  1. Mag Prime?

     

    Or Djinn sentinel?

     

    I mean, seriously. Usually i see people running with such items on day two after update, but now?

    No one, nada, null, not even a single proof that anyone has acquired one of listed above.

    No Youtube videos, nothing.

     

    I smell a fail at rebalancing resource, credit costs and droptables.

  2.  

    There is nothing about PhysX that prevents it's effects from running in full on the CPU, or even on other graphics hardware.

    This is true, however the way PhysX is made makes sure that it'll bring your FPS to crawl if it's run on anything else than Nvidia GPU.

    Trying to run it on CPU or AMD GPU will not end well for your gameplay experience.

  3. Well, the thing with particle effect:

    A)they have simplistic version of it (available without physx)

    b)they have fancy version of it (available only with physx)

     

    The main thing with fancy particles is that they're rely heavily on GPU, unlike standard particles.

    If DE wanted to have similar feature for both GPUs they'd have to re-write their particle system entirely and then fine tune it for both Nvidia GPUs and AMD gpus.

     

    THEN, they would have to fine tune it for each of the popular GPUs from both vendors.

     

    Also, thing with PhysX is that it's fairly simple and easy to implement/use.

    Nvidia supplies developers with more or less ready to implement binaries which are easy to hook up to any engine.

    Additionally they provide software and plugins for creating PhysX objects like Clothing and Particles, whereas if any developer would wish to create similar middleware on their own, they would have to create all workflow software/plugins on their own.

     

    Doable? Yes.

    Reasonable to do when you already have PhysX? No.

    Also, even if Consloles had Nvidia and physx ready GPUs. Believe me, one Nvidia GPU from mainstream power shelf would NOT be enough to run the game in 1080, high detail AND PhysX particles.

     

    Next gens are much better than the old ones, but by no means they hold up to decent modern PC

  4. Which then dissapear forever after a little bit.

     

    You get, at most, like 20-30 seconds of invincibility, which, considering you've already got a trinity in the group, is not a big deal.  Bug? Yes.  Important to fix? No.  Hilarious? Absolutely.

    Actually, if you manage to re-cast the skill within those 20-30 seconds you get even more shields and another 20-30 seconds.

    Which actually makes it important to fix.

  5. 1. soul punch spam build is quite viable, especially if you know how to use it.

    (Flow+Streamline+Focus+Soul Punch)

     

    2.Soul punch is perfectly silent (as are other warframe powers).

    Even though it has loud thump and quite visible visual effect, other enemies won't give a damn if you use it as a stealth takedown weapon.

     

    3.Desecrate is mostly viable for survival missions (and maybe ED), but not so much for other modes.

    Also you can Desecrate same bodies multiple times, and each time it'll do a separate roll for loot.

     

    4.Vigor is a quite good choice for bumping Health&Shields without wasting too many mod points.

     

    5.Adding Energy Siphon, Rage and Equilibrium to the mix, increases your SP spam abilities greatly.

    You stay alive - Energy siphon gives you energy

    You receive damage - Rage gives you energy

    You pick up health/energy - Equilibrium gives you both health and energy for every pickup.

     

    7.Soul Punch makes you a miniature alive Lanka

    650 AP damage (with maxed flow) + ragdolling the enemy, it can't get much better than that.

    Also remember to check out the wiki for the juiciest details

    I don't use Terrify or Shadows of the Dead so i can't give any tips on using them, sorry.

    Have fun.

  6. Lol, is Soul Punch that good?!? I've got it at rank 2 and my Nekros is at level 5, so it will be a while before I can actually test how the power is strong.

     

    If you have to choose another power to equip you'd go for................................................?

    With maxed focus it's 650 Armor Ignore damage.

    Which at higher levels can outperform 2.2K Ash's blade storm and 1k Mag's Crush, simply because they get scaled down by armor BIG TIME.

     

    Additionally it ragdolls one or more enemies, which allows you to throw them away into the pit or fly them up in the air so they suffer from fall damage.

    As for any other power.

    -Desecrate would be useful if the bodies stayed at least twice as long as they do, currently you won't be able to cast the skill effectively, because by the time you're safe enough to cast it, there are 2 or 3 bodies left. Additionally Novas MP and Saryns Molt destroy the bodies, so no loot for you.

     

    -Terrify might be useful, mostly in defense, but then, Bastille or Snowglobe usually do much better job at keeping hostiles away from the objective.

     

    -Shadows of The Dead just feels like remixed and underpowered version of Chaos.

  7. Soul punch is fine and dandy.

    Desecrate would be fine if bodies lasted a bit longer, currently you consider yourself lucky if you cast it on 3 bodies or so.

    Haven't used terror so i can't really tell.

    Also didn't use SOD cause it looks like remixed and castrated Nyx Chaos.
