Iron Skin Rework Thoughts

[SteaKnight-X]

Hi guys, 

Wanted to ask what do you actually think about Iron skin.

Fine as it is ? Or would you like to change it?

 

I would like to suggest a QoL change(something that would still keep core traits of the ability)

 

So here is my suggestion:

The ability is the same at it was before. Just change how the amount of your iron skin points(ferrite armor) is calculated.

Instead of having flat 400/600/800/1200 points

I would to change it to

Iron Skin points=(your armor)*2/3/4/6 

 

This way, strength mods would affect it as well as "steel fiber"

 

 

 

 

 

The second suggestion is more of an idea im currently playing with

So, what if depleting parts of the of Iron Skin armor, would increase the density for the Iron skin points that are left.

Explanation:

You have 1200 Iron Skin points. If you reach 600 points(half you your max points), your skin density is doubled.

Which mean you need twice the amount of damage to take away the next point.

It needs to be a skill ability.

i don't think the second one is good, and i don't think they are going to apply the first one, that + Valkyr's Warcry will give you a lot of armor for a warframe who have base shields more than his health lol

Yea the second one is just a thought (I might did not put enought rethinking into it^^)

 

My idea behind the first one was benifit from the armor boost he got recently. Since he is considered to be a tank.

And that armor boost is actually kinda pointless(compared to other tanks)

Not because he should have more armor.(190 is actually enough^^)

But because like you've said. (He has more shield than health) And shield isnt affected by armor.

Thats why I thought the 3rd bar(1st bar is health, 2nd is shield) should at least benefit from the armor boost

 

 

 

 

It needs to be a skill ability.

We have to ask ourselfs "How much skill based do we really want it to be"

Im not saying that is useless. But compared to other frames (Chroma, Valkyr(I know she gets a rework^^) and recently even frost)

I dont want  him to be like chroma (since I could play him instead^^)

But I would like to giv him his own tanky uniqueness.

 

 

 

May be this thread was just a waste of time^^

Thank you for the feedback
