Farren Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Damage amplification. Better crowd control. Better defense against projectiles. Speed is irrelevant. Hitscan is a crutch, not a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farren Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Electric shield is one of the best defense in the game Snowglobe. Chaos. Rhino stomp. M Prime. Iron Skin. Turbulence. Radial Blind. ES is just a really thin wall that can be a damage down and can't move. All but SG are mobile and better. SG is statistically and practically better than ES. Hell you can make SG an ES that works in 360 degrees and doesn't mess with your damage. ES can't defend the Cryopod as efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelSouls Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Electric shield is one of the best defense in the game So much to learn. -_- Turbulence is easily 90000000x better than ES as it prevents you from being able to be hit by bullets from a 360 degrees radius while allowing freedom of motion and not being static, It may not protect from bombards lock ons but they are infrequent and easily avoidable.

Wallace24 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Damage amplification. Better crowd control. Better defense against projectiles. Speed is irrelevant. Hitscan is a crutch, not a requirement. ^yeah, these would be nice it's all about CC and damage buffing for high-level content. and trinity. maybe this water frame will complement volt, though, if he/she has a skill sort of like accelerant that buffs electric damage. I'm thinking electric and ice would be fitting. then volts skills might do alright with a little synergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynick Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Volt is good but not great. He is very fun to play but you are still outclassed by frames which perform more specific roles. Electric shield could be so much better if you could increase its size with range mods OR if it was mobile in front of your character. Either of these things would make Volt far more viable for high tier content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Lord_Gremlin Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Best defense depends, it is either Rhino iron skin which is personal knockback defense or Trinity Blessing which is invulnerability. Volt is indeed pretty useful in hard missions though. I see a lot of them in T3 towers. Other common frames there are Trinity, Rhino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neKroMancer Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Volt is all-round frame but far from what I would call end game frame. 1. Stun from shock is too short. Damage is negligible. 2. Eshield is stationary power and area which it covers is very little. The only saving grace is how it turns projectile into hitscan and eliminates shotgun falloff. But that isn't enough to compensate lack of mobility. 3. Speed is probably going to be a bit more important in melee2.0 since you can use it to close gap quite quickly. 4. His ultimate is rather meh. Damage with little utility is pointless in high level. He needs better CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When doing high level content iron skin becomes irrelevant and a waste of time modding for as enemies drop it so quickly, but trinity definatley and although volts damage is better than it was, it's still not above average.

Quizel Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Rhino's Iron skin is paper thin at high level :D. not sure if it's the same for you ps4'ers. Rhino's cc everything for 50m what makes him shine imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rompido Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) volt is NOT an endgame frame banshee / nova / rhino / loki / frost / Nyx / Neckro / trin / and some others are. but not volt. Edited March 30, 2014 by Rompido Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiminez_Burial Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Many things. Many many things. Lowest tier frame. I think you are forgetting Banshee. I know banshee can help in defence or really late-game survival, but Volt is just more useful all round. Stun, invisible shield (makes all weapons hit scan) & speed buff - what more could you want. People want everything there is, so to answer, we could want literally everything else. His speed effect could be a rainbow, when he uses overload he could be pulling the fingers, shock could turn weapons it useless pieces of metal, and Volt could have a helmet that benefits him without making it look like his eye swelled up, and is about to burst forth from his helmet leaving behind what could only be described as gummy lollies left on the side walk for a few too many months. I enjoy Volt btw, but end-game.... not really with the combat style that Warframe (or rather Warframe's community) has as its end-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Keiji_Haku Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The main question now should be Should they buff volt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiminez_Burial Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Question: what is considered endgame in this game? pretty much defence at wave 30+, or survival for 20+ mins. Honestly, there isn't really end game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)korm-2_0 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Question: what is considered endgame in this game? For me, end game is level 95+ enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_Cactus Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Volt has a smattering of abilities that work decently by themselves, but don't mesh together well. He's useful for rush missions and Invasions, though. I don't play him so I can't offer any buffs other than to make Shield more mobile and to give Shock more stun time. Many things. Many many things. Lowest tier frame. That would be Ash. Volt at least attempts to offer some utility to his team. Ash gives a team nothing, and is in fact a hindrance more often than not because of his ult. I think you are forgetting Banshee. I know banshee can help in defence or really late-game survival, but Volt is just more useful all round. lol.

ZyladRow Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I would just go with Rhino Prime or Nova. Volt ? Nahh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
