Frost Snow Globe

[UdsUds]

Give Frost the ability to press X and pick up the snow globe he is inside. Hold Cast while inside the snow globe to make follow you around or something; but holding outside will still do the current de-spawn of all globes.

So I can be like an Artic Eximus unit.

No because ur teammates cant shoot through it, it would become quite the troll device.

Frost Snow Globe currently works for defending key points, so giving it a Volt shield treatment would not be efficient.

What i would propose, would be a Vauban Bastille/Vortex treatment to Snow globe: Tap to cast your regular globe that you can still break with Freeze (i still believe Freeze should be removed or reworked from the ground up, and add the ability to tap the snow globe button while inside the globe, to remove it) and then Hold Snow globe button to create an ice armor around Frost.

That way you have better defenses for frost himself, and the same legendary defensive power for key locations and targets.

I got another one:

• Cast snow globe normal.
• Can still be remove normally as well.
• NEW - Hold cast button while inside the snow globe to shrink it, and eventually make it an aura.
• While in aura form it will retain the slow area at max range (before the shrink) as well as can be affected by the augment.
• Aura gives a 5 meter (not affected by mods) damage shield for Allies and DEFENSE object. "50% damage efficiency transfer to UI frost globe counter."
• Ability will only be dispel if frost go inside of a Nullifier bubble (not if the nullifier on range of aura effect thou they will still be immune to effect). 
• Casting while aura is active, will add the current health counter to the globe.

Just another idea.

What do you mean, "current"? Pretty sure that's not actually a thing.

Mind, I'd certainly welcome such a function, Freeze only being good for this "synergy" is pretty terrible,
remove that and make the ability by itself properly useful (and also replaceable via Helminth without losing Globe removal lol).

FWIW, his 4 Augment already does that (potentially for the whole Squad), I'd rather see that Mod buffed, i.e. scale with enemy levels or something.

I know frost has an augment that does that. But honestly? After many tests I ran on my frost, the augment isn't really worth it. Even if it is a team armor, it requires both range and strength to properly work, and won't work on the same enemy again. You get far better defense results by increasing your own health, armor and strength with mods like Carnis carapace,  armored agility, adaptation, umbral mods.

Must be my future sight working at it again.

Even if it scales, you are better of with an initial damage reduction. In mid to higher level mission enemy just nuke the "counter" because armor does not affect it. I haven't tested adaptation thou. (Thou this is already an "augment"; a mod, and slotting another mod, "adaptation" will even put more limit to the build.)
