Galatine

I seem to get plenty of Impact procs with it despite building it for viral and slash

If you're using Rending Crane or Tempo Royale, those stances have forced Impact procs in their combos.

As with most BPs, from the market for credits.

• heavy blade i heavy

...What?

Heavy weapons generally feel slower than non heavy melees.

Also, what....?

"Different classes of Melee weapons have different Attack Animation which require different lengths of time to complete, thus the actual Attack Speed is different between weapon classes regardless of the actual value shown; ex. despite the Fragor Hammer and Karyst Dagger both having listed Attack Speeds of 0.8, the Karyst's actual Attack Speed is still faster than the Fragor's due to Hammers having slower Attack Animations. " - Attack Speed page

so are you just bad at reading?

OP confirmed EA employee

range is 3 meters, or 9 feet

Galatine is about as tall as the Warframe, lil over 2 meters tall

with an outstretched arm Galatine reaches to 3 meters

makes sense to me "lol"...

If you're MR9 then you can use Galatine, it only has an MR requirement of 3.

But even if you were below the MR you can still farm for its parts, yes.

Unless youre talking about the Galatine Prime you can use it. But the normal Galatine only has a mastery requirement of 3 so you should be able to use it.

yea same lamo [insert joy emotes here]

ngl, same here, too.

250?!? Are you sure, it's not 150 or something?? Holy crap!! (but no boost to stat chance :( ) 

I guess they realy want to sell this new prime acceess.

Remember; this is datamined content that has yet to be implemented.

DE can change these stats before release.

and here i am wishing i could have my old galatine (charge galatine was bae) or at least have it as channel (since ive got some INSANE damage on my channel galatine)

thats the Gilt skin

why is it in the code for the global build?

I say boost base damage, attack speed (slightly) and status chance

I say boost status chance, crit chance, and base damage

Boost status chance and base damage at least, any other buff is a bonus.

boost base,status,and channel. that would be my want. ever since they converted charge mods into channel mods i still keep my galatine channeling build around. would be nice to build around channeling

i loved the original galatine, in melee 1.0, before stance and canalisation!

because otherwise you are not going to use it.....right?

ya galatine has been my fav melle weapon since the days of charge attacks. Ill use this regardless of stats.

Yes, guaranteed on spin attacks and possibly on normal button 1 attacks (possibly because it depends on Galatine's target maximum which is not shown here). And for future reference, spin attacks with any melee weapon (with the exception of Sparring types) will hit multiple targets, not just with Galatine.

Or Galatine with Cleaving Whirlwind's Broken Bull spin attacks and your choice of mods. Will rank anyone up fast when used on high level enemies (sometimes one-shots lvl50+ enemies). Combine that with a speed boost, which I personally use my Volt Prime, Steel Charge, and Coaction Drift with this combo, to get the job done fast. Or replace the Galatine with War if you're dealing with enemies with high shielding.

Due to Galatine's already low crit. chance I wouldn't bother putting Maiming Strike and Berserker on though, save those slots for mods that will either increase physical damage or elemental damage/chance.

^maiming strike is additive flat 90% crit chance increase so with slide attacks galatine will have 100% crit chance and therefore guaranteed berserker proc with each slide attack. I don't see why you would not use them unless you don't like doing slide attacks. With primed reach those guaranteed crit slide attacks can clear groups easily while giving you speed buff.

This is true, but I personally don't need Berserker's speed buff (which caps at +75%) because Volt's second ability gives a greater one, plus I don't need to rely on critical hits to activate it. Also, Galatine's crit. multiplier is only 2.0x while Broken Bull grants a bonus 300% damage (a total of 400% damage). I can also perform Broken Bull 7 continuous times rather than having to perform slide attacks, which require the player to get some sort of running or walking start before executing the slide.

If you could get crit. chance up to 200% or 300% rather than just 100% in order to start seeing red crit. numbers then sure, I might put Maiming Strike on my melee. Sadly just 100% to crit. with a 2.0x crit. multiplier is actually a downgrade to the damage that I can already do. And due to the fact that Galatine is a long sword I already get plenty of range, even without Reach or even Primed Reach. Instead of wasting a mod slot and capacity on range I simply increase damage or attack speed.

But the build you two are suggesting is very clever, in fact it would be extremely OP on most other melee weapons that have high crit. chances and base attack speed. It could easily take down high level enemies in just a couple of seconds or less. If I didn't main with just Galatine and War, and instead used sword or dagger weapons again then I would likely use this build.
