Ignis Wraith Modding Help?

[zileus]

So I was lucky enough to be in a clan to win the Ignis Wraith and catalyst. The next thing to do now is how do I mod it? I want to know how to mod it in terms of maximum damage output but as well as the more important realized damage output. Trying to mitigate the ammo consumption of Warframe's former gratata flamethrower is quite hard since I really prefer a crit/status - centric build. 

Right now, I'm sure of adding the elemental status mods (unless I get a status/crit Riven). 102% status is super beneficial, especially on gas damage (RIP CORPUS). What I'm not sure of is how much crit mods I need to invest in regards to combating severe ammo consumption. Adding a point strike gives is 30% crit chance from its base of 12%.

What is the perfect balance? What does the most damage? What is the best build against grineer? As we can see from the euphonia, status trumped against the crit-centric build. What do I do with this weapon? 

I have 1 forma right now, but I don't know what polarities will provide with the most variability so I can interchange mods for different playstyles.

ahh, i see, well at least i got to see its polarities, so thanks to OP for that

[zileus]

its 1 formad so no innate polarities

[Myscho]

Spli chamber, vital sense

[hukurokuju5]

decide if you want status or raw damage. then you'll know what polarities to use

[zileus]

do we really need multishot for this?

[Hemmo67]

add split chamber, and ammo mutation/reload/riven/firestorm

[Sahrijae]

Thats my Ignis builds Im using. Ill be modding Wraith probably the same.

 

[zileus]

wat about continuous misery 100% status duration? think of gas damage spread think of the armor strip. does this need specialist mods?

[bluepheonix13]

You need to mod it for crit or it will be weaker than normal Ignis. I would recommend you use Point Strike AND Vital Sense.

Well. Name one weapon that doesnt need multishot. Also Heavy cal and the accuracy negative is super beneficial to the Ignis.

[zileus]

but the Ignis is a niche weapon. Just because an increase of multishot to its burst, doesn't mean its the optimal thing to do right? Wont dps over time suffer due to the fact it becomes an ammo hose? Also, why is the spread from heavy caliber beneficial, increased hitboxes?

yep HC increases aoe and damage so its perfect on the weapon. Also firestorm is very good to increase the aoe even more.

Thoughts on continuous misery and gas damage?

I use only gas damage, but continous misery feels like a waste of slot to me. I instead use Serration, HC Split chamber, firestorm and 4 elementals (2 heat and 2 toxin)

[zileus]

in regards to facing corpus i mean. Sorry.

I dont really change up my builds that much, but i also moslty use this weapon with saryn and she doesnt care what faction her enemies belong to :P

[zileus]

:( im just so interested with the weapon because instead of an  elemental weapon, it just got so flexible given the tiny increase in stats! my normal ignis has 0 forma.

Mutalist Quanta is questionable on Multi-shot and the same goes for Castanas/Penta if looking to Place these items especially if using Tether Grenades for CC. (Those projectile placement limits, being the only real reason. Harpak/Paracyst secondary-fire also dislikes Multi-shot, but those weapons tend to have more downsides if a player is trying to mod for both Primary & Secondary fire.)

 

Ignis though...I would say Multi-shot is beneficial. I also strongly concur in regards to Heavy Caliber as it is just better.

[Fallen_Echo]

Add in heavy caliber, firestorm,serration these should be the base mods.

Add in sinister reach if you want to go for maximum range and spread.

For the left mod spaces its up to you.

Using Vile aceleration to increase fire rate/damage is a good idea or not? To me it seems to increase the ammo consumption too much.
