Well you should start by grinding ducats. A lot of them. Baro came around this weekend, and he's selling quite a bit of pretty nice stuff. Some of it you'll want to get your hands on.

Here's a gif of what he's selling this weekend.

Those two stance mods are the stance mods for both of those weapon types, and they're both from events. Astral Twilight allows for the quick attack to be a short range throw, and Vermilion Storm just hits fast and hard.

Prisma Dual Cleavers are top tier. I've got 1 forma on mine and they hit just as hard as my Nikana Prime. 25% crit rating with 3.0x crit damage gets you some pretty big numbers, even with a basic mod setup.

Prisma Shade and Grakata aren't worth mentioning for anything other than mastery fodder, unless you want to make it something worth keeping for personal reasons. I'll be holding on to my Prisma Shade to see if I can make it something worth using.

Primed Pistol Gambit is worth getting since it's a primed mod, and it's a must have to make a crit secondary weapon viable. IE Twin Grakatas.

Then there's the skins and the beacons. I've got everything but the skins, and I can pass on the beacons for the time being. I'll farm to get the skins tomorrow when I get the time. I've also been farming for doubles of the prisma items for a friend since he's unable to get on this weekend, so it's going to be a long day in the void.  

I wanted to play Warframe all this week but the Overwatch beta has me like addicted ;-;.

Warframe lost a bunch of it's players as soon as the Overwatch beta opened. Maybe that's why they released the awesome Baro inventory?

They did a good job of having such an awesome Baro inventory over the weekend but it still didn't pull me over from the beta. I cri everytiem.  

Aw hell yeah.

Vauban Prime comes out in a week.

Now I can finally get him without waiting ages for his alert to show up.  

I'm anticipating the prime accessories package. I want shiny new things to wear  

****ing so hyped for Vauban rework.

His abilities look hilarious.  

Vauban Prime is coming today.

Am hyped?

Am hyped.  

It was released already. Still hyped.  

U 18.13 coming out today hopefully.

Seriously can't wait for Volt and Mesa changes.  

Dam. Excalibur' EB and Valkyr's Hysteria got hit with the nerfs. EB damage diminishs within range plus the built in RB on spin now costs 1/2 the energy of regular RB and Hysteria energy drain increases over time (but there is a cap) when using the ability plus the range in which she migrates damage got a bit increased so its either kill or enemies or run away. What you think of the nerfs 5hift? Needed or not?  

Ohohoho. It was definitely needed.

Basically, nerf every frame that promotes cancerous gameplay.

My only gripe about all this is the fact that it took FOREVER for DE to realize that these abilities were ****ing broken as hell.

When Excal received his rework, I was honestly shocked to see how borderline overpowered he was. Hell I even thought it was a bug that allowed his energy waves from EB to literally pass through objects and kill enemies all the way across the map.

But nah, DE just rolled with it and Excal became that one frame everyone used to basically play the game on easymode.

Trin and Mirage also deserved their nerfs but again, why the hell were they even like this to begin with?

Its such a **** move to let these frames remain in their broken state for so long and then nerf them after the community has pretty much accepted the fact that they're stupidly OP.

And now the update just basically launched a chemical strike against the entire community with everyone being salty and toxic as hell about their favorite frame being "RUINED".  

I noticed man. So many comments bashing DE saying stuff like they ruin the game or how they uninstalling but personally I felt the nerfs was just right. A Valkyr could just stay in Hysteria most of the game. With all the Power Duration and Power Efficiency mods, that energy barely went down. People complaining like her and Excal's EB is borderline useless now. They're still very good skills just balanced out now.  

All these cringy neckbeards crying about how their precious waifu Trinity is useless.

Do us all a favor and twist your neck, and if you twist far enough everything just becomes black.

Mag is probably the only legit issue this update, I personally don't have her but I noticed she's got some weird scaling issues with some of her abilities.

Excal's EB spin-blind change is also kind dumb, nobody even really used it and now it costs energy to use? Should've just got rid of it and gave him a cooler spin attack. His combos also need to be looked at.

OH AND I FORGOT ALL ABOUT ASH.

WHERE'S ASH'S NERF/REWORK OR WHATEVER?  

They mentioned that Ash's bladestorm is being looked at still. It'll most likely require an entirely new skill if it doesn't want to be broken.

On the other hand, let's notice the reworks.

Volt is now a legit alternative to gunplay. You could actually go through a large percentage of the level without firing your gun at all, and do just fine. A couple volts I ran with on a survival to try out the reworked frames loved it, even saying that it could be a little overpowered.
Imo it might just have to stay "overpowered" if they want Volt to be a god of lightning casting alternative.

Mag is wonderful. I spent about an hour and a half in the simulacrum just messing around with different builds, fighting different enemy groupings, etc etc.
I ended up settling with the following build. (open the spoiler)

Spoiler

Switch out Energy Siphon w/ Corrosive Projection if you want.
Doesn't matter.

Magnetize is a bullet sponge that basically makes Mag a hallway hero if you tunnel in to it enough, and there's something sitting in it to take the damage.
Polarize (previously Shield Polarize) now effects shields and armor, damaging shields and completely stripping all armor from targets the Polarize passes through. I get the feeling that they might nerf that part a bit.

I love Mag now. I seriously can't get over how fun she is to play over her old iteration.

Shameless self promotion to show you Mag in action. Just open the spoiler.

Just a quick note, I'm mentally unable to gather myself to edit this video right now. So it looks terrible at the end. Sorry not sorry.
