[Warframe Stat Stick guide]

I finally got the ceramic dagger Incarnon and am in the process of forma'ing it for my Gara. I'm curious on Rivens and Critical Damage interaction. If the Incarnon base 30% crit gives shattered lash the ability to crit, will that mean you can also increase it's crit damage through Rivens, or will it still be capped at the 1.0x multiplier? I have a Ceramic Dagger Riven that gives 44.4 initial combo and 143% crit damage and as I play lazily and don't manage combo at all, the 74 starting combo would be amazing to have. However, if the critical damage is wasted then I may as well keep rolling the Riven.

Ceramic Dagger Incarnon allows Gara to crit...so yeah...even for Gara...till they nerf it I guess...

You can also pick these evolutions:

Evolution II: Perk 1: Gun and Blade: Increase Damage by +100. On Primary Kill: +1 Initial Combo. Stacks up to 100x.

Evolution III: Perk 2: Adept Reflexes: +20 Initial Combo.

With these and Corrupt Charge on Ceramic Dagger Incarnon you will be able to have 9x combo without having to upkeep it (once you stack Gun and Blade to 100x).

I did not know that Ceramic Dagger Incarnon allowed Gara to crit. I'll have to try that out.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but what's wrong with using Tenet weapons? I tested a Tenet Exec and my Prisma Skana with Gara in the Simulacrum and both behaved the exact same way in regards of losing and keeping combo.

I thought Tenet weapons were good for Gara because of Riven Dispositions etc. But I could be working on outdated information.

Rauta is okayish but you can just group enemies and whip or melee them to gain fast combo.

Ceramic Dagger Incarnon will outperform even a godroll Zenistar riven currently even without combo.

Even for Gara? 'Cause I pretty much only play Gara as far as the pseudo-Exalted frames are concerned. As I intend to subsume Dispensary over Spectrorage for energy, I won't really have a good way to group enemies. 

Edit: I do have a Riven for my Zenistar which is +23 initial combo, +133.5% melee damage. At the moment it's my best performing melee that I know of.

[Warframe Stat Stick guide]

With the release of Kullervo, I see potential in things like the Xoris/Tenet Livia, etc. Using Rauta to proc melee combo counter (as the Rauta increases melee combo per shot hit, stacking multishot = more pellets, more pellets = more combo counter), while having the Xoris/Tenet Livia, etc holstered. I was planning on using this on Gara. While it sounds good in my head, it's probably overshadowed by other things. Assuming if you're fast enough you could just use another weapon that has better riven disposition etc. But I generally don't use a combo build even though I know the potential is higher because I'm lazy with upkeep. Rauta would allow me to circumvent that.

I'd love to hear others thoughts on the idea.

 

EDIT: Did some very light testing. Zenistar is currently my best non-combo stat stick because of a Riven I have for it and I get about 21k~ for each cast after the first (For some reason the first cast is 32k~). The Xoris using a sub-optimal build (it only has one forma and I'm using Blood Rush to track combo counter) and Rauta to stack combo to 11x cap I was getting about 35k~ every cast. There's probably some inconsistency because of Primary Blade Charger.

I definitely wouldn't expect them to address the issue that quickly - it has, after all, only been like one business day. They are hard working people, but realistically, I expected them to get back to me maybe this week.

Seems like your problem got resolved though, congratulations! Must have been an automated three-day block then. I will try my game and report back. 🙂

I got a response back from DE. Unfortunately it doesn't really tell me anything useful. This was the most interesting part.

This problem is due to the IP protection that is enabled for the Warframe Servers. The protection includes an automated response to various internet based attacks on players. Basically, when the system detects malicious traffic, usually related to a botnet on your system or even from the ISP, our system blocks the IP. This way we can protect your account and make sure whatever malicious traffic that was detected does not gain access to it. Unfortunately, it leads to temporary service interruptions until those threats subside and normal traffic is permitted.

I will try to give you as much information on it as possible. Unfortunately, we can't tell you how long the block will last since it depends on the nature of the attack. However, if you have any questions feel free to re-open the ticket and l will do my best to answer them for you.

So the assumption that using too many failed promo codes caused the server to assume malicious attempts and IP block me, is probably accurate. Keeping in mind that my block has been removed now.

Did you recently try to redeem some promo codes? After much googling and asking around on Reddit and my clan, I'm pretty sure that that's what caused my IP to get blocked - probably tried to redeem too many in too short a time period.

Yeah I did. I've put in a support ticket and provided everything they asked for but all I got in their full working day was an automated message asking for more information, most of which I had already supplied in my first email.

EDIT: Just tried to launch Warframe (as I've been doing on and off for the last three days) and it started patching 😲 I just logged in too. So either the Support ticket got DE to quickly check the account and unban the IP or it's a time based temp IP ban because the server thinks their was malicious activity.

I think yours and mine is a separate issue. I can't log in specifically from my IP (which almost never changes), but the game plays fine over VPN or a mobile network. That's why I think my IP was automatically blocked after I tried to redeem a couple of promo codes that were no longer active.

If you tried with different IP addresses and still can't get past the Launcher, the issue might be elsewhere else. I did some Googling and a lot of people have had the same problem as you, but time (or hotfix) seemed to fix it for them eventually.

I'm having the same issue as you. VPN and mobile phone work, home IP doesn't. Even though I have a Dynamic IP on my home connection, I'd have to disconnect my internet for several hours to get a new IP assigned.

My appologies.

All good friend. I understand how frustrating it can get when people ask the same question over and over even though it's been answered so many times. Alas it is the nature of forums 😊

I'd also bet that your ISPs phone internet end up on different IP blocks that are relatively unused compared to broadband, so less likely to be throttled.

Especially as my mobile phone is under a different name and through a different provider, I'd imagine so.

Did you look at the thread date or read the content?

Codes dont last forever, your answer is written in many previous replies.

 

IE the majority have expired.

I did actually. But there are people from within a month that have codes that worked for them that didn't work for me. 

The way you asked that question came off kinda rude btw.

[Update Failures]

Well, my log file seems to indicate an issue on their end which is odd because if I swap to phone internet it works fine 🤔

A lot of these didn't work for me but I'm wondering if that's just because I put them in one after another and there's a time lock.
