(PSN)Akuma_Asura_ Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Like some kind of way to sustain themselves in high level play . Maybe not something as adavanced as nidus' stacks, but as little as volts shield . Because as enemies scale 65-15 armor frames get easier to one shot . Lets take banshee for example I would say savage silence is her way of sustaining her self in high level play , or Nyx assimilate is her way , or Ember with her world of fire augment . But then frames like Hydriod don't have a way to sustain themselves and not get downed all the time . So do you think every frame should have a way or certain build to help them scale ?

I usually run Hydroid during JV or 4k Excavation runs/Hour Survivals and he almost never goes down, Banshee I usually run in the sorties and just yesterday solo'd the Sortie Ruk Assassination with her. You just need to know how to play the frame and how to build them. Pretty much goes for everything in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Sgt_Buttscratch Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I don't think they should all have some tankiness, that would put more ZZzz behind the already dumbed down gameplay. There should always be frames that should try not to get shot, and utilize skill sets for survivability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baterial Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) no, because if u r like inaros or nidus u dont look for that not being scrached at all, u dont use brain, but LMB and 1-4 keyboard buttons Edited March 8, 2017 by Baterial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aligatorno Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Banshe's silence is a really great ability, but it would have worked much better for her survivability had the ability been recastable. We can recast Ember's Accelerant and still get the stun, I don't see why we should not have Silence work the same way considering how squishy she is. The only workaround so far is either to mod for minimum duration or mod for low range, because the enemies are stunned again if they are entering within its range for a second/third etc time.

Obviousclone Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 hydroid has cc on literally every one of his abilities lmao what are you talking about no defence and besides the point ember is probably the lowest defence warframe with a stun on her 2 and firequake augment on her 4.

Yeah I partially agree with this , but usually those frames are labeled as "bad" and aren't "meta" (what I hear not my opinion ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being a puddle the whole time With Hydroid, I find myself pushing enemies into walls with his Tidal Wave, and using finishers, or to close the enemy gap, push comes to shove, his Barrage can knock people over for the same effect, given you have enough strength/range (Depending on the AoE you're going after). His Ult also helps close choke points and makes it an easy distraction to recover from. Then there's puddle time, which you already know about. There's a lot more to it, but time is not on my side right now. Lots of 1st and 4th Spam, with a mix of 2nd, and then Puddle to get instant recovery. Now if you're in a team, the game switches, but that's not what we're going over now. Edited March 8, 2017 by (XB1)ALG Minuscule36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)llx Sensei xll Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I would say yes in regards to how easy a Tenno gets killed in high-level content, but then I would say no in regards to the fact that allowing all frames to tank would make the current 'tank" frames not so useful in people's eyes. ~Live Alone, Die Alone~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltygr33n Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I honestly don't know how one can learn how to play a warframe properly, other than using cheesy tactic to get through long hours or waves; Hydroids undertow and banshee low duration, high effeciency, carrying lots of energy restores, etc for long hours solo.... Other than that, I'm not pro enough to know how to play properly. I prefer better cc than more tanky. Edited March 8, 2017 by saltygr33n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsiWarp Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Maybe shield gating can help with defence on most frames bar health-only warriors (usually those are tough anyway). CC is a form of indirect defence against damage from enemies, but you're talking about direct defensive capability so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield gating is a good idea . It would at least give us time to react before that napalm snatches all of our health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)ThermalStone Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The 15 armor that some frames like original Volt and Banshee have is way too low. It's one thing to learn to crowd control and evade for level 100 plus where most frames can be one shot. It's bad when low level players can be one shot by level 15 enemies. It makes those frames not fun to level or play and discourages players from coming back and playing them later when they are more experienced.

(XBOX)Graysmog Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Once we get Shield Gating, I feel all Warframes will have a massive buff to their survivability that will make it easier to play squishier Warframes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1738 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I do think the majority of Warframes should have some sort of defense/CC ability. It's mostly for pug and solo games, while in a coordinated group, not everyone should tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
