Orthos Prime Build Advice

[(PSN)ratchetcool44]

I just got my Orthos Prime a couple days ago and I put a catalyst on it. Any tips on how to mod it? I have the Cit. Change, Crit, Damage, Damage, Parry, Reach, and Channel damage mod on it. Anyone have any tips on how to mod it?

For a specific faction? or general?

Also... Channeling mods or no?

I am wanting a powerful build. any build is worth trying.

If you don't have the 2nd Poison (cicero) mod you can get it again after U13.7 comes out next week...  This Corrosive Based build is mostly what I used in the void...  Corrosive gets no penalty and 75% boost on things like those corrupted heavy gunners which are hard to kill at high rank... Works well against all except infested, for them change from corrosive to gas (Fire + Toxin) ....  Costs 3 energy to channel, 110% damage boost while channeling.   http://goo.gl/eeu3rC

 

If you don't like  channeling, try swapping killing blow for reach (60% range boost makes orthos spin attack kill by the dozen) or for a smite mod for the class you are playing.  Any other questions feel free 2 ask

 

<Edit>Corrosive gets boost against all kinds of ancients too and no penalties to any infested so boo need to change it to gas actually... Consider Radiation ply viral for normal starchart grineer or corpus(Viral and Toxin) missions though<Edit>

Another combo that has worked for me is radiation and viral if you can't do the double of the same  (Corrosive or Gas).

1. Pressure Point, Fury - 2 mods you must have.

2. Reach / Unranked Life Strike - if you want to strike more mobs, choose the first. If you want survivability, choose the latter.

3. Spoiled Strike / Bane mod - install Spoiled Strike if speed doesn't bother you, or a Bane mod for less bonus damage but to keep the speed.

4. Elemental Combos:

4.1. Void - Corrosive + Cold.

4.2. Infested - Corrosive + Heat.

4.3. Grineer - Radiation + Viral.

4.4. Corpus - Magnetic + Toxin.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Side note: it is never worth building for channeling. A good damage build will always outpower a channeling build.

Spoiled Strike Pressure Point and Fury are all musts...  1.32 attack speed still with them on versus base speed of 1.2 is still an overall gain in attack speed...  As for elemental u are spot on:)
