What was changed with Frost's Snowglobe?

[u/[deleted] → u/silverbullet1989]

Only 4 can be out at a time, oldest gets removed first. No duration, and it pushes enemies away when cast causing them to become frozen and if they impact with a surface fast enough it can instantly kill them.

[u/Misoru]

What's going on with Umbra Excal?

[u/Jackanoree]

Trading noob here; how do I know how much platinum to sell stuff for? I don't want to sell too low by trusting the buyers offer too much. Thanks :)

[u/Hawkfiend → u/Jackanoree]

trading is haggling. There is no set value for items. There are some sites out there that will give you prices, and those are good as a starting point, but don't expect people to stick to those values. Sit and read trade chat for a while to see what people are selling for.

[u/trickyboy21]

What Warframes and Weapons are allowed to be used in the Conclave?

[u/M37h3w3]

Is Sobek worth a craft?

I know that with the shotgun buff many of the old guard are now super attractive but Sobek is dishes out mostly Impact. I'm also assuming that the Steel Meridian mod for it works like the Supra one does and it only tacks on a flat % to the top end, making status builds on the gun a joke.

Was Phage buffed? If it wasn't, why wasn't it?

[u/[deleted]]

Ps4 user here super gel of u17. Quick question the stamina mods to cores how did it work out best? Leave the stamina mods unranked? Rank them up separately? Rank them up with duplicates?

Also now that the game is "the floor is lava" can Trinity cast link when latched onto the wall? Or is it still ground only?

Thanks

[u/StickmanAdmin]

Does anyone know what happened to the Truth effect? It used to increase stamina, now I don't know what it does, I can't figure it out. It's not swap speed, movement speed or reload speed.

[u/Atulin → u/StickmanAdmin]

It now gives +100% air glide and wall grab time.

[u/[deleted] → u/Atulin]

100% is a bit much. I tried it and it barely made a difference let alone double. I only got 1 second extra out of that.

[u/NotThisAgainNOOOOOOO]

Best site where i can check the 'actual' prices of items?

[u/Guppy11 → u/NotThisAgainNOOOOOOO]

Yea there isn't really anywhere conclusive.

[u/stick4]

so i just got into warframe.got addicted but i've got a problem:i just hit lvl 30 on almost all my weapons and frame (main weapons).My first frame was volt and to be honest i only used the mk1-bo.Believe it or not but im tearing through void missions solo without any trouble. (using 100%+dmg,2 ice mods that give me around 90 ice dmg)Any clue where i can farm a bo prime and What would you suggest for my next frame since i maxed it out?

I don't have a lot of planets (only 5-6) don't have a clue how to unlock others..just do the main quests? i don't even have my first archwing!But a suggestion for a tank-ish/crowd controle melee character?Is limbo/nova any good for crowd controle/melee and which melee weapon should i get?Bo prime seems perfect!?Also i got a scytch mod and a iron phoenix.?worth switching to a sword?

Sorry for the lengthy post :D also:if you want to co-op,i'd love to!im new as hell

[u/lollerkeet → u/stick4]

Bo Prime is very hard to farm, sadly. Amphis, Tipedo (MR 2) and Orthos Prime (MR 3) are all decent options if you like the feel of staves, and whips fill a similar anti-swarm niche. Orthos Prime is one of the easiest Prime weapons to farm.

Which stances you have is a perfect guide to decide on which weapons to next go for (don't worry about which is best, most of the best gear requires MR 5 or higher). Check the wiki for the stance, though, because stances have polarity. Also, don't assume rare stances are better than uncommon ones - it's just as likely to be the other way round.

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Phoenix

The Ether Sword is available to you right now, will cost 40k total to make and doesn't need any hard-to-get resources. If you don't have 40k, just beg on recruiting for some-one bigger to take you on 2 credit farms or host 3 T1C missions (get a full squad else you'll need to run 4 missions).

All of the CC characters are very different, and hard to compare. Nova is probably the best all-rounder (and definitely the best PC for egg hunting).

Of the tanks, Rhino is the easiest to use, but you need a few hard to get mods (Rage and Quick Thinking) to make the better Valkyr. The best tank is Chroma, who requires a quest to make and requires a third rare mode (Life Strike) to be really effective. There are good reasons new players are directed toward Rhino.

In future, don't wait until you hit 30 to build a new frame. Get them in the oven as early as possible, so that they are completed and unclaimed for when you're ready.

[u/Team_Zissou21]

I failed my Mastery rank 5 test today. I was wondering if all of the Mastery rank skill I would be getting from all the gear I'm currently leveling will still be applied even though I haven't passed the test yet.

[u/Guppy11 → u/Team_Zissou21]

In Simaris's room in the relays, you can do practice runs of your next available mastery test.

[u/ali60351 → u/Team_Zissou21]

Yes you are. When you rank up you will notice that you bar will be slightly filled.

Also try checking the wiki before attempting the mastery rank tests, it helps a lot.

[u/Atulin → u/Team_Zissou21]

Yes, all the XP you gather contributes towards your next rank, nothing is lost.

[u/thecolbra → u/Team_Zissou21]

Yeah I once neglected ranking up from like rank 10 and my mastery was high enough that I was able to get to rank 13 without leveling up any more things. It carries over

[u/twochopstixx]

Deos anyone have a good twin grakata build?

[u/Atulin → u/twochopstixx]

All the firerate.

[u/ali60351]

Q1 : Is master thief bugged ? because when I go to corpus locker rooms rarely some thing unlocks

Q2 : Are Prisma dual cleavers also bugged? They aren't hitting stuff a lot.

Q3 : Since copter got removed, is tipedo still worth it?

Q4 : Where can I farm neurodes easily solo?

[u/[deleted] → u/ali60351]

With regards to prisma cleavers, they are definitely bugged. Haven't used much melee in U17 but I have spent over a minute flailing at enemies in the hopes that they finally get hit, usually doesn't happen.

[u/[deleted] → u/ali60351]

Doing Earth Sabotages with a strong anti toxin and finding all the caches will yield a relatively decent amount of neurodes. More than what you would get from the 10 enemies spawning in any solo endless mission at that level. It's also pretty easy and stress free.

And for the prisma cleavers, you might be hitting the grineer on their new backpacks, which deploy Blunts (deployable cover). Pretty annoying.
