Read my edit. Blast damage has a negative to armor, which effectively acts as an armor buff AND DR.
which would result in a 25% bonus to armor, and 25% reduction to incoming damage, giving 99.3% damage reduction

Ah yes, i see what you mean. It's still correct, I'm just accounting for damage types of the average enemy, not just baseline. Becauae the baseline will never happen in game
there is no damage type which would cause 24537 armor to result in 99.6% damage reduction against ferrite armor, as that would require a -50% damage penalty, and no damage type has lower than -25%
the damage reduction of 24537 armor is actually 98.8%
edit: also, on a side note, chroma's base armor is 350, not 325

That is exactly what i used to calculate. And my math history speaks for itself.
okay, put 24537/24837 in a calculator and then say that again

It's a percentage of your frames energy. The more you have, the more it gives you, so caster frames seriously benefit from it.
so it's 50 energy at max, since it's a percentage of base energy

Armour/(armor+300)
That's the WF formula for armor, taken from the wiki, tested and confirmed in mission
that's not what you used to calculate though, or you're just REALLY bad at math

Why would you want to change that? With absolutely nothing but Entropy Burst it can reach 50% status chance, what's so bad about that? With this one mod you can literally make the Supra a hybrid bullet hose since you no longer need to dedicate that much mod capacity to status anymore and can work on crit, my Supra (Vandal) has no forma and has 40% crit and around 80%+ status, isn't that amazing enough for you?
And yeah, energy's nice
or you could use a single dual stat mod and get 48% status as well as 60% damage of your element of choice
-
oh boy, I love that single energy orb's worth of energy, as well as a whopping 1000 Magnetic damage

Back before the weapon balance pass, supra was a base damage weapon, unable to be built for either crit or status, with 2.5% crit chance/1.5x crit multiplier and 5% status chance
The augment mod, Entropy Burst, served to make the supra status viable by adding a flat 20% status chance.
But now that the supra has 30% base status, Entropy Burst is almost completely overshadowed by dual stats which add 18% status chance as well as 60% elemental damage.
Some suggestions are:
Weapon draws straight from maximum ammo supply, similar to how bows work (no reloading)
something similar to the tetra mod where bullets ricochet

Yes it buffed total armour, while base armour is buffed by steel fiber, ice elemental ward and such.
Chroma's base armor is 325. A 299% PS build with steel fiber and Ice color would be 325*(1+1.1+1.5*2.99) which is 2140.125 armor. Remember, a multiplier is the percentage divided by 100. Multiply The base by scorn (1+3.5*2.99), and the armor you get is 24536.5331, rounded to 24,537. I have done the math (math major and renown WF math guy and theorycraft) this is a 99.6% DR, or better put as a 246.365311x EHp multiplier.
Ehp is the amount of damage you can take before dying. With the 299% PS build and vitality+vigor (a popular combo, but not my personal choice), you get 207k EHp. That's how much damage you can take before dying.
Nowadays, it's all additive, so the same build today WITH arcanes to help (since they can now be acquired a whole lot easier and thus a build standard), you get 325*(1+1.1+1.5*2.99+3.5*2.99) or 6741.25 armour, which is 95.74% DR. This is less than nidus, trinity, mirage, or mesa. His EHp now is 20.2k, while trinity sits at 180k, mesa sits at 92.5k, and nidus sits at 150k with extra lives and natural regen.
A simple solution is to give Elemental Ward the total armor multiplier of before for all elementals, so he's tanky no matter what element, which greatly helps build diversity. Of course, I'd lower the vex armor base armor buff to around half to be fair. It really doesn't benefit teammates all that much. Only frames like rhino or valkyr really get the benefits, so it's not hurting much. Btw, a level 200 corrupted bombard in Mot with the 3x damage boost yet have will 1 shot a chroma now unless you use an insane build like i do.
thank you
how are you calculating damage reduction?

Chroma still remains to be a top tier survival frame. It is just that his Vex armor buffs were way out of proportion in comparison to other armor giving frames. It is not so much a nerf as a balancing. Also I main Chroma but he was way to hard to kill prior and I will say that this was very necessary. There could be some rebalancing needed but that is up to DE.
chroma isn't even the tankiest frame
rhino could get higher eHP with ironclad charge
nidus could get higher eHP (not evening mentioning undying) with parasitic link
wukong is literally immortal
inaros could get similar eHP with literally no upkeep, now he can get even more with the buff to arcane guardian
trin can get higher eHP now as well
even NOVA can get higher eHP than chroma
edit: "could" as in the past tense, not the hypothetical, meaning before the nerf

old ice chroma vs new ice chroma
old ice chroma with 200 strength no armor mods: 9800 armor = 33.67 times effective health
new ice chroma with 200 strength no armor mods: 3500 armor = 12.67 times effective health
that's just over a third of his old effective health
now for some other builds
old ice chroma with 299 strength no armor mods: 20,090 armor = 67.97 times effective health
new ice chroma with 299 strength no armor mods: 5232 armor = 18.44 times effective health
that's less than a third, closer to a quarter of his old effective health
old chroma with 200 strength and a ward other than ice and steel fiber: 5145 armor = 18.15 times effective health
new chroma same condition: 2835 armor = 10.45 times effective health
just over half of old effective health
you can't argue with numbers, this is a straight nerf to every chroma build's survivability, and it wasn't even listed in the patch notes

if you actually read the post, you'd know I just want all the strengths of the tigris series (I.E bleed damage and purity effects) in the same weapon.
And that's why we said no

Yeah, how bout no

If you haven't gotten the update on console yet, his vex armor is getting "reworked" along with a bug fix

10 damage, even if it accepts mods, even on a weapon that fires 50 rounds a second, is still really low. A single shot from my lex prime would out-damage it for a few seconds. I'd suggest boosting it's base damage to around 50-75, and perhaps tilt it's IPS into 40% puncture, 40% slash, and 20% impact.
Also, that gatling gun better have infinite ammo or else I'll be really sad
it's a channeled weapon, it has unlimited ammo so long as you have energy
and don't forget that it scales with power strength and he has a damage and status boost ability, along with the status potential of 50 rounds per second, so 50 damage would probably be a bit too much, maybe 20-25

Did someone say invasions?
Dark Souls 5 is looking pretty good

If Bulwark actually becomes a frame and is released by DE, how long until the Internet crops his head and puts it over the "Meet the Heavy" video from Team Fortess 2?
Exactly 12 seconds

Gara can be very helpfull to stun them and protect your Operator with MV. Using Exca's RB then use the Op is another way to get rid of them quickly.
You're exaggerating. Sentients spawn a lot more than that and they never come alone.
They spawn every 5 minutes in groups of n + 1, n being the number of players in the squad

Chroma needs to be fixed badly and I think I know how to fix him?
