Something Is Missing... (Oberon Void Build Request)

[mahmoud000007]

Here's my current build

 

And I still get too much lethal damage.

I am always spamming my ulti but still... I am taking too much damage.

Can someone come up with what I'm missing? i just want to wreck some corrupted @ss

Use hallowed ground to get rid of your procs then slam dunk the enemy

Found your problem. Quit treating your frame like all it can do is Reckoning -- Smite is a guaranteed knockdown and radiation proc on the initial target, and guaranteed puncture on all other targets. Basically damage mitigation, as a knockdown means no attacking, radiation means they might attack something else, and puncture reduces all damage dealt by the target for a bit. Hallowed Ground also gives an armor buff and prevents you from getting procced while in it, and Renewal is just your heal.

 

Seriously though, stop spamming ultimates. You've got three other skills that can help keep you alive. Use them.

I don't think that smite is effective in T4 Interception and  Interceptions in general

You don't use it for the damage, you use it for the utility (which, being what it is, scales). A knockdown is a knockdown, radiation is confusion, and puncture has always been -damage%, and because it's a percentage reduction and not a flat value, it remains useful.

Smite is a utility ability, it procs  radiation and stuns, giving you some time to kill using other means. Hallowed Ground is also very useful in this respect, especially if you can get a large group in it and use your Reckoning on them then. Your heal ability is also something you will want to remember you have, it gives you a heal over time effect, as well as removing any existing status effects on fully healed teammates. Overall, Oberon is a very useful support frame with a reasonably diverse set of abilities allowing for damage as well as healing support for the team. Good Luck and happy gaming.

That is good advice from Archistopheles, and I would also replace Steel Fiber with Reflex Guard.

Reflex Guard is rubbish and will lock you into animations to the point that you can't do anything. Given that Oberon has reasonably good armor and Hallowed Ground can increase it, Steel Fiber can stay and still be a good pick.

Matter of preference, really. I didnt like it for the longest time, then nearly maxed it and took it for a spin and now use it extensively. In my first time trying it I also felt annoyed by being locked into the blocking animation, but have then learned that a quick tap on my melee key or even clicking left mouse twice makes me instantly go into shooting mode.

I spam smite way more than ulti. Like others have said, it has great cc. You can also cast it in the middle of reloading and it doesn't interrupt the reload.

[Imaru]

Here's what I rock:

Techinally had no forma used, but U15 seems to have forgotten to remove the star. This build has gotten me through just about any mission I have gotten myself into. 

[APBladeX]

What you need my friend, is some range.

[MrJxt]

Oberon can be built tanky but he can't facetank like valkyr.

[Haukai]

How to use Broberon in the Void ? Well that's easy..

Just don't.
