But Is It Any Good? | Warframe Grimoire Review

One important note is that since this weapon has infinite ammo and never needs to reload, it scales with fire rate really, really well.

its a free weapon that can handle steel path and is given to you before you even have steep path unlocked. Thats honestly pretty good to me.

I like reading

Yeah i do think the lack of immediate access to any of the mods that provide this weapon's unique function has hurt it's potential in the eyes of a lot of players

Grimoire is a good addition. It brings utility to your weapon set up which is DMG/Utility. Before the grimoire, the only efficient weapon set up you could have was DMG/AOE, DMG/Other status DMG, or DMG/Primer.

We have three weapon slots, not every weapon needs to be unga bunga me kill room. Having another slot to throw some utility into sounds great. Energy Book is probably going to be my go to just to free up the mandatory arcane energize slot or to be able to more easily run different focus schools aside from Zenurik.

It would make so much more sense to have the canticle mods work on abilities, it’s a literal spellbook!

I think you're spot on about people not liking it due to not having the mods. I just came back after 2 months, got it and started the newest content and wasn't a fan of it. I didn't even know the mods existed until I saw your video. I think this is definitely a primary reason for the discontent for a lot of people.

AFAIK, channeled abilities live update their energy drain based on your efficiency, so it doesn't snapshot. It does, however, snapshot your strength.

It's always nice to get weapons whose role is actual utility like the Scourge Prime or the Praedos and it's even better when they're solid on their own. Doesn't really need to be a room nuker or enemy disintegrator to be useful that way.

I'm glad you're back and feeling better Mr. Zime! Always excited to watch your new uploads, this one especially because i did not touch that book at all after leveling, seems like worth getting into it!

Gauss really works well with this and the duration-boosting invocation. His fire rate buff really improves the charge rate of the secondary fire and he wants as much duration as he can get.

The Grimoire has become my go-to on Yareli because I hate aiming precisely on Merulina and Critical Flow boosts the DPS a significant bit.

I wish the book was another weapon that went to level 40

As a support-oriented player I personally love the grimoire. Hoping for more unique support-esque weapons in the future!

I love the support aspect and value of the Grimoire. Think its an excellent addition to the game. Agree with your point of that some of its factors being active by just having it equipped instead of firing it would be a game changing buff for many frames.

I think that the book provides a much needed utility for non-support frames who don't typically run with a support backing them up. Even for support frame mains (like myself), the book does provide an extension to their utility prowess. I don't use it very often, but I do enjoy it and it does make an impact on the sessions I bring it on.

I agree with your words about players getting used to the power of Incarnons. I've been a bit confused by the performances of some weapons such as Staltha, Battacor, Secondary Tombfinger, Sepulcrum, even my old favorite Trumna lately. But it is true that Incarnon weapons are the endgame and that explains the power difference. It is also worth noting that getting headshots is not always easy especially in squads, or depending of your playstyle (running around with Gauss while seeking for heads isn't super comfortable). I've noticed that doing the Gargoyle's Cry event with Latron Incarnon is sometimes a bore because you just don't have the time to find enough enemies heads to charge your Incarnon. If the Grimoire doesn't kill fast enough, there are plenty of solutions to make it viable and it will buff you in return. Annihilating 20 level 200 SP heavy gunners in seconds shouldn't be the standard. If a weapon is able to do that, it's just super busted.

I hope you feel better soon man great video

I think in general I feel like I want my warframe builds to work without using a super specific weapon with a super specific build. It is pretty funny on fire rate spammers like Gauss and the (much better than blades) Merulina Guardian Yarelis.
