Wolfstorm18 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) I like Volt, and I put a Forma on him recently, adding a D polarity for Redirection mod. But I agree entirely, and had also made a topic about him with my suggestions: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/112766-serious-issues-with-volt/ Also notice that Electric Shield limits weapon range: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/112282-volts-shield-limits-sniper-range/ Yesterday I tried to snipe with the Burston through the shield, at the Corpus hangar, and was not possible to damage anything beyond that range. Its not only the dam map thats affected, anyone trying to shoot at longe distances will have this problem. But I still like him, he is good for survival missions because of Speed, which is extremely useful when the pods are very distant from each other. Also you can combo his shield with Flux and Ignis.

Wolfstorm18 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Forget Neurodes, make him drop Mutagen Samples and you got yourself a deal. Make him drop Forma blueprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1CZERO Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Volt even has the record for most mod cards with him on it, so hey, at least he's fabulous. He's my favorite frame aestheticly. Other than rushing he blows chunks. Fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerostalis Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 He's my favorite frame aestheticly. Other than rushing he blows chunks. Fabulous! HA amazing picture. I really hope they give this guy a look ASAP. I would love to be able to have a reason to use him for t3....I mean sure, you CAN use him...but I should really just use my frost prime.

Batosaii Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Gotta say I agree, Overload is the biggest disappointment of all, The complete lack of invulnerability is bad enough but when you see the sort of damage output on top of it it's like adding insult to injury, Volt needs some kind of boost, he is a really fun frame, he is just too easily out classed.

BoompigXD Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Sorry, I do. I've been playing this since open beta started, and used Volt for half of it. His armour IS just as good as Frosts. That i've tested. Yes you can hack away at a Level 110 melee, its perfectly easy to do. Volt CAN kill things on T3 keys, as I said, in the VOID! Stick Focus and stretch and there you have it. Yes DE did lie to us, or they didn't think his powers out correctly. He NEEDS gunplay to make his powers good. I recommend you pursue a carrer in comedy Edited October 9, 2013 by BoompigXD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaurus Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I recommend you pursue a carrer in comedy And then immediately seek the nearest street and suntan in it. But joking aside,Volt is nothing like this guy says. I don't even think this guy uses Volt at all. Edited October 9, 2013 by Solaurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeAura Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Maybe if this thread gets enough momentum we will get Volt Prime and Scott will finally acknowledge his existence. Aknowledge Volt's existence? Volt is the stalker confirmed! And Volt can totally kill things in T3 void with Overload! The shield drones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganwybas Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Aknowledge Volt's existence? Volt is the stalker confirmed! And Volt can totally kill things in T3 void with Overload! The shield drones. then why did he wears armor Excalibur? On the topic, Volt described as similar firearms, then why can't he constantly hit by lightning?

NightmareT12 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Started playing the little guy today. Things that did immediately pass through my head: -Shock should indeed do a bit (perhaps a lot? I play as a Nekros regularly, Soul Punch just shames this) more damage. -Speed... shouldn't be an ability. He's the personification of lightning, he should have a higher speed by default. -Can't talk about Shield yet. -Overload should work more like Frost's Avalanche. Supercharge of electricity that is unleashed as in an explosion (Volt undamaged, of course). I mean, ever been struck by lightning? No? I do never wish that to anyone, but good lord! One would assume such a powerful force would be better represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahuHordika Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Volt seriously needs a buff I agree, the fact that all of his powers that deal damage only deal electrical damage (which I think is probably the most resisted, Corpus aside) is really a disadvantage. Mind you, I do not want his abilities changed entirely, but all of them could use some additions. Shock could use more damage and/or perhaps throw physics impact into the mix (I will admit I really don't know what to do with this one). Speed is great as it is now, but maybe it could use something like a damage reduction that is specifically applied while moving. Also since the trail now lasts the entire duration the FoV can go, or make it a toggle to those who don't want it. Shield could use something like a short range electrify on cast, and will also electrify enemies who get too close to it. Overload is tricky, but aside from more damage the biggest issue lies on Volt himself, so maybe it could give him a protective barrier that will massively reduce damage and make up for his inmovile suspension, and maybe a less powerful one for teammates within the power's radius. Of course these barriers' duration would be tied to the entire Overload power itself. I'm not the one to ask for balance changes, but I love Volt and I know he needs to be better. So just throwing my 2 cents here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parinirvana Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 For anything outside of the Overloads range that isn't being stunned, as you arn't invincible. It doesn't have a huge range, so its best used in smaller corridors. Thats why a combination of stretch and focus is great for overload. Stahp giving people misleading info please!!!! Overload is crap, don't tell people to build their Volt around increasing skill damage and range. Volt should be mod with Power duration/range with tankiness. Seriously, you only play Volt in level 20-30 zones or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatuchu Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 But because no one likes Volt a prime addition will be a long ways away, meaning.... Volt never gets reworked! I have a strong feeling that Volt is coming after ember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
