Talk:Nekros (Warframe)/@comment-81.56.79.150-20140813064308

Long story short: do not invest on Nekros before putting some toughs in him.

When you look at a frame, farm speed is an important matter. Nekros isn't good at farming, average move speed, nothing to enhance farm. I poarised him 3 times already, he needs 2 more to be fully loaded making him a chore more than others too. At least 1 forma is required because the douche doesn't have aura polarity.

About survivals, well you bring him to smoothen the % curve so you don't get owned, a well rounded group can do it easily without Nekros and will have more team versatility especially in T4. I still bring him in T4s often because the "average skill level" in this game is low and discipline too. Nekros doesn't mind surviving very last while taking some hits with a proper build but he has nothing shiny in armor department making him pretty poor at taking damage 35mn+ into T4, usually you start pussying hard and abuse range mods for desecrate and roll a lot if your mates do not chain CCs properly.

About looting in general, he is good for some things, overrated on others. I got my brakk easily because of desecrate, about rare mods, it can help, but when meeting some previous conditions. It's statistically good when farming "rarer" mobs; but it doesn't mean that he is worthy right of the bat, it's about loots per minutes. Best example is mobile defenses. Well mobs infinitely spawn and nekros has huge cast time on desecrate, it's irrelevant when playing alone and in a random pub group. It is highly team dependant, farm intensive, and to some extent weapon dependant too.

About the rest of his skillset:

- Soul Punch: Too situationnal to be worthy of your slot. (good only as panic option on late waves/survivals eximus imho)

-  Terrify: good for resurecting or running away but very situationnal, debatable but very ok when doing lots of pubs or semi organised stuff. Offensively it's too situationnal and makes mobs moves too erratic. There are better combo skills, for armor reduction you have corrosive anyway. Can't rely on that for armor reduction.

- Desecrate: well :)

- Shadow of the noob: not only it has huge cast time, takes 7 mod points, gives 0 farming, is corpse relevant, there are far better skills for defending things or yourself. Terrify is arguably better saving things.
