I've alluded to this in a couple of places, but I wanted to describe something we'll be doing for Super Reflexes quite soon...

Super Reflexes Auto powers (Agile, Dodge, and Lucky) now add some minor damage resistance. This Damage resistance starts at 0%, but improves as the caster loses HP. The Resistance kicks in at 60% HP (when HP bar first changes color) and markedly increases at 40% and 20% (again, when the bar changes color). We have not yet determined the exact values.

This change is in addition to the recent modification that gave most Defense Primary and Secondary powers resistance to Defense Debuffs (self Defense powers).

Ice Tanks? Please?

Yes, this is a good thing.

But could we please get a comment on that elephant over there, Mr. Emmert.

Not to put a damper on things, but unless it's hidden in the new Epic badges, I guess no L50 respec trial, eh?

Oh and before I forget (not that I really could)... Thank you for a great year! Happy Anniversary to CoH and its wonderful community!

Without all of you this would have been, to paraphrase Han Solo, "a real short trip."

Well... that leads to the obvious question:

How many heroes does it take to shut off the tractor beam?

Third, Energy is not prevalent in any respect. Pre 26(EA) you almost never see it, and I cannot recall any time pre 40 when I died from an energy attack. The reason is that the majority of energy attacks also have smashing damage components, and if my armors and EA dodge the smashing aspect with me smash defense, I also dodge the energy portion of the attack. Thus, I did not find I ever needed Glacial Armor until Sappers, Anti-Matter's Rad Nuons, and kinf of Synapse's Electrodes. GA is unneeded pre 30, and more realistically pre 40.

Wasn't that changed recently, so DEF vs a single attack that had multiple damage types, each damage type is now treated individually? Or am I way off?

Geko,

If I want a Tank that can survive attacks the best, I get an Inv tank.
If I want a Tank that can do damage, I get a Fire tank.
If I want a Tank that resists PSI, I get a Stone tank.

So, slightly different question:

What do I possibly get with an Ice tank that any of the other tanks can't do better?

Can we herd heroes?? <laughs>

Imagine, walking through Atlas, a train of heroes following in the big guys trail.... like lemmings.

Herding heroes... oh NO you did not just type that out loud... lol...

Actually, Expansion 3 has two Epic Archetypes AND many, many Epic Power Pools.

The other Epic AT will be the Insufferable Tease Monsters from the Planet Agony.

ROFL! 5 stars!... um, as soon as I figure out how to give stars...

Edit: Figured!

Are you SERIOUS?

Players mod the game because ongoing sound/visual effects are ANNYOING, to the point of not using those powers/characters, yet if players mod the game to get rid/reduce it, you're going to remove threads about it?

Client-side mods don't affect other users, doesn't allow 'cheating', and is a win-win situation. What exactly is the problem? Please don't knee-jerk ToS - if it really is in there in page 23,474,467,164 it should be removed, since the only people its hurting are... the users!
