Beheader87 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Frames that have abilities that revolve around the elements shouldn't be affected by their own element or effects on ships(ice on a mission), right? So why isn't it like that? Examples: Ember has an ability where she literally lights herself on fire, but can still be damaged by fire? Frost creates an isolated globe with nothing but cold and snow, but still has half shields on missions with ice? Saryn emits enough toxin from her body to clear an entire room, but can still be damaged by toxin damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJunior Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I agree with this. It never made sense to me why Elemental frames got damaged by their Elements. I think it'd also make Frames more unique, Too. If they did gain Elemental resistances per Frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtus_Dei_Est Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 i cant give you any reason. at least the damage from the same element should be reduced. but the answer eludes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essai Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't think they should be immune to their own element, but they could be resistant to it at least. Maybe a 25% - 50% damage reduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnbeBleeder Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This has been brought up before... Like 20 times.. But okay. I think it would work, like Vauban/Booben and Volt being electrically resistant. While Booben is only 50% resistant. People say it would break balance but not to me. It would make frames more unique. Perhaps Excal could have like 25% resistance to everything etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem that i see now is that DE would add a weakness for a buff - "balance" - for example if we get ember fire resistance, they will add ice weakness, just for the LOLs. better to leave the thing untouched =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean shouldn't ember be more affected by ice? It's logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking. And, Again it'd make the Frames feel more different too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
