I'm a longtime Gara enjoyer and this is a good overview of what goes in to building her! There's a few things I would add. First, in addition to +elemental damage, +slash and +puncture work as well but only on the hold and tap versions of the ability respectively (can be useful if you get a riven with big +slash for example, just remember to use the right version of the ability). Arcane blade charger is a bigger melee damage buff (300%) and is worth considering, especially if you're set up to get primary kills to charge ceramic dagger's base combo. Lastly, the damage buff from eclipse, though much reduced from its glory days, applies directly to your melee and thus boosts the stacking splinter storm damage in a way that roar doesn't, so for people interested in that playstyle I think it's a solid choice.

Modding your stat stick for cc and cd works and will significantly boost your damage, but it will only work with incarnon crit evolutions.

@Malurth
5 күн бұрын
yea covert lethality is generally the next pick. you can replace with either the last elemental mod or a 120% punc/slash mod, from my testing sans-riven I get dmg #s of 7828 with nothing on, 8882 w/ covert, 8687 with a +90% and 8973 with a +120%. if you were already using a +120%, then covert lethality is the play (because it's either that or another +90%), otherwise it's a pick between slightly improved damage at the cost of being forced to use either tap or hold specifically. as for SS vs +120%, SS is better. even with my over +200% melee damage riven and my incarnon form activated (another +100%), I get #s of 18,304 with SS and 17,928 with a +120% instead. without all my extra +melee damage% it would be even more in the favor of SS.

How does Gara work if you don't pay any specific mind to the stat stick and just use whatever? I hate the idea of stat sticks, so I always make all my builds to function in a void and any interactions between weapons and frames are more of a bonus.
@Malurth
11 күн бұрын
well basically, if you don't use a stat stick, all your abilities will deal way less damage. Both 4 and 3 scale off 1, which in turn scales off your melee's relevant mods + incarnon stuff. most melee mods/arcanes literally don't do anything here (only +Dmg%, +Elem%, and +Initial Combo help), so not using a stat stick is like using a weapon with several empty mod slots. it sort of obviously won't do nearly as well as a weapon that actually uses all the slots. you can still do fine without one at low levels or just opt to play her as a defensive support, as her defensive tools and debuffs all always work in full. but you're definitely leaving a lot of power on the table by opting out.

It seems to me like a regular melee weapon build should add enough to stack damage for base level Steel Path, and frankly that's enough for me.

@dr.krimson1010

I'd rather they delete stat-sticks. Make pseudo-exalts either true exalted skills or make them proper normal skills. Before anybody gets their knickers too much in a twist; this would also entail reworking the mods allowed on all exalted weapons and revisiting old skills. Ensure proper scaling for exalted weapons or skills from the relevant stat on the Warframe itself. Remove the restrictions on exalted weapon modding. Rebalance the stats. There is no reason to hold back too far on these skills. Saryn still exists and DE doesn't consider it a problem. The damage when using a stat-stick exists and DE doesn't consider it a problem. So why keep the weird and broken system? Just dump the stat-stick, make the skills do proper damage and get rid of the faff.

por que no los dos? but yea I agree there too, stat-stick frames now have the extra problem of being significantly less useful in the game modes where they don't let you pick your equips (Circuit, EDA). and it kinda disables your melee weapon and is often something of an expensive pain to optimize too. never really been a big fan
