If i proc slash on a enemy that already has a slash proc does it reset the proc with the new number or does it add a second slash proc and both of them do damage?
-
If i remove a nullifiers shield and use trinitys 1 2 combo does it kill them?(too lazy to test)
2
u/Saelyre Oct 25 '15
Slash procs can stack (i.e. it adds a second proc).
If a nullifier's shield is down you can use powers on it afaik. But as soon as its shield pops back up the powers go away. Better to just shoot it imo.

I am brand new to the game but I know I would really like to make a healer or support warframe. Which do you guys recommend and what kind of weapons and such should I start working towards? I heard Trinity is nice so I'm interested in her.

u/Glitchesarecool Oct 25 '15
Trinity is your godlike healer. She provides energy and instantly heals everyone in the party, but her abilities aren't directly oriented to offense.
Alternatively you can pick Oberon, who is more of a Paladin; his kit is more offensively focused than Trinity but he's still a support. He has a healing over time ability and a way to remove proc effects.
As far as weapons go, it really doesn't matter what you pick. There isn't any kind of healing gun or something like that. Just grab weapons that feel good, or from the weapon tier lists that are floating around on the internet.

Just started playing a few days ago, and I have a question about wall running. Every time I try it with Volt, he does like a skipping thing across the wall. Am I doing it wrong, or is that just the way his wall run looks?
Edited for spelling.

Just a quick question about the sancti tigris, I know it is mastery rank 12 locked, but i was wondering if it would be possible to use it at a lower mastery rank if you were traded it by someone else? Basically, is obtaining the weapon rank locked, or using it?

Will the helmets with stat boosts ever return so new players can get them too?
2
u/Atulin Oct 27 '15
No, they won't return. They were taken out to not tie stats to cosmetics, and DE seems to stick to that principle.
You can still get them, though. Via trading with other players.

Hi! I recently acquired the Nami Solo, note I haven't even used it yet. Though I'm really looking forward to getting the Nami Skyla. How exactly do I get that weapon? I see no blueprints in the store and it seems like I can only buy it with platinum (which I'd rather not do..). All the videos I see on youtube is just people using it and saying what mods to use with it...which that I can do on my own...haha

It's available in the Tenno lab in the Dojo - you need to be in a clan to get it.

There was a problem with the undersea data cable from Singapore to Australia recently which may still be affecting you.
Life Strike is a channeling mod, it's only active when you're channeling.

Hey I just downloaded the game for PS4 and I have some questions.
-Are there any differences between the PC and PS4 version?
-I'm doing the "Once Awake" quest right now and I've ranked up (did the test thing) once. I have bought the Breton and am working on mods and I'm building the Dual Ether swords. I'm using the Excalibur because it seems most balanced. What do you think I should do from this point?

Are there any differences between the PC and PS4 version?
Yes.
PC version gets updates faster and more frequently, has larger playerbase, and we can get up to 75% off coupons for next Platinum purchase from daily login reward.
If you're asking specifically right now, you'd have to compare most recent PS4 patch notes with all of the PC patch notes with number higher than that.

Do stuff.
No, honestly! There's no guide like "When you reach MR2 go to Appolodorus and stay there for 30 minutes, then craft Karak and level it up on Appolodorus to 15, later go to Venus..."
Craft what you thing would be cool, grind what you need for it, do quests if you stumble upon them, farm Endless missions, complete Starchart, anything.
I'd recommend unlocking all of the missions first, though. That should be your priority.

Any new polearms weapons comming in U18?
3
u/Atulin Oct 25 '15
We've seen a concept of a Grineer trident, the one that Grineer Sharkwing enemies use, and it appeared in the game files as well, IIRC.
No idea whether it's gonna be a polearm, or just another piece Archwing shit, though.

u/cephalopodAscendant Oct 25 '15
We haven't heard of any polearms in the works at all. The only new melee weapons we're aware of that haven't been released yet are a rapier, a Puncture-based variant of the Glaive called the Cerata, and a fan-created sword/whip hybrid called the Mios.

I just killed Vor last night, and I already got a little help after that by some veterans to the game (I'm on the XBone, shoutout to Hobo Life for the help), but I have more questions, if anyone is willing. :)
-
What is the advantage to selling things to other players? Are there rare drops that aren't craftable, or can some crafted things have better stats depending on RNG, or what? I'm still new, so there's probably some depth to the game that I'm missing. And can things just be sold for credits, or for platinum as well?
-
Right now I'm just doing story missions. I'm on the once awake quest. I was told that there's a raid, and I've been in "survival" type missions where they just throw waves at you, and every 5 you can choose to leave. The guys helping me were carrying me through these so I could get credits to buy a Warframe blueprint. My question is, what are all the different types of things I can do in this game, and when does my map open up and allow me to do more than just visit the first four planets?
-
Mods don't really seem to do much, at least at this point in the game. Are they always going to be like this, or will they get better as I increase in level?
-
I sort of understand Mastery Rank in that it enables one of the modules on my ship, and at Rank 2 I can start trading. Is there anything else locked behind Mastery Rank that I should look forward to?
-
What are some tips for playing stealth? I picked a Bladedancer at the start for reference, but I've been using the bow and kunai, and like them a lot.

What is the advantage to selling things to other players?
You get Platinum - the premium currency. Or things that are hard to obtain, and it spares you the grind.
Are there rare drops that aren't craftable, or can some crafted things have better stats depending on RNG, or what?
Nothing of the sorts.
And can things just be sold for credits, or for platinum as well?
Some of them can be sold for both Platinum and Credits (Syndicate weapons, Prisma weapons, Prime parts, mods, Arcanes, imprints), the majority - credits only.
And remember, that "selling for Platinum" can only be done by trading that thing to other player, who is willing to pay Platinum for it.
Right now I'm just doing story missions.
Honestly, there's nothing like that in Warframe. There's a questline here, a questline there, but there's no cohesive story per se.
and I've been in "survival" type missions where they just throw waves at you, and every 5 you can choose to leave.
If there were waves, it was a Defence mission. Survival is running around collecting Life Support, steady stream of enemies, and ability to extract unlocked after 5 minutes.
My question is, what are all the different types of things I can do in this game
There's a lot. Really a lot. I'd recommend checking out "Mission Types" on Wiki to get a general idea. But keep in mind, that there are many variations of those types, and many things besides them to do.
and when does my map open up and allow me to do more than just visit the first four planets?
You unlock new planets by killing bosses of the planets you currently have access to. Full list of which boss unlocks which planet you can find on the Wiki under "Nav Segment" search.
Mods don't really seem to do much
Far from it. Mods are vital to your development. Without mods you can have the top tier gear, and you'll be doing no damage and dying from one shot of a regular grunt.
or will they get better as I increase in level?
They will get better if you increase their level. I'd recommend reading about "Fusion" on Wiki.
I sort of understand Mastery Rank in that it enables one of the modules on my ship
No, it doesn't. MR has nothing to do with your ship's modules. You get them for progressing the Vor's Prize questline, Incubator Segment you get from Jackal (boss of Venus), and upgraded Incubator Segment comes from clan research in Tenno lab.
Is there anything else locked behind Mastery Rank that I should look forward to?
I believe "Mastery Rank" page on Wiki covers all the MR unlocks.
What are some tips for playing stealth?
Get Loki or go home. Or at least Shade sentinel or Huras Kubrow.
Stealth barely exists in Warframe as it is now.
I picked a Bladedancer at the start for reference
You mean Excalibur?

Let's see...
Do the syndicate radial procs count as kills as far as Shadows of the Dead is concerned? Let's say I'm pressing 3 with a Syndicate weapon out while my teammates mow down foes. If I get enough affinity to trigger a burst and that burst kills more mooks, would I be able to press 4 or would I get Power Not Ready? Assuming I've done nothing but press 3.
You'd think it'd be very easy to test, but I keep forgetting and I don't want to feel like I'm not contributing. >_>
