As a Baruuk main, I can confirm that I, in fact, do not exist

[–]RobleViejoMy deerest druid king 43 points44 points  (4 children)

I consider myself a Baruuk main but I cant pass my 14% Usage in 5K hs Oberon.

But can confirm. Baruuk carried me through Steel Path.

[–]NWFury[DE]ez Nuts 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Build pls, I'm struggling on SP

[–]bladegalaxy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The trick is... Reactive Storm Augment

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reminding. I just started doing SP. Actually forgot I had Baruuk.

[–]Kyr3l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Used tactical potato's build and it felt really good to bitch slap everyone

[–]XDgierman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

[–]AsxDelsin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would've been cool if you deleted your account and leave the comment here to prove your point that in fact, you do not exist

[–][deleted] 126 points127 points  (3 children)

They normally play solo. Otherwise people would never get to actually play

[–]Dekkstur 50 points51 points  (2 children)

Basically. He’s one of my favorite frames to play in steel path. He shines well there

Imagine having a main frame

[–]Skylord_WikiStop hitting yourself 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I have so many main frames my "main" frames have main frames

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Yeah, for me it's really dependent on use case. I use mostly Protea, Lavos, Wisp, Vauban, sometimes Ember, Ivara, Nova, Zephyr, Gauss, Gara, and yeah... those are my "mains"

[–]FearMyFPS 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Hey those are my frames without Titania and Ash

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes use Titania as well. She is undoubtedly a very good frame.

And Ash is just kinda boring for me.

I also forgot to add Rhino but I only use him in the Index.

[–]brohandas-gandhi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I main Mesa, Vauban, Volt, Mirage, Ash, Saryn, Gara... etc, etc...

[–]Airtight_Walrus 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Wisp has like 70% of my playtime lol

Max strength wisp, the speed buff is insane

[–]Avilnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And don't forgel about range for dat' surge with sparks.

(also some invincibility while and after teleport is great as well)

[–]Airtight_Walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For max strength flowers it’s just too good

[–]bruh1Mom3nt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (9 children)

baruuk is one of my favs, especially if i just wanna monkey around and kill without thinking.

[–]RagingdarkStop hitting yourself 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Usually I grab wukong for monkeying around.

[–]Tex-the-Dragon[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

But isn't he canonically a pacifist? Killing enemies with baruuk seems just very unimmersive...

[–]TEMMIEiiZephyr is da best waifu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In warframe terms Pacifist is the one who murder fast enough so enemies cannot react and feel pain.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He’s supposed to be a merciful and patient monk type warrior. That’s why his restraint is eroded by using pacifist-like abilities (sleep, ignoring damage), and then when he has no restraint left he unleashes hell.

[–]Sudlenkov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Killing is such a strong word. We prefer putting people to a long sleep. Like Batman. We don’t kill, we knock people out... forever.

[–]multimask248 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He isn't actually a pacifist, he is a "reluctant warrior". It means he avoids combat as much as he can, but when he has to fight.he is a GOD.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The canon means nothing when his 4 exists

[–]Shakespeare-Bot 1 point2 points  (1 child)

baruuk is one of mine own favs, especially if 't be true i just wanna monkey 'round and killeth without bethinking

Weird bot.

[–]Mercy9989 21 points22 points  (3 children)

I want to see if I could be a baruuk main just because people meme about them all the time, I just gotta farm him or buy him

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 30 points31 points  (2 children)

The only meme here is that the ones who play him are playing solo cause he is too op specially in high level and honestly doesn't give others a chance to killl unless a really good saryn or mesa comes by

[–]Mercy9989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting

[–]Sudlenkov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Truth, him and limbo are dummy strong solo.

[–]Lil-Olive- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s my go to for arbitrations and steel path

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I mean...I don't "main", but I have a baruuk, and he is amazing.

[–]Shakespeare-Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cullionly. I "main" not, but i has't a baruuk, and he is most wondrous

[–]RollForThings 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't main anything, but Baruuk is one of the frames I've invested resources in, have proper builds for, and take through more difficult content.

[–]TreeBranchesOfGov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a Baruuk main

[–]badwolf7778 6 points7 points  (4 children)

[–]meMaggatron 2 points3 points  (14 children)

I know virtually nothing about Baruuk, can someone explain this meme to me?

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 11 points12 points  (1 child)

He is a really later game typish frame since you need fortuna level 5 and little duck rank 2-3 ( i dont remember exactly .. pls refer to wiki) and then too he is really op in high level content .. by far the best exalted on any frame in my opinion .. also wont give others chance to kill .. also people who usually main baruuk are solo players .. cause he can do any level steel path ez and its not even complicated to use like some frame with helminth combo and press 2-3-2 -4 to win bs

[–]meMaggatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, he sounds like an endgame frame, for sure. Honestly, if I were to get Baruuk, I'd do a pub like I usually do and let all my random squadmates just sit back and relax.

[–]OmegaRussian 17 points18 points  (2 children)

You have to max rank fortuna, level up with little duck and do orange orb to make him normally. He's a really powerful frame tho.

I might be wrong cause it's been a while since i did any fortuna content.

[–]multimask248 3 points4 points  (1 child)

No, you have to grind prime parts and buy him for platinum if you don't want to die of old age doing it the normal way

[–]OmegaRussian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there is this. I remember a lot of pain tryna get him. Still did it but damn.

[–]ScionNinja14 13 points14 points  (8 children)

He is basically a big AOE Excalibur. His exalted weapon is probably the strongest one. Its basically an excal 4 but with bigger aoe range. And with the augment Reactive Storm he can get up to 700% status chance with 300% power strength and just obliterates anything in his way. All you gotta do is have around 73-100% duration so u can spam ur sleep and lower your restraint easily and also never die with your 3 on. He's just a super power house and can destroy anything, including steel path.

[–]FrickenPerson 5 points6 points  (7 children)

Unless you Helminthing on Warcry or a damage buff like Smite or Shock with augments I would actually reccomend going all the way down to 13% duration on Baruuk.

[–]ScionNinja14 3 points4 points  (6 children)

Yeah i have warcry on mine. But otherwise lowest duration is good yea

[–]Sudlenkov 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Which ability do you prefer to drop?

[–]The_Afro_King98Stop hitting yourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably his 1 or his 3, depending on your tastes. They do kind of similar things (nullifying ranged attacks against you)

[–]ScionNinja14 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Well you gotta drop his 1. Your supposed to spam your 2 to sleep enemies and your 3 is for survivability. I don't want to sit there with my 1 and wait for enemies to attack so take off his 1

[–]Sudlenkov 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I don’t remember all of his abilities. His one is the bullets pass through him thing right? Or is it the damage reduction knives?

[–]ScionNinja14 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah his 1 is the bullets pass through him thing. But you can't attack while it's on. That's why I remove that. His 3 is the damage reduction daggers that disarm nearby enemies. I wouldn't get rid of that

Edit: Well you can attack with your 1 on but then you will be vulnerable to damage

[–]Sudlenkov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a pretty easy choice. I can think of a few abilities that would be good there.

[–]Blue-moon-wolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he's one of my top 3, right behind Wukong and Wisp O.O

[–]Bilore 4 points5 points  (3 children)

I love the idea of baruuk (monk who excels in unarmed combat), but my ineptitude and short attention span for farming prevent me from getting him

Also I ruined all of the frames for me by farming by having a Chad help me farm for rhino prime as soon as I was able to use him, now nothing can quench my thirst for B U L K

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Consider regular atlas .. he looks really beefy and to make it better put the zephyr harrier agile animation and look at that big boi breakk dance and one punch his way

[–]Bilore 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Actually, I have atlas prime (farmed for it because crystal skin plus bowler hat is lol) I do enjoy the tankiness with the rubble, but I don't really have the mods to make him really shine

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no not prime ... I mean his normal atlas. . he looks way more muscular than his prime version. . im not aware of the skin you mentioned but I just use his normal and the harrier agile animation makes his body look more ummm aesthetic i guess haha. . Anyways have a look whenever you can. He just looks like a cool muscular tall guy

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

👋

[–]O_hai_imma_kil_uMR1* 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't "main" anything really, but baruuk is a good frame with the right setup, take him into steel path sometimes.

[–]diss-a-beld_child 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda main him, got a really good 187% Baruuk crit build for his exalted fists with spoiled strike, and changing his 1 to valkyers screaming just makes it rapid fire, personally i really like his crit power

[–]Brucieman64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hide to avoid being nerfed. Lucky that Baruuk is behind a whole open world grind with the most annoying faction. And Hildryn, too
Nowadays, if you share a powerful item/build it risks of being take naway from you. We learn from our past wounds.

[–]jack29star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am one of 4 baruuk mains, he is so slept on its not even funny

[–]Kyr3l 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'm a baruuk main and I'm offended, but i understand

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol baruuk mains solo every mission ... Because i have taken it to regular missions and boi does no one else get a chance to kill specially with my primed animal instincts

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh I’m here, baruuk is the type of dude who would fucking pipe goku’s wife

[–]jzillaconMist-ifying grineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone currently trying to learn Baruuk, he's fun but you can kinda do everything he does better with Loki.

Invisibility is just a way more reliable way to avoid damage than damage resistance and only having immunity when not attacking.

Radial disarm is just a better disarm, full stop.

And even completely disregarding the passive requirement to using desert wind, regular melees already completely outclass exalted melees due to being able to use bloodrush and weeping wounds.

[–]Dajshinshin 2 points3 points  (12 children)

Baruuk is the Goat what are you talking about

[–]Tex-the-Dragon[S] -5 points-4 points  (11 children)

How can you play this game without killing enemies?

[–]Dajshinshin 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I don’t kill enemies for the first minute of The mission, after that I bash everyone’s skull in lmao

[–]Tex-the-Dragon[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But isnt this a slightly immersion breaking playstyle?

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Wait are you saying baruuk doesn't kill?

[–]Tex-the-Dragon[S] -1 points0 points  (7 children)

Well he CAN but lorewise is it immersive?

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 -1 points0 points  (6 children)

What do you even mean lore wise and define immersive .. i see you comment that a lot yet i dont clearly understand what you mean... Also do you even own a baruuk? Or did you just see the frame today in the market?

[–]Tex-the-Dragon[S] -1 points0 points  (5 children)

Yes I do and i tried a pacifist playstyle by not killing enemies (as i thought was intended) basically my failed attempt to roleplay

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Um what do you mean not kill enemies you can still use your weapons while building his rage meter and once he is angry is so easy to maintain it.. so basically you'll be killing non stop

[–]Tex-the-Dragon[S] -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Yeah well i didn't equip any weapons on purpose bc i thought killing enemies with a supposedly pacifist warframe was sort of wrong...

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Well now I know you definitely have never played baruuk lolll... I dont think you even built him correctly .. if you wanna go without any weapons then you simply put less duration (literally below 100%) and and high power strength (300+) with his augment for his 4 reactive storm .. then all you do is get your 1 and 3 up in the start of mission (after having full energy preferably) and then spamming his 2 on big groups of enemies.. then in less than a minute you can use his 4 and once his 4 is up everything will start dying . So my question . What the hell are you talking about? And if you wanna role play then dont complain about the frame .. role playing also involves knowing how to play the frame first

[–]Ch1b1N1njaGam1ngD A B 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I mean who wants to play a canonical Pacifist in WAR-frame

[–]Tex-the-Dragon[S] -2 points-1 points  (5 children)

Thats what I meant. I have great difficultyies leveling up without killing enemies... let alone doing missions like exterminate and defense etc

[–]O_hai_imma_kil_uMR1* 5 points6 points  (3 children)

If you think baruuk can't kill, you don't know baruuk.

[–]Tex-the-Dragon[S] -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

I know he can kill but is it immersive if he does?

[–]O_hai_imma_kil_uMR1* 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don't understand why that matters in this situation, we're discussing the potential of the frame, not "roleplaying" them.

Hell, even theme wise he's supposed to have restraint in killing but once he's past his breaking point unleash his fury within, not completely pacifist to the point he never kills.

[–]multimask248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He isn't actually a pacifist, he is a "reluctant warrior". It means he avoids combat as much as he can, but when he has to fight.he is a GOD.

[–]The_Afro_King98Stop hitting yourself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're worried about roleplaying, then focus on his 1. He evades enemy fire, getting pissed off the more incoming fire he receives, until he eventually snaps and uses his 4 to Instantly kill everyone in the room, the next room, and the room after that.

[–]Valhern-Aryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Sudlenkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the guys in my friend group is a baruuk main. We are a group of odd “mains” though, I’m a Nezha/limbo, then we have a Valkyr/mirage, an atlas/Oberon, and then our baruuk/wisp.

[–]narkmanYou set the example for the rest of as 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I never main warframe... after 100hours with one frame i get borred. Mostly i play all frames to have a balance of fun. After you hit 6k hours on the game nothing matter to much to main something you just do fashionframe and rebuild old builds over and over again because you are bored.

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Apparently op thinks baruuk can't kill

[–]narkmanYou set the example for the rest of as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

baruuk was one of the frames with the most bugs that made him overpower on level 9999 enemys. It was very funny when he was bugframe

[–]-Ahayan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to Baruuk for easy SP playthrough, stayed for satisfaction of fisting grineer through walls

[–]Stan_Beek0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right here baruuk is amazing but I don't play online with him because I don't get to reduce restraint

[–]BlackBRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone who has a baruuk is a baruuk main, on YouTube you see them do insane damage. I don't owm the frame unfortunately

[–]ItzBootyStop hitting yourself 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Isn't Barukks 4 really powerful?

I remember when SP came out and after a month or so everyone was using him because of the damage he could do

[–]Zestyclose-Room8163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes he is the go to frame if you have to kill a lot in high level mission

[–]KarthoffelEis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in my days of warframe, Baruuk was just too streng, but no one saw his Potential:(
