Lord.Finster Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Add in a Trinity for emergencies and you just might succeed. I'll try this with Saryn today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saenol Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's viable, but definitely a novelty unless you are Trinity or you have a Trinity in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dala. Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I personally would use a Rhino warframe as tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIRROR_ell Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Viable, especially on Frost/Saryn/Rhino although you won't be able to tank Toxic damage since it isn't mitigated by armor. By far, you should choose a frame depending on your wanted specialization; ie. Frost - defensive tank, Saryn - bruiser/caster, Rhino - offensive tank. PS. Ember could also be in the list but she kinda cheats. EDIT: This build is awfully viable as I run the same mod loadout on Frost. You can easily take a good beating from Void 3 monsters without dying that fast. Edited August 8, 2013 by MIRROR_ell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 What about ASH? The wiki says he is suprisingly beefy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIRROR_ell Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What about ASH? The wiki says he is suprisingly beefy. Viable but not as much as the first 3; Ash doesn't have much utility to act as a tank. You can take a beating, sure, but you won't if you run invi/ult most of the time or run fast enough for cover, you won't be taking that much of health damage.

AlchemistMute Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What about ASH? The wiki says he is suprisingly beefy. He has 450 health at level 30, so Vitality would be more useful here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogra Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) It is only viable as a buffer. Rejuv (even max) doesn't restore enough hp to make HP tanking viable. Rejuv would have to change to be a % of max HP restored, or % of missing HP restored to make HP tanking viable. When you start to get near death and want to heal, find an ally, &!$$ off a bunch of stuff, and die near your friend so they can pick you up and get you all your HP back. Or bring a Trinity to do that for you without you getting downed. All this being said, I run a similar setup on my Saryn (Physique rather then Rejuv) so that I can survive army diving to hit Miasma. As it stands, Frost and Rhino are your only absorption tanks, and that is due to Iron Hide (Rhino) and Snow Globe (Frost) and having the highest shield pool of the tank frames. Saryn isn't really a tank, she's a DD with enough durability to get to close range to do her job. What about ASH? The wiki says he is suprisingly beefy. Ash only has 50 Armor, making Steel Fiber a waste of a mod slot on him, as he has Smoke Screen for avoidance, Teleport for Escape and as a Gap Closer, and Bladestorm for Stabby-Stabby time.

oKibbles Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Trinity has 10 armor. Wouldn't it just be inefficient to use steel fiber? Or does rage work with her with Link on?And rejuvenation seems too slow, I think you might be better off with Physique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybadger Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Its not very effective due to the lack of sufficient health regen sources unless you are Trinity using Rage. Even then, her low armor will melt against mobs 60+. I wanted a health tank trinity to work. I really did, but baddies just hit too hard to depend on health.

Haif Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 If you want to be a health tank, I recommend something like Frost/Rhino, and get both Vitality and Steel Fiber. Should be able to soak a lot of punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
