Good effort DE, get some sleep.

Meanwhile, you can watch the highlights video here. Do take note that is is uploaded on the PC Gamer site and it does not exist in the official YouTube channel of Warframe as of this writing.

[PSA] U17 Confirmed on Thursday EST (US)

It has been confirmed in a tweet by Steve Sinclair, one of the developers of Warframe, in a tweet that U17 will be launched this Thursday.

Steve also talks about a VERY long Change-log that spans 14 pages in a vine he tweeted. This really makes sense given the immensity of the update. According to Rebecca, DE's Community Manager, the update is a hefty 1400 MB (Warframe forum post).

Prepare yourself Tenno (for U17 and that 1.4 gig download)!

[MODS] Maxing 10-Rank Mods: Some Insight into The Amount of Credits and Cores Required (Uncommon Rank 5 Edition)

More than a month ago I provided data regarding the Maxing of 10-Rank Cores using Rank 3 Common Cores (C3 Cores). It was very interesting information and now i can add more to it.

I have gathered enough Uncommon Rank 5 Cores to do the same thing. Here is the data. I hope it helps.

The Next Step of course is to do this with Rare Rank 5 Cores (R5 Cores). It might take some time but i'll publish it once I have the data.

The Data

here is a table that contains the number of U5 Cores and Credits required to max a 10 - Rank Mod from Rank 0.

10 - Rank Mod	U 5 Cores	Credits
Common	216	453600
Uncommon	431	905100
Rare	647	1358700
Legendary	862	1810200

[PSA] Steve's Been Busy! Parkour 2.0 and Dat Cape.

Here's Steve's twitter page:
https://twitter.com/sj_sinclair

I really should check this more often. I just did and BOOM. Mind blown.

here's the latest one. It's a new cape. It looks amazing. I'm just afraid of how much this will clip. >_< My fingers are crossed.

Here's a Parkour 2.0 sequence:
It's an amazing set for movement. The terms below are from Steve. I just described it.

1. BulletJump - From a jump, you corkscrew towards your destination.
2. AimGlide - When aiming in air, your decent is slowed.
3. Double jump - Doing a second jump will increase vertical movement by going into  a somersault.

[Build] That’s BS Ash! (Prime Edition) 16.11.5

Ash is the ninja frame in Warframe. He has offense and stealth in his kit. If there’s one thing Ash is known for especially after the update, is the insane amount of damage he does with his Ultimate, Blade Storm (BS). Now that Blade storm is affected by Steel Charge, his damage potential just went up a couple of notches especially if your teammates also brought steel charge with them.

Ash Prime definitely Brings it. With an additional polarity, there’s no need to add a Forma.

Stats

1. Here are the improvements:
2. More than double the armor (from 65 to 150)
3. More Shields (from 300 to 375)
4. A slight increase in sprint speed (from 1.15 to 1.2)
5. An additional - polarity

	Ash (Rank 30)	Ash Prime (Rank 30)
Health	450	450
Armor	65	150
Shield	300	375
Power	150	150
Sprint Speed	1.15	1.2
Stamina	100	100
Polarities	2x V	1x - 2x V
Aura Polarity	V	V

The Build

The Build is used for maximum BS usage and targets. It has maxed range to make sure you get as many of the enemies as you can and at max efficiency and energy, you can spam your BS all day.

MODS

SurvivabilityNone. As BS spammers, Ash relies on 2 - 3 things to survive.

1. Your team. If you have a Frost in defense missions, you definitely live.
2. Your BS. While executing blade storm, you are invulnerable. The more BS you give the less damage you take.
3. If you did choose Health over Shields, you can also use Furis (Winds of Purity) to restore your health in case of damage in between BSs

Utility

Streamline, Fleeting Expertise and Primed Flow (or vanilla Flow)

These will allow you to gather energy and of course spam your BS. Since BS is Survival for this build, energy is crucial. Suffice to say, if you run out of energy you’re in trouble. No energy, no survival.

Offense

Intensify, Transient Fortitude and Blind Rage

Just the usual mods to increase power strength.

Range

Stretch and Over Extend.

This will allow your Blade storm to cover more ground, hence acquire more targets. This increases your attack radius to 58.75 m and your cast range to 117.5 m. This lowers your Power Strength to 152 %.

Another option is to use a Rank 2 Overextended which will increase your Power Strength to 182 % and still give you a decent cast range of 95 m and an attack radius of 47.5 m.

OE = Over Extend

TF = Transient Fortitude

BR = Blind Rage

		Max OE Max Stretch	R2 OE Max Stretch	Max Stretch
	Range ->	2.35	1.9	1.45
Attack Range	25	58.75	47.5	36.25
Cast Range	50	117.5	95	72.5
Power Strength	100 %	152 %	182 %	212 %
	Base	Max Intensify Max TF R2 BR	Max Intensify Max TF R2 BR	Max Intensify Max TF R2 BR

Alternatives

You may opt for a more damage oriented build in a team that decides to go for high level Missions like T4 Defense 30 waves and up.

Coming soon

Enjoy playing!

[Build] Standard Carrier Prime 16.11.5

Carrier is a very common Sentinel, almost essential because of the Warframe’s looting aspect.

Carrier’s Vacuum ability allows it to pull loot (mods, resources, orbs and ammo to your frame. This allows you to focus more on the battle instead of looting. If you check my profile in warframe you wouldn’t be surprised that I sue carrier 89% of the time… having earned 122,738,360 exp as of this writing.

This will change because of Carrier Prime.

Stats

Here are the improvements

  Twice the health (from 200 to 400)

 Thrice the armor (from 50 to 150)

20 more stamina (from 80 to 100)

An additional V polarity

	Carrier	Carrier Prime
Health	200	400
Shield Capacity	100	100
Armor	50	150
Power	100	100
Polarities	4x Precept 1x D	4x Precept 1x D 1x V

The Build

The build is for standard run and gun. Nothing fancy.

Polarities Added

Forma: 3

2 x D

Most of the Sentinel mods are defensive so “D” are the best at the moment. This will help with heavy mods like Vitality, Redirection and Steel Fiber. If you are they tuype of person who uses sanctuary, you can also use the slot for that mod.

1 x –

For animal instinct. This mod is a boon! Since the extinction of the Greedy Pull Mag (due to the nerf) in teams it has definitely made the looting easier since it gives you loot AND enemy radar.

MODS

Survivability

Vitality, Steel Fiber, Redirection, Fast Deflection and Regen

Utility

Vacuum, Guardian and Animal Instinct

Offense

Fired Up and Striker

Alternatives

You with this Build you may swap Fast Deflection out for Sanctuary. If you’re going to follow my Mod layout, Remove redirection from the blank slot and place Vitality there. Put Sanctuary in the D slot vacated by Vitality.

Coming Soon

Enjoy playing!

[PSA] The New Primes

Image Taken from here

The new Prime Items are here!

You can now purchase the Newest Prime Access here.

Here is a list of the new Primes:

1. Ash Prime
2. Vectis Prime
3. Carrier Prime

These are linked to the Wiki Pages so you can start farming them!

I'll see you in the Void Tenno!

[Build] Credit Croma

Still have a few hours before the Double Credit Bonus ends? Just bought a Credit Booster? Here's a build that will help you rake in the dough!

The build takes advantage of the passive ability of Chroma's ultimate ( Effigy)to increase credit drops from enemies Killed by this power,

The Build

It's a basic build that has 2 requirements:

1. Max Efficiency
2. As much power as you can manage to get
3. Use a power color that deals fire damage
4. Must have maxed Effigy (Rank 30) is the easiest way to go about it

Here's what mine looks like:

The Place

Well, it'll be a quick run of less than six minutes. It's Gabii, Ceres.

Why a Gabii?

1. No Ancients at the five minute mark. 
2. It's a survival mission and we'll only stay up til the 5 minute mark so oxygen isn't going to be a problem. 
3. On top of this you get 20-23k after completion depending on how many people join. Solo you get 20k.
4. You have a chance at getting a r5 pack of 5

Other Requirements

There's just one last thing, you need energy. You can choose any of the following methods:

1. Team Energy Restore
2. EV Trinity
3. Rage + Winds of Purity (Furis)

You also need at least 1 non syndicate weapon (no radial effects) and you need to make sure that your sentinel doesn't have it's attack mod.

The Method

It's easy. 

1. Get energy first Based on your chosen method (this may happen before or after depending on the method).
2. Trigger the alarm (again this may vary depending on the method chosen for getting energy)
3. Go to the first Life Support site and cast Effigy.
4. Don't Kill anything using methods other than Effigy.
5. Get a safe perch and run around collecting the credits as it drrops
6. Pop the tank when the next one appears.
7. Move to the next life support module.
8. Repeat 3 - 6 until 5 minutes elapse 9 you should be near the exit if you did this correctly)
9. Extract.

The Rewards

Here's what you can get:

48.k Credits (already doubled because of the double credit event) plus a nice r5 pack of 5.

Hope it helps! Enjoy the game.

[PSA] Mag Greedy Pull Nerf Incoming

EDIT:
The Nerf has gone live!

Check the details here:
https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/486216-update-1611-ash-prime-hotfix-16111/#entry5431495

It's been posted and all that needs to happen is the implementation.

The Coming Change:

• "Greedy Pull will only pull items for the Ability caster (like how Carrier's Vacuum only applies to the owner).
• Greedy Pull will still pull items as it does now - no Line of Sight checks will be included."

The Effect

This means that all thee teams that use mag will no longer be able to do so. This primarily affects any team with a Mesa since the only way for her to gain energy while in stance is to get energy orbs, which of course mag got her.

Aside from any team built around Mesa, any team that Camps and kills from afar will be affected.

This affects team synergies in general since Mag is usually a good incentive for a team to stick together.

The degree to which people will wander is still unknown but based on the "Heroics" (aka spawn camping) of pre-greedy pull defense missions, It'll be a pain... unless you're a Mag.

Getting Around It

There really is no getting around the fact that we'll be roaming for loot again, but you can get around the energy restrictions of Mesa.

Here are your options:

1. Limbo - When Banished, Mesa will gain 2 energy per second. This won't allow her to continue indefinitely but will allow her to keep at it for a longer amount of time especially with a maxed primed flow.
2. Trinity - EV (Energy Vampire) has always been a staple for energy hungry teams before Mag happened. She will definitely be making a comeback once the Nerf hits Mag.
3. Energy Restores - It's there, but it WILL make those missions cost more. It is still an option though.

In the End

Is the game mean to be played by sticking together? Are the mechanics paving the way for this? Was there a better way? We will definitely see the aftermath of this decision once it hits.

Are you prepared?
