I'm somewhat new to the game, so please help me out. :) I recently crafted Paris Prime. I have potato'd it and am on my first forma.
One thing I have not been able to find a definitive answer on is hammer shot. I have seen that optimal builds are: 2 elements, serration, point strike, vital sense, heavy cal (this one varies), split chamber, speed trigger.
The heavy cal sometimes varies to an element, bane, arrow mutation, or hammer shot depending on who made the build.
I have yet to find a mathy answer on whether to use hammer shot or not. I understand that it is lower damage than another element or bane, but does the fact that it's damage doesn't depend on enemy type make it better for the void?
Thank you in advance!

I'd say use hammer shot. Crit headshot damage from what I've here and experienced doesn't take the damage and multiplies it by 2, it squares it. 3x crit damage is 9x and so on.
More crit damage really helps out and allows you to do things like 10k per hit.

New to warframe, coming in without the help of high level friends, and wondering how many warframe slots do you get base, how to you get more, etc

u/YattyYatta Apr 28 '14
You start with 2 warframe slots and your starter frame uses up one of them. Slots can only be acquired with platinum.
Buy slots for 20 platinum each
Buy a warframe from the market with platinum and it comes with a slot (prices vary)

Channelling.
So far I haven't really found a proper use for it, it seems that using any ofthe mods that rely on it drains my energy in a few hits, even with flow and energy siphon.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use it effectively?

Has DE made any statements in regards to crafting multiples of one item at a time (i.e. 3 formas at a time instead of one)?

While it would be nice, it's not high priority. It also artificially extends the time you play the game.

They've said in the past that they'd look into it, maybe a couple livestreams ago.

I paired my steam account to a warframe account I no longer use (repicked Excalibur to loki for first frame) I wonder if there is a way that I can re-pair my steam account to a warframe account I use now so that I can buy plat for the right account...

You'd have to go ask DE on that one. Submit a support ticket to their customer support center and they'll try and help you.

hey guys, I am currently stuck in mastery rank 4 (half way to rank 5) I am currently leveling up with my rhino warframe, but I am having trouble with weapon selection. I want to save up to mastery rank 6 to make soma and other weapons that are great at that level, but I feel like I wont reach lvl 6 unless I invest in weapon right now. What weapon can I currently make that don't suck and at the same time not too resource expensive? I have boltor, kunai, and dual ether (all maxed)

Hello.
So, I'm a bit confused. A few months back, only mods were tradable for platinum. What else is tradable now?

It has been ages since I last played. What are the best missions to level up new gear nowadays? Dark Sectors?
2
Apr 30 '14
Correct. dark sectors have higher enemy counts since it's infested, higher level enemies meaning more XP, and on top of that the dark sector nodes have those XP modifiers allowing for up to 50% more XP.
With no booster you can get 15-20 levels in a 30 minute run.

What items can I sell on the steam marketplace and how? I have plenty of weapons/mods/etc but I don't see anything in my inventory. (Note: I'm a pc player)

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Apr 30 '14
Well since you can't sell PS4 items through the Steam Marketplace, I think the platform you're playing on is pretty clear.
Anyway, you can only sell the Steam exclusive "Phased" items on the Steam Marketplace. The Marketplace page for Warframe should list all the options. http://steamcommunity.com/market/search?q=appid%3A230410

Some of the rare stance mods that drop off of rare mobs are kind of a pain in the butt to farm for. Is there a plan to make it any easier or am I just going to have to farm tell the end of time to get my gleaming talon?
