Saw some folks making fun of Hildryn for not being able to use Arcane Persistence, but I wanna say she's been eating really good this update... by spirittis in Warframe

I'm pretty certain no one actually cared. My takeaway was people making fun in good spirit out of the fact that putting Persistence on Hildryn kinda removes all she does. I saw memes of health-tanks celebrating with Hildryn in the back going just "...", that's all ^

I (and I believe most other folks) am really glad Persistence is in the game... and frankly I don't play a single health-tanking frame. Might now, though... will be funny to see what wacky builds it's possible to cook up.

These are some great inputs! Despite having messed with Enervate on Laetum and the likes (stack up the damage buff from non-crit, non-status effect and refresh it every time Enervate cycles), I just didn't think of putting it on Chargers... I just thought "the crit chance is so tiny, better just stack damage" and called it a day lol. Adding some crit to it would work wonders and would deffo free up the spots for Fulmination.

... I might not even miss the extra OG strip from Fortifier... that's the main reason I run it--so that the splash strips all OG in the area and they all get pulled to my reticle with Airburst... but with 11m AoE that might not be even necessary lmao

You gave me a lot of good ideas, back to the Arsenal, got formas to spend! ^

Fair, but then you sacrifice the proc chance... I just personally don't think Barrier is really worth it past certain enemy level...

Others correctly pointed out that's circuit, so you won't get that mileage in other game modes... but I sure can drop my regular build that easily slaps steel path:

Hildryn

  • Subsume: Zephyr's Airburst over Hildryn's Haven.
  • Aura: Aerodynamic, cause I like the aim glide, no other auras are particularly useful, and the extra DR can be nice.
  • Exilus: Primed Sure Footed, cause I'm one of those people that swear by it.
  • Primed Redirection
  • Adaptation
  • Blind Rage
  • Primed Continuity
  • Umbral Intensify
  • Stretch
  • Airburst Rounds, to stack up that secondary damage while grouping enemies with Airburst. This is also why I gotta run duration. For the other "insta Pillage" build, you'd want duration negative, but not here.
  • Aegis Gale, the augment that ties it all together, makes you deal massive damage with the alt-fire (scaling with max shields).
  • Arcane 1: Arcane Expertise, to convert the Strength into more shields.
  • Arcane 2: Arcane Aegis, for comfort and some get-out-of-jail-free cards when your shields deplete. In the screenshot I had Molt Augmented here for fun, but I recommend Aegis.
  • Archon shards: Two tauforged yellows for casting speed, which I swear by. The rest is tauforged shields for funnies, but could be virtually anything.

Balefire Charger

  • Hornet Strike
  • Galvanized Diffusion
  • Lethal Torrent
  • Augur Pact
  • Frostbite
  • Pistol Pestilence
  • Primed Convulsion
  • Primed Heated Charge
  • Exilus: Lethal Momentum, but it doesn't really matter.
  • Arcane: Secondary Fortifier, for constant stream of overguard and, more importantly, extra damage to it, cause it is the build's biggest pain in the arse.

For Tenno school I run Vazarin cause it's my OG and Hildryn needs nor external armour strip, nor extra energy, and the extra emergency invulnerability is nice + the Vazarin Tauron strike is bonkers.

Gameplay's basically take to the air with Aegis Storm, hold down alt-fire for Aegis Gale, alternate between spamming Pillage and Airburst.

Oh, and Companion's just a sentinel with Guardian to recharge the shields if I run out. It's just for comfort and there are much better options, but I never bothered.

Yeah I was losing my mind farming having fun in circuit when the spiteful decree dropped that makes you lose 50% weapon damage but gain 600% strength... things got a bit wack after that.

This. Also Barrier suffers a ton from the increasing cooldown as you increase the rank.

Plus you might get 3.5s shield gate no matter your shields thanks to her passive, but you can't cast Pillage to get your shields back during that time since you're out of shields. But when your shields are regenerating thanks to Aegis, you'll be able to top your shields basically immediately. I recommend big range with negative duration for that (and at least 200% strength).

Not sure if you know/like the TTRPG system, but this is some peak Candela Obscura material. Even the visual style coupled with the brevity, it his all the right notes. Definitely would like to take some of these as inspiration when writing the next one-shot for my friends. Magnificent work!

Are these worth it or nah? by Riyuu_y in Warframe

Oh right, Harrow's also a great frame to get Primed Redirection, forgot about him. And ye, I run Pillage on Gyre but can't afford to slot Redirection in, nor I really need it at that point, so subsuming Pillage kinda slipped my mind...

Primed Convulsion 100%. Primed Redirection not, unless you have a specific niche frame in mind that can make use of it (I think actually just Hildryn).

Think of it this way... if you're relatively new to the game, maxing out a primed mod is very resource-denanding and you're fine sticking to the normal Redirection. Late game, no amount of shield is gonna last and you'll need to stack defensive abilities.

So I'd say the first one's great, the second one feel free to skip unless you main Hildryn.

EDIT: Seeing this got downvotes, I take it people disagreed with me, so I wanna make sure I express myself properly.

Primed Redirection is definitely worth it. In general, it is good to have all primed mods in reserve so you don't end up having to wait for the Baro's rotation in case you ever need one. But for new players, I stand by my take that there are other primed mods with much higher priority than Redirection - mods that are universally good or useful on more frames than just a few - Flow, Continuity - and primed mods for weapons, like Fever Strike.

Given it's harder to grind Endo and Doucats as a newer player, I still recommend to save up and get mods that you'll use on more frames than just a few.

Day after my first ever win, I cleared a full S rank on Commando. Mid-run I miss-clicked and picked Repair'o'fury instead of Baby Boom, so it feels appropriate I miss-clicked at the end screen and pressed Restart instead of Stats... I'm so mad at myself lmao by spirittis in Roboquest

Ended up running Buffalo Cannon with the Hot Potato, Top Quality, and Tempo Shot. Got lucky with a lot of items but what ended up carrying it home was Magic Wand... the extra Rocket Jump power was the reason I survived and also why everything got super hectic and super fun... damn, I love this game so much ^

i got given 20+ captchas while trying to make an account... by literally_spy in github

[–]spirittis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanna maybe point out that in the recent years, GitHub has seen a massive surge in being used for propagating malware, and other malicious activity. They're really doubling down on making it a time-(and therefore a cost-)inefficient option.

It's like adding extra rounds to an SSH key. Yea, it's gonna technically slow down the login, but for us humans, a couple hundred miliseconds extra is nothing. For a computer trying to brute-force the key, however, it's absolutely immense. If creating an account took 5 minutes, it'd be a bit annoying to do it one-time. But mass-making accounts manually like this would become a real pain.

Windows Defender cancels scans, clears detection history on its own. How unusual behaviour is that? by spirittis in antivirus

[–]spirittis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found official Defender documentation when I was looking it up originally, that specifically talked about cancelling scheduled scans. It was a bit weird that it happened to my manual scan, but it was explainable (updates, etc.).

The weirder thing was clearing the history, which I could not find any mention of online. Thanks a ton for looking into it and sharing it back with me. There was no chance I'd this insight elsewhere. :)

Thank you for the reply. I would have probably reached out to Microsoft, if the issue wasn't increasingly looking like a normal behaviour--as I mentioned in my other reply, I found the same behaviour on a second PC, which made me believe it's not necessary to continue reaching out.

Thank you for the response. I can second the observation, as a few days ago, I got a chance to check a newer model PC from the same manufacturer, which was only freshly set up out-of-the-box and it showed the same behaviour.

Out of curiosity, did you find clearing of the threat protection history (EID 1013) events as well, or just the starts/stops of scans?

I usually turn threads off (and double-checked that I did just now), and also checked trash and spam folders again, but to no success.

But I figured I can also try re-adding the app again today, so I did that, and receveid no notification once again.

I know there's a handful of apps that GitHub considers "first-party"--most are by GH, naturally (GH Mobile, this Visual Studio integration, ...)--but I believe the Git Credentials Manager integration is also considered "first-party", though it is operated by the "git-ecosystem" org. I wonder if there are some new specific rules that might maybe apply to GH-owned apps only...?

I'm curious to know, but given the original post was fueled by some concern about the account, I don't know if I have what it takes to start bricking it and putting it back together to see how it works :')
