[Broken War vs Nikana Prime]

Yep, tested them both in sumulacrum and in real missions with multiple builds and they are neck in neck close now as long as you have blood rush/condition overload.
The nikana p is a little stronger imo, but it's not something that you would notice much.The both do the job, quickly and effectively. 
Broken war received a huge buff and I say this as a good thing because early in the game is hard to find decent weapons. 

Would you recommend a critical build, or a hybrid? BW seems like it could handle a hybrid one

[Broken War vs Nikana Prime]

Following the latest nelee overhaul, what do you think about Broken War vs Nikana Prime?

I used NP a lot when I started out (used to have MR0 requirement), then got BW from War Within, but at that stage I wasn't using swords anymore so I just shelved it.

Does anyone has any experience and recommendations with both? I'm toying around a bit with BW, just wanted some opinions and mayne save myself from an unnecessary forma rabbit hole.

Cheers!

I checked,  Ruinous Ext. won't fit in the exilus slot 😪

The best way imo is to combine seeker with ruinous extension (now you have the space with the exilus when you forma enough).
ruinous helps with the initial range and seeker chains more targets(more CC).
If you want just more damage more corrosive is the way, yea, but with Ruinous Extension, because without it it's better to use your melee.

Afaik Ruinous Extension is not an exilus mod? Plus the exilus only takes utility and not damage enhancing mods. I'm at work so I can't  check at the moment.

imo punch through on Atomos is unnecessary. Punch Through's purpose is to kill multiple mobs at once, while Atomos itself has 2 characteristics which can do that already: Particle chain and Wide beam.

Another theoretical point is that Atomos' range is too short (15m) to be effective with Punch Through.

If u need another utility mod, use Ruinous Extension, or add more Corrosive/heat to corrode Grineers and Infested into liquid state. I would do the latter btw.

Thanks,  that frees up a lot of mod space for more damage. 

[Atomos + Seeker?]

I have been running Atomos for a while now, trying to make it a bit more viable for Index, SO and Sorties.

Is the Seeker (+punchthrough) worth using with Atomos? 

From playing with and without, I think it sort of chains better and pierces some shields/barriers, but not sure if the benefits are worth the massive drain.

Any opinions from more experienced players would be appreciated.

Not to sound harsh, but it sounds like it's not the right kind of game for you until something changes, because those aren't really issues with the game itself. It's very MMO-like, so to compare it to other games, it would be like hitting level 40 in vanilla WoW and getting discouraged because you have so much left to go.

You are not wrong in that, the grind was what put me off MMOs in the past. Probably will spend the random hour or two casually, until I get a switch or a dog.

As a new player considering on weather to keep it casual or give up completely:

• The grind is impossible considering my real life obligations. I'm past the stage where staying up overnight or devoting whole weekends to games is a thing
• Completed the second dream recently, then realising that I am nowhere near minmaxing anything, something that I always did when in single player RPGs. It feeds to the first point.
