Instinction Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Title. Most people think of earth as a defensive element, but I feel like the skills of a defensive earthframe would tread far too much into Frost's and Rhino's territory, so here is what I suggest: I think this should be a high damage, short to mid range, AOE frame, BUT with it's AOE skills having defensive utilities. Such as his ultimate could be something along these lines: Earth frame summons a number of mid size stoney pillars around him in a circle (start with 3 go to 6?) that do an extremely high amount of damage, but in a small radius around the player, with each pillar having it's own small AOE radius around it. However, these pillars will stay up for awhile (hp like frost globe or just a base duration?) providing cover for players and will be climbable to be used as a vantage point or to reach high places. Increasing the rank of the mod will increase the number of pillars (max of 6?), increase the damage, and increase the overall size of the pillar and the AOE of each pillar. So here we have a short range, high damage ult, that provides a utility defense of stone pillars to provide cover, which can be upgraded to a mid-ranging ult. I think these types of abilities would make an absolutely awesome Earth frame. (Maybe earthframe could be released with new earth tile-set and boss? :D) Edited February 17, 2014 by Instinction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamescell Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't think we need anymore elements added to the damage system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instinction Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't think we need anymore elements added to the damage system. A new earth element doesn't have to be added. Make it's attacks do impact damage or something else that fits, maybe corrosive. Air element wasn't added for Zephyr, so there is no real reason they couldn't add an earthframe.

JohnProdman Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Warframe doesn't have magic. Void corruption isn't going to allow us to make chunks of dirt appear out of nowhere while we're on a spaceship. No support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ember can make fire blast out of the ground. Frost can summon ice boulder from the sky. Zephyr makes tornadoes pop out of nowhere. You're really say there can't be earth pillars that pop out of the ground? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnProdman Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yes. No, I am not trolling, but there has to be a point where we say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it can use nano machines to build the towers, rearranging the molecules of the terrain its used on into something suitably earthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elydir Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instinction Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sounds familiar. Eh. Not really. One of his abilities involves walls being used for cover but that's about it. The execution of his skills is totally different from my line of thinking. He wants to have abilities that are directly utility or defensive in nature. I want short range nukes that have a utility or defensive effect, making that effect be less effective and still more geared towards offense.
