Ugh. Got a melee riven with the "level 30+ defense with 0 objective damage" unlock.

Ugh. Got a melee riven with the "level 30+ defense with 0 objective damage" unlock.

Fucking hate that one.

[Aklyon]

Not too bad, you just need a frost, a lot of energy, and a bunch of spectres.

or to be more reliable, a squad instead of spectres.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, I haven't forma'd my Frost P for a while so I'll get it eventually. Just a pain finding a squad for a defense that don't all charge off trying to kill stuff in the spawns, and running energy siphon on a solo is inefficient and tricky with the polarities the way they are.

[Ozyton]

And I thought the riven I just got was bad (scan a Simaris target without using abilities or traps while wearing a Hobbled Dragon Key). I hate defense missions.

Anyone have insight about my friend's problem? At this rate I might end up asking on the actual Warframe forums...

[Flying Dice]

Defense itself isn't bad unless it's a high-level tower mission that's at 40 rounds or something and you have an idiot in the cell. It's expecting there to be zero damage even to the shield.

S'like, we asked for difficult content, not tedious content.

[Ozyton]

Just checked how people do the synthesis riven and saw Limbo mentioned. If other people are willing to carry you through 30+ waves of defense you could just hang out in the rift I guess?

[Flying Dice]

Nah I just went to Hydron, it's 30-40 and heavily farmed for relics. Second time in got a helpful group who swapped over to Banshee, Inaros, &c. to help fast-clear five waves. Guess what I got when it unveiled.



You'd struggle to think of a way to make a worse Riven mod. Definitely rerolling my crappy Opticor one before this, lul. Probably just going to hang onto it as a joke until I'm capped out.

The melee combo multiplier is strange.  The timer by default lasts a fly's fart, but there's a (kinda hard to get) mod to make the duration actually exist.  And then the combo requirements go up exponentially for some reason.

I went in a survival mission using only a sword with the combo mod among other mods.  The mission went on like 15 20 minutes or so, and through the whole mission I strung a combo of hits and got up to a x5 multiplier or so (like 500+ hits?), not that it really mattered much.  Coulda just shot them or something.

I guess in a roundabout sorta way my damage scaled alongside the enemies getting stronger over time.

[Ozyton]

Most people seem to like Body Count to increase their combo timer, but Drifting Contact only lasts 2 seconds shorter, takes less drain, increases your status chance, and is actually available to farm.

There's mods that increase your critical chance the higher your combo is, plus a mod that increases your attack speed with each critical hit. I put it on my Fragor Prime while leveling it and I was swinging it hilariously quickly.

[MrRoboto75]

I didn't know there were any other combo mods.  I only have body count and that +attack speed on crit mod (Berzerker?).  Which is usually enough to make melee halfway okay.

I for one enjoy using my Galatine with its stance mod that allows me to spin around like a dummy, until my warframe gets dizzy somehow.

[NullForceOmega]

I really, really like the idea behind Plains of Eidolon, but I HATE the execution of the area so badly that I cannot even adequately express just how much anger it causes me.  The area could use a few solid balance passes, with special attention to objective survivability and Grineer air power/infantry omnipresence.  It is bad enough to be dealing with continuous ground reinforcements without having three or more hostile aircraft strafing my objectives (escorts/consoles) endlessly.  And the automated turrets are simply asinine especially the damned mortars.

[Flying Dice]

Just rerolled my Opticor riven to (maxed) +215% crit chance, +70% infested damage, -30% reload speed on my first reroll. Not quite the god-tier +crit chance/damage some people have, but not bad. Guess that makes up for the pang sword one. If the +infested applies to the PoE Sentients that's gonna be my go-to probably.

[frostshotgg]

Sentients are not infested. No idea where you got that idea.

[Flying Dice]

Misremembered my lore, since I haven't touched WF for months. For whatever reason I was thinking that the Orokin had had better luck with the Infested than they actually did and that most/all of the Sentients in the Origin system had been overtaken (given that only Tenno are actually able to resist it).
