Excaliber Umbra has better stats and umbra polarities, and since you have the mods I guess you have the frame (was a while since I did that, but I think they come together?) Also if you don't have it already, Healing Return or Life Strike on your melee could help some. And what the others said

gloom + healing return on melee really allow for sustainability. I understand those arent easily available. I am not as familiar with furious javelin, if this were my build I might swap it out for Hunter Adrenaline or Rage for energy income. With exalted blade out make sure you are slide attacking for the Radial Howl. I usually run a efficiency + duration build for excal to make his 4 drain 0.6 energy/s.
Furious Javelin is powerful, but excessively so. It gives you a huge multiplicative damage bonus with Exalted Blade, but tbh combined with Chromatic Blade you wind up doing so much damage that it's unnecessary.
I think it should be reasonably ok, except: no arcanes, and not even close to fully upgraded mods. Get þose mods up to max rank
2 pips from the top is fine unless he has like 10mil cred and 150k endo sitting around. But no arcanes is killer, especially at steel path level. Even if he doesn't bother with shield gating, I find the decaying dragon shield to be all around helpful
Is the only way to get the good arcanes from eidolons cause I don't really like farming eidolons.
Some of the best are indeed from eidolons, but you can beat all content without them. The alternative is to simply buy the ones you want with plat. Keep in mind max rank is a luxury, not a requirement on some arcanes
Max the mods and it should be okay, also your problem might be in the exalted blade build if you are having damage problems
I'm using a heat + corrosive mainly heat build and I've never had a problem with the damage its mainly surviving.
