I am not feeling the Corinth Prime. Or at least the airburst mode. The forced manual detonation is just not a happy thing.
The Corinth Prime is even better at crushing high level elites. It will one shot high level captains and you can do it 20 times before reloading with a faster ROF. It's a beast.
Yeah... But that airburst, man. The primary fire's fine, not saying anything there, but the airburst just hurts. Can't even detonate the last one on a full clip, because you immediately go into the reload animation. Bring back the automatic detonation, and it'd be great.
oh god they ruined the corinth's perfect automatic-timed grenade burst with the prime version? boooo!
Yep. No automatic detonation, hit secondary fire again to blow it up. Still fizzles if it hits something, etc, so god help you if someone runs in front of you, since you'll tap to fire (bonk) then tap to detonate (bonk) and blow 8 ammo.
And if you hit it with 4 ammo left in the tank, it'll fire (it's 4 ammo per grenade now), but immediately go into the reload animation, and the shell will probably just bonk off something way over there since it's a 3s reload.

tbh I prefer the versatility but I wish that the detonation was regular fire instead of pushing alt fire again.
From what I understand, Wukong and Excalibur Umbra are ace.
I've been trying to get a Duality Equinox to work, though, and it's painful how much the AI limits your options. Anything less than 100% accuracy has a good chance of whiffing. I've watched the Duality clone miss opticor shots from 10 meters away - for its entire duration. Shooting the floor, shooting the sky - against stationary targets in the simulacrum. But bows seem to be fine? It's weird AF.
It can also be beast melee - at least until someone shoots at it. Once it starts being shot at, it'll freeze in place doing the blocking animation.
Mostly I just give it either an Ignis Wraith, Gaze kitgun, or like, the Twin Kohmak - because accuracy doesn't matter when you're putting thousands of bullets downrange anyway.

I don't think you want them to look at that... Currently (or last I checked anyway), your clones don't have to reload. At all.
umbra's not really smart, per se, he just uses radial howl sometimes and has perfect aim like all specters do. I don't remember if he actually uses your weapons as they're modded or just blank versions though.
I just did a railjack mission where the one other player who joined immediately ditched my ship to go through the enemy bases while I was stuck fending off multiple crewships. Immediately following that, I was going through my avionics when I noticed that at some point I had acquired Form Up. I was giggling as I read the description, this thing is going to be so useful.
Had an Intermission Challenge to do Orb Vallis bounties and decided "oh, I still haven't ranked up to Hand with Little Duck, might as well grind some Atmos."
It is still bewildering to me that Phase 1 of Orb-Taker is a 3-part bounty with a single reward from its 9-item table, unlike... every other multipart bounty on Orb Vallis.
Shit design is shit design. And considering I'm on console, the workflow for either Open World location is tedious, as those load times are real.
Additionally, variation in the grind is welcome, and the Profit-Taker bounties also happen to be a relatively direct source of the new relics (as Radiants), which are spread amongst the bounties.
DE kneejerk removed Venari's ability to heal defense objectives and claimed it was an exploit, despite "hey your venari can heal defense objectives!" being a literal hint/tip in the game.
So, yeah. Backlash deserved. Change reversed. Patch coming down the line that will allow more warframe abilities to heal defense objectives.
I genuinely wonder what the Hell the thought process was for the initial change, though. I guess someone must have honestly forgot it was an intended feature, because otherwise all it would have done is push more people towards a lockdown meta, and suddenly OOPS, ALL LIMBOS again.
I guess I just assumed all healing abilities already worked on defense targets. I'm pretty sure Harrow's Penance does. The invulnerability phase from his Covenant does not however. Would be nice if it did!
I can see the reasoning. Healing abilities in this game tend to be really powerful, and they don't want to have to choose between having defense targets be effectively invulnerable if you have a healer or having them be made of tissue paper if you don't.

And in Sortie Defense, which is supposed to be the most challenging variation many players will regularly engage in, they let you straight-up revive the defense target. Quickly, instantly, or even at a distance, depending on loadouts. To my knowledge, there’s no limit on how many times, either. Though I hear that each time, he’s a little less himself and more of a wight.
So there’s another reason objective healing was a weird thing for them to single out.

Well it's been like a year since I played, but apparently that's not enough to stop me from deciding that now's as good a time as any to figure out how to calculate hunter munitions DPS.

TBH, I like the "Defend a person" more than the normal defense modes. Especially if you give him max fire rate explosive prime hikous

This will be fun, since both viral procs and corrosive procs now affect the damage of each individual slash, as well as crit (inclusive of headshot multiplier) of the initial shot. Oh, and heat.
You uh, may wish to discount changes in armor and just work with a flat armor value on the target. Unless you're that bored.
Wait, corrosive damage affects it? Aren't slash procs true damage? I thought they ignored armor.
Not anymore! Status effects have all gone through some beefy-ass changes; that's why Viral is now basically king, and double-king when combined with Slash.
Edit: This also coincided with some rather drastic changes to the armor/hp scaling curve on mobs.
Slash procs ignore armor, so corrosive still does nothing for slash procs (but does improve regular slash damage since removing armor is good for slash)
Viral though amplifies all damage to health (first proc = +100% damage, and each proc stacked on top of that increases it by +25% up to a total of +325%) so viral massively amplifies slash procs.

Okay, some digging later, this is correct; it doesn't bypass SHIELDS now. Fair enough.
The addition of shield gating did odd things to Grendel's durability. His tiny shield pool means that shield gating is pretty much always available to him as long as he isn't under continuous fire.

I thought it was being fucking terrible at math, and balancing stuff. Or explaining things to the player.
Er, among their chief weaknesses ... wait, I'll come in again.
weird, I have a gun that isn't taking up a weapon slot or showing up in my inventory screen at all but I definitely have it. It's Zenith, that weird rifle what shoots through walls.

I believe that's because you can't sell or trade Weapons/Mods acquired via Log-In Reward Milestones.
I got Limbo, but I don't get Limbo. I played with him for a bit but he seems really gimmicky and I'm having a hard time imagining a general purpose build for him.
I also got Hydroid, and Hydroid is fun. Turning into a puddle and eating people is great.
Anyways, is there a good guide or video series for "here's how to play this particular frame"? I need one for Limbo and probably Mag. I'm not a smart person so my favorite frame so far has been Rhino, who is idiot-proof.

For frame guides, you can look for iFlynn on Youtube. He has guides for all (if not all) the frames and he updates when new frames come out. However, I find that he can sometimes be inconsistent with whether or not the particular guide is new-player focused or not.
I've found that just messing around with a particular frame for any length of time has given me better insight into how they work. Most of the frames I've leveled all the way have been fun and I can see use case scenarios where some frames would work in some circumstances. In either case, I've played with the frames I've leveled because if I can get a better understanding of how they work then I can alter my 'support' playstyle to make sure the team is successful.
Fun part about getting a new Warframe is getting Nidus-infected and going to the bio room and remembering 'oh right, they STILL haven't done ANYTHING with this.'

Been getting back into the swing of Tenno things the last week or so on Xbox. Got Corinth Prime in the oven and am just lacking a system's BP before I can get to baking a prime pixie of death.
After that I may finally get round to making some Liches and harvest some Kuva weapons.

Hey, there is a 7-day resource and 7-day resource drop-chance booster on the Twitch. Also, Switch Tenno should be getting the latest update soon since it's in cert. Only around ~300+ MBs ... I can't remember the amount. I don't do good with these new content islands since I play them for about an hour or a day at most then go do other stuff even if I was having fun with the new stuff. I have a serious problem.
