Shield For Warframes

[Decebalvs]

Hi,

 

Maybe a shield for the Warframes?

 

 

From 3:47 as a idea.

 

Maybe the shield would be as secondary so it can go with the melee/sword and be used to smack the enemy and all the cool tricks.

 

Im not suggesting this because i want the game to look like 300, just because i think it would be badass on defense missions doing combos with the shield and sword.

 

Thank you.

There is some merit to this suggestion.  I'd be interested in a shield if it enhanced your blocking ability, as well as served in combat as a weapon.  I'd rather see it replace a melee weapon instead of serving alongside one, since I can't think of any shield+weapon combos that are very ninja-like.

 

It wouldn't have to look like a shield either - it could actually be a pair of armored kote that ran up both arms.

A holographic shield maybe?

But that would take away the idea of smacking an enemy with piece of metal in its face.

Most warframes aren't/look/feel "ninja" at all.

I would like to see an energy buckler, a very small shield that generates an energy field when you hold down the block button. So that way you're not carrying a full blown kite shield that would hinder your movement, but it still offers the same amount of protection as a full shield.

I feel as if shields wouldn't work to well.

He mean a big shield, not a small one.

 

Like the Grineer Shield Lancer

 

It will be a great idea, but it should be with no primary (it will be remplaced with the shield) a secondary weapon and shield hit as melee.

Something like a holographic lancer-sized shield that replaces melee would be cool. Charge attack would be taking cover behind it, and normal attacks could be a low damage bash with a decent chance to stun. That way you're losing decent melee for more protection and if that's not balanced enough, make it so you're limited to side arms while in shield mode.

 

Making the shield a sidearm or primary would be kind of pointless since we have parry for melee already. Also, swinging a sword behind a big ballistic shield would be kind of hard.

 

It could look like a handle with shield emitters that sits on your back, you grab it, the rectangular shield pops up around it, and you can color the shield effect and everything. Pretty simple.

Like this maybe? Smaller for sure.

 

Off-topic Edit: Nvm, this should be Volt's shield instead

http://huntersinsight.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/gw2_officalguardian.jpg  this. a big shield would be a bit unfair if u think about it. make the charge attack increase the size of the shield but the extension will break after a certain dmg to it is reached. and if its energy shield then it could recharge so u could do it again. i wonder if that made sense o.o

Suddenly, I thought about facing the towering Rhino with that shield, charge for reposition and despair. Woa.
