BARUUK MAINS RISE UP! From the final poll Mesa is next, it seems from the overwhelmingly positive reception from the Gauss Review, I'll continue this as a series, discussing every warframe in detail. Let me know what Warframe you want to see next in the comments! And as always, thank you for your continued support,
Chroma was more intended to change themselves based on their element, rather than changing their element based on their enemy. It just didn't work out very well.
I remember seeing a showcase for Baruuk that made me try him out and was like "wow. It doesn't really matter if you're doing solely impact damage if it's six figures" AND THEN they released his augment mod. Mind blowing
@@Zevox144 people don't use valkyr because she is a relic of her time. also her claw attacks don't adapt to enemy weaknesses. the only thing she has is decent damage and immortality.
@@Zevox144 Valkyr is insaneöy strong but only warcry and hysteria are useful abilities. Warcry has an annoying casttime but this can be fixed with the augment. Hysteria energy drain is obnoxious and she doesn't get range so it's not that comfy to use. It's insanely good with spin attacks but that's a playstyle most people hate. It makes sense that she's not that popular really
I picked up Baruuk day one for the simple fact that he had "voice lines" on his abilities. Fell in love with everything about him and I've been maining him since.
8:55 Small correction; Serene storm is not the only Exalted ability that doesn't use energy, Sevagoths Exalted form and Claws use the death well instead of energy as well.
Nice vid as usual! Couple of things regarding serene storm: 1. It does NOT benefit from blood rush, or any other mods on the stat stick, EXCEPT the gladiator set. As long as serene storm has at least 1 gladiator mod equipped it will get the gladiator bonus. So having 3 gladiator mods on your stastick and one on serene storm gives you the same effect as a rank 7 blood rush would if you could equip it. Usually you have gladiator might on serene storm to increase the crit multiplier. 2. It gets bonus damage per combo multiplier like all exalted melees, this is not listed on the wiki under baruuk's abilities but rather on the page about the melee combo system, so it's easy to miss. However, this bonus only applies with serene storm's own combo count, not the statstick's. 3. There is an easy way to prevent the bug you mentioned at 14:30. Using melee guidance aura will lower the serene storms combo duration to -1, preventing any combo gain. You do need some combo duration mods on the statstick and probably naramon, but it's worth it.
The bug is actually a bit more involved than that, as when it triggers for me, I not only lose the gladiator bonus on his exalted weapon, but on the stat stick as well. The game acts like I have zero combo even when I'm at 11 stacks, and getting back up to 12 only gives me one stack in the gladiator bonus. I have to heavy attack and rebuild my combo from scratch if I want to fix it, which is why my stat stick (Cobra and Crane) has every single combo enhancing mod on it to speed up that process and prolong the duration. The real issue, though, is Baruuk's waves not adding to or resetting your combo, as if they did he'd quickly hit max combo in his exalted and never ever lose it, thus making the bug moot. Another thing I've noticed coming up a lot is the importance of his exalted not needing energy. With all the other frames, if you run out of energy, you're out of luck. If the infested smack you a few times and drain you dry, all of a sudden your damage is done and you're being overwhelmed. That means you have to mod for energy regen or run Zenurik to keep up, both of which cut into your overall performance. Not so here. Baruuk needs a little energy to cast his abilities, but he isn't reliant on it the way everyone else is. If you're drained dry, you can still fight, and getting enough energy for a single cast at a time is much easier than refilling your pool and keeping it full. It makes him far more flexible and less likely to be screwed over, on top of allowing him to use Naramon without feeling energy starved.
I tired it with the melee guidance aura, but the damage was super low, with the bonus dmg from combo its almost always millions with the same build compared to 5 digits
As a Baruuk main for a long long time. I really don't understand why people don't play him and don't know how strong of a Warframe is. You are literally immortal and you don't even need Adaptation or Rolling Guard. I tried to use a stat stick on him but even without it I deal so much dmg that it doesn't even matter. For me his 1st ability is useless and I have removed it. Also a lot of people don't know a little secret about his Ultimate (but he is using it in the video). If you hit normal mele hits you will hit everyone in front of you in a line, but if you use the Stance attacks you hit EVERYONE that you see on your monitor. So yeah.. I rarely use normal mele attacks on him.
Nobody play him pre-prime because it's so hard to access vox solaris stuff without painstakingly getting Old Mate rank from solaris first, same goes with Hildryn.
Fellow baruuk main. He was the warframe, with assistance of a friend's nidus, that let me hit the 2.14 billion damage cap on with a desert wind heavy attack, all while sitting comfortably on ~800k EHP & ~30k EHP/s regen. He was gated because the majority of players are too low rank to comfortably rank up Fortuna and Vox Solaris reps, but the reward for doing that was the ability to build the wandering god of solo play we call Baruuk. What did you replace your Elude with? I put on Hideous Resistance since it scales with Strength, and a permanent 30+ charges of status immunity helps by preventing Radiation and Magnetic procs (Screw you energy leech eximi~), which come up quite a bit when doing Liches/Sisters.
Baruuk is and has been one of my favorites for a long time. The survivability, damage, and synergy is out of this world. Add helminth Pillage to a Mold Augmented setup and Magus Anomaly to build combo and he's just unstoppable. Funny enough he's also probably one of the most tanky frames by far with 99% damage reduction INNATELY JUST FROM USING THE ABILITIES THAT YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE USING. Unreal Warframe that has that DR plus shield gate plus any armor strip you want, adapting damage you only need 1 mod for, great CC, cool design and mechanics, what more could you ask for?
Another way to avoid stacks is to run Melee Guidance in the aura slot, it's gives desert wind a negative Combo duration so you can take full advantage of the Blood Rush stacks. Also make sure not to run any primary or secondary Dexterity mods on your weapons
@Alan douglas in this case, negative duration on the exalted weapon prevents you accidentally building up the combo, which preserves the combo boost from the stat stick that was used
@@AmirifizIf you were reading what was being said, or listened to the video, you'd know that you can get Blood Rush/Glad set stacking crit bonus on combo by putting it on a stat stick and getting x12 with it... but there's a bug that if you hit enough enemies with the fist portion of serene storm to build a stack of combo it completely wipes out the crit bonuses from the stat stick. Therefore if you use melee guidance aura it'll make Serenes combo duration -1 so you cannot build up a combo with Serene whatsoever and therefore will not screw up your massive crit bonus. Because of all of this, if you run the Dexterity arcanes... either or both, which give you 7.5 seconds of combo duration or 15 seconds with both... this completely negates everything you were trying to do with melee guidance and you will inevitably lose your crit bonus all the time. Was this not obvious though I mean seriously?
There is a third way to keep your combo counter with barruk's weapon. By putting Melee Guidance as his Aura, this will set the combo duration of his exalted weapons into the negatives. Then just have your stat stick with lots of combo duration and generation with blood rush, and its easy. No matter what you do, barruk's weapon will never gain a stack on blood rush and ruin the combo
Baruuk is my favorite frame, it sorta makes me sad that he is only really effective for solo play, he can be really great once you get the ball rolling on him in a group, but he is so reliant on constant enemy presence to comfortably function at his best that any time you have an effective team with you, you are just sorta left dry on one of the multiple things you need to maintain his full effectiveness, which kinda stinks, I also can't really figure out what mods effecthim on a stat stick and what mods don't anymore, they really need to set up universal rules around stat sticks.
I can hear that Sonic Unleashed music in the background and I’m loving it. I grew up with that game, and I find myself coming back to it time and time again. Coming back to the music has been especially wonderful as I learn more about it. Also, I love your videos! You’re very well spoken, you’re very good at getting the main and important points across, and the video quality is 👌🏻 Keep up the good work!!! :)
You can use Melee Guidance to put the combo duration of desert wind to -1, that doesn't allow desert wind to build combo at all. This also means that you cannot use Dexterity arcanes because of their combo duration bonus, but this can be mitigated with naramon.
You can use melee guidance to get over the combo count bug as you can make it so that his 4 has a 0 second combo count which means you can never build-up combo
Desolate Hands is a verb. It's making their hands empty. Lull, and Elude are also verbs. So that's why it's called Desolate Hands. He's desolating your hands. Of your weapons. Perfect for leaving them empty to catch his hands during serene storm.
Baruuk has been my favourite and go-to Frame ever since it’s release. I get so much joy out of doing the slide attack with desert wind and listening to my ancient Monk release his anger
for anyone looking for a better work around for serene storm combo fall off issue, if you run Melee Guidance on your aura slot, it brings you desert wind combo count duration to 0. this means you wont ever gain combo in serene storm thus nullifying the problem completely. You WILL want a combo duration mod on your stat stick melee to counteract this aura's effect. hope this helps!
Am I the only one with this problem?? I do experience the stack refresh thing but most notably. My 4 can COMPLETELY stop working. I'd be stuck in a half animation and no waves will come out nor can I attack. I'll literally be stuck like that til I die. Anyone else with that problem sometimes?
I figured that this video seemed to lack the history and trivia that the other warframe dossier vids have, so here's a few fun facts, advice and/or tips and tricks: -"desolate hands" may be in reference to the phrase "idle hands do the devil's work", as "desolate" could be interpreted as "empty" or "idle" - his 3 used to consume your own daggers to give them to allies, but this was changed - his 4's augment, Reactive Storm, used to only adapt on a direct fist hit, but this was changed - he hasn't gotten a nerf yet and i absolutely fear the day he gets brought down - his design is based on monks of some jewish description? i think? the wiki had something about that noted but i haven't had to see it in a while - his prime access having a pistol seems antithetical to his vibes and he 100% should have come with daikyu prime no i'm not biased - his exalted has combos that change depending on your block status; where normally enemies go sent flying away, if you block, it will pull them in, and one block combo you can do will also either pseudo- or lift enemies outright - his exalted has a lot of knockback, but you can slide or heavy attack to deal insane damage without any knockback, which is very strong as you can imagine. I've had wild success with the slide against those flying sentient cunts with the utility belt of vape canisters - the best way to enjoy Baruuk's kit is to subsume his 1 for an ability that doesn't scale with duration at all, and my personal pick is Hideous Resistance which is just Mesmer Skin but exclusively for status effects like knockdown, then dumpster duration in favor of maxing out strength. you don't even need a lot of range or efficiency, i think i have 70% range on my build and somewhere close to 275% strength and it's doing work - because his Reactive Storm augment adds status chance that scales with ability strength - his prime has no fancy visual changes to his abilities and it's the single biggest letdown in history because they could have done something fucking awesome like doing the "Avatar Mode orbiting rings of elements" thing with his daggers but nah - his exalted wind blasts will hit enemies on a floor above him, but not below him - his exalted weapon type, fists, are tied with claws and sparring weapons to have the single highest finisher multiplier on ground finishers at 30x damage (!!!) with the only higher value being 120x (!!!!!!!!) belonging to Valkyr's exalted melee, but the rest of the finishers only offer a standard yet consistent 8x damage multiplier - some of his abilities sound like he's saying actual words, which not only adds a very real sense of "holy shit the human/orokin that turned into Baruuk has enough willpower and conviction in his pacifist ways to exert his will on the Operator even after the infested virus transofrmed and disifigured his body". It's a little hard to tell what he's saying with his first 3 if anything, but when he pops his 4 it sounds like he's saying "GET AWAY." and it's so damn cool - i don't ship characters but if i did i like the idea that Valkyr was a ball of fury and mellowed out with her prime (canon according to the flavor text) and Baruuk is a chill guy with anger issues so they act like a foil to each other - I laugh when people say Atlas is the real one punch man because you need a lot of investment in a statstick to come close, on top of needing 3 hits with his 1 to compete with even Baruuk's non-crits - imagine not having 50% damage reduction that a nullifier can't take away lol lmao Baruuk is my absolute favorite frame. I fell in love with his kit when i leveled him for the mastery and he's been a staple since, and he does so well that starting around Gauss' release, i had been using a dogshit build on his exalted and never noticed until I finally got my hands on his prime and copied my builds over. I spent 7 or so forma, and at least 3 of them are umbral between him and his exalted, and i don't regret a single one of them. my clan knows me as the "Baruuk guy" and ping me whenever someone has questions about his kit. I have 34% of my total ~1600 hours as him and i've also never bothered using a statstick with him because he genuinely doesn't need one.
I didn't go for Baruuk only thanks to starting the game, seriously, about a year and a half ago. I've been playing Prime frames as they release, effectively, and putting time into them. I'm fairly sure Baruuk is going to be my main from here on. He's simply the best character for my playstyle, and I'm happy to have him in my arsenal.
You should start making warframe content man. I used to watch your destiny 1 content and it was amazing. I recently moved from destiny 2 to warframe and this game is amazing. I would definitely watch your content for it.
15:30 You forgot Option C : Build Desert Wind with negative combo duration, but the statstick with positive combo duration. That way you never build combo with your exalted weapon, and can just revert to your statstick when the combo gets too low for your taste. The only drawback is you can never use Primary/Secondary Dexterity on your loadout. But seriously, does our favourite monk really need it ?
Been my favorite since he came out. Got him day 1 and never looked back! Love the love for him and even learned some new ideas on what to do with him from comments and video great stuff!
I like mesa because of her big buffs on 2,3 and 3 applying to others is just 👍🏻 also her amazing supporting abilities with all the energy and health orbs she spawns after pressing 4 and left click
If you use the aura mod that reduces combo time you can get negative combo duration for desert wind which will prevent stacks from building on direct hits
Baruuk not being able to use his full kit in short missions is kinda baller though. Like if you bust out your 4 it's because shit is actually getting serious. That's kinda the point right? If you're not destroying shit it's because you don't need to be. Just vibe with your other abilities until you actually need to pop off.
I like Baruuk really well...in ESO and survival (where he's a beast). However, in most other mission types there just isn't enough mob density to have good uptime on his 4...at which point why play this frame? Basically what it comes down to is that I don't have a whole lot of use for a frame where if I accidentally queue with it I'll want to go back to my orbiter and pick something else.
Great video! One thing I'd like to point out is you can get around the combo count problem you mentioned at the end of the video with the Melee Guidance aura. With negative combo duration on Desert Wind, and something that adds duration on your normal melee combo duration, you never get combo count on DW itself.
melee guidence aura works to negate combo counter on serene Storm the best element combination is corrosive vs armored (if not running with primer) viral vs armored enemies (grinner or corrupted) toxin for corpus gas for infested praedos with the ammo evolution can make you not have to go out of your serene storm to get combo void damage (aka, xatas wisper) can be use in serene storm same for nourish AND you can one shot a acolyte with a slide attack (most of the time)
Instead of running a blood rush "stat stick" that super finicky, I'd recommend just running the gladiator set on your melee(not desert wing) and making sure you aren't building combo with your actual melee; also got to make sure that when you are using desert wind to actually hit people with the fist not just the projectiles he fires in order to build combo. Besides that great video man :)
@@Orion2084 I see i see. I already have my own great Baruuk build, but i may try it later then. I'm so sooo glad to see that more people start to understand how brokenly powerful he really is as a whole. There's a ton of ways to tweak his build (not even counting the sleepy-baruuk) but it's clearly the kind of warframe to hide its true potential until the 3rd forma XD
Baruuk pre prime was so tucked away that no one really used him. I remember not knowing really anything about him, and figured since no one played him it wasn't worth going out of my way for. Then I saw what desert storm could do and I instantly when to go farm him. Easily in my top 3 Warframes, baruuk is just an absolute monster. I just hate running into violence in SP and losing all my stacks...
My main has since His release has (and likely will always) be Lavos, he always has stuck with me and I love his very good Jack-of-all-trades, highly active playstyle. (Hopefully he gets a vid soon(?)) Baruuk is the *one frame* that almost changed that though… He has a great theme to him and his kit is the epitome of “easy to learn hard to master” (and he is a very fun and scary strong frame to play even for people who play him once under a blue moon with a busted, copied build) and those that take the time to master his kit and playstyle are basically Transcendant beings who crossed from Tenno to outright Deity! Baruuk is a frame I don’t play much but when I do, I do so with great joy and once I finish up his prime he will be a staple among my frequents. Baruuk is a Monk of Peace, even if Peace is attained by tamed Violence… Also can I just say… The absolutely PERFECT consistency of production quality in these videos is beyond insane, it’s downright Eldritch how good you are at this!
Been a big fan of this man since release and have been pushing his greatness to my friends ever since, took like a 3 year break and only came back because I heard about baruuk prime, now for the mindmelting farm
Null Star, Desert Wind, Adaptation, Desolate Hands is a lot of DR, swap Lull for Null Star and use Elude for restraint depletion, all you have to do is get shot, although interesting probably not great for endurance.
One thing I want to add to 10:14: Baruuk's DR is better because it can proc "on hit" buffs like arcane strike, while rhino and revenant can't since their "tank mechanic" is not taking any damage at all
To be fair much higher levels you still need to shield gate or have a lot of health regen because DR doesn't scale as well as straight up not taking damage. Not to say that baruuk isn't a monster in 99% of content.
This is making me think of playing Warframe again. To main one frame instead of trying to play all of them. Serene Storm is still as fantastic as ever.
Baruuk has always been this super cool Warframe I wanted to play when I first started the game. And then I discovered the beauty of Wukong. And Barruk was forgotten.
BARUUK MAINS RISE UP!
From the final poll Mesa is next, it seems from the overwhelmingly positive reception from the Gauss Review, I'll continue this as a series, discussing every warframe in detail. Let me know what Warframe you want to see next in the comments! And as always, thank you for your continued support,
Do Yareli next, if you dare.
I think you should do Khora if you haven’t already!
I wanna see Protea if it's possible!
I’d like to see one for chroma
i know you probably won't see this but what's the mod config for baruuk used for this video?
Baruuk is not only amazing gameplaywise, but the concept of a monk with anger management issues is really cool.
basically the John Wick of warframe
And his name is blessed.
Imagine trying to make fun of a monk, thinking it won't harm you. Then the monk pulls up a pole, a rifle, & a bazooka, all aiming at you.

You know I didn't even think about it like that...
i always thought of desolate hands as a command phrase
Baruuk with Reactive Storm is what Chroma is supposed to be with the elemental adaptation gimmick
Chroma was more intended to change themselves based on their element, rather than changing their element based on their enemy. It just didn't work out very well.

Coming back to the music has been especially wonderful as I learn more about it. Also, I love your videos! You’re very well spoken, you’re very good at getting the main and important points across, and the video quality is 👌🏻 Keep up the good work!!! :)
You can use Melee Guidance to put the combo duration of desert wind to -1, that doesn't allow desert wind to build combo at all. This also means that you cannot use Dexterity arcanes because of their combo duration bonus, but this can be mitigated with naramon.
You can use melee guidance to get over the combo count bug as you can make it so that his 4 has a 0 second combo count which means you can never build-up combo
love the fact that you made a vid on gauss, the one i main, and then baruuk, the one i play the second most lol
I mean hey people did vote for Gauss first then Baruuk ;)
that thunder at the start scared the shit out of me ngl lol
Revenants Mesmer skin can be recasted at any moment tho so unless ur a noob, u should never run out of charges
"His winds are insane"
My dad Laughing in the back with a horrible stench:
"the only warframe that 3:39 uses no energy for it's exalted weapon" - what about hildryn ?
Her shields are her energy technicly
Desolate Hands is a verb. It's making their hands empty. Lull, and Elude are also verbs. So that's why it's called Desolate Hands. He's desolating your hands. Of your weapons. Perfect for leaving them empty to catch his hands during serene storm.
Man I love hearing Cool Edge as background music for vids
Can you make a video about Sevagoth? I think he’s really well designed.
“Once Rev loses his mesmer skin stacks” as if that ever happens.
as soon as baruuk came out i was invested. i find it crazy that a lot of people dont care much for him, he's my favorite frame rn
I thought I had clicked on a Warframe meditation video bro 💀
Baruuk has been my favourite and go-to Frame ever since it’s release. I get so much joy out of doing the slide attack with desert wind and listening to my ancient Monk release his anger
Not gonna lie that intro was enjoyable so now I want a whole video of it
for anyone looking for a better work around for serene storm combo fall off issue, if you run Melee Guidance on your aura slot, it brings you desert wind combo count duration to 0. this means you wont ever gain combo in serene storm thus nullifying the problem completely. You WILL want a combo duration mod on your stat stick melee to counteract this aura's effect.
hope this helps!
Yes but u also lose the dmg from building combo
Am I the only one with this problem??
I do experience the stack refresh thing but most notably. My 4 can COMPLETELY stop working. I'd be stuck in a half animation and no waves will come out nor can I attack. I'll literally be stuck like that til I die. Anyone else with that problem sometimes?
I found out about your channel today and I am absolutely loving your content, keep up the great work dude
I figured that this video seemed to lack the history and trivia that the other warframe dossier vids have, so here's a few fun facts, advice and/or tips and tricks:
-"desolate hands" may be in reference to the phrase "idle hands do the devil's work", as "desolate" could be interpreted as "empty" or "idle"
- his 3 used to consume your own daggers to give them to allies, but this was changed
- his 4's augment, Reactive Storm, used to only adapt on a direct fist hit, but this was changed
- he hasn't gotten a nerf yet and i absolutely fear the day he gets brought down
- his design is based on monks of some jewish description? i think? the wiki had something about that noted but i haven't had to see it in a while
- his prime access having a pistol seems antithetical to his vibes and he 100% should have come with daikyu prime no i'm not biased
- his exalted has combos that change depending on your block status; where normally enemies go sent flying away, if you block, it will pull them in, and one block combo you can do will also either pseudo- or lift enemies outright
- his exalted has a lot of knockback, but you can slide or heavy attack to deal insane damage without any knockback, which is very strong as you can imagine. I've had wild success with the slide against those flying sentient cunts with the utility belt of vape canisters
- the best way to enjoy Baruuk's kit is to subsume his 1 for an ability that doesn't scale with duration at all, and my personal pick is Hideous Resistance which is just Mesmer Skin but exclusively for status effects like knockdown, then dumpster duration in favor of maxing out strength. you don't even need a lot of range or efficiency, i think i have 70% range on my build and somewhere close to 275% strength and it's doing work
- because his Reactive Storm augment adds status chance that scales with ability strength
- his prime has no fancy visual changes to his abilities and it's the single biggest letdown in history because they could have done something fucking awesome like doing the "Avatar Mode orbiting rings of elements" thing with his daggers but nah
- his exalted wind blasts will hit enemies on a floor above him, but not below him
- his exalted weapon type, fists, are tied with claws and sparring weapons to have the single highest finisher multiplier on ground finishers at 30x damage (!!!) with the only higher value being 120x (!!!!!!!!) belonging to Valkyr's exalted melee, but the rest of the finishers only offer a standard yet consistent 8x damage multiplier
- some of his abilities sound like he's saying actual words, which not only adds a very real sense of "holy shit the human/orokin that turned into Baruuk has enough willpower and conviction in his pacifist ways to exert his will on the Operator even after the infested virus transofrmed and disifigured his body". It's a little hard to tell what he's saying with his first 3 if anything, but when he pops his 4 it sounds like he's saying "GET AWAY." and it's so damn cool
- i don't ship characters but if i did i like the idea that Valkyr was a ball of fury and mellowed out with her prime (canon according to the flavor text) and Baruuk is a chill guy with anger issues so they act like a foil to each other
- I laugh when people say Atlas is the real one punch man because you need a lot of investment in a statstick to come close, on top of needing 3 hits with his 1 to compete with even Baruuk's non-crits
- imagine not having 50% damage reduction that a nullifier can't take away lol lmao
Baruuk is my absolute favorite frame. I fell in love with his kit when i leveled him for the mastery and he's been a staple since, and he does so well that starting around Gauss' release, i had been using a dogshit build on his exalted and never noticed until I finally got my hands on his prime and copied my builds over. I spent 7 or so forma, and at least 3 of them are umbral between him and his exalted, and i don't regret a single one of them. my clan knows me as the "Baruuk guy" and ping me whenever someone has questions about his kit. I have 34% of my total ~1600 hours as him and i've also never bothered using a statstick with him because he genuinely doesn't need one.
I didn't go for Baruuk only thanks to starting the game, seriously, about a year and a half ago. I've been playing Prime frames as they release, effectively, and putting time into them.
I'm fairly sure Baruuk is going to be my main from here on. He's simply the best character for my playstyle, and I'm happy to have him in my arsenal.
You should start making warframe content man. I used to watch your destiny 1 content and it was amazing. I recently moved from destiny 2 to warframe and this game is amazing. I would definitely watch your content for it.
"The daggers don't look like hands"
Desolate hands means empty hands, pretty fitting for a disarming ability
He is the meaning of " Do not mess with me"
I hope this series of praising warframes keeps up, good stuff (No i'm not biased because it started with my main shut up)
15:30 You forgot Option C : Build Desert Wind with negative combo duration, but the statstick with positive combo duration.
That way you never build combo with your exalted weapon, and can just revert to your statstick when the combo gets too low for your taste.
The only drawback is you can never use Primary/Secondary Dexterity on your loadout. But seriously, does our favourite monk really need it ?
Been my favorite since he came out. Got him day 1 and never looked back! Love the love for him and even learned some new ideas on what to do with him from comments and video great stuff!
I like mesa because of her big buffs on 2,3 and 3 applying to others is just 👍🏻 also her amazing supporting abilities with all the energy and health orbs she spawns after pressing 4 and left click
You can take down a lot of restraint using his first. His first ability is under rated
"only character who doesnt use mana for their exalted weapon"
hildryn "hi"
As a Baruuk main, I like his first ability. I think it’s fun to let the enemies attack me before unleashing the storm on the entire map.
If you use the aura mod that reduces combo time you can get negative combo duration for desert wind which will prevent stacks from building on direct hits
Alright, universe! Fine! I'll fucking buy Baruuk Prime..
Hearing sonic unleashed music brought back memories i thought long ago suppressed
I remember when his 4 augment came out, as an Excalibur main, I cried that day
Trying to purchase Baruuk Prime is he available on PS5. The in game store say PS4 item. Cannot get anyone in Q and A chat to respond
Got Baruuk Prime a few days ago and goddamn, he's so much fun. I don't even have his Serene Storm augment and he still feels overpowered
He's been my favorite since I got him.
Honestly, started running a sleep build with endless lullaby and I've been having a shit ton of fun with it
I think “Desolate Hands” is in reference to the enemies hands being disarmed.
As a destiny player who mains arc hunter, this will be the first thing I grind for since coming back to warframe after 8 years.
Baruuk not being able to use his full kit in short missions is kinda baller though. Like if you bust out your 4 it's because shit is actually getting serious.
That's kinda the point right? If you're not destroying shit it's because you don't need to be. Just vibe with your other abilities until you actually need to pop off.
I like Baruuk really well...in ESO and survival (where he's a beast). However, in most other mission types there just isn't enough mob density to have good uptime on his 4...at which point why play this frame? Basically what it comes down to is that I don't have a whole lot of use for a frame where if I accidentally queue with it I'll want to go back to my orbiter and pick something else.
Just slap Pillage on his forst ability slot and you have a literally unkillable beast who can hit whatever the game throws at you no matter the level
Did they fix the combo stack thing yet?
I just wish my main Excalibur would get some love... They are essentially the same just that baruuk is 10000x stronger... With less effort even...
*@NovaUmbral*
If I see *ANOTHER* “Harrow Chassis” blueprint. 🗿
It allways feels wrong when i See the frame on the right Side of the Screen xD
Great video! One thing I'd like to point out is you can get around the combo count problem you mentioned at the end of the video with the Melee Guidance aura. With negative combo duration on Desert Wind, and something that adds duration on your normal melee combo duration, you never get combo count on DW itself.
melee guidence aura works to negate combo counter on serene Storm
the best element combination is
corrosive vs armored (if not running with primer)
viral vs armored enemies (grinner or corrupted)
toxin for corpus
gas for infested
praedos with the ammo evolution can make you not have to go out of your serene storm to get combo
void damage (aka, xatas wisper) can be use in serene storm same for nourish
AND you can one shot a acolyte with a slide attack (most of the time)
Instead of running a blood rush "stat stick" that super finicky, I'd recommend just running the gladiator set on your melee(not desert wing) and making sure you aren't building combo with your actual melee; also got to make sure that when you are using desert wind to actually hit people with the fist not just the projectiles he fires in order to build combo. Besides that great video man :)
Man, who DOESNT love Sonic OSTs? They’re just so good most of the time.
Stat stick for combo is super clunky. Run naramon and dexterity mods and build the crit off the the fists themselves with 20 seconds of combo
3:27 I mean .... hildryn also doesnt use energy for her exalted weapon
Well technicly her shields are her energy
For the bug at 14:30 use the aura mod melee guidance to make serene storm negative combo count using the stat stick combo only
Melee guidance reduces combo duration not combo count
@@arkohnlock4409 It makes your desert wind have a -1 combo duration meaning it is impossible to build combo with it so this bug will not occur
@@Orion2084 Ohhh i see then okay ! It's strange but i get it now, thanks for the precision
@Ar'kohn Lock Azinvasion Plays has a video on it. it's his newest buruuk build video it's the 2nd build he showcases
@@Orion2084 I see i see.
I already have my own great Baruuk build, but i may try it later then.
I'm so sooo glad to see that more people start to understand how brokenly powerful he really is as a whole.
There's a ton of ways to tweak his build (not even counting the sleepy-baruuk) but it's clearly the kind of warframe to hide its true potential until the 3rd forma XD
You should hide the melee weapon if you’re using the left shoulder camera because it blocks a bunch and can get real annoying
Just finished watching this and your Gauss video. Needless to say that after a year of not touching warframe, I am now reinstalling it.
Glad your back tenno!
Baruuk pre prime was so tucked away that no one really used him. I remember not knowing really anything about him, and figured since no one played him it wasn't worth going out of my way for. Then I saw what desert storm could do and I instantly when to go farm him. Easily in my top 3 Warframes, baruuk is just an absolute monster. I just hate running into violence in SP and losing all my stacks...
"I'm a pacifist. I only shoot self-burrying parasytes that eat out and explode brains for sports."
My main has since His release has (and likely will always) be Lavos, he always has stuck with me and I love his very good Jack-of-all-trades, highly active playstyle. (Hopefully he gets a vid soon(?))
Baruuk is the *one frame* that almost changed that though… He has a great theme to him and his kit is the epitome of “easy to learn hard to master” (and he is a very fun and scary strong frame to play even for people who play him once under a blue moon with a busted, copied build) and those that take the time to master his kit and playstyle are basically Transcendant beings who crossed from Tenno to outright Deity! Baruuk is a frame I don’t play much but when I do, I do so with great joy and once I finish up his prime he will be a staple among my frequents. Baruuk is a Monk of Peace, even if Peace is attained by tamed Violence…
Also can I just say… The absolutely PERFECT consistency of production quality in these videos is beyond insane, it’s downright Eldritch how good you are at this!
Been a big fan of this man since release and have been pushing his greatness to my friends ever since, took like a 3 year break and only came back because I heard about baruuk prime, now for the mindmelting farm
I know the video is a few months old but would you mind shaaring what build you were using for baruuk during the game play?
Sonic unleashed. What a cultured man
Tried him once in the circuit. Now I'm trying to farm him. Such an awesome frame!
Gunna be funny watching you get famous because of this series
I'm gonna be honest, if you find yourself a bullet hose enemy then allude is the best way of depleting restraint
Doesn’t all of sevagoth’s abilities work towards getting his shadow? 1:52
Yeah but he forgot bout sevagoth
Desolate Hands is named after the result of the ability - enemies with empty hands. The name has nothing to do with the daggers themselves.
I know I'm kinda late to the video but what's the track playing during the rainy intro section?
This is why I main Baruuk and he is a Jojo but a Jojo who got that DAWG in him
Null Star, Desert Wind, Adaptation, Desolate Hands is a lot of DR, swap Lull for Null Star and use Elude for restraint depletion, all you have to do is get shot, although interesting probably not great for endurance.
I have made a baruuk prime build and you are not lying, he is very cracked
Love to see all my baruuk mains
Off topic, but what colors are used in the fashion here? been loving all the fashions in your videos.
One thing I want to add to 10:14: Baruuk's DR is better because it can proc "on hit" buffs like arcane strike, while rhino and revenant can't since their "tank mechanic" is not taking any damage at all
To be fair much higher levels you still need to shield gate or have a lot of health regen because DR doesn't scale as well as straight up not taking damage. Not to say that baruuk isn't a monster in 99% of content.
Getting Baruuk Prime tomorrow :)
What is your fashion frame in this video its very nice
This is making me think of playing Warframe again. To main one frame instead of trying to play all of them. Serene Storm is still as fantastic as ever.
The one and only Warframe I have yet to unlock.
As a Excalibur main for several years since I started I respect baruuk absolute legendframe
Baruuk has always been this super cool Warframe I wanted to play when I first started the game.
And then I discovered the beauty of Wukong. And Barruk was forgotten.
You can't spell a monkey without monk
@@dankmemes8254 best comment
Barruk better
Even after his rework I still find wukong unappealing for some reason. Idk🤷
@@RapTapTap69 ill tell you why. Too strong. Too OP. Not even fun to play
