I disagree. I'm of the opinion that his entire kit needs to be thrown out and done over. The major problem lies in the fact that 1) Oberon has two conflicting themes influencing him and
2) the theme that is represented by his abilities is the poorly designed, extremely mediocre D&D Paladin.
Hell, the main reason modern RPGs retconned the Paladin into a self-healing tank is because the original Paladin class from D&D was a poorly designed generalist that didn't scale well to the High level stuff, just like Oberon. Oberon, if he is to have any hope of being anywhere near good, needs to forget about being a Paladin and focus on his much more prevalent Druid theme.
I can respect that.
To be completely honest, I hold both opinions close to my heart. If he gets buffed, awesome. If he gets reworked, that's awesome too.
As I said, I just want him to be as awesome as he should be.
As @[DE]Rebecca says:
Dream... not of what you are.... but of what you want to be.

I'd rather they rework him first. At least just his Hallowed Grounds ability.
It's not so much that each of his abilities (on their own) are lackluster; Hallowed Ground performs rather well for what it is.
The problem arises when you have each of his abilities failing to play into the rest of them. I like to put it that Oberon is the opposite of what Limbo's problem used to be.
Before his (amazing and beautiful) recent rework, Limbo essentially had two abilities. Rift, Rift, Damage Buff, Big Rift. He did too much of one thing across all four of his abilities and, while it worked thematically, the execution was poor to the point that he was probably one of the least used frames in the entire game.
Oberon, on the other hand, has too much going on in his kit and he does too much not well enough.
Smite is supposed to be a damage ability (similar to Volt's 1, I'd imagine) with some slight CC, Hallowed Ground is an attempt at a DoT field. Renewal is an oddly fragmented variation on a healing ability, and Reckoning (with its augment) is probably the only real heavy hitter in his kit with a mix of CC, damage, and potential healing.
More in depth, Smite is useful... ish. It deals meagre damage and does a Radiation proc. Not entirely useful when there are more reliable ways to do this, but it's a bit better because it can reduce enemy damage by 30% using a Puncture Proc's Weaken.
Hallowed Ground does DoT in a set area and buffs allies slightly (namely approx. +20% armor, immunity to status, and immediate clearing of all status procs) which can be useful... until you consider that this is only useful for tight corridors and camping in one spot. Assuming you have enough range that makes the extremely laughable base size something worth considering.
Renewal... ohoho, I despise the current iteration of this right now. It's a Heal-over-time ability that has travel time and only stays activated when someone has less than 100% health. Meaning that if someone gets almost oneshot, Oberon can't do his role as a healer unless he preemptively pressed his 3... which can't happen because his 3 won't activate without somebody being hurt.
Don't even get me started on Phoenix Renewal here. You need to have the ability active for the augment to kick in, making it completely worthless for OHKOs in higher level play (where having a Jack-of-all-Trades like Oberon should come in handy IMO).
Lastly, Reckoning. One of his few saving attributes (outside of having a heal in general and Smite having Weaken) since it's an AoE attack that has a 100% to cause Confusion... and spawn health orbs on killed enemies (and potentially many mini Hallowed Grounds with augment) and did I mention not only do the survivors start fighting their nearby allies, but they also blind them. The damage is also 50% Impact and 50% Radiation, meaning it's decent against at most 2/3rds of the enemies.
But later on you're going to rarely kill anything with Reckoning, meaning the health orbs won't spawn too much. The few redeeming factors being multiple enemies being Radiation proc'd, blinded, and knocked on their bumbums.

EDIT: In essence, every iteration of his abilities are a much too watered down version of another Frame's ability that would much better be filled by bringing that frame instead of Oberon.
He has potential. I want him to be good. He's one of my favorites, thematically.
He just has way too much going on, too many shoddy mechanics, and zero synergy within his own kit.
EDIT: He doesn't need a complete overhaul either, just synergistic buffs and mechanical tweaks (looking at you, Renewal...).
Cheers.

Just so you know ALL frames are eligible to be primed, it's just a matter of time. They generally prime one Warframe every 3 months.
The lore is that Prime Warframes are the original and first Warframes of that type ever built. They're a lost technology.
Since Prime Warfrmes are only out every 3 months, it takes some time for them to get to certain ones. Luckily Zephyr is rather close compared to many others.
EDIT: I personally love the Pyrana. It's not the best weapon but it's a good secondary shotgun with proper modding.

It was never a proper buff for underused weapons and they knew that
Which is why they gave those weapons their buffs.

Oh no, you actually have to be tactical about your use of a launcher, just like every other one out there.
If it's thee Tonkor you're talkin' 'bout you do realize that it's still a very strong and reliable launcher, right?

April Fools joke.

Cyooooot.

I never liked Volt's shoulders, and it makes me sad he doesn't get a "no armor" option...
But I love Volt and all his slip-ups...<3

Go get mad at the console companies instead of DE. :3

I'd just like to say that each print (250/32) is about $8 if you buy them all... If I had more space on my walls in my room, I'd probably get a few of them but...
(I was going to rant a bit here about their shipping costs, but upon digging in a bit more I found that shipping vinyls and posters have a minimum additional cost of ~$14. Pins have a minimum $5 it seems. Makes sense, but I was mildly surprised when my $45 purchase turned into a $60 purchase.)
EDIT: In addendum, I'd also like to say what's up with their projected ship date? "2nd quarter"? That's a span of three months. ._.
It COUUUUULD be the first week of April, or it COUUUUULD be the last week of June.
Lastly, the digital download is available July 8th... after the projected ship dates? Weird.

I hope we get the 4th of July one this year.
We will. If there's a color picker for that holiday already, it'll come out on that holiday.

If that chart shows completion of missions over 4 days (which it seems to show), 1.29% of missions completed by a potential 26,000,000 registered losers over four days is still an extremely high number of raids. (EDIT: It's also more popular than PvP. Lawl.)

Doesn't really make sense to compare upgrades to one gun to upgrades to others, IMHO. Every gun works differently, they get different upgrades.
Ignis Wraith's upgrades make it fantastic and it's still within the bounds of other upgrade-variant weaponry.
2 points less base damage for more than double the crit and a tasty buff to status, not to mention better overall ammo capacities and people call the Ignis Wraith 'bad'? SMH.
-
I'll be completely honest, I didn't like them...
Until @WEREsandrock showed me those male drawings and the artistic choices made sense.
On their own, the female frames just look... oddly bulky in the legs. To a point it didn't make sense to me.
Comparing them to the male frames shown, they fit. Like puzzle pieces.
-
As said above, they definitely could allow it.
But then everyone would cry enough tears to salt a salt lick when they get a weapon two weeks later that takes quadruple their current pile of [insert resource here].
I support it because I like salty tears.

The thing of it is....Primes could not be the originals because there would have to be prototypes before Primes. Primes being told they are the first could be the equivalent of how history always says one massacre is the worst in history while ommiting all the others that were before just to make this one seem more prestigious.
Imagine if Prototypes were used first, then Umbra were used as Black Ops, then Primes were used once it was public knowledge that Warframes were a thing. They needed to show the citizens that this was their fighting force so they adorned the ones that would get peoples support and sent them out like movie stars. Meanwhile, the Umbra and Deluxe versions did their specific jobs.
Just because we are told something were the first does not mean it was truth.
Still not an excuse to just not prime a frame, IMO.
-
Lets be clear here: story-wise it makes sense that all Warframes would be primed. Personal opinions aside, Prime Frames are the originals and everything else is essentially a cheap modern-day plastic knockoff. Primes aren't just some cash-grab, they're canonical. AND lore dumps with the videos we've been receiving lately that have been voiced by Ballas.
There is zero reason Mesa wouldn't be primed and "but unconfirmed Umbra hype!" isn't an excuse to not prime her.
EDIT: For clarity, I'd like to add that if Mesa doesn't get a Prime she technically shouldn't exist. ;3
OT: Gonna have to wait a while for that Mesa Prime. :P

I'm going to guess the weps are the new Tenno shotgun that has been alluded to many times, and a secondary that accentuates the Bard's characteristics
IIRC they haven't actually started on the Tenno Shotgun aside from the bit they showed before that got the ball rolling.

Maybe when Titania Prime comes out Silvana can narrate it.
Brilliant!
We could have Inaros Prime be narrated by Baro Ki'teer.
Why? Because it fits with the lore.
Context is key. You can only change something when the context makes sense with the story.
-
Just to add, the basic premise of the videos are an introduction done BY BALLAS to the Tenno High Council to show what the newest developments have been.
They are meant to be him detailing what the Warframes are. You cannot redo the voice actor without rewriting the lore.
-
The Voice Actor = the person who made the Warframes.
Changing voice actor = changing person who made Warframes.

Allow Tenno gen to be tradable in game?

Well, yes, until you realize that 20p is something like $1 and people are selling the Tennogen stuff for 1k+ plat.
Seems like a sh***y reason to boycott them. I want Half Life 3 just as much as the next guy but if everybody boycotts them, who's going to pay for Half Life 3 development?
I don't understand this, personally. You're showing support to the community for letting DE allow Tennogen, you're showing support to the (very talented) artists, and you're showing support for Warframe in general by buying cosmetics and spending real money on it anyways.
They do have a contract through Steam. It's part of the reason why console players can't have non-plat Tennogen stuff.
