#Warframe frost mod#

New augment is kinda whatever, definitely not needed and doesn't really do anything for him. Adjust numbers however you feel is necessary (slash the bonus to 100%, or even 50%) but without the whole squad gaining something in terms of numbers from this augment, I honestly think we're going to start seeing a lot more Frost complaint posts about greedy players with high-range, high-duration builds leaving statues stuck in weird corners, and I'd rather see it fixed before it becomes a hot-button issue across the entire community. If the Crit bonus was spread, even partially, to the rest of the squad, the statues go from full-armored bricks that are a chore to clean up, to choice, vulnerable targets. It's un-fun, and undermines Frost's purpose/the community's perception of Frost as a squad-supporting frame. Yes, they get crowd control, but unless some amazing Biting Armor Strip build emerges, the rest of the squad ends up shooting basically immobile bricks. But as things stand, it still feels like I'm beating my head into the wall, waiting for whoever at DE is so adamantly in love with Frost's current useless passive to finally get told to shove off.'Īnd I've been thinking further about this issue - the perception of the community, of the inevitable flood of newer Frost players, and how what was a build that was purely crowd control, benefitting the whole team equally, with the addition of one mod, becomes a greedy player freezing everything, through walls, for 15+ seconds, and the rest of the squad not benefitting from that setup as much. If this had been his new passive, and his augment stretched the benefit to his allies, I would have loved this.

It's objectively good, and helps Frost's other main builds (High Range, High duration Avalanche) keep up in damage output with his armor stripping build.Īt the cost of a mod slot in another fairly cramped build, and denying your allies the benefit of the bonus damage, leaving them still shooting at bricks. 'My main frustration with this augment is that it's basically mandatory on any build that can fit it.Īnd Frost's best build (Armor Strip) is so cramped that you're generally already sacrificing armor or energy efficiency to make that absurd 250% Power Strength requirement. So, I posted this in another discussion thread, but I felt I should make it slightly more visible, and elaborate further on my thoughts.
