NovaKiller Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Well you might wanna justify why you put the mods on the glaive. If you don't know if the elemental mods work, might wanna test, and replace the crit with it. Since for as long as i have tried it, it did not crit. So why have mods that do nothing. Might as well take them off, put some of the elemental on to try, and if they add good crit, you put it back on. And i have not seen any big difference on using Charge speed on the glaive.

Skulliedoo Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Elemental mods work. At least my Shocking Touch procs on my glaive.Yet to test any of the other mods. Edit; Also, might want to update; "Bounces into a random direction when hitting an enemy." As it also bounces into a random direction when hitting anything else. In addition, rename the index; "Moding The Glaive" Should be; "Modding the Glaive" (Unless I missed something and you meant it differently) And "I'm don't know if the elemental mods or the crit damage mods will work in the future." Replace "I'm" with "I" Edited May 1, 2013 by Skulliedoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valedrel Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I have not seen the glaive do crits so i am pretty sure the crit mods are useless. Elements do work on the blade, because enemies do get slowed if you have ice on it. You will be throwing the thing more than doing normal attacks because the damage and speed on it is still pretty bad. I would remove the fury mod and replace it with another element as well as dropping the pressure point mod. Even with 3x damage on infected you need to swing like mad. Using the weapon for anything close range is useless you should just use the primary or secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wriith Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) ... I suppose this is a good example of how not to mod a glaive Not to sound offensive, but I pretty much agree. The fury, pressure point, organ shatter, and true steel all seem to be a pretty huge waste on the glaive. I'd suggest sticking with elemental mods to further increase its charge damage, because let's face it, that's the only reason anyone is ever going to tote the glaive around. Note: fury might not be a total waste; unsure how it affects the glaive. If it increases the swing speed when throwing like it increases the swing speed of other charge attacks, it might be useful to fill in the last ~9 mod points. Certainly lower priority than the charge mods and ele mods though, imo. Edited May 1, 2013 by Wriith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganwybas Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 DON'T ARMD ASH WITH GLAIVE! Big mistake. Glaive is for support Warframe,in 2st line defence with middle battle range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogotiss Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I know crit mods aren't necessary but I felt the need to add it anyway in case the devs decide to give it crits in the future, which I really think they should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogotiss Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Alright I just retried the elemental mods and they do work, for some reason they didn't before. I fix the guide and made corrections and added the crit damaging mods as a suggestion in case of an update giving the glaive crit ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty_Shuffler Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Why are you people putting Reflex Coil in the Polarity slot? Put either Fire or Shock Elemental in there and gain some extra Mod Points to spare. Edited May 1, 2013 by Shifty_Shuffler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybadger Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Why are you people putting Reflex Coil in the Polarity slot?

Worira Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) So... you're advising using a literally worthless mod for crit chance in the hypothetical event that the devs make it merely bad at some point in the future?

When you level it goes there at low level. We just forgot to switcharoo:) + Glaive does not suffer from lack of capacity. It has a weird setup. Thanks though ill change my soon.

Shifty_Shuffler Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I've just been mulling over this. If you are purely using it as a thrown weapon, then you could drop Pressure Point as it is only for normal attacks. This could be replaced with Fury (also takes 9 points when maxed) which will increase your throw speed further (there has been some conclusive tests on the wiki). Then If you switched the Reflex Coil position with either Shocking Touch or Molten Impact you would be left with 4 points to spare. The only option would be to put in Staggering Force giving you 7.5% Stun chance. Could work out nicely. I would try it out myself but I just don't have high enough level mods to easily tell the difference.
