All I ever had R3 bound to before was Inspect... which is uneeded in game, and thus just bound to the directional buttons instead. I have only the UP Directional button unbounded.
-
Can't wait for the Wraith cycle to be over so we can start getting the Vandal weapons... perhaps with a few new Vandal weapons thrown in like Vandal AkSomati's :)
Of course this means Snipetron Vandal, and NOT Braton nor Lato Vandal... but who knows since China got the Braton Vandal....
-
Can't bind the Alt fire to your R3?

Actually if you think about it, the Telos Boltor synergizes well with the Truth effect. Take into account its magazine size, its firing type, and fire rate, and then consider its use with Aim Glide. I think the Telos Boltor, as it is now, is more suited to players that try to take advantage of Aim Glide, Maneuverability, or simply Parkour 2.0.
-
Is there really a point to using it over the prime though?
Again, the Truth Proc. My main is a Speed build Rhino Prime, and that boost to Aim Glide synergizes well for an automatic weapon... probably use it on my Zephyr too which I gave Aviator and Patagium. I also rarely even use the Boltor Prime, using guns like the Boar Prime or the Braton Prime more often, and waiting for that change in Fire Rate to Burst Fire weapons before trying the Burston Prime again... really wish that was included in the console update.
-
Berserker... not Arcane Strike... right???
-
So... ya, I'll probably be using the Telos Boltor alot on my main... well past its hype time where the Boltor fan boys will go back to the Boltor Prime... really enjoying that Truth effect for Aim Gliding.

I love how my old Rhino Prime build now has a positive amount of Duration (+8%) thanks to the lack of stamina, the Exilus mod slot, and my maxed Primed Continuity (+71% Power Strength, +50% Efficiency, and a nice sprint speed of 1.7). Now I can enjoy ramming enemies at a distance instead of being point blank, and I didn't even have to Forma him for it... had all of that done with the ability mod slots.
Also, Mara Detron is quite good, especially when you add Corrosive and Primed Heated Charge, gives you an elemental verson of the IPS, Radiation is your Impact, Corrosive is your Puncture, and Heat is your Slash.
If you don't like Baro and his Primed mods, thats fine, I mean, I consider myself a bit of a purist, as in I don't run Primed Weapons/Sentinals on non Primed Frames/Sentinals, nor Primed Accessories on non Primed Weapons/Frames/Sentinals. GOLD ON GOLD FTW.
Its pretty obvious that he's going to stay, and any Primed Mod he releases will make a return at some point, making them accessible always, just at certain points in time. You can also do some interesting builds, for instance try taking that heavily looked down on Primed Slip Magazine on an Ak Bronco Prime with Tainted Magazine and Ice Storm for a magazine of 15. Bring out the Angstrum with Hall of Mirrors, and let loose the frame droppers, melt some computers. Try to not think of how you can make things more powerful... or OVER POWERED as you MIGHT be thinking (I'm not your conscious... I don't know what you're thinking), but instead think of what you could do with them for more fun. Fuse a bunch of them, sell them for credits, Transmute them perhaps???

Just curious, by this being her final CHANGE, does that mean she will never be nerfed/buffed/reworked nor return from the Vault (assuming the Vault will not be a destination we can go to later for farming/rewards)?
-
For Cephalon Suda, imagine your frame wielding a Gammacor like weapon... on both arms, possibly on each leg too. The most likely type of a melee weapon from Suda is of the Fist/Sparring types... or a Rapier with lots of thrust animations, but a "hands on" melee weapon I think would be much more entertaining.

Sorry for the long time to respond. Even with the 50% magazine it still has less damage per shot, less burst DPS, and slightly less sustained DPS. Status effects make a huge difference when trying to kill high level heavy units, especially corrosive (when no Corrosive Projections are used) or viral (when 4 Corrosive Projections are used). They can even be big help in clearing weaker trash mobs if you use a gas/electric combo for the extra AOE. To say a boost in status chance wouldn't matter is wrong.
I see what you mean when saying the Boltor series is meant for dealing high damage and not status but we've seen that DE doesn't mind changing how a weapon is built with the syndicate version. The Vaykor Hek traded the high multishot of the regular Hek for a critical hit build and the Synoid Gammacor traded the moderate damage and fire rate of regular Gammacor for lower damage but significantly more fire rate.
Reload speed might give it a slight edge in sustained DPS but it would still lack in damage per shot. You would end up spending more ammo for kills and run dry much sooner than you would with Boltor Prime.
You see, there is the problem. What you are asking for is a weapon to be more powerful then its Primed counterpart. The only place where you can find that right now, and lets be honest, hoping it remains there and doesn't spread, that location is Conclave PvP. Also from what I can tell by looking at the stats, the Synoid Simulor does more damage then the regular Simulor, in a per shot basis. The Vortex will have less damage when it is formed because it requires less shots to be formed. The Vaykor Hek may or may not allow the Syndicate mod to be equipped later, will probably have to wait for some info about the Multishot rework, plus consider this, by saying it traded Multishot, it is then being phrased as though it has a higher base pellet count, instead being a mod, thus looking at the Hek vs the Vaykor Hek unmodded, the Vaykor Hek is a straight upgrade from the Hek.
Changing the reload speed on the Telos Boltor to be faster then the Boltor Prime is not something to make it kill things faster then the Boltor Prime, but would give an increase in utility, which would mean that in situations where a Telos Boltor and a Boltor Prime kill an enemy at the same rate, which is usually VERY fast with the Prime, the Telos Boltor is already going to kill more enemies faster from those extra shots in the clip, and would become even more paramount by a faster reload. At what level of enemies do you even notice the Telos isn't killing as fast as the Prime?

Nah, wait for Thursday first.

Seer, i've been using it since i started playing because i wanted a trophy for killing vor and it's useful unlike the prime pistols.
If this was a contest... I think you just won.
Atterax all the way
Simulor and now the synoid version
And i really want to love the Ignis, but i only use it with Ember or low level misions
Would the fact that the Ignis can detonate missiles help? Think it has to still do Heat damage for it to detonate them, but imagine the gratification you would get from roasting a Bombard, and anytime he shoots, it blows up in his face. Your revenge on the Corrupted Bombards for being introduced to T3 and T4.

Blast/Elect Status Serro. It's actually one of my mains.
Got a Lasting Sting on that with Primed Reach too? That's how I run the Serro with Vauban.
-
The only way for it to happen is for Warframe to be done. No more tweaks, bug fixes, no new reworking on the game (Melee 2.0, Parkour 2.0, Multishot 2.0, etc.), because at that point, they can concentrate more on having all 3 systems at the same point, and just release new weapons, frames, and missions... and any bugs that occur from cross platform play.
I would personally love to run my Prisma'd Obsidian Excalibur using the Dera Vandal alongside an Excalibur Prime, a... Xbox skinned Excalibur (forgot the name of their skin) and lets make the fourth one a Rubedo skinned Rhino.

Generally if your goal is crits, its a good idea to do so on a weapon that works well with crits. Primed Pistol Gambit with 180% multishot means you are practically guaranteed a crit... but the problem is the base 1.5x crit multiplier. You would probably get more from using pure elemental mods, or maybe a Seeker mod and a elemental damage mod/4th Dual Status Elemental... maybe even a Stunning Speed... I THINK 3 Dual Status Elemental mods and Stunning Speed puts it at 100% Status Chance.
Since you plan on using Blind Justice, Crit based is definitely more viable. Jagged Edge is probably not the best one to put on, if it were a Buzzkill, then by all means. Instead try it with Focus Energy or another Elemental mod there for 3 Elemental mods total. Use Organ Shatter over Rendering Strike.

I used the Boar Prime ALOT before update 17, long before Primed Point Blank was released. While most would use Coptering weapons, my still most used weapon is the Galatine, though before I got the Galatine my most used weapon was the Kogake. I main the Dera Vandal, Mara Detron and Obsidian skinned Prisma Skana on my Obsidian skinned Excalibur with double Trickery (I like the shinyness). Still love the Pyranna, especially with the Primed Pistol Gambit, and since I'm every now and then leveling/forma'ing weapons, that's all that comes to mind at the moment, but could of sworn there were other weapons I would run alot that were underrated... though I feel like I should mention that one of my least used weapons that were not just Mastery Fodder is the Boltor Prime, and feeling I would probably use the Telos more.

*cough* +50% magazine *cough*
You do realize that when it comes to Boltor weapons and inflicting a Status Effect, its just Fire Rate. Increasing Status Chance on it would make it inflict Status Effects more often of course and be more viable for the Elemental/Status mods... but would it really matter? Difference of maybe 3 seconds if you use those mods instead of straight up elemental mods. The Boltor series are designed for dishing out base pure damage, and lets be honest, not only would a base Status Chance of 15% make it stray from that line, but DE would probably reduce its Fire Rate. Possibly a Fire Rate of 6. If anything, a change in reload speed would give it a slight advantage over the Boltor Prime, while not directly giving it more DPS and not straying from the Boltor series.

Try running without out, being mobile, and only using it when the situation becomes dire, like low health, or a teamate is bleeding out, thats how I play atleast, so I get to enjoy my Rhino's visuals nicely :)
I don't use Iron Clad Charge, I just use my sprint speed of 1.7 and what armour I got from using Armored Agility... possibly Steel Fiber too if its a Nightmare mission, but then I generally will use IS at the start since usually there isn't any dedicated healers.
-
You guys got it all wrong, TWIN GALATINE's... or perhaps, ONE GALATINE AND ONE SCINDO IN EACH HAND!!!
I'll let the imagination of your frame coming into a room and drawing out those weapons and using them blow your own minds :)
-
So a cross between the Lobster Trinity and the Reaper Nekros?
-
Just for the record, I usually main Rhino Prime, but in a speed Rhino set up. Sure I kill most of the enemies usually, but thats without Iron Skin, and I usually only use Stomp and Skin if things are starting to get hairy and allies are bleeding out. 90% of the time all of my kills will come from just using weapons, and the occasional kick to the face :) Only once have I ever had someone question my lack of using Iron Skin, and it was a Try Hard Trinity in a Dark Sector Defence thinking it his because of him that I was still alive, when the Toxic Damage barely even scratched me, but was killing the new Ember player. Actually, did kill the new Ember player when the Trinity said he would stop healing me because I corrected him in how much of my longevity I owed him... so ya, more relaxed Rhino Prime player here that likes to also use other frames that are not always meta, vs a Trinity that thinks they are a god... gotta love this game :)

Ya, someone told me through messaging yesterday. I was thinking more along the lines of Controller only, not game mechanics for controls.

I won't lie, I have NEVER seen nor heard of an ADS button on the Playstation Controller, and have no idea what it is abreviated to. Even googling it didn't help.
Is The Snipetron A Joke?

Most likely, yes. Just look at the rereleased Wraith weapons for proof, and the fact it wasn't put out as a closed beta exclusive.
