There is now 53 (54?) unique frames covering a lot of area in themes and gameplay

Personally I am surprised and disappointed we haven't gotten an actual wizard type frame. Might be little odd with Chroma and Lavos but I want one that looks like a wizard and has some sort of way to cycle through casting spells, I'm thinking similar concept to Chroma but with a focus on casting instead of weapons

Also kind of surprised we don't have a medieval Europe style knight or Samurai (Unless Excalibur or someone I'm forgetting counts)

This one is just a personal complaint, I want a more dragon themed kit in a frame but I know Chroma is taking up that space. I like the look, but he just doesn't feel dragon like enough for me

On the idea of the wizard frame much like we have Hildryn as the shield frame, what if his passive skill was a built in Quick Thinking effect and he had very little HP, little or no shields, but an absolutely massive energy pool. Give one of his abilities a way to quickly generate energy (maybe on kill?) and you've got some good synergy going.

I'm thinking something like 50 shield, 50 health, 100 armor, 2000 energy, and maybe a 300% built in Quick Thinking. I haven't crunched the numbers on what the EHP would be like for that so that might be a little off, but you get the idea.

Exactly one if my thoughts, reverse Hildryn with energy and some high powered abilities would be sick, I love your idea

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For the energy generation ability I'm thinking something vaguely like Energy Vampire. It would be an AoE that would mark every enemy in a radius. Marked enemies take extra damage (similar to Novas Prime) and on death emit a AoE pulse that restores energy like EV does.

Invoker Dotatwo? 🤔 Having some frame with 3 "components" and a "cast" ability would be rad.

As for the European style knight, it does kind of exist with Rhino Palatine and one of the Trinity skins... kinda.

My big wish is a frame with an Exalted Shield. I have a bad case of the shield brain. Like how we can wield glaive+pistol, I'd love shield+pistol, and a frame that also works specifically around that. I had a partial writeup of the ability set somewhere...

An invoker would be awesome but this game is so damage oriented I would believe it hard to happen.

We don't really have a druid frame, one that can shapeshift and use nature themed abilities. Oberon doesn't count, he's an Oath of the Ancients paladin.
I would like a proper take on the barbarian/berserker theme as well, Valkyr is supposed to be that but her kit is so outrageously outdated the only ability that fits that theme is her 4. I would also prefer a big two handed weapon over flimsy claws but that's my subjective preference.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Druid would be sweet, also missing for me would be a classic "by the holy light" type paladin. I think Oberon feels a little scattered thematically in my opinion

I'd really like to see a "heavy weapon dude" Warframe with an exalted archgun or smth.

That or a true "warlock frame" (I don't count nekros) that can cast curses and such.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Now that you mention it, we really don't have a "heavy" warframe which seems like a miss. Maybe big focus on the exalted archgun and maybe explosives as other abilities?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd like a more mechanical frame, one that looks like a cyborg (I know they're all cybernetic, I mean a more classic "Scifi" look).

Could even give it a unique holster style where weapons replace it's hands and are "docked" instead of holstered.

Gauss sorta fits this but I'm thinking a bit beefier and less refined looking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sort of like a Robocop deal?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe?

Would be interesting if they found a way to place the weapon in place of the frames right arm, for example, or, yea, dock the sidearm inside the leg.

My biggest want would be a more technological, mechanical, sorta look to the frame.

Im always on the lookout for armor sets, and Sydana, that lend that look to a frame.

Hell, maybe make it Corpus themed?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Took the words out of my mouth, I was gonna say a proper wizard / sorceress frame 😁 Slow, methodical but big ability effects, mana shield, an interesting energy mechanic, powerful CC abilities... doesn't even need to have elemental switching since they can do so much with basic mage archetype, whether it's syndra from lol, gul'dan from HOTS, sorceress from d2-3-4 or a typical CRPG wizard with summons and fireballs.

Also bonus points if it has a trenchcoat and a gun for a Harry Dresden crossover event.

Once I saw someone propose the idea of a Warframe that actively wanted to become a warframe and was glad to be transformed into one. Sort of like a counterpart to Umbra. I think that would be a breath of fresh air amidst the many frames with tragic backstories, although such a frame would have to have some other themes to them too, because I'm not sure how you'd turn transhumanism into a set of four abilities

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That would be sick, maybe it could be semi based around the element from Duviris Joy Spiral?

I know it's a mostly tragic story, but I would love some uplifting frames/plots
