To have tanky enemies to use powerful builds on

Your build probably isn't good enough

Steel path is just garbage and very unrewarding, honestly don't even bother with it unless you are obsessed with increasing your mastery rank or you want to spend hours in a survival mission farming kuva to get a garbage riven roll.

Arbitration's are a lot more rewarding and actually let you play other builds other than the meta builds and you can still use vitus essence to purchase kuva, just need a bit more of it.
Even void fissures are more rewarding than steel path and they are way easier.

To have tanky enemies to use powerful builds on? For what? Steel path rewards are complete crap and most of the people who play it are either going for more mastery rank or are farming it for kuva. Theres no other reason to play this crap game mode other than to test builds that need to be specifically built for steel path. Steel path is more of an elitist game mode than anything else.

Yes it is, that's what I just said. It was never intended to be anything more than a way to start enemies at a very high level.

To test your mettle against extremely powerful enemies, that's literally it.

Exactly, it means you're not missing out if you can't do the hyper difficulty 'for fun' gamemode.

That's quite literally the point of this -- and I need to stress it here -- OPTIONAL gamemode that gives no advantage over playing normally.

Essentially. Take it as you will, it's entirely optional and doesn't give players an advantage for being able to do it, play it or don't.

If you can't deal with steel path enemies you are not ready for it. Simple as that.

Like others have said, this was made for the players who want to test their OP builds in real, game environments with OP enemies instead of the constant simulacrum. It isn't supposed to give you crazy rewards, and it really shouldn't because with many builds this mode is as hard as normal starchart.

Use Nyx, strip all the defense from enemies and CC them. 360nocsope

I guess it's not a coincidence how Nyx has so many great Tennogen skins. More than any other frame.

that's what i'm thinking... looking at his post history on may 14th he failed MR8 7 times (since he's really bad at jumping puzzles) after playing 270 orso hrs with rhino , unless he bought a lot of things i don't think he has the stuff needed to slice thru SP easily.

For me the once every 8 weeks garunteed umbra forma is a pretty good reason to do those incursions and stock up on steel essence.

Plus, things can get fun and interesting again when you are no longer breezing though everything.

I think of steel path like raids/trials in mmo games, both require min max build and some skill (although let's be real in warframe the only min max you need is a good melee). If you don't want to min max in mmo play regular dungeon and in warframe play normal star chart.

only the real sweaty tryhards bother with it lol. i did a couple missions in it but stopped when i realised it had nothing i wanted, any resources levels etc you want can be gained just as easily in other missions. the only unique rewards you can get from it are the things bought with steel essence, which frankly just isn't worth the trouble

SP shouldn’t have been added, makes apparent the massive power gap between guns and melee. Now DE are gonna add more power to guns as a result, making an already easy game easier. Devworkshop about said buffs on the 16th

I can tell u 100% that there are plenty of guns that can easily rip thru sp enemies.
Problem with most of them is that 20 more enemies gonna be shooting at u before u even aim at a single target, take nyx ( any beefy tank that can ignore the damage while using primary/secondary ) and try shooting, u will be surprised but most of the guns are actually capable, but u will never create an AR that kills ~7 targets at a time with one damn bullet.

You can kill an enemy in a couple of seconds, but even a couple of seconds of constant fire at ur fragile frame will make using single target type of guns irrelevant.

So many bad takes in one thread. SP is for people who are interested in a challenge. It isnt meant to reward you with anything outside of accomplishment and perhaps bragging rights. Is this good? No. But it is how it is.

Been playing this game since closed beta. And I can tell you with COMPLETE assurance that we will not have a end game mode in warframe. For endgame you need the following.

A) content that requires max gear/skills.

B) Gear reward in content that will allow you to face future endgame content.

Rinse and repeat. Its a treadmill. And one that this game will never have. They have had 7+ years to give us a proper endgame and it has not happened. Frankly, they have no idea how to make one.

The mode is still worthwhile for people that want the challenge. That is not you. No harm no foul.
