Frost is one of the easiest frames to use for Steel Path Circuit level cap runs. Snowglobe and Avalanche can keep defensive objects (and extractors) alive all the way to level cap. Also, your powers make level cap Jackal a cakewalk (although a lot of warframes make the Jackal a cakewalk). Good playtesting session. As you're seeing, Frost needs to spam his abilities to survive, protect and maximize damage. A common playstyle is to always be casting his 4th and 3rd abilities. Frost does need energy management and range. If you add fleeting expertise and keep transient fortitude, you might have to add continuity for at least a little duration). Overguard added per cast was better the second time mostly b/c of range, since range (and range changes) are quadratic changes (ie: surface area is radius squared). You went from 70% to 145% range, which increased surface area affected by 4.29x (and possible foes affected per cast by 4.29x). Also, your original 70% range dropped avalanche below the 15m armor passive range, so most foes wouldn't have cold procs, whereas you now have enough range, that now every foe that even enters your 15m armor passive range will already have cold procs, and buff your armor.
Farm cetus bounties for augur reach (30% range) when its available in the rewards rotation. I think it gets rewarded from the 4th bounty mission, when in rotation. There is a corrupted vault mod called overextended which gives 90% range, for negative -60% strength. minus 60 strength would usually be bad, but there's a lot of ways to stack strength back up to over 100%. Cunning Drift gives 15% which isn't much, but can be put in the exilus slot. You get Cunning Drift from the Orokin Moon test where you need to bait the big eye beam drone into destroying 4 pillars.
You generally don't want to use multiple augment mods when those slots could be used for more important things like stat boosting mods. Try sticking to only using one or two max.
Biting frost is a really good augment, but the only thing that was benefiting from it here was Harmony. You don't have your incarnons set up for crits because of that one evolution you chose in the past. You can see your bonus armor in the top right with that shield icon. Range is important on Frost to hit as many enemies with avalanche as possible Also you can cast multiple snow globes on top of each other to further boost its health instead of placing them around
You need all the help you can get at this time if you're doing steel path solo. Time to start using your specters, hirelings and anything else you can summon like clem, infested that aoe heal you. And maxing out builds with forma. also make energy and health pads to drop when needed. en masse
you're lucky they've changed how icy avalange works, now you can get thousunds of overguard even with this kind of mod "setup". if it would be the same max what you would get was like 500 points, mb 1000 if you're lucky. don't need to say what the result would be in that case, it's in the first part of the vid. if you want to learn how to properly build anything, at least get all the vault mods and start maxing primed ones, and ffs do forma polarize and max out at least something. p.s. if you want my setup for frost it's this - 170% strength, 280% range, 3 umbral mods(could replace with same regular ones), and icy avalange
