Arcane helmets

[SirSlapAlot]

I just bought an Arcane Esprit Helmet thinking oh man that extra bit of energy might come in handy since i'm gonna get one-shotted by anything anyway right?

little did i know, it took up AN ARCANE SPOT OF YOUR WARFRAME

is there any proper reasoning behind that? it is +stat and -stat so i dont know why it should take up an arcane spot

for example one of the better arcane helms, Rhino vanguard, +25% speed with -5% power strength (worth 500p rn on warframe market) can be easily replaced by a r3 arcane consequence (worth 20p rn on warframe market). Excal Pendragon might be slightly better due to no arcanes able to boost power strength but its just a measly +15% power strength, i'm not sure but i think that 15% extra power strength is definitely not worth 400p


Conclusion?
due to how rare they are and how they have (slight) negatives, i dont think they should lock up one arcane slot.


this post is fueled by the salt of me wasting 50p

Conclusion? Idiot, maybe research next time
And them taking up a slot is fair, they are strong on their own and let you min maxing like crazy. Having them not take one up would be unfair.

compared to how powerful arcanes can be, i dont think its ever worth putting on an arcane helm

and actually the wiki for arcane esprit helm and arcane helmets catagory didnt mention that it locks up a spot

Sry i would have expected wiki to provide such information
that was an issue on my part

TBH I find Arcane helmets somewhat better than Arcanes, due to they give their passives right away and is not pased on chance.

if you fight Arcane Guardian is always active, if you shoot with any crit secondary Arcane Velocity is always active, if you hit enough headshots any headshot arcane is always active

On Mesa Arcane Velocity seems to be active by default, your fire rate and crit chance just trigegr it as soon as you press 4.

But again, to each his own, if they made Arcane Helmens like an extra 3-rd arcane then prices for them would be WAY above Primed Chamber.

It doesn't hurt to not be so condescending, y'know?
