Why?

[(XBOX)WickedGit]

I'm MR22, got 1k days login a while back and my weapons and frames can vaporize level 120 heavy gunners in Simularcrum easily. So why, when I load into the very first node on the star chart in Steel Path get one shot by level 101 grunt-level Grineer. Why can I not even scratch them without resorting to my trusty Condition Overload Lesion? Sure I can strip armor with Ash but in Simulacrum I don't have to do this with significantly higher level units? Just curious. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it's supposed to be?

Thanks for your comments, Guys. 

It would appear normal starchart content, presenting little challenge, has made me complacent and lazy. Instead of running through a mission melting enemies without a thought I need to work at Steel Path as if starting the game anew. Fair enough. Now I know I haven’t missed anything obvious I shall enjoy stripping armour and dealing death across the system!

Good thought process. Best of luck mate :)

I hoped you also realized that the enemies in Simulacrum are not reflecting the bumped up stats that enemies receive in Steel Path.

... I find it interesting him pointing out really low TTK on SP with ranged weapons... When properly built ones actually kill fast enough...

 

... I call his hypocrisy "BR CO Berserk"-holic... Quick, someone send that guy to detox.

Hehe I do agree. I call the symptom for this "blind youtube worship".

Ain't nothin' but a heartache... Ain't nothin' but a mistake... I never wanna hear Grineer say, corrosive and heat, make armour go away! Basically though yeah, as you already know, Steel Path enemies are pretty beefy. At least initially if you treat them like they are slightly higher level star chart enemies or Simulacrum enemies. Once you optimise your set up, run for their weaknesses etc debuff them with abilities, strip defences with appropriate elemental combos, they start to go back to being relatively squishy again. 

 

Good luck!

Melee is still gonna be king, now you're just spreading false info.

Why people don't want it nerfed? For me the question is can you really think of a better way to play SP? I can't, aside from using debuffs alot more...probably the way to do it obviously. Those gun mods aren't gonna help whatsoever, because guns still have a really low time to kill on SP. This is literally my only complaint, I'm worried that SP is gonna be tedious AF now due to the changes. 

Bit hypocritical don't you think? Maybe don't judge him quite so harshly and explain why instead.

It should be pointed out that those who rely on melee to get you thru steel path that gig is up. DE is nerfing melee.

Stop listening blindly to what youtubers tell you, most of them suck at the game.

tl;dr

Level 101 in sp are not actually lv101. They're lv101++

Also, you might already know -but it's never too late to get used to it: getting one shotted is the only way to die in warframe.

You need to practice. Sometimes things are the players fault and no one elses.

[(PSN)Gentleman_Raven_]

Why? Steel Path is meant to be challenging, and if you're struggling it means you may need to improve your mods or builds.

I have had good success with Wukong Prime with Roar replacing his 4th ability. 

Good hunting Tenno.

Steel Path enemies are a bit tougher than normal enemies. They have 2.5 times the health, armor and shields of normal enemies their level. It says so on the Star Chart too.
