Talk:Atlas (Warframe)/@comment-73.151.170.139-20151007060539/@comment-24.254.176.42-20151007080058

You can't fix a weak frame by relying on a strong weapon, because strong weapons can also be used by strong frames.

Most of Atlas' abilities don't scale worth a damn (or at all, really), meaning that regardless of how you mod, they become close to useless outside of Star Map missions, low-tier Void, or for just screwing around. That leaves Petrify, and there's much better CC available: Mirage, Loki, Nyx, even Hydroid for that matter.

Low damage is one thing, but the Rumblers and Bulwark should have far more HP. The Bulwark is a joke compared to Snow Globe or Bastille, the Rumblers are a joke compared to Shadows of the Dead, and Petrify is a joke compared to proper CC abilities.

In other words, Atlas does the same things other frames do well, except he's bad at it. He's a cool and fun frame, don't get me wrong, but he excels at nothing and isn't particularly viable in high-tier endless.
