CazadorDeWulf Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Give him some armor. That's all. Maybe give Mag and Mag Prime the same treatment. These feel like dollar store toys compared to other Warframes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirka Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 No. Volt does not need armor to be viable. If you think he does, you are simply using him wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazadorDeWulf Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Didn't say he wasn't viable. Didn't say armor would change his viability. Any frame is viable, essentially. Just want some armor. Hard to do any Grineer highish level content solo with Volt without excessive shield building and a number of unique tactics. He's my most played frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohmlink Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don't believe these frames need more armor, shields in general need to be improved as they are far and away much worse than armor. Here a few things that could potentially be done to improve them: Status and Damage cannot go through shields until they are depleted (Toxin and bleed procs don't ignore them.) Shield Gates - already being looked at but allows shields to obsorb large bursts of damage before they deplete without letting the damage hurt the user. Resistance changes - simply making them highly resistant to most damage types could improve their performance. Faster Recharge Speed - Reducing or removed the charge delay when shields are damaged. Armor for shields - I've seen it called nano armor or shield density but basically its an armor for shields the more you have the more resistant it is. TL;DR DE needs to buff shields in general, homogenizing all frames to have 800 armor reduces build diversity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzorn Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Volt with QT has more eHP than Volt with Vitality and Redirection combined. I'd suggest starting with that. More Armor isn't really going to help. I've had QT save me against lvl 250 MOT enemies and that's all your can really ask for. Armor doesn't really do much on it's own in this game.

Teridax68 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don't think Volt needs armor, though I do feel he could stand to benefit from immunity frames while casting Discharge, as it's his main source of survivability besides his deployable shield, and locks him in place over a fairly long animation, thereby acting as a self-stun. As others have mentioned, Volt is a frame whose defenses come primarily from CC and shields, rather than health or armor, so in this respect giving him more armor may not even benefit him that much relative to many other frames.

Tiltskillet Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don't play a lot of Volt, so I can't say if he needs a survivability boost. But if he does need it, it seems very odd to propose one that is so off-theme. Better shield mechanics (Either generally, or Volt-specific.), enhanced CC, or improvements to his 3 would make a lot more sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazadorDeWulf Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I did not once state that Volt needed Armor. But okay, let's just only look at the manner in terms of the highest-level gameplay that could possibly be played. Not every noob has Quick Thinking, so yeah. I just can't even. Give him some armor, it will make it easier for newer players and also not necessitate building an exact set of mods on Volt every time for "Da best" survivability. I think Quick Thinking is a bandaid for any imbalance in Frame stats. But yeah go ahead and educate me on how everyone is using Volt wrong and how he doesn't need armor because you're bored and have spent too much time in the game. No discussion to be had here. Just lock the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
