He's obviously meant to be used by advanced players due to the high cost of the blueprint and the difficutly in obtaining the parts (originally MUCH more resource-intensive until a massive outcry made them greatly reduce the cost). His stats are also lower than average, overall. By that, I mean that all of his stats are average  except his shields, which are below average. Looking at Excalibur as the complete average Warframe, Nekros is slightly worse. All other Warframes have at least one above-average stat to help balance them. I guess they expect you to depend either on skill or his abilities to remain effective in combat (although more energy would be expected if you're supposed to use his abilities). I suppose Desecrate could offset some of the disadvantages by supplying more health and energy orbs. I was playing with a Necro and it seemed every enemy that he Desecrated dropped a health orb.
