I'm currently Mastery Rank 4, almost 5, between 600-700 conclave on two of my frames, having a little trouble getting a power spike to get to the next step.
Mag - I haven't touched this frame since Valkyr finished, power built w/o pull augment
Nyx - Still being levelled, I'm not even sure I like this frame yet. Having issues with bolts, first ability is single target? Frame isn't levelled enough for duration to be enjoyable. Using early missions to level, end up killing all of my controlled units anyway because there aren't enough mobs for it to be useful.
Oberon - On the way, been excited about getting this frame since I saw him
Trinity - Have one piece trying to get a group together to help me get the others
Weapons:
Primary: Dread, Cernos, MK-1 Paris
Secondary: Mk-1 Kunai, AkZani, Gammacor
Melee: Ankyros, Atterax, Cronus, Mk-1 Bo, Hate, working on Kronen
I think I have a good feel for what weapons I want to go with, and despite really enjoying Bows, they're overshadowed by automatics, and I'm missing Speed Trigger. Double crits are too satisfying to put down, though, yet it seems more statistically better to go with the following:
Puncture + Radiation Primary for Armored Targets
Impact + Magnetic/Viral for Shielded Targets
Slash + Corrosive for Flesh/Infested
I've spent weeks pouring over and cross referencing the wiki with the codex, making tables and charts, since updated guides seem to be few and far between. Most opinions on the "best" weapons, or even "good" weapons, are nothing I have immediate access to until I start trading or outright purchase them with plat. Luckily I sold almost all of my DotA2 items and got a 20% coupon for plat, so I picked up 170 and split it down the middle with my fiance.
The closest I'm getting to for statistically best weapons are the Paris Prime and AkBronco Prime, though I'm still a ways off for the AkBronco. I think my Atterax serves just fine for what I want for Melee, and what that doesn't do for me, I really enjoy what videos show the Kronen doing.
As far as Frames, it seems everyone is looking for Frost, Trinity, and Nekros. I'd like to get Loki for solo-ing, and was talked out of picking him as my starter frame way back when he was available. The closest I'm able to get is Trinity, and while I can do Phobos missions, my weapons are suck for Kril, but Vor is easy pickings for Valkyr's Hysteria. I think Nyx could really help me out on this one, but god is it difficult to pick out what the most efficient ways to get XP are.
So far, I've been farming keys out on Earth, Cambria Excavation, and doing T 1-3 Capture missions for credits and getting a decent amount of cores out of the combination.
I'm not really sure what I can do to give myself a power spike with Mag or Valkyr, and I know that Nyx is considered to be a good frame to have on a team, but I'm not really sure she's for me. Past that, her kit seems to be as boring as running D2 Necro or Druid pet builds. Just run around and mind control everyone and watch them pick eachh other off. Useful, but a fun sucker.
So, what am I doing wrong here, how misinformed am I, and what can I do right now to able to progress? Should I farm out Ember, Rhino, or when I break 5, Hydroid?
What primaries should I use to break away from bows? I love them for stealth missions, but I feel useless in Defense while everyone else runs around with their OP AoE abilities mercing everything before I can get a shot off.
What I've learned so far from this thread:
1. Karak = Soma Jr. Soma Prime is ideal.
2. Loki/Prime = Amazing Solo Potential, focus speed running tower missions w/ melee, Spy Missions for easy XP
3. Draco = 4 Waves Maxes Frame, called Dracobotting, pathetic yet effective way to play, rep farm supreme
4. Synoid Gammacor + Vaykor Marelok = Best Secondaries
5. Latron & Boltor Prime = Great Starters for Prime Weaps
6. Serration, Heavy Caliber, Dual Status, Multishot = Max weapon potency mods
7. Great Secondary progression = Lex to AkLex
8. Build Nyx around Chaos, assuming +duration +range mods (edit: Don't go dur, can't recast)
9. Mercury - Apollodorus, Saturn - Cassini = Great easily accessible XP locations
10. Warframebuilder.com good reference, considered unreliable/unfavorable however
11. Bronco/Shotguns Bad, Except on Carrier, Don't Ignore Carrier
Question

I'm currently Mastery Rank 4, almost 5, between 600-700 conclave on two of my frames, having a little trouble getting a power spike to get to the next step.
First, I have the following Frames:
Valkyr - Atterax Crit-built w/ R5 Arm+HP, Crit-built Dread w/ R5 Serration, AkZani
Mag - I haven't touched this frame since Valkyr finished, power built w/o pull augment
Nyx - Still being levelled, I'm not even sure I like this frame yet. Having issues with bolts, first ability is single target? Frame isn't levelled enough for duration to be enjoyable. Using early missions to level, end up killing all of my controlled units anyway because there aren't enough mobs for it to be useful.
