V auras are like EVERYWHERE (as in: nearly all frames have a V-polarity aura slot), but there is only TWO V auras: rifle damage and melee damage...
All the aura mods bar three or four are - polarity...

[nenjin]

Buying forma is kind of a waste unless you want it RIGHT NOW for some reason. T3 void missions have a 33% chance to drop a BP, and any void survival missions have a decent chance at forma/forma BP. If you farm any sort of prime equipment or frame you will probably end up with more forma then you can ever use.

Uh, no. Been farming for Prime stuff for the last month and a half. I'm pretty confident on what the drop rate is, and it's not high enough to meet my needs.

So far I've used.....over 30 Forma, excluding what it took to build the Dojo (which I ponied up almost entirely myself, TYVM.) When you factor in needing to farm keys, the RNG, the credits and the mats for Forma BPs....buying them makes plenty of sense. Yes, it's a choice to pay for the convenience and pain removal. I'm already farming the void as it is and every Forma gets made and used pretty much as soon as I get it. And rather than rotating a bunch of crappy weapons until I do get some Forma....I'd rather just spend some plat to buy it, and keep on with the weapon I'm currently paying attention to.

And yeah. V is a worthless polarity slot for most Warframes. What's really annoying is most frames start with a V in the Aura slot....which gives you exactly two choices: Rifle Amp or Steel Charge. Forget that Energy Siphon, Rejuvenation and the Ammo Auras are the only ones people use.

On the other hand, for weapons, V is the most important slot bar none.

[etgfrog]

well...I just got a forma(not blueprint) as a log in reward...so maybe it isn't that rare...

[BlackFlyme]

Acquired Vanguard Helm. Became Fat Ninja^TM.

Also, I've only ever gotten two forma blueprints. One was from an alert mission yesterday, and the other was a log-in reward a few days ago. I made one, but I'm still missing one neural sensor to make the other. Other than sensors, I'm actually set for a few forma blueprints, materials-wise.

Also, the only aura I have is shotgun scavenger. Which is a - polarity.

[Seriyu]

V slots aren't so bad on warframes. Some frames get a whole lot out of attack power, and provoked, while it relies on you dying, actually provides a pretty hefty attack boost. Continuity is nice too, and is inexplicibly a V.

I do agree that all the best auras are bar though. I still don't forma aura slots because it's a neat little encouraged "passive" for the warframe.

Also yeah, Vanguard helmet removes rhino's one downside. You are now an incredible monster.

I've only just noticed that the kestrel has two polarities. I've never noticed them sitting in the bottom right corner slots. I've been wasting so many potential mod points. Also, it rag-dolls almost everything it hits, which is hilarious.

I just completed an exterminate mission against Infested solo. I was hoping to stealth my way through, but those things are practically psychic. At least they are kind enough to come at me in a nice, mostly straight line. Outside of getting absolutely mobbed by a massive group, the only challenge I get from them is when an ancient is hiding around the corner buffing them or hindering me.

E: Just noticed that I got a free mod with my platinum. Shred is a rifle mod that adds 5% firerate and 0.2 puncture for each rank. Looks like I finally have a use for fusion cores, since I doubt I'll be finding others like this very often.

[Seriyu]

Shred can also be found in nightmare missions, but bypassing the RNG is always nice. Nightmare missions in general are great for mods! But yes, Shred is a particularly good nightmare mod. 

[BurnedToast]

I don't think shred is particularly good myself.

11 power gets you only 30% increased fire rate - speed trigger gives you 60% for 9 power.

Shred gives you punch through as well.... but I've never found that particularly useful. It sounds nice, but it's just too expensive/not worth the mod slot for what you get.

Edit: I admit I never maxed my shred out to test it though

[etgfrog]

punch through is really great for groups of enemies as the bullet will go through the enemy in front when they die so you can mow things down faster instead of wait till each enemy goes down...its better for machine guns really.

[kaian-a-coel]

punch through is freaking awesome.

[Seriyu]

Also of note; Punch through will go through allies too. So if you run missions and people are always getting in the way of your gun shots because "I PLAY LIKE A SOLO PLAYER FOR SEEMINGLY NO REASON BUT TO SPITE EVERYONE AROUND ME"? There you go!

[The Darkling Wolf]

I think I've managed to die more in the clan Dojo than I have in the actual game by this point. Wallrunning kills.

[nenjin]

How....how have you died in the Dojo?

[The Darkling Wolf]

Skill.

But seriously, in the main hall, if you climb into one of the recesses at the side and run up the wall at the edge of it then dash sideways you fling yourself out of the map.

Huh. I did that all the time out of boredom, never gone through the map.

Although it seems like map piercing issues have really gone up as of late.
