What Are Channeling Mods?

[SelfDeceit]

I've looked everywhere on the wiki. And I don't know if they are mods for your Warframe or mods for your Melee weapon.

They go on your melee weapon and affect channeling.

That was the fastest reply on any forum I've been on. Thanks!

Channeling mods affect how well your channeling works.

Efficiency mods basically affect how much energy is absorbed

Damage mods affect the amount of damage your channeling does to enemies.

 

Several mods have a drastic downgrade to efficiency but upgrade things like melee speed or status chance.

channeling is an action for any melee weapon. what it basically does is it increases dmg at the expense of energy on each strike. with the channeling mods, you can lower the energy required for each strike, thus increasing energy economy.

We aim to please. 

 

Keep in mind some mods like life strike, enduring strike, and the others that say channeling but affect actual stats will only take effect while channeling is active.

Just to clarify to the OP, channelling is achieved by equipping your melee weapon (hold "F") and then holding down left mouse button. There'll be a "pchaaow" noise, and your weapon will glow/tingle with energy. Channelling mods' effects will only be active in this mode, e.g. Life Strike will only steal enemies' health with each channelled melee hit.

I like that onomatopoeia :P Thanks for the tip!
