    Except that a Trinity invincibility build is nowhere near as powerful on the offense, nor does she have a loot buffing power.

    Honestly, you're being a bit of a silly goose with the Nekron hate.

    I honestly could give two shits about "best," after a certain amount of playtime you're loaded up on mods so pretty much everything is trivial anyway.

    I prefer fun, and I just wanted to share a fun, also useful build.

    Yeah but frames with some sort of built in way to get health back or can afford to drop a certain set of make the combo work that much better since those two mods take up valuable room. A frame that can really go all in on being durable is much better to pull that trick with rather than to shove it onto a frame that can't really take advantage of it. Rhino would be a fantastic candidate since you don't need to slot shield mods on him, for instance.

    I have neither of those, but Quick Thinking would be hilarious on Trinity since the only time she can die is during the cast animation for Blessing anyway.

    Rage might be less useful since that's also the only time she takes damage.

    I think Imma jump on and go hunting for Quick Thinking and Rage for my Nekros so I can give that build a whirl.

    I'd be up for roflstomping some T1 survivals to farm quick thinking and the other new mods

  • TOGSolidTOGSolid Drunk sailor Seattle, WashingtonRegistered User regular
    Quick Thinking only drops from Corrupted guys so I'll probably jump into an Orokin Defense for that one. Rage is from Napalm dudes though so Imma go park my ass in a regular ole defense mission.

    I don't know why I potatoed my mag but now I have to actually think about what I want to do with her.


    Would it be wise to constantly buy weapons, max them, and sell them back to level up?

    Bought the highland broadsword, will build it after I fund it, after I fund and start my volt. Way too many golem runs to get the systems but I finally did it, although I did build an extra chassis :oops:

  • SkutSkutSkutSkut Registered User regular
    Level up crap ass weapon, sell it for room, buy another repeat is hwat I've been doing but now i have a lot of frames to level up so I don't need to do that and can play without having to rely on pubs/other people to do any damage.

  • FiendishrabbitFiendishrabbit Registered User regular
    If you still need to level up a new frame is by far the fastest method (yielding triple experience). You'll accumulate a fair amount too if you have 2+ weapons levelling. 3 would be faster, but IMHO you need a quality fallback option for when stuff hits the fan. That means either a good primary or a good secondary. I suppose a well upgraded Glaive could work as well.

    After selling over 200 mods, I have a volt and a galatine in the pipes. Uninstalling until they're finished.

  • TOGSolidTOGSolid Drunk sailor Seattle, WashingtonRegistered User regular
    Ok, so running a Nekros in a Survival mission might just be the most god damn hilarious thing I've done in Warframe so far. You have ALL the life support ever and the massive amount of mobs means tons and tons of Desecrate spam. I racked up more mods than I knew what to do with today. I didn't get rage but at least TNT finally got his Flow mod!

    Oh yeah, where did all my credits go? :-s

    No matter though! I got my first Corrupted mod: Fleeting Expertise. Went and maxed it. +60% power efficiency, -60% power duration. So that's fun.

    Oddly enough most of the corrupted mods seem pretty bad. Or niche. Well, except Fleeting Expertise which is just sploitable in so many ways.

    Can you use them in Conclave matches? Because with C1 on everything (so far) means that there has to be lots of ways to exploit that, even in the cases where the normal mod is more slot/power efficient.

    Narrow Minded could also be bananas on certain frames, like Loki.

    And there are plenty of powers that use range but don't really necessarily need power strength, like Chaos, Radial Disarm, and M Prime (Power Strength feels mostly wasted on Nova to me anyway because only Antimatter Drop's tiny base damage is affected by power strength, and M Prime is just whatever, it'll still kill most primed enemies with the explosion and even if it doesn't it's a full minute of slow+double damage)

    I don't really think I would use any of the weapon ones, however. Except maybe Heavy Calibur, depending on what they do regarding weapons that have no innate recoil.

    It has some hilarious effects on Snow Globe. Teamed up with a guy that was in the process of customizing his for defense and Raptor fights. I'm not sure, but it seems like the slow effect of Snow Globe is unaffected by stretch, so when you shrink the globe it starts to slow outside the invulnerability barrier.

    Does the early part of the game have some difficulty walls or am I just getting unlucky spawns? Normally I get a decent party and missions go fine. Sometimes solo goes just easy, other times horribly bad. I was trying to do one of the later earth hostage escort missions against greneer missions yesterday and used up 2 revives in short order. Multiple commanders warping me into chaingun guns, who themselves were behind every door it seemed.

    Then someone else joined and we were dying left and right, again to commanders and shotgunners. Almost got to evac and the hostage died somehow.

    Yeah, the early game is pretty harsh, until you get some better weapons and (most of all) mods. The best thing to do is probably to always run in online mode. Having teammates increases your chances of survival by a lot!

    I wouldn't call them walls. But I dunno. Sometimes you're good and sometimes you're just unlucky and get tougher runs.
    Especially if you get bogged down. If the resistance is tough, try to break through. Because if they pin you down, it's 50/50 wether they'll just stop coming or if the heavy artillery starts to appear (and I mean multiple Bombards, Heavy Gunners and Commanders on freaking Mercury).

    But if you can't beat the crap out of heavy gunners and commanders (multiple of them) when you reach Late Earth? Then you need better gear before you proceed. Mk-1 Braton doesn't last you beyond Venus, and even the regular Braton feels underpowered beyond Earth unless you're packing the good mods.
    You'll get some free Cronus blueprints off the Mercury boss, and that's a fair melee weapon. You can buy a braton pretty cheaply. Getting a Vasto sidearm is also a good idea, as the Vasto will last you until beyond Saturn (with a heavily kitted No Return mod and some other goodies).

    P.S: If you're running solo, avoid hostage. He's a headache you don't need. Sabotage, Capture, Exterminate, Spy (if you have a good sidearm. Preferably with a No Return mod), Deception (again, god sidearm). Those are the preferred solo missions. Hostage is workable if you KNOW you'll be able to handle everything they can throw at you. Survival is also possible, but generally somewhat tougher than Hostage due to the timer. Mobile and Endless defense are best left to team situations unless you're a Warframe God.

    Orokin void. Void key missions are the only places where I consistently find Grineer Napalms. Otherwise it's super random in my experience.

    Do you mean Corrupted Heavy Gunners? Because I don't think there are any Grineer in the Void period, let alone Napalms.

    Grineer Survivals on Saturn or Sedna also spawn plenty of them on higher tiers.

    No. I mean Grineer Napalmers. Every time I run an orokin void mission that isn't Defense or Survival I end up fighting big grineer in red armor that shoots flaming poop at me. Which to me looks, sounds and acts like they're Grineer Napalm troopers.

    I always run in online mode but sometimes the roadmap i'm on has nobody else joining so i start solo.

    Still using the Skana and starting pistol, i've got the blueprint from the mercury boss but the mats don't drop till jupiter. Haven't seen the blueprint for a melee upgrade yet and i've run the first 2 bosses about 5 times each. I've got the regular branton and used a reactor on my Excalibur so its full of mods.

    Could be just my bad luck. But I've done maybe 10 or 20 such missions (although yes, they used the derelict tileset) and each time I faced hefty amounts of grineer fighting infesteds and everything spiced up with cutting lasers and elecrified floors and stuff.

    Now Void defense missions. Much more predictable.

    Second use for Nekros found: Turns out Survival missions are fucking fantastic for leveling weapons and frames when you can slug it out for extended periods of time with infinite buckets of ammo.

  • FiendishrabbitFiendishrabbit Registered User regular
    Which weapon? Because the whole "slug it out forever without running out of ammo" can be done with several types of weapons.

    If it's a Hek, Sobek, Vasto, Lex or Kunai? Not impressive.
    Soma, Gorgon, Braton or one of the autopistols? Impressive.

    Nova don't even need weapons to do that, 4, 1, rooms cleared up until about 15 minutes in Void 2 survival.

    Also void survival seems bugged or some shit and no actual void rewards until the fifteen minute mark, I think. I haven't got to 15 minutes yet.
