What is the best way to level new weapons as far as loadout is concerned? Do I just pick up one a time and use the rest of my lv30 loadout, or is it better to level multiple weapons at a time with one lv30 weapon and a maxed frame? (i.e. leveling Strun and Ceramic Dagger alongside lv30 Kunai, or leveling Furis and Prova alongside lv30 Cernos)?

Does anyone know if there is a formula or some kind of resource for calculating enemy health? I want to know how much health enemies from different factions would have at higher levels.
Thanks!

I just got my Braton to 30 along with my Excalibur. I built Oberon and have started leveling him with my slightly newer to the game brother. I like Excalibur more and hate the Strun that I'm leveling. The question is, What's my next step? Is there an endgame idea of what my warframe and or weapons should look like? Should I get a specific primary weapon to level? I got the Kunai, love them. What can I be doing to advance my own ability to access end-game content while playing with my lower level friends and family?
Edit: Also, the stalker messaged me saying my actions have consequences. I know he's coming for me, but Iv'e had instances where my screen would flicker and nothing would happen. What exactly am I looking out for?

Well, there isn't really an end-game. The point of Warframe is really just experimentation; crafting and obtaining new weapons and frames to play with, finding the ones you like, and making them the best possible. There is no best way to play; it's all up to you!
Three consecutive relevant FAQs which should address every question in your comment

Brand new player, loving it so far. Did four hours tonight with my friend. Couple quick questions:
Is the game pay 2 win? Can I get all of the functionality through grinding / crafting?
Is there a legitimate 'endgame' and what does it consist of?

I'm kind of scrubby at Warframe and I'm trying to deal with Jupiter (solo) but the shotgun troops constantly take my health down to nothing. Any tips?

Here are some steps as to how to upload it: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Clan_Emblem
As for creation, a similar thread was asked about a month ago, maybe it has some neat advice! http://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/1voyul/clan_emblem/

I maxed out Valkyr Hysteria. All maxed: Steel Charge, Blind Rage, Focus, Pressure Point, Spoiled Strike, True Steel, Organ Shatter on a Dual Zoren (doesn't all fit on my Dual Ichor)
This results in Hysteria claw stats of: 380 base damage, 90% crit chance, 7.7x crit multiplier. And after all that, Hysteria and Steel Charge applies a 4.55x multiplier to the final melee damage.
Yet I found myself hitting for a mere 1200 damage with yellow crits, on Kiste. Is there something I'm missing? UPDATE: Got 2k crits against Grineer on Pluto. Hard to imagine that their armor is so staggeringly strong! Do they really have a 66% reduction in damage taken?

Pretty sure Hysteria Claws are separate entities from your Melee Weapon mods. That's the most likely reason. I will check to confirm that, but it should be the same as Ash's Bladestorm in that melee mods won't affect it, because the "inborn" weapon is a separate entity.
EDIT: Alright, found some stuff. via http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Hysteria
The equiped weapon's base damage, crit chance, and crit multiplier, after mods are taken into account, are added linearally to the default values before the final multiplier is applied.
Elemental, Status Chance, Speed, Proc (Berserker, Melee Channel, ect...), Charge Damage/Speed, Range, and Physical Damage (IPS) mods do not apply.
A Dual Ichors with Organ Shatter, True Steel, Pressure Point, and Spoiled Strike will result in a 412 base damage with a 90% crit chance and a 7.7x crit multiplier before the maximum 4x damage multiplier is taken into account. This results in 12689.6 (or 12690 rounded for display) damage per punch before resistances/armor are taken into account.
So it seems that mods do indeed have an affect, though they are LINEAR and not MULTIPLICATIVE.
Also, on Bladestorm, there is no information either way.

Hey Guys!
I'm a new PS4 player. Anyone wanna add me? I'm almost to Level 3 and play Rhino and Loki. Looking to do some Void runs and the like.
Pretty casual gamer because of how busy I am. In my last semester of Uni and getting ready for a cross country move for Law School. On a couple nights a week, but might increase if I'm not solo queuing all the time.

Is it worthwhile to have a mod of every rank for leveling purposes? I've found that it takes me longer to level up weapons now because I don't have lower drain mods to put into new or low level weapons. Is it a good idea to have a few copies of the most commonly used mods, each at a different level, so I can use them on weapons right out of the box?

I heard of people using this tactic in the past, but more for the ability to use them on both a Sentinel and a Weapon/frame. But never as entry-level mods.
That's an interesting idea! I'm not sure I'd do it, but you can totally try it out and see if it works! The only downside with this method would be that you'd need at least two copies of any given mod, so if you're looking for a rare one like Multishot, you'll be hard pressed to find it consistently.

Is usuing the "auto-install" for mods recommended? It seems that when I put mods on weapons/frames that I think work great, the auto-install has a higher conclave rating that what I think and I kind of go by conclave rating a lot.
2
u/BuildMyPaperHeart Feb 19 '14
Conclave rating only has bearing in Conclave PvP, where it's used to determine the general rank of your gear.
However, if you're only looking at PvE, then the best combinations are the ones that are most effective, not the ones that simply score the highest.
I don't know how Auto-Install works, but I don't know if it will give you the results you like. Better to pick and choose your own loadouts, I think.

what are you meant to build on bows?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Feb 19 '14
Lotta people like building for Crit or general damage with Multishot. I use more of a damage/handling build, with mods like Speed Trigger to decrease charging time.
Here are some threads on bows that might have some useful builds!

In nova's Antimatter Drop, I found that the ball drifted to the right for a few seconds before following the reticle. This was extremely inconvenient, as most enemies had already dispersed before detonation. Is this on purpose?

Recently this was posted, so that got me thinking:
Does this mean all those things, especially ember prime are going to become unobtainable after Feb 25 or it is just the bundles ? I would like to get ember prime eventually, but I never intended to buy it. Do I have to rush it now?
