LODESAMONEY Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Wondering if it's worth investing in Frost Prime as an end-game 100+ frame. Roughly 100-150pp right now, give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NekroArts Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Tanking as in able to take hard hits moderately like Excalibur, Oberon, and Saryn? Yeah. Like Nidus, Inaros, and Chroma? No. Still he has a solid kit - hard cc, Avalanche strips portion of armor, and Snow Globe that absorbs damage for the first 4 seconds converting it to additional hp for it.

0 (PSN)FK2P Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 No. Not for current content anyway. In the past he did things no other warframe could, but now those roles are no longer really needed, infact most new enemies can telegraph attacks through his bubbles, and not even be frozen or slowed by his 4/1/2 so in new content, very unpredictable... The current big players are the frames that can survive energy drain, self sustain, and have high scaling damage but only in self buffs. DE are adding immune enemies so the top frames are now the ones that effect themeslves so they can reliably destroy anything in front of them, instead of relying on a CC/Debuff that might not even trigger.

0 Prime_Reckoner Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Gara is a much, much better frame than frost. And this is coming from someone who has played frost for 25 percent of his game time (300 hours) for 3 years. Get gara, learn how to use her, leave out frost. Irrelevant frame nowadays.

0 Xzorn Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm not sure Frost ever quite qualified as a tank by normal means. Few things do in Warframe. Nyx, Nidus and Nekros are some of the few who have threat management mechanics and not much else redirects damage or attention from other player's to yourself beside the gimmicky shield mods. Frost is a Defense frame for sure. He can protect the entire group easily on his own and scales forever. The only issue with Frost doing this. Least to the degree he can literally go to level cap in protection is that he has to make use the the Invulnerable period of Snow Globe. He has to cast the ability every 4 seconds so the Globe is effectively immortal. This doesn't leave Frost with a lot of time to do much else. Quick shot weapons fair well for him. Pretty much anything you can get a big boom off between casts. Outside that ultra scaling capacity he's still a good Defensive frame overall. Esp with his Ice Wave Augment. If by tank you mean his ability to take damage without these effects in place; not so much but he doesn't need to. Frost taking damage is Frost being played wrong for the most part.

0 Lutesque Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Tanking ? Nope.... Defense.... ?

0 VengefulSins Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 can he do 100+... yes he can is he worth investing into?... you will need the mastery points eventually...why not? is he outclassed?...id say he's not, but his toolkit needs a bit of a refresher since Gara can do his job aswell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 pebblepossum Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Frost is still great at protecting static defense objectives like Excavator drills. He should be considered a specialist frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Autongnosis Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Frost doesn't directly tank damage, he never has. He has soft and hard CC and a barrier, which means he can elude damage, but he never had the eHP to actually take a beating. His 4th augment, Icy Avalanche, has more worth as status prevention than as tanking ability since it doesn't scale exceptionally well. Still he has a spot almost everywhere, from mobile to defensive missions, thanks to his augments and excellent CC capabilities. At low levels he can also act as a nuker of sorts since avalanche has this weird explosion mechanic which makes its damage snowball real hard.

Straight from the wiki Zitat Damage percentage is applied to either the target's remaining health or 25% of its maximum health - whichever is greater at the time of cast. Each pulse inflicts at least 5 True damage. Those 25% scale nicely. Back on topic: I found Frost with Icy Avalanche is a great team protector in high level content. But I would never call him tank.

Trinity is and will forever (probably) be in the end game meta, being able to give wide spread energy, and topping off everyone in the party (within affinity range) to full with 75% damage reduction for however long you built her duration for? yes, she is meta, the metaest of meta, you just have to be willing to watch everyone else blow stuff up while you sit and enable them XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add that the damage can be boosted by things like Magnetize / M. Prime and you have a one-shot EV. Nuke Link Trinity is still a thing as well.
