    What's your fastest Netracell solo run? Trying to speed up from 9 minutes (titania)

    before i got arcane energize i used to run fleeting expertise and primed continuity, 

    I have that, but I just use Arcane Strike and Arcane Fury. Leads me to think I should take another look at my build. It's pretty old (5+ years).

    when you say efficiency cap what exactly do you mean ? 

    0.62 energy per second for Exalted Blade.

    175% is considered by many to be that, but some people go (in my opinion) overboard with 190% which offers no noticable gains compared to 175, but it does cost more mods over all. 

    175% is the cap for most abilities, and it doesn't go higher than that in the stats. For Exalted Blade it's a bit higher, namely 0.62 energy per second. You can get 175% with Fleeting Expertise at rank 4 and Stream Line, but you need Fleeting Expertise at rank 5 to get Exalted Blade at 0.62 energy per second.

    I didn't think it would be such a massive dps increase to get energize, but it was really worth grinding the gargoyle event for them, in order to be able to run 100% efficiency, archon flow, and pump up strength more! 

    Very interesting.

    with wrathful advance + chromatic blade + tenacious bond + violet 75%  crit dmg x3 or more archon shards you one shot practically everything
    (not necramechs...)

    archon flow + energize keep you topped up, you can play with madurai + primed sure footed/ handspring or Warrior's rest + Unairu  
    alternatively, easier to get, Xata's whisper is almost as good as wrathful advance, and it buffs weapons as well

    My build is a convenience build with Helminth's Empower, efficiency cap, no extra energy, some sprint speed and parkour velocity, extra health and shields, etc. Rips through Steel Path, but is a little slower in Netracells.

    It means that the topic of the coversation is bane corrupted, which only works against corrupted faction, and in that topic (that means INSIDE OF BANE CORRUPTED) I say it has all 3 factions. which it does.

    That's what you meant, but not what you said. Because of how you worded your post, I assumed you made a simple mistake.

    this whole thing wouldnt have happened if you hadnt assumed I was a complete moron

    Someone making a mistake doesn't make them a moron.

    Or maybe just read the post more carefully, you know.

    Or maybe you should just be more clear. Writing that you'd choose Corrupted because it targets all factions has a pretty clear meaning because of what it implies.

    I would use the corrupted for sure, specifically because it targets all factions at once

    No, it doesn't. It only targets members of the Corrupted faction. Regular Grineer, Corpus and Infested units are not part of the Corrupted faction, only their Corrupted counterparts are.

    However it's stupid to talk about 2 version of tennokai because they are very different in execution.

    They're not. There's one tennokai, and it's activation is based on regular melee hits. If you don't mind the randomness, then mod with that in mind. If you don't like the randomness, then mod with that in mind.

    This is basically how the whole games works. You like one thing, you mod for it. You like something else, you mod for it.

    Ah yes , if they don't like bread just eat cake instead.

    Well, yes. Finding something else to eat wouldn't be a bad idea.

    Anyway, this is basically someone complaining about something being crap because they used the wrong mod. Seems kinda silly.

    Does anyone actually bother with elemental matching?

    Like if you run a grineer mission are you building for corrosive because most grineer have ferrite armor and take +75% from that or are you taking radiation for the alloy armor bombards? Or do you take 2 different weapons to deal with each type? 

    I use corrosive + radiation + heat on my Exalted Blade build against the Grineer.

    He knows how to use it. But due to the chaos of battle and movement he typically misses the attack or because the indicator is very subtle he doesn't even notice it proc'd and be used until it's too late.

    There's nothing subtle about it. It's both clearly visible and audible. Even with large numbers of enemies I can clearly see and hear the indicator and never miss a tennokai opportunity. Your buddy needs to step up his game.

    My RNG is also bad.

    Use the right mod. Discipline's Merit gets rid of the RNG entirely.

    My most frequent duo buddy always misses the timing so all Tennokai did for him was reset his combo counter. So he just took the S#&$ off and to quote him: "Wish I could equip a useful mod in this slot. No wonder we never heard of Tennokai until Whispers. The Tenno school of fighting couldn't fight it's way out of a Walmart."

    So your buddy thinks it's crap because he doesn't know how to use it? Absolutely hilarious 🤣

    I’m just going to mark this as me not typing clear enough, because I agree.

    You're plenty clear. Perhaps I should've worded things a little different, because I'm not arguing against what you said.

    I'm stating the issues I see because I think they deserve better and should see appropriate changes or updates to their functionality.

    Indeed.

    As someone who lived and breathed Exalted Blade Excal for a considerable amount of time

    I can't play anything else 😅I have 90% usage on Excalibur + Excalibur Umbra.

    No, they are not worth using nowdays compared to a regular Melee if you can build your regular Melee to its full extend purely from a dmg potential angle.

    Sure, if you want max damage, look elsewhere. I just enjoy the way it plays, so that's why I stick with it.

    10 minutes ago, Aruquae said:

    as more melee features are added and they keep being exlcuded from them

    That's the real issue. It's like exalted weapons are being gimped on purpose by not adding the features that regular weapons get.

    13 minutes ago, Aruquae said:

    Doesn’t exalted blade already hit enemies in order to deal the brunt of it’s damage?

    Yes, however, Exalted Blade gets no bonus based on combo. It's only useful for heavy attacks, and you can still depend on the waves, though.

    15 minutes ago, Aruquae said:

    but I think you can agree it would be nice to use an actual melee, and an exalted weapon, instead of choosing one or the other

    I like using Exalted Blade exclusively with a regular melee weapon as a backup. However, if you don't, then it should be possible to make some kind of sane build for using both, yes.

    How long does it take?

    Units with heavy armor die slowly. Light units die in a few hits.

    I guess your forma-ing payed off.

    Yes, I forgot that. I have an extra Excalibur with just one forma, but the blade is shared with my fully decked out Excalibur, so that's four forma on the blade.

    1. Different stats (really negligible though)

    Aren't Desert Wind's stats better?

    20 minutes ago, Aruquae said:

    The waves for desert wind don’t count for combo. 

    Same for Exalted Blade. The blade has to hit enemies to gain combo.

    20 minutes ago, Aruquae said:

    it’s more about why I have to sacrifice pretty much an entire loadout just to make ONE ability strong

    That's true. If you want to really use exalted weapons you have to dedicate a whole build to them. However, you should be able to do better than having trouble against a 115 corrupted butcher with a more basic build.
