BrotherIcarus Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 He is more than worth keeping. Spend that plat on a new slot. As for an offensive build for him well it does not really work in high level missions, but it does in low to mid level missions if you want to have some fun with his AoE go for a max range and max efficiency build.

AshenLaoShan Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Frost prime is my main tank and my trustworthy companion. His sphere is great in every situation, can be used both defensively and offensively and his 2 wrecks, his 4 is nice and his 1 helps when you are fighting bosses.

Suupa-Kistu Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 While the recent nerfs to Frost hit his prime variant as well... he is still very much worth keeping :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostthejack Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Keep him He is worth it. Build it with intensify and streamline. Use steal fiber vitality and rage. Also stretch. If you have forma's you are willing to spend as well as some corrupted mods you can drop some of his abilities in favor of more power and efficiency. Max your efficiency your power add stretch add armor and rage and vitality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darzk Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I like this build, with a single forma: http://goo.gl/kw24MV 2 and 4 abilities do significant damage, Snowglobe doesn't last all that long but is cheap to recast and likely wont break early from damage, surprising you.

biowizard50 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 hmmm yea just went for infestation tried his second just wowed so i should keep 2,3,4 . 1 cant seeks nearby tragets like volt shock and why vitality rather than redirection (even thou i use the rejuvenate aura) and rage?

Hyunsai Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 As long as you don't intend to do very high level stuff, he should be fine, like most frames of the game. Vitality is good because of the slash procs and ice hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darzk Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Max Vital = +440% health = +440 health = 718.67 EHP Max Vigor = +120% Shields +120% health = +180 shields +120 health = 360 eshield + 196 health = 556 EHP While Vitality adds more effective health, I choose Vigor so I can take 360 more damage before I start taking health damage, which is harder to recover than shields. Ice levels suck tho. Still, either mod is a valid choice, personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachPrime Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Frost Prime might be my favorite. I use him a lot even in the Void, considering they recently buffed Snow Globe to be invincible for a short time. Definitely useful when you and your team have five corrupted gunners coming at you at once. But I wouldn't say he can be too terribly offensive... though Avalanche (4th) comes in handy in a bind -- but not quite as handy as, say, Rhino Stomp. I find him to be useful for pretty much any type of mission. Just find the right crew to complement your Frosty and you can easily do an hour in T3 survival. Just be sure to max Intensify.

Cryozar Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 This is currently an offense build I like to use (you can substitute overextended with stretch if you're not fond of the damage loss and you *could* use vitality instead of steel fiber since there's no globe in that build, but note this isn't meant for late game survival and endless defenses as you definitely want snowglobe for those (not sure about globe uses against infested though) http://goo.gl/aRvZod This one i haven't really tested this build yet, but using constitution will make fleeting only lower snowglobe's duration by 10 seconds, which is more than enough time if you need it for that long for some reason, though you may just want to slap on flow instead of constitution if doing late game survivals or endless defenses since I've heard that bubble will pop after about 8 seconds in there. you could trade off ice wave or avalanche if you feel you're not using it a lot with this build and put in your own personal preference as well, though I don't think range increasing/decreasing mods affect snow globe's slow field http://goo.gl/jUXf0P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biowizard50 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 hmm yea but looking for a no forma build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryozar Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well, then these should put you through most content that's not high lvl survivals and defenses, but if you find a liking to Frost Prime, you definitely want a few forma for more flexibility. http://goo.gl/v07o7k http://goo.gl/PMiORq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude1000 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Definitely worth keeping if you love semi tanking and slowing things down. Modding him with strength mods should get you through most survivals, while efficiency ones allow you to spam most abilities. Unless you have a range mod tho, never spam snowglobe because unless your inside, its a painto shoot enemies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnFusterCluck Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 He is a Prime (I'm not saying Primes are worth more than certain frames) but all the time it took to acquire the parts, build the parts and build the frame itself... I think he is more than worth keeping. He fills in a semi-tank caster role. While not as tanky as say, Rhino, he does his "tank" job by casting his Snowglobe. But he can also fill in as an offensive caster. Maxed Focus, Stretch, Streamline are pretty much all the mods you need to be an offensive caster. But, as with all frames, you might want a Vigor mod (which gives both health and shields). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakosta_Kai Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Spend the 20 and get the extra slot. There really isn't a frame in the game that isn't worth keeping if you have it and have it maxed. The only caveats to that would be if that frame doesn't match your playstyle at all or there were cosmetic concerns. If you are purely offensive, Frost might be a bad fit as his abilities (when they work right) create offensive options as opposed to simply creating mass carnage. That said though... When melee 2.0 comes out, Frost is going to be vicious. Everyday will be a Winter Wonderland, and he'll be the only one dressed for the weather.

Wallace24 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 definitely worth it, still a great frame, I think the invulnerability mechanic and addition of armor have made snowglobe pretty usable again I love running offensive frost prime on lower level missions. with maxed power strength, you can still kill grineer into the low 30's. Ice wave is my go-to skill. blind rage, intensify, stretch, fleeting expertise, streamline are all you need for that. if you want to run offensive+snow globe, you need to tweak the range (giant snowglobe isn't usually very helpful), and add duration. but those 5 aforementioned mods are all you need for ice wave or avalanche spam. also the squall helm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplodingStars Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Every Warframe is worth keeping since there's always a chance that it would get reworked/buffed/nerfed that you'll want to see directly yourself in the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biowizard50 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 hmm yea i got vigor and all those mods that u mentioned except for fleeting but i currently use a mix of offense and defense so i keepice wave,snow globe and avalanche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
