[BlackDiamondAce]

you really think you can do a giant frame better?  I'll have you know it took over six months to flesh out the base, and then the tweaks came.

[(PSN)jFresh215]

Great concept. 

Idea for augment for 1st ability could be to just increase the effects of the seeds on enemies and allies per enemy effected that's killed. Increasing by some small % with a fair rounded cap.

can I just say this:  from the outset.

which sounds more thematic? a frozen mountain or a catalyst. (are you doing this to spite me?)

Thanks!
I'd like to make every power augment each other power,
but, i'll have to think up those later.

The word Catalyst might not have been used, but the word means what he was.
"a person or thing that precipitates an event."
Ymir was a primeval being that was born from venom that dripped into an icy river.
His flesh was used to make earth, his hair the plants and trees, his blood the oceans,
his bones the hills, his mind the clouds, his skull the heavens.
His eyebrows were used to create Midgard.
He was a Catalyst, used to create a great deal of existence.
Neither Ysmir, or Ymir, really have anything to do with a frozen mountain.
Ymir doesn't really have any direct ice powers, so his passive and 3rd don't fit him.
A Weapon based Ragnorok ult should be a flaming sword, like what Surtr the bringer of the Ragnorok used.
Regardless of how much I like your Ysmir fram's powers, they just don't fit either character lore-wise.


No, I just got inspired by Ymir's story after reading it,
and he actually had enough story to quickly come up with a decent warframe setup.

If you need any help making a frame based on a mythological character, let me know.
This kind of stuff if what I live for.

[JudgeXion]

Intresting frame.

But why does it feel like I'm reading Haiku in each line?

Anyway, An Agument for 2 maybe? Instead of planting the bones in the ground as a trap he shoots them out forward kinda like how Juggernaut shoots spikes?

Thanks :)

Added unintentional bonus?
Simplified the descriptions, but with fancy words.

Oooo, and pin them to stuff like boltor does.
Would need a higher armor cost, but would do more damage i'd think.
Just need a name for it.

oh that looks good.

I would add though that just like Boltor or Arrows from like Dread, it can hit several enemies.
But instead of maybe impaling all enemies it hits, it causes knockdown on anything that isn't the initial target.

Added,

• Enemies hit directly with the javelin are impaled,
• if the impaled enemy bodies would touch another enemy's body during flight,
• those enemies are knocked down and dealt 100 impact damage.

I'd rather not.  There are a ton of unique takes on characters and me and a friend are writing the quest dialogue...  so there is narrative for it

I can only find one take on Ymir aka Aurgelmir, the first Hrimthursar aka Rime Giant.
We are technically both wrong about him.
I'm going on what his body was used for, and you're going on how he himself was created.

Ymir is an Ice Giant with a hammer in Smite. http://smite.gamepedia.com/Ymir
And a snow Giant in Marvel https://marvel.com/universe/Ymir
In Ragnarok Online, Ymir's heart is the very foundation of Midgard it'self.

Only *real* problem with your Ysmir frame, is his ult.
Ymir or Aurgelmir, have nothing to do with Ragnarok.
The Ragnarok's wiki doesn't even mention them,
so either he's dead by then, or, just didn't get involved.
Easy fix, change the name of his ult to Hrimthursar, or Jötunn.

I don't.  Well besides Metro series, Bullet storm, tf2, and a few other games I don't need to mention presently.  I like the characters but they aren't my favorite.  I'm that kind of parent who never chooses a favorite anything.

[General_Durandal]

Made som tex fixes and grammar improvements.

Flesh of Earth is now per step, instead of per hit.

4th power is now Mind of Clouds.
4th power's augment is now Skull of Heaven

3rd power now has a Augment: Ocean of Blood

It sounds exactly like Hydroids undertow with it's agument added to it, Just that they sink slower.

Hydroid melts into the Undertow, enemies sink into it instantly, and are dealt damage over time.
Curative Undertow heals hydroid and allies in the AoE over time.

Ocean of Blood cost's 75% of his health, no energy,
he blankets the surrounding area in his water/blood,
the way it's worded right now indicates that it hinders allies, but not damages them,
enemies in it sink slowly, the deeper they are the slower they get,
fully submerged enemies take constant damage.
Enemies that die in it heal Ymir.

Hmm...
A lot of the wording needs tweeking.
But for a guy who's blood was used to create the oceans of earth,
there isn't a lot of things you can do with it.
