Brandr_ Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 A lot of people think I noob Mesa by using peacemaker, when in reality I use Staggeshield for the 99% bullet defense And people mistake my valkyr for Hysteria, when in reality I build for straight HP, as much as I can put on, yes, even redirection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrn Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) For the longest time, even before both buffs Frost has received, I've always much preferred an offensive max range+efficiency with some power strength build. Offensive Frost just works so well. I can't tell you how many games I joined where people fussed at me (some even got angry) for not using Snow Globe. Even when I froze entire rooms for several seconds (and could keep refreezing) because of that old bug with Overextended, people still thought Snow Globe was his only good ability. edit: I tried to tell them, but the idea of a non-Snow Globe build was just inconceivable.

(PSN)PillarOfWar Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Back when you could take abilities off. I would always play a dive bomb Zephyr because its hilarious and fun. And the guy on Secura Pluto taxied his friend and kept asking for tornados and could not understand I didn't have it equipped. And would not shut up about how good it is and how much dive bomb sucks. I wished for friendly fire in that game. And my dive bombs bring all the boys to the yard... Damn right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare047 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I also play blind or half&half Excalibro over Exalted Excalibro. Same here. Not easy to find blind or balanced excalibros out there. Exalted Excalibro is master of blade while balanced Excalibro is master of gun AND blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vane- Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 How close do you have to be for that? I know it's pretty damn useful but the range requirement kind of kills it. I just yell: SMOKE TIME, mark the spot and team gets close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Unonemous Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Oh, the woes of the Duration Mesa players. How I know your pain. Nevermind the fact that we're giving everyone constant revolving CC and damage boosts. They just want to sit around on their shiny asses >_>Also: Shoutout to the other Undying Saryns that are meant to stay alive forever, and not just nuke everything <3 And let's not forget the Shield Tank/Fracture Mag players that still get yelled at by the majority of the playerbase. I applaud anyone that gets creative and has fun outside of the lazy, monotonous meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artekkor Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Too bad, i mainly play Rhino so i'm likely to be asked to change the whole frame since people dont see me as a useful player. Too bad. Who else will stun all enemies in range and give them that 90% damage boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelisImpurrator Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 For the longest time, even before both buffs Frost has received, I've always much preferred an offensive max range+efficiency with some power strength build. Offensive Frost just works so well. I remember, before the Frost rework, how fun it was to build minimum duration on that max range Frost. Snow Globe was hilarious as instant mass CC. Well, now you can blow up the globes and do something similar, but the old way meant not blocking shots until you throw a Freeze. Still haven't gotten used to not being able to fire and forget the things, though. When people expect my tank/melee build volt to be pure duration speed volt. What's the tank variant? I build for Speed to be a slightly glassy melee, but a non-squishy option sounds like a good time. I applaud anyone that gets creative and has fun outside of the lazy, monotonous meta. Actually, that's an interesting thing to say... I used to think Warframe had no good meta, but in a sense, this is it. Finding certain devastatingly effective combinations that don't have to sacrifice all fun or put the frame on autopilot to roll unbelievable amounts of face. If I had the right mods and a forma or two I'd play duration Mesa a bit more. So little forma and time, though... My Mag weirdly has the most berserker-like playstyle of all my frames. Shieldtanking is immortal up until the 35 minute difficulty spike, so besides polarizing the room to death I just rush in and hammer nullies with a Jat Kittag or something... still need to test Fracturing out, though, it sounds like a blast. I just yell: SMOKE TIME, mark the spot and team gets close. Just saying, though - a team that actually communicates well enough to make use of Smoke Shadow is as rare as a Smoke Shadow build. Unless you mean you play the guy exclusively with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalMagic Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Bounce Mine Vauban when expected to be vortex vauban."Dude, why aren't you using vortex?! You're lucky no enemies are showing up.""Come here and look at this.""...Lol. Keep up the good work."Literally set up soooo many bounces in one spot, it becomes an impassable wall for enemies.Then I repeat at a second point.

Homer87 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I play duration Mesa. People want me to spam Peacemaker, or better yet, go to Draco or do a defense with them and spam Peacemaker there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyLagging Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Duration Mesa, blind Mirage outside of raids, blind Excal, Seeking Shuriken Ash, Firequake pure CC Ember with no str and max duration/range. ( That last build is completely stupid and doesn't work by the way. ) Using self-buffs/CC/utilities and actually shooting things with your guns is apparently considered weird.

Kinetos Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 No one said anything, probably didn't even notice, but once I took Banshee to Infested Mobile Defense armed only with a Dragon Nikana. Spammed Silence with no range mods. It was ridiculously fun, and the match ended with my having taken 0% damage and top damage and kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatpig84 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I play a Frost with duration. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttt. Then they realized their Peace Maker Mesa was doing triple it's base damage. With Freeze Force. And it is a buff that last 40+ seconds. Then they shut up. A strong globe or chilling globe is fine if you are going for 60 to 80 waves. But if you are going for 40 waves, might as well shoot harder amirite ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead_Rabbits Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's pretty funny how their mind get blown by just telling them you're using a duration build, they're pretty much like this: "Whaaat? Why wouldn't you use Peacemaker?" yare yare daze.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
