Damage 2.0

So i had the realization that my effective damage against enemies with armor was way higher than i thought.

I had a thought experiment and i'm quite skeptical of my calculation for it.

This is what it looks lilke.

Effective Damage = Damage * 1.75 * 1.33337

If damage is 200 Corrosive on ferrite armor than according to this, it'd be 375 due to armor bypass reducing the effective health, which is for example, 525 with a base health of that divided by 2.

Is this correct?

So, what are the go to multiplicative buffs aside from roar that it's worth going for right now?

I'm trying to play without serration and hornet strike and relying on an arcane to proc that adds dmg (like arcane precision for example) and was wondering what would be a cool warframe ability to give me that extra edge

I used to run eclipse but now it feels like roar is doing a better job now but that might just be me

What are your thoughts on this? And what abilities should i look into for that?

So I was looking through all the different damage types, and what happens if a weapon has *three* effect mods on it?

I've been playing this game for a while, and I thought I understood how to hurt some baddies, but recently I've tried auto equipping mods and the total damage knocks my builds flat. However, I think the auto builds are neglecting crit stats. How do the crit stats impact the total damage listed under the stars?

Hello Warframe WIKI community, I would like to know why the Proboscis Cernos, the Kuva Bramma, and the Lenz (namely Prisma) are highly regarded?

Asking for a friend and kinda myself because mine doesn't do damage with the added downside of having 5 rounds :V

I want to add something similar to another wiki - Icon + Name that has 2 part hover text.

Can anyone link me to the code that creates these embeds or are there any guides for that?

As you can see, using its incarnon mode isn't worth it.

Generally, I think the purpose of incarnon mode was to give you another functional option for your builds. I may be wrong on that. Correct me if so! Anyway, the stat differences listed above indicate that there isn't a good reason to use its incarnon mode outside of leveraging a small amount of extra range and that 0.5 punch through, both of which are made negligible through several of its evolutions. These stat differences are also a little beyond what can be rectified with modding. Could you provide reasons for the disparity, or (preferably) fix it?

Actually, outside of crit modding, all modding applied actually widens the disparity, and crit modding isn't exactly encouraged by the evolution options you gave us for this weapon.

If anyone has a problem with this, tell DE and introduce them to math.

Just what the title suggests this post will be

Notes/Universal info:

- All armor removal from procs is permanent

- If a proc hits its cap, proccing it again will refresh its duration and try to proc another proc from the weapon, this "reroll" only happens once

- For reference to current DOT (damage over time) effects: slash deals 35% of base every 1 sec for 6 secs, heat/elec/toxin/gas deals 50% of base every 1 sec for 6 secs

- Synergies between procs will be listed when the 2nd element of the synergy is mentioned to avoid confusion

- Damage increases dont affect proc weighting

- Whenever nuetral damage is mentioned, imagine void damage without the void gimmicks

- Bosses retain their current status caps

- Obviously numerous abilities would need to be changed, im not going into that

Slash: Uncapped

- Proc deals 40% of (modded) slash damage as true damage every 1.2 secs for 6 secs, with the first instance happening the moment it is procced, deals 90% less damage to shields

- For the first 10 procs permanently decreases fire rate/attack speed and reload speed by 5% per stack and increase spread by 10% per stack (it will be hard handling weapons with all the blood loss from the cuts)

- If the enemy has no armor and no shields, increase raw slash damage by 150% (not procs)

Impact: Uncapped

- Proc deals 25% of (modded) impact damage as impact damage every 0.8 secs for 6.4 secs, with the first instance happening the moment it is procced, deals 30% less damage to shields

- Every tick of the proc reduces targets armor by 4 + 0.75% of their current armor, this value is affected by impact mods (and negative impact cant reduce it to bellow half of the original)

- For every 15 procs, decrease the target's current armor by 20%

- If the target has no armor, increase impact headshot damage by 200% (not procs)

Puncture: Uncapped

- Proc deals 20% of (modded) puncture damage as nuetral damage every 0.8 secs for 6.4 secs, with the first instance happening 0.8 secs after it is procced, deals 50% less damage to shields

- For every 20 armor removed by procs on the target before puncture is procced, increase proc damage by 1% (so if an enemy lost 200 armor each tick deals 30% of modded puncture damage)

- If the enemy has no armor and no shields, double all puncture damage received by the target (affects raw damage and new procs)

New Proc Shattering: Cap of 1

- Shattering has no raw damage associated and cannot be modded onto weapons, it will automatically proc when the target has 10 impact, 10 slash and 10 puncture procs at the same time

- Increases all physical (IPS) damage received by 650%, affects damage from all sources (abilities, raw, procs, enviroment etc)

Heat: Cap of 100

- Proc deals 30% of (modded) heat damage as heat damage every 1.2 secs for 6.4 secs with the first instance happening 1.2 it after it is procced

- Every tick of the proc increases armor volnurabilities by 5% until they reach 75%

- Refreshes and stacks the same way as now

Synergy: double impact's armor strip

Cold: Cap of 50 or lower

- Procs double the status duration of other elemental procs, on duration of 8 secs, cold isnt affected by status duration mods

- For the first 10 procs slow down all of the enemy's actions by 7% for each proc

- After the 10 proc, every 5 procs have a 15% chance to completely freeze the enemy (much like frost freeze) with a 100% chance at 50 procs, frozen enemies lose 30% of their max armor and receive 50% more damage from all elemental procs, if an enemy is frozen cold is automatically capped

Synergies: Impact deals triple damage to frozen enemies, Heat causes the freeze to remove 30% additional max armor

Toxin: Uncapped

- Proc deals 30% of (modded) toxin damage as nuetral damage every 1 sec for 8 secs with the first instance happening the moment it is procced, can bypass shields but lose 80% damage in the process, 95% if target is affected by a shield osprey

- Every tick of the proc increases the damage of subsequent toxin procs by +1% and reduces their duration by 0.25 secs, up to a minimum of 3 secs (so if you proc toxin after another toxin proc has run out, it will deal 38% damage per sec and last for 6 secs)

- For every 30 procs, proc one additional viral onto the target

- Raw toxin damage no longer bypasses shields

Synergy: If slash procs are present, increase the damage of toxin procs by an additional 10% (so they start at 40% dmg per sec)

Electric: Uncapped

- Each proc deals 50% of (modded) electic damage as electric damage 0.5 secs after being procced

- At 10 procs, briefly stun the target

- If more than 1 electric procs are present on death, the target releases chain lightning (4m chain range) that deals 200% of (modded) electric damage as electric damage per proc, and chains up to as many targets as the procs remaining, with each chain the lighting loses 1 proc and procs 1 electric onto the target hit, if the lightning cant find a target to chain to then the last target receives 20% of the remaining procs

Synergy: Whenever an enemy becomes frozen, trigger the on kill effect

Corrosive: Cap of 1 or higher

- Each proc reduces target's current armor by 10%

- The first proc increases armor volnurabilities by 25% but cannot exceed 75%

- If no armor is present, double the raw heat/toxin/cold/elec damage on the target (only when they are uncombined)

Synergies: ticks from heat and impact procs reduce an additional 2% of the target's current armor

Viral: Uncapped

- Each proc lasts 6 secs

- For the first 10 procs, same as current viral (100% to 325% increased damage to health)

- For any proc after 10, increase damage done to health by 15%

- Each viral proc has a 15% chance to cause a toxin proc based off 50% of viral's (modded) damage, chance is doubled after reaching 10 viral procs

Synergies: Each slash proc tick has a 10% chance to cause a toxin proc based on 50% of the ticks damage, If the enemy is frozen, on death spread 10% of the viral procs onto enemies within 6m

Gas: Uncapped

- The first proc creates a 4m aoe that lasts for 3 secs and refreshes with each new gas proc within the aoe as well as moving its center to towards the latest gas proc, for up to the first 10 procs the aoe increases up to 8m, for any

additional the aoe increases by 0.25 m and duration is reduced by 0.1 sec, gas is unaffected by status duration mods and cold

- The aoe deals 20% of (modded) gas proc damage as gas damage with 50% falloff, scaling the same way as current heat procs, every 0.6 secs, the gas cloud has a 20% chance (+ 5% per proc, can go beyond 100%) to proc a toxin proc based on 30% of the tick damage

Synergies: enemies affected by viral have a +50% chance to receive a toxin proc, electric can chain range increased to 6m after hitting enemies in the aoe

Blast: Cap of 15

- Every proc causes non blast non physical procs to have a 10% chance to proc twice

- For every 3 blast procs, the enemy explodes on death in a 1m aoe (+1m per 3 procs) spreading 5% of elemental procs affecting the target (+5% per 3 procs), staggers enemies affected by the blast if at 15 procs

- First proc increases all armor stripping on target and damage to shields by 50%

Synergies: frozen enemies spread twice as many procs, electric doesnt spread but instead has a chance (10% per blast proc) to create an additional lighting on death

Magnetic: Caps off 1 or higher

- First second and third proc increase the likelihood of magnetic procs happening on target by 2x 3x and 4x respectively, this effect doesnt apply when there are no shields

- Each proc doubles damage done to shields by raw magnetic damage

- Once shields are down, create a 6m explosion that deals damage equal to 100% of the magnetic damage dealt to the shields as nuetral damage and have a 10% chance per 2 magnetic procs to dissarm enemies affected

- If the target has no shields the magnetic has a 5% chance to disarm the target, if the target has no ranged weapons or cant be disarmed magnetic caps

Synergies: Toxin bypasses shields losing only 60% damage and 90% if affected by shield osprey

Radiation: Uncapped

- Retains same confusion mechanics and duration as current version

- Creates a 4m aoe aura around the enemy that deals 30% of (modded) radiation damage as nuetral damage to nearby enemies every 1 sec

- The target itself receives 5% of (modded) radiation damage as radiation damage every 0.3 secs, with each tick the target loses 1% of their current armor

Synergies: increases slash, toxin and heat proc damage by 20%, blast increases the aura range to 6m

I've heard that kronen Prime have been really op, I've been looking for a mlee and a primary that can deal good amount of damage on the steal path.... what's your thoughts?

So I've been playing a lot to Warframe and having 962 hours to the game i still been confused of what to use with what, all the info to understand the game was from either this Wiki or by reddit so this is what I figured out:

For Grineer I have been using guns with high puncture damage like Corinth Prime, Lex Prime or Fang Prime with Corrosive and Heat. This works well but you will also need Radiation for very Elite Grineer and Bosses (so Steel Path to my understanding).

For Corpus I have been using guns with high impact damage like Rubico Prime, Broken Scepter or Euphona Prime with Magnetic and Toxin but i was also seeing that people said it wasn't necessary and said it was better to use Toxin (Corpus Flesh bc it bypass shields) and Radiation (for killing Robotics) so idk I have been Using both but sometimes Corpus don't die.

For Infested I have been using guns with high slash damage like Braton Prime, Skiajati or Vasto Prime with Viral and Heat. Some people say just use Viral on everything and idk what to say then why use the others. recently i was told that for infested are best to use Gas and Cold (For Deimos), Gas has been Good? Well Idk, i don't see much o a thing and at the same time they said many Infested are immune to Viral so I change to Gas.

All who knows something and wants to light me the path i will be gratefull, and let me know if i have to change some elemental builds or if they are good.

Also If i help someone with the elemental damage good for you, you didn't have to read 8 forums and reading the wiki as long as me :D.

When i have gas damage on weapon. I deal fire and toxic damage or only gas damage?

2,147,483,647 is the maximum positive integer on a 32-bit system.

It is the max damage, max credits, max number of a resource, etc that the game can handle. Ever use a hex editor on older games and set things to high in which the game displayed funky blocks as the number? That’s why. You exceeded the limit. Imagine 8-bit games...

There are a few ways to hit the maximum possible damage in Warframe. There’s also a series of buffs you can do in order to screw up the math formulas to deal 0 damage. If you leave out one of the buffs you’ll do in the millions in 1 hit. Strange huh?

There’s a future situation called “the year 2038 problem” in which the integer used keep log time on many UTC digital systems across the world started in Jan 1st, 1970. The latest possible time will be 03:14:07 on Tuesday, 19 January 2038 in which the integer that keeps track of the time will reach 2,147,483,647 second after it started.

It will be the Y2K panic all over again.. you know cuz everyone though computers couldn’t count past 1999 in the year 1999... but this time will be true. This means your 32-bit technology will have some issues keeping time after 01/19/2038 at 3:14:07 AM

Psy’s “Gangnam Style” music video was so viral, YouTube has to upgrade their systems to 64-bit as the view count had surpassed the max integer 32-bit systems could handle.

2,147,483,647 is a prime number. The number was proven as a prime number but Leonhard Euler in 1772 and was the largest known primed number until 1867.

The more you know.

Got most the facts from Wiki.

Am i the only one still using different elemental damage builds for different enemy factions? (namely grineer, corpus, and infested) or does everyone just use viral + slash for any enemy factions?

The example i'm using is for my Ignis Wraith, as it is my main weapon with most forma. I'm running a radiation for grineer, heat + magnetic for corpus, heat + corrosive for infested. That's based on the damage guide here on wiki, and i pick the worst enemies from each faction to focus on, bombard on grineer, any shield based enemies in corpus, and ancients in infested.

Aside from the elements i'm running the usual mod of serration, heavy calliber, split chamber, cc + cd

Will a viral + heat + slash (hunter munition) works better for all 3 factions than my 3 separate builds? I'd love to get some opinion on that
