WHY?

First of all, I'm looking at generally Mods that are most likely to sit in the collection with little to no use at all as majority of Warframe Modules are favored towards Efficiency, Strength, Duration, Range, Health, Shield and Utility. Majority of people would boast large amounts of Health or Shield or even both as their general defense before stacking up on the effects or other utilities such as Natural Talent, Equilibrium or even Handspring.

These Modules will provide an alternative branch of defensive play as well as an equal utility to provide a short recovery or buff while under heavy fire.

WHAT'S GETTING REPLACED?

Warm Coat, Insulator, Lightning Rod, Diamond Skin and Antitoxin as they are generally the replacement for these new defensive elemental modules.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Along with these suggestions, I'll try to update this thread with Warframe Pictures to show some nice pictures and such.

Too specific.

The current mods we have that have reductions for elemental damages and environmental effects are never used as they are just FAR to specific.
These changes you've suggested however, would not increase the useage of them. It would be far more beneficial to just use a full movement, armour, or health mod than use something that has a reduced effect, and grants a resistant to an element that enemies don't use.

The only time ANY of these resistance type mods (even the current ones), would work, is if DE added more elemental damage to the enemy factions... which I don't see happening any time soon

[Rehtael7]

Yeah, there's not nearly enough incentive to sacrifice damage output/ power usefulness for sake of minor amounts of defense.

[Kai]

So with the feedback and general viewpoint of players, re-updated the Defensive Elemental Modules.

[Rehtael7]

I might use these if they're Exilus, but I still probably wouldn't drop it for the drift mods.

[AethonWalker]

The only time I ever use a resistance mod is with antitoxin when I go melee only in infested survivals. The others are just meh, and I'd only use them or the ones you came up with if I had a free slot, which is almost never. :P
