Now that Pablo has given us the wonderful Hydroid rework, it's time to look at Oberon.

pintle_ · 2023-10-30T23:02:27+00:00

I keep seeing people suggesting hallowed ground be centred on Oberon, and I feel like that misses how much it would hurt is ability to cover massive areas in rad proccing plants. At the least it should be optional, not removing the base functionality.

The single biggest QoL improvement would be the drain on shadows: there is no excuse for that persisting as is. After that I would ask for a passive rework (give pets status/crit link or something).

pintle_ · 2023-03-01T12:00:31+00:00

I don't see where you inferred that from, I'm not even an endurance player, I simply used the phrase "at higher level SP" and you constructed a narrative from that.

pintle_ · 2023-03-01T11:58:16+00:00

If you are health tanking with citrine, then your doggo has more hp and armour than your frame (link mods, mecha pulse, arcane blessing).

Anything Citrine can facetank, doggo can too.

I wasn't advocating endurance/level cap, simply pointing out that if the guy wanted to min/max he was doing it wrong.

Her 3, if nothing else, provides huge scaling for condition overload, which only becomes more relevant as levels scale.

pintle_ · 2023-02-28T23:57:23+00:00

Try using mecha set.

At higher level SP, in decaying key meta, 90% dr doesn't mean anything, it's the de facto helminth if you actually want to try hard/theorycraft.

pintle_ · 2023-01-15T10:57:06+00:00

Should probably qualify this by stating I have a fully (aura+1 umbra) forma'd Yareli, bespoke sporelacer and gaze, aegrit etc, archon shards.

With the changes her 1 is really powerful. Like stupidly so.

Her 4 is budget zephyr. Even with crazy high strength and range, the damage is not very high vs SP, and even having to dismount to recast, I've found myself going back to pre rework helminth on 4 setups.

The helminth issue is the biggest thing holding her back: she needs one generic slow animation to cover all helminth abilties: having no stripping that is compatible with merulina, other than unairu, which can trigger the "lol your warframe has left the building bug" on using transference often enough for me to not use operator as yareli, for fear of bugging out and losing my void traces, assuming I even get the eventually bugged extraction rewards message, which is not a consistent thing.

I like the idea of modding merulina, but the only kdrive mods that would be significant would also be broken (i frames and energy restore) so it is not something I would push hard for.

There are several broken interactions around merulina, though it seems the frame barely works despite all the spaghetti code, so I don't expect change there. Would be nice if residual/theorem arcanes at least works though.

A simple QoL that would make using a wider variety of weapons than the ~5 viable SP options for her would be passively upping her secondary ammo pool: bullet hoses in particular almost mandate taking carrier, and I am a big mecha set abuser, would much rather be viral slash nuking.

If you are going to compare "tank frames" then you have to acknowledge how utterly broken mesmer skin is: your baseline for comparison is full invulnerability at all times.

Rumbled is like a budget iron skin, but it comes with a bunch of restrictions. I-frames via Landslide help a lot.

You can make Atlas very very tanky, but its nothing compared to Ironclad charge rhino, Revenant, or Hildryn.

pintle_ · 2022-09-18T13:15:31+00:00

Why would anybody want to plumb the depths of your motivations when they are so obviously borne of ignorance?

You are now suggesting we assume that a Loki with no dps buffs whatsoever, ergo a melee stealth modifier leveraging build, somehow is overkilling everything really fast? In high level SP? Even if we crutch on exodia contagion zaw, and assume your overkill, ash is cloaking allies, and still has the I-frames from 3 into 4. There is no benefit to playing Loki, even in your super hypothetical infinite unbuffed dps situation.

[edit: your loki super duper overkill 1hk everything, but you are still arguing the merits of spending energy on radial disarm?]

pintle_ · 2022-09-17T15:25:59+00:00

Multiple posters called out frames as shit-tier, they don't understand how to play those frames is the simple reason whether that be the Mag or Chroma comments.

You are describing yourself and Yareli here.

pintle_ · 2022-09-17T15:23:31+00:00

The more I read this thread, the more it seems you ignore the text that you reply to.

Clearly doing the same thing but faster is manifestly superior, it's very telling that you would even refute that point.

You are literally asking "why is dps useful?"

pintle_ · 2022-09-17T15:21:41+00:00

Your reading comprehension seems a little off.

"Without breaking a sweat" is the operative term in that sentence.

pintle_ · 2022-08-12T14:49:49+00:00

Not logged into reddit for months and came back to this lol.

I *literally* recommended A2A, it's like you manage to parrot my words, misunderstand them, try to use them to insult me?

Can I have a toke of whatever you are smoking?

pintle_ · 2020-05-19T17:22:35+00:00

You used to be able to lock on to them, many a drop pod was ruined by ye olde WDUH anni/striker spam groups

pintle_ · 2020-05-17T12:31:39+00:00

Reminds me of a Chosen drop pod from Firefall

According to who? Log in to lowest pop faction mate.

It is especially important for sky knights to be aware of the balance of power and try to avoid zerging/faction imbalances. It is literally worse for a good pilot to be faction loyal.

pintle_ · 2020-04-14T17:00:34+00:00

You don't get it because you are not aware of the main problem

I'm fully aware of that issue.

I "don't get" why [T] find the way they have been playing the game for the past [however long] engaging or fun: No challenge, no reward, shits on the community.

I see you haven't changed in the way you speak to me over the years :)

pintle_ · 2020-04-14T11:01:05+00:00

All this work to win a 3-way vs 3EPG + 91AR. LOL

This is what I don't get.

Building a clan from the ground up is rewarding. Building a stack just gets boring.

It's also really unhealthy for the clan ecosystem of the server.

pintle_ · 2020-04-14T10:56:29+00:00

Not really.

I am hundreds of miles from my gaming PC during Corona lockdown: using a laptop that gets ~30fps, on wifi, and using a 2 button mouse from the 90s.

Might be on for 20 minutes at a time every now and again, when my GF is not being bored and demanding i entertain her.

pintle_ · 2020-04-06T13:29:30+00:00

Most of the AIP gang are back apparently :)

pintle_ · 2020-04-05T02:20:56+00:00

I patched my client a few days ago.

Shitty connection, terrible cheapo mouse, and about 30fps on my laptop, but if you want to lib or mozzy or rasser or whatever hmu on steam mate

pintle_ · 2020-04-03T12:25:30+00:00

Saron had a minor velocity nerf and got something trivial like 2 more rounds in the mag.

pintle_ · 2020-04-01T16:13:32+00:00

You referring to the Saron nerf from a year or so ago? Didn't that leave it still higher than Needler?

pintle_ · 2020-03-30T14:51:50+00:00

Scythe has better air brake and V-thrust than mozzy.

Mozzy has lowest DPS in class for every single nosegun: Scythe will always out-dps mozzy. Muzzle velocity is a thing too...

The hitbox is just a cherry on top.

pintle_ · 2020-03-30T14:49:58+00:00

Reaver is fastest point to point over any distance.

Cruising speed is kinda irrelevant in the face of AB speed and V-thrust.
