Thoughts on Crystocrene Armor Set Bonus
What are everyone’s thoughts on Frost armor? This works on any class, but if you run Whisper of Rime, it’s even stronger on stasis kits.
The uptime of frost armor has to be roughly 80% of the time. Or course in a real match minimal time is spent out of combat, but once you build a few stacks it lasts a while and slowly decreases instead of all at once. You don’t even have to think about it, it’s just a free damage resist for doing nothing.
I am not sure how frost armor compares to resist. But since a lot of people run ferropotent armor, this is most comparable. However ferro, requires you to drain your health first and then you get the resist. With the frost armor you START the gunfight with it, which is arguably more beneficial.
The 2 piece is also a nice bonus, since it’s free orbs on 50% of kills or more. It also stands with reaper mod in class item. Many kills will drop 2 orbs. This means gaining super first. Which is very beneficial in comp or trials.
To summarize key points:
- Is frost armor capable of changing TTK values?
- How does frost armor compare to resist (ferropotent armor)?
