A Good AoE DPS warframe

[TDIDiamond]

Hello everyone, im looking for a power efficent, area of effect dps frame. Prefferably not ember because i hate the press 4 to win mindset. For sortie level enemies. Would be appreaciated if you can post a build along side the frame you are mentioning, Focus is primarily grineer. Any opinions would be gladly appreaciated!

some factors of it are linked , some are not

example

the aoe area amps up berserker if it deals a critical but the aoe is not affected by combo counter, but it is affected by blood rush 

  condition overload is active aoe can deal big spikes of damage also

i'm sure i'm gonna find tons of them after i get the first one from someone

edit: gas count as 2 elements (gas and toxin) or only toxin will be present on enemies?

gas deals a gas damage then multiple toxic procs, so if you hit with gas you can in effect get 2 elements at the same time due to aoes constant barrage of them

175% efficiency 250% range spam avalanche

 

Please don't. Avalance disables status.

 

My recommendations are Mesa (reset from time to time - among the highest damage option)

Saryn (aoe dots that spread)

Excal (EB build. Not aoe per se but it works just fine with the punch trough.)

Nidus (Same but pulls enemys together. Big wind up.)

Oberon (his ground plus Reckoning under heavy fire on a rage/high strength build gives suprisingly good results while offering tankiness and Cc too. Performs best in higher levels tho.)

Nezha (Just run around the field with his first ability. Use the augument for burst damage on deactivation.)

Technically, my suggestion isn't a "DPS" frame, but Saryn/Saryn Prime WITH a suitable toxin/gas status weapon.

Optimally, for best effect you want to go with maximum range, with positive duration and strength. I personally bolster duration over strength, but inverting the order would bolster her damage for more immediate results. The key is to apply toxin or gas to a target first, then apply her Spores to that target, then pop the spores. This specific order of casting has the spores carry the toxin proc to all enemies in Spore's spread range (with 250% range, 40m radius), and then it's simply a matter of popping spores on the victims of the spread to keep reapplying spores carrying that toxin proc back to all enemies in range. It can get into pretty crazy DOTs all across your screen, with the added bonus of every Spore victim is also suffering a Viral proc, halving their health.

I personally don't need positive efficiency, with sufficient enemy density I can keep a single Spore cast active for 10+ minutes.

 

My personal build is:

AURA: Corrosive Projection/Energy Siphon

EXILUS: Cunning Drift

Overextended, Stretch, Power Drift/Constitution, Primed Continuity, Blind Rage, Regenerative Molt, Vitality, Steel Fiber

People need to stop talking about this.
I'm literally seeing a rise in the number of Mesas and Equinox I run into in pub games. :(

I'm really worried they'll nerf my two frames once people start playing them more and DE takes note. :(

[rudman88]

go for slova.

it makes live very convienient

[(PSN)purpleskullgamin]

Note how most people are either saying zenistar or a press 4 to win frame? With the expectation of octiva speakers? Those are pretty much your options. Unless you want to take into account Nidus which i don't think anyone has brought up also the guy above me stated slova, that press 4 to win would help the team aswell.  I'd suggest either one of two things. Slova/Amprex Combo or Nidus.

Also for the sake of everyone don't be a limbombing d0uchebag unless you're solo playing not being able to use your weapons as much is annoying as hell.

Lol, such an inflammatory response.

 

OP, try Volt Prime with Capacitance and Range on his 4.  Volt enhances all weapons with his powers in multiple ways so has some similarities to Ember but is more fun and engaging...though Ember at high levels has augments that make her a CC monster if you mod right.

One Tenno's opinion.

The skill-based AoE frames have been covered already, here some ideas for weapon-based AoE frames. They're forma-intense, though.

Mirage with Ignis Wraith (with Sinister Reach and Firestorm):
Hits harder and further than Ember but you have to "aim". Often it's kill em before you see em. Enemy Radar's helpful here. Always fun to outdamage an Ember on Exterminate runs . To cite D.va: "Is this EZ-Mode?!"

Yes, it is.

Harrow and Scourge (with Terminal Velocity and Speedtrigger):
Constant AoE spam with Scourge and Penance. Downside: you only can damage targets that ain't blocked off by wall. Still it's great fun as it takes a bit more skill. Doing the ballet (keeping up Penance and Thurible Buff and sometimes Covenant) is a very satisfying gaming experience.
