Warframe Prime Versions Should Have Better Stats

[YTakuyaY]

Let's take a look here. Prime weapons have better, and sometimes DOUBLE the stats of their normal version. Sure, people will argue that Prime version of Warframe will make their normal self obsolete, but people sure as hell DON'T complain about Prime weapons making their normal self obsolete! They freaking LOVE Bolrtor Prime, Latron Prime, Orthos Prime, Fang Prime, and etcetera Prime!

So?

Let's give 1.5-2x more shield regen, hp regen, and stamina regen rates to Prime Warframes!

Let's buff up Prime armors by 1.5-2x as well!

Let's save energy cost by 10-30% when using Prime Warframe!

Let Prime Warframe become TRUE PRIME (not cosmetic prime) once and for all!

Vote if you'd like this kind of adjustment.

[Tali]

Yes!

[tveeggad]

Meh.

[Kethus]

I think that would be fair only once all primes have been released.

[MagPrime]

I like them without extra abilities.  

[Deidaku]

Agreed , they are so hard to get yet only give you swag. Swag doens't kill grineer faster 

[IIJetfireII]

Buff the prime frames like you did with rhino prime.

Moved to the proper section.

i like the idea of prime frames having small buffs like faster run speed, higher shield recharge and higher armor.

 

and i do like the idea of a built in energy efficiency mod, maybe something like 10%.

[Sebastianx]

A small nudge under the hood would be nice indeed...like x1.1 more movement speed, a bit more max energy...stuff that doesn't really have much of an impact on combat.

[Orbister]

could be, otherwise primes are just fancy shiny... maybe istead of better they could have different stats broading the choice when building a "class"...

[WrothBog]

buffing primes can imbalance their abilities. right now it's one prime with a shield regen buff and one with a speed buff. but soon enough one has 10% higher energy pool base. then another has 10% higher power stat, then the abilities need to be balanced against two conflicting levels of power or efficiency between the prime and non prime.

 

excal prime having higher shield regen than the base isn't hurting anybody

 

rhino prime being faster is just annoying people because it lacks a tradeoff for being a big heavy tank. we might as well all play as rhino as it has no downsides. bring on generic frame abilities and the game will be complete.

Some buff would be appreciated. The whole "BS description BUT does nothing" approach to helmets, primes, etc. wastes lives.

That's far too much. Little things like Rhino Prime being 0.1 "speed points" faster than regular Rhino is fine.

 

The Primes are not supposed to make the regular versions entirely obsolete.

I agree otherwise they are just skins that you grind for which add nothing other then looks. If your gotta work for it it should be better then the normal since they suppose to be the orginal warframes. Might as well stop making prime warframes if they stats was exacty the same as the normal and just sell them as skins for existing warframes.
