0 Autongnosis Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Generally speaking: take the Tonkor. The Tonkor doesn't care. Then agai if you want something more specific, you'll need to be a little more precise on what you mean by "endgame" .-. If you want a rule of thumb - syndicate primaries are all good bar the telos boltor (side/downgrade to Boltor Prime - scrap it). Crit sidearms have become the new uber thing since they have both crit mods primed. Lex Prime was buffed to 150 base damage on top of that. Go figure. You haven't done The Second Dream yet, but in that quest you get a weapon that's... Omg. Won't say anymore because spoilers, but it's super duper amazing. Shotguns got buffed a lot so now Hek/Tigris/Sobek are all real good. Snipers got changed, i personally lost touch with the way they play now, but i guess you should try them. They do even more damage now whn aimed btw. Edited January 6, 2016 by Autongnosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (PSN)YankeeClippah Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 90 min surv, 85 waves def, endgame area and I have done second dream but i hate melee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (PSN)A_SimpleName Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 For 90 mins T4 Survival, the general Tonkor (about 5 formas) will do fine. You'll need more specialize weapons for longer. As for 85 waves T4 defense, you're better off relying on warframe's abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SuperAga Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) 90 min surv, 85 waves def, endgame area and I have done second dream but i hate melee I assume you're planning to go with a group, which means 4 Corrosive Projection and various debuffs which increases the amount of viable weapons. Tonkor, Synoid Simulor, Vaykor Hek, Sancti Tigris, Vaykor Marelok, Lex Prime and Rakta Cernos, might be 1 or 2 I forgot. As for Warframes, not sure much has changed in the last 10 months in terms of cookie cutter builds, Trinity, Nova, Frost, Loki, Banshee, Vauban, Mag and Excalibur, depending on the mission type. I think Radial Disarm (Loki Augment) would be new for you, which made Nyx's Chaos essentially redundant. Though If you are going to be doing those things solo the only gun options would be Tonkor and maybe Synoid Simulor. Frames would be Chroma, Trinity or Loki. Valkyr would arguably be the best, but she's melee and you said you don't like that. Edited January 6, 2016 by SuperAga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, im building formaing chroma now he is perfect for the type of gameplay that I enjoy just tank a bunch of damage and put out a bunch of damage while running around getting right in front of the enemies. I had a great Valky or build before but I really don't like her very much just because it's all melee. I do already have a radial disarm build that was shortly before I left and Loki has always been my go to frame I'm just looking to do a few different things, I have rebuilt frost to coincide with the rework and he is excellent now I am also working on Saryn as she was my favorite frame but she is taking some getting used to to say the least. Ill go with the syndicate hek for awhile and see where it leads me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R5 cores + T3/4 keys is Heiracon, Pluto Excavation. R5 cores + T2/3 keys is Triton, Neptune Excavation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, for T3 keys, i had better luck with the Dark Sector Excavations on Phobos and Europa (around 75% of T3 keys vs my usual 33% of Triton).

0 Smokinwaffles43 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I just use the dragon nikana non-stop for however long i need it. I have run t4 defenses to 50 mins and I have yet to see the damage of the thing fall out. It's an absolute monster for endgame dps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
