do with him? I thought the whole deal was permastealth?

There's the permastealth, yeah. But I honestly prefer his other main build, specializing in Radial Disarm, because it's arguably the strongest ability in the game. It mostly amounts to putting in Stretch, Overextended, Fleeting Expertise, and Streamline if you wanna get max efficiency if you don't have or don't want to use the submarine hat (though I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, thing's damn ugly, and has nothing on the Swindle helmet). Beyond that's personal preference. Here's my build for it to give an idea of what to shoot for.
Even with the duration hit from the maxed FE, I still get just under 12 seconds or so of invisibility (roughly 8 with regular Continuity instead of the primed version). And with the Irradiating Disarm augment, RD also acts as a spammable version of Nyx's Chaos, except it's arguably even better since enemies will be missing their guns, so they can't go back to shooting you when they're done beating the tar out of each other. Natural Talent reduces the lengthy cast animation, and even lets your invisibility act as a sort of escape tool, since Loki doesn't spend so long waving his arms around.
Man, I really need to grab an Overextended. My Nyx needs it too.
I'll have to try that too; I mostly have been after the stealth because I just HATE the whole warden thing, and these Rescue missions are between me and sticking an extractor on Saturn.
Well, that event was a lot harder than expected. Every attempt last night either failed quickly or bugged/lagged out at the end. I get on this morning and I had two smooth runs. It was an odd group with me as a Rhino, one Ember Prime, one Mesa, and one Ash. The Ash and I ran ahead and meleed the shit out of everything and drew their fire while the other two stayed with the rover. Since every time I closed with the nullys dropped my iron skin I made sure to stack armor, health and shields before the mission and it really seemed to help since I didn't go down once.
My group had some luck with a Nyx with max range bubbling on the rover after popping a shield flier from Cephalon Suda to keep its shields restored/rover moving. Then the 3 remaining just ran ahead and cleared. Nyx popped energy restore consumables when there was space to keep the bubble up and the team going. Sooo many nullifiers for just throwing weapons. Saw some heroic suicide runs for the good of the group.

Yeah, I eventually switched to a Nyx and it was trivial after that. I think I finished it 6 times total after helping clanmates and friends run it
If you need credits a good option is to run Seimeni on Ceres (leave at wave 5 checkpoint). Takes a few minutes (can take as little as 2-3 mins if you join a game that is already at wave 3 or 4) and you get a large chunk of credits. It's fairly popular so you can usually run it over and over. Because you only go to wave 5 it is also somewhat easier than the level range would suggest.
The tax is currently reasonable leaving you with 18k per run, but if the tax increases then this will no longer be as nice. The tax on Seimeni has been pretty low (or even zero) recently though.
I don't think I have access to Ceres yet, just got the 4 early planets. I think I just need to rank up a bit more first?
You unlock more locations by getting nav info from defeating bosses on prior locations.
At some point I need to stick to a frame and go through all the missions on a planet and go through them all. It's just so much fun doing all these other things though...
Looked up where to get mutagen samples, and wiki says derelicts and Eris. I don't believe I have access to that.
And Trinity stuff drops on Phobos, which I don't believe I have, either... ^^;

you can also get the full mutagen masses from infestations that list them as a battle pay (usually minimum 3 visits).
So apparently I've been killing metric tons of Grineer, 'coz last night I was marked for death by the Grustrag Three.
Which terrified me. I know most folks here think these things are no big deal, but I'm not most folks. /shrug
Anyway. Got into a defense on Helene, Saturn. One other player was with me. My screen starts to distort. I'm all "Well, great."
I only saw one of them. He spawned right next to the thing we're defending, facing it. All I heard was "I'm bored..." and the mission immediately failed.
Mind, I wasn't killed. Neither was the other player, IIRC. It's as if we failed because our defense target got destroyed.
And when I "respawned" on my ship, no communication about having that Grustrag Bolt on me. Even went right into another Helene with the same other player and won after 10 (or was it 15) rounds.
/confused
Do these marks go away? How?

You only get the bolt if they down you and slap the bolt on.
As for marks, yes they go away, not sure if it requires one or the other side to be defeated or just that they turn up. You can check on your active deathmarks by looking at your profile.
It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

Honestly you want to be marked. The assassins can drop some good loot, but you have to run the gauntlet of a double rng wall to get it (poor assassin spawn rate, poor loot drop rate).
Best to stay marked 24/7 to increase your odds of cashing in.
I wouldn't mind maybe if I were a bit more skilled and wasn't leveling up some MK1 weapons to toss away later.
I've looked and can't seem to find this info: If I just want to buy all the syndicate's starting sigils, do they all cost credits only? How much?
(reading the wiki) This is kinda confusing. It almost makes it sound like it's possible to rank up all the syndicates more or less together, though I'm pretty sure I won't have the patience to figure that out.
Do you only earn/lose standing with a syndicate if wearing one of their sigils?

I'm currently written off for two of them (at least first rank with the other four). I'll remedy that as soon as I have a decent buffer for the syndicates they're opposed to.

While it is possible to level multiple factions (more than 2), that doesn't mean that it's worth it to do so. It only costs credits to buy all the starting sigils, so go ahead and do it (something like 10k? I'm on PS4, so I have no idea). Then, even if you change your mind and want to progress with a different faction later on, you won't be locked out completely.
The lockouts for higher levels of the factions will include ridiculous things like potatoes and Prime parts (not to mention literally millions of credits), so you probably won't want to max out more than a couple of the factions anyway.

Very good point- I'd forgotten about the stuff required to progress to the next rank.
@Caulk Bite 6 Gave me a serration! i somehow feel less useless now... thanks again.
Was able to get two invasions done that offered Fieldron so i've got them sorted for the Dera! so just need a forma... now i'm going to hunt for some mutagen mass for a phage.
Honestly the potatoes/prime parts/credits aren't the big deal in the long run. You can master at least 4 factions with enough reputation points. The problem is the HUGE efficiency loss you take having to spend most of your reputation points playing damage control as you ever so slowly accumulate a profit for 4 factions. Considering how DE loves to ratchet up the grind levels these days, I don't think trying to master that many factions is viable.
I think the only sane ways to work with the syndicates are to:
*Level up a syndicate and its ally (ex: Red veil/Steel Merridian)
*Level up allied syndicates and common neutral third party (EX: Suda/Arbiters + Steel Merridian or Perrin/Loka + Red Veil)
*Level up two syndicates that have neutral feelings towards one another (EX: New loka and Arbiters of Hexis).
That way your work only ever adds to your reputation total. At worst, you lose out on potential freebie reputation from allied gains.
Ask around in clan chat/this thread/or even trade chat to get the rewards from the syndicates that are hostile to you. Odds are that someone can work out a trade.
