This seems to be an old bug resurfaced. I got 50 bucks on level 40 PPs showing up in a +0 Manticore.

Great! I have a lot of toons to respec. This stinks.

And while those things are true on the client side, they have nothing to do with getting the server software installed and running and getting the secondary patch up on the patch servers.
Good thing I don't have to worry about this until I get home. And then it'll still be several hours, perhaps a day or two until I'm on live depending on the size of the secondary patch. -
I'm pretty sure the DR to pve thing was a joke. PVPers are bitter and have raised this before. "How would you PVE-ers like it if you had to deal with DR?" So on and so forth.
I hate pvp now. I hate the fact that the rules are different and they're not documented anywhere. It sucks balls. Big balls. HUGE balls! -

Who's the schmuck with the briefcase?

I've had this happen too but only on my ATI 58550. It has never happened with any of my NVIDIA cards.
It happens consistently when I logout (quit to desktop). -
When I'm done lvling up my ice/ss tank I'll roll a new villain then we'll get some teams going redside.
I did this a lot when I was lvling up my sonic/therm but even pestering LB for teams doesn't always work.
Once i17 drops there'll be a lot of stupid demon MMs running around so there'll undoubtedly be some teaming then. -
April 7th
I'll take my money now, thanks. -

Ummm they don't tell us about exploits they fix. Well they usually don't. But I agree it certainly shouldn't be hours after a patch is published.

Sound advice, thanks ND.

Interesting I can put HOs in Frozen Armor. If I put in some Ribos I can get up to 40% fire resistence so I might do that. I wonder why the power doesn't accept other resistence sets.
I'm going to try and go with just above the softcap and see how that plays out. I can hit the end recovery power to give me another few percent which should hopefully cover any defense debuffs. I wouldn't normally plan for more than 48% on my other defense based toons anyway. With a 20 second recharge and 40 second duration on the end recovery power it should play out alright.
What I like about this tank is that it covers the endurance issues that normally comes with super strength, hasten and rage and it's a relatively cheap build. I'll just get the LOTGs with merits.
And the attack chain is nonstop.
I'm looking forward to getting this to 50 and pimping him out.
EDIT: OUCH! Ribos are expensive! -
And here's the updated build based on the feedback. I put the powers in a more reasonable order now. 78% global recahrge, hasten 9 seconds off of perm, softcapped defenses except for F/C and Psi, capped HP, sweet!
I'll probably change Block of Ice for Icicles but I think Mr. Ice Tank Guy needs to encase bad guys in blocks of ice. We'll see.

Quote:I do understand that the only hole here is fire damage, honestly I do and I admit I was focusing originally just on bonusses, defense first, then HP then recharge.Originally Posted by Finduilas
I'm rather baffled by your reluctance to slot FA fully, it's one of Ice's primary sources of damage mitigation and is not a power you want to skimp on. I also think your worry over the amount of F/C def you have is misplaced, to say the least. Basically, Ice has a weakness to Fire damage, and intentionally so. If you can mitigate that somewhat, fine, but it should not at the expense of your other, more important damage mitigation tools.
One of those tools is Hoarfrost, and currently it is woefully underslotted for Heal, which means that you'll be getting much less of a HP boost than you would if it were fully slotted. I think it is a very big mistake to give up a significant portion of Hoarfrost's HP boost for another few percentage points of F/C defense.
Hoarfrost will help you against *any* kind of damage, including Psi--another Ice weakness. Since Ice armor has capped Ice resistance, increasing your F/C defense will basically help you against Fire damage, and *only* Fire damage. As I said earlier, it is great to have if you can get it, but it not worth getting at the expense of other, more important damage mitigation tools like Hoarfrost, EA and Frozen Armor.
Hoarfrost is perm and with 1 accolade and that running I'm at cap HP. I can't have any more than 3212 HP, right?
Regarding Frozen Armor the only option is to slot for defense, right? Well I'm at the capped defense number for that power. There's no reluctance to slotting it but I don't see why it makes a difference.
Sorry if I'm missing something here but I don't see it.
I'll probably change it over to Doctored Wounds for the recharge bonus since you're right, I won't have any issues with cold because of the high resistences.
Thanks -
Quote:Oh OK, I missed the fact that EA has to be up in order to get the defense bonus. I am an Ice/ noob.Originally Posted by Finduilas
Note that with Frozen Armor fully slotted you don't need a bonus from KoB to soft-cap, even without EA running. So you can slot it however you like.
I can see why the recharge bonus in Kinetic Crash is tempting, but IMO you'd be better off using some of those slots for other things like fully slotting FA and adding slots to EA and possibly Health. If Hoarfrost is slotted with a high recharge set like Doctored Wounds, it'll be perma without the Kinetic Crash bonus.
EDIT: Changing from the Erads to Scirocco's in Foot Stomp is a bad idea, IMO, since you'll no longer be hitting the soft-cap for E/NE except when EA is up. Scirocco's just gives you a F/C bonus, and as you noted, you're never going to hit the soft-cap for F/C anyway. If you want to add the Armageddon proc, fine, but I think a better slotting would be 3 Erad, 2 Scirocco's, and the proc.
Fixed, sorta. I will consider more slots in health but I understand that come i17 more changes to some IOs will be happening with the regen and recovery uniques.
I am now at softcap without the need for EA running, have better numbers for footstomp but I'm sitll going to use kick as a mule set for the time being.
My fire/cold defense has dropped to 31.6 now and I'd prefer not to drop it any further.
I'll also test out icicles and will most likely swap that for blocks of ice.
Thanks much. -
This build is softcapped for s/l and e/n. f/c diddn't seem possible to softcap. Nice catch on the no end redux in Frozen Armor, I'll fix that.
Kinetic crash in kick? I was going for the 7.5 recharge, I figured I could spare the slots.
Regarding ko blow slotting, I wanted better numbers overall than 4 slots would give me and I only needed a small s/l bonus to get over the softcap.
I actually did change FS to 5 Scirroco's and 1 Armageddon chance for Fire.
I'll consider icicles, I've heard mixed things about it. -
Great thanks. Yeah I'll reorder stuff. I love chilling embrace right now. With this build Hoarfrost is permed and I'm at capped HP with only 1 HP accolade.
I'll consider Aid self for this build.
Appreciate it.
