^ You go for more survivability but you get rid of Trinity for more offense?

People don't bother with more than 0-2 defensive mods because after a certain point no amount of defense is going to keep you from getting one shot. Valkyr is the only frame capable of doing this without CC. For a frame like Excal who has instant life steal, already decent mitigation ontop of a CC; putting more survivability is just turning yourself into a mobile rock.

You arleady get 4-6 revives per mission, survive-ability is more pointless than ever. You can thank the Devs for this, it's not the player's fault. Enemy damage scales too quickly and they've made dying bassicly have 0 downsides. With Zenurik in the game even Trinity no longer has a place in my book.
