You don't get partial credit for an incomplete extractor and the waves don't get easier, and the extractors don't scale very well. On SP I've been in a position with certain frames (Loki even with irradiating disarm) where I couldn't clear a single extractor.
I suppose this is true for defense objectives in general though - that one moon defense node on SP, for example - Stofler. And like the other person mentioned below for mobile defense.
I think the big limiter here would be excavation maps. Zephyr would be my pick, as long as I can also use some sort of operator mode for spy, but i don't think it's strictly necessary. An un-forma'd Zephyr is steel path capable. ETA: 100% projectile defense for you and the thing you're standing next to is just too good.
I mean, my Soma Prime is probably only powerful because of its riven. Does that count? I really enjoy guns that spew bullets but just keep firing.
I wonder if the speed at which it degrades can be used to detect AI-generated content.
I remember when Warframe had Pay For Revives. Not sure if that was Steve.
But many things in Warframe are much more player friendly these days.
Next up on Dwarves, Dungeons, and Doom...
You put so much effort into your post but my simplistic answer is: we put TV trays next to the players. Like the kind you use while sitting on a couch, not lap trays - the ones that have legs down to the floor.
I'm trying to build a flossing habit, myself
Right now I'm using Gyre to make it an "AoE" weapon with Cathode Grace/Rotorswell/Cathode Current, since this always crits, but single targets are intended to be killed by slash procs. I'm using a Panzer Vulpaphyla for Viral primer. I stacked base damage for the Hunter Munitions slash procs. I'm using Primary Merciless with the intention of bleed effect kills counting, but I'm not sure if they proc Primary Merciless or not. Incarnon mode feels like it shortens TTK but not by an extreme amount.
The riven's effects on the current build are visible in the display.
Some specific questions:
Should I be using Hata-Satya here? What would you remove?
Thoughts on what I should subsume over Gyre's 1? Tharros Strike seems redundant with the concept of slash procs even though it turns things into swiss cheese anyway. Roar is a staple (and I guess it would help rotorswell), but is there something else? Maybe Nourish for viral and using a sentinel companion for the vigilante set's chance to enhance critical hits? Of course I don't have Grendel yet so that'll be a bit of a chore :)
Are there other warframes that might work better to make up for Soma's single target style?
Should I swap out Critical Delay, since the riven on its own puts me at 93.4% crit (plus Cathode Grace), or is the extra 60% for 7.9x normal/8.8x incarnon worth it?
Is the riven as good as it seems, or would you re-roll? What would you look for?
I don't think the status is high enough for the new cold procs to help, or I would consider those.
"Tape measure"
I measured my fists. Does well enough.
I see lots of posts here saying the blackout is bad. I just wanted to say that I like the blackout. Thanks.
I haven't done it outside of SP for a while. I know Duviri gives partial credit. Maybe normal does?
