[Excalibur need survivability]

I think it's largely because the stance for Exalted Blade is terribly bland. It's just not all that interesting to dip and duck behind cover while doing the same basic animations to shoot energy waves.  

I still use him occasionally but his play patterns quickly become boring despite the fact that his damage is just obscene when he's free to hit. 

The exalted blade stance is another problem, i agree.

• Improved the targeting of Hydroid’s Tempest Barrage liquid fury. 

This could be better, Its difficult too see the area effect of tempestade barragem while you're aiming.

To be brutally honest, he does have a point. Excal will reach a point where you spam the f- out of Radial Blind or die (and sometimes both because some mobs timed their arrival perfectly with the ability's downtime) which makes the gameplay kinda meh. However... It might probably be for the best. Let the lockdown and support frames do their job and allow you to continue pulverizing everything you stare at.

U have a point too, kkkkk. But its sad, i really wish a top tier exca.

Still counts as a survival skill.

You already try play him solo or in team in a survive mission in a wave 7, or maybe 10? Try use this radial blind over and over again...u"ll be dead in the second "free" blind. The range is short, very short, and cost half of the energy to cast for blind maybe 2 or 3 mobs...not worth.

Well, personally I think that's mostly just preference.
He is not super wanted on missions like maybe an EV trin or something, so maybe that's why you don't see him on them too often.

If you want more survivability, try using radial blind/life strike/quick thinking+rage+vitaily+flow

yeah, this is why i create this post. You see, for exca survive he need a LOT of mods for working, plus healing return and status condition, and etc, etc, etc...this is not survivability, this is only the mods working.

And have this factor, in my opinion, exca isnt need because have a lot of frames now who do his work better, solo and with team. He is not a bad frame, but hi is not a top tier frame too, and i wish this for him, he deserve be a top tier frame.

Like almost everyone who start the game, we chosen excalibur, the number 1, the market boy, etc, etc, etc. He is a very popular frame, according this lists:
list 1

mogamu list (tennocon - youtube)

But, why i dont see excalibur in high level content? The short answer, survivability. He is a excelent damage dealer frame...but that it. No good for solo content, not good for raids, not good for high level content, what is the focus of the most high level players.

Excalibur is a melee frame, his name is the name of a sword, he need survivability, like a shield, or life steal, or short invencibility, because he is a melee frame, he need this for player who love him, well, play with him, not just for fun, but in the most mission like we play with rhino, inaros, nidus, ivara, loki...

I ask myself, he is soo popular, but he is a ok frame...is that ok? I really wish a new skill for him, or a new redesign for his 1 and 3 (lets be honest, no one use radial javelin anymore, and the 1 is pretty bad in everyframe, with rare exceptions).

What you guys thinking about it?
