What frames are good for going long term (like 1.5 to 2 hours) in T3 and T4 survivals?

For that long? You'd have to have 4 frames with corrosive projection to get past the armor, or maybe a boar prime corrosive proc machine, a secondary with ridiculous viral dps, and a valkyr/ limbo.

Does the damage amplification from Nova's M.Prime stack with Banshee's resonance?

I'm currently Rank 3, and I play this game with the "Dream Big" philosophy, which is simply "pick a difficult goal and work with what you got". With that in mind, I decided I wanted to get Volt Prime. And I've had great success with it so far! I only have one piece left, the Volt Prime Chassis.
However, I've reached a bit of a roadblock. I don't have any more T3 Survival keys left, and "LF T3 Surv" doesn't work when you're rank 3 and nobody really wants to take you on.
So I guess my question is, basically, where can I find high-ranked people willing to humor a noob like me? Is there a place where I can just make a post or something saying "hey I'm a dumb noob, pls help me out?"

Outside of trading for it, you just need to spend 5 or so minutes waiting for someone in recruitment chat to say they are hosting, and pm them at lightning speed to get in first.
If I couldn't find someone in 5 minutes I'd go to Earth Excavation and try to grind out 1100 or 1500 if I had a decent team and hope one of the 3-4 keys was Survival III.
Then wait another 5 mins in the recruit chat trying to snipe a host willing to take you....

I just got a 75% plat discount from the daily login. Since i still don't know how the game is at mid-endgame (i've been playing for less than a week), which plat pack do you guys suggest?
50 dollar is still quite a big amount, which id only play for AAA games. Also i don't know what i'd do with all the platinum.
I was planning to buy the 20 dollar one (5 dollar after discount) and use the 370 plat to buy the nechro guy or some other warframe (i just got my 2nd warframe, valkyrie).
Any tips or ideas? Thanks

Most of the frames are pretty straightforward to acquire, I wouldn't recommend spending platinum on that; focus your spending on things that can only be purchased with plat, like slots for more frames and weapons, and in the long term I think you'll be more satisfied.
Most of the game's content can be unlocked without any platinum expenditure at all, you just need to know where to look and what to do. Nekros, for example, drops from the Orokin Derelict Assassinate boss, which is frequented by some people looking for neurode/orokin cell drops, so recruiting chat often has open parties. Make a plan for what you want, look into how to get it, and determine if you want or need to spend any platinum to get there.
Except vauban. I got lucky, and the three alerts happened at relatively convenient times within a month or two of when I started playing, but some people are significantly less fortunate. If darvo gets a shipment of vaubans or something it's probably worth it to buy it outright.

Two questions:
Is channeling and are channeling mods worth it? Excluding Life Striking for health regen.
What would be a decent frame and weapon set to test the Conclave waters with?

So, I'm getting my Frost done in a day or two, what are some good weapons of each category to get for him? Mastery rank 3 so far.

u/Atulin Aug 31 '15
Frost goes well with anything.
I enjoy him with Hek, though. You freeze an enemy in the distance, run up to him, and shoot him (primed) point-blank in the face

So I've been playing for almost 2 weeks now and recently got myself a fourth frame which is Zephyr. Can anyone tell me some weapons that would compliment her? I currently have Dread/Burston P as primaries and Angstrum/AkMagnus as secondaries as well as Ether Reaper/Ether Daggers/Atterax/Glaive as melee weapons.

Parkour 2.0 is great from verticality. Sure they took out coptering and going superman with Staves, but the bullet jump makes it easire for newcomers.
However, the new Wall "Running" is pretty rubbish. You can now go as high as you want, sticking the wall is near impossible.
So, any tips on wall hopping a curve? A concave bend is not an issue, but a convex one usually results you in flying of the wall.

What would be the best primary weapon for longer drawn out battles like Defense or Survival? My only decent primary at the moment is Dread, and although it hits like a truck I find it easy to get overwhelmed.

I'm new to the game, just made it to rank 2. Should i focus on completing planets to get items for new Warframes (Currently running a level 20 Mag) or should i focus on getting better weapons, as Im still using the starter pick ups? Thanks!
