Freezing Rain can house at least 3 damage procs. They all have a chance to fire every 10 seconds which gives it a heck of a chance to hit lots of baddies hard, randomly.

Take it, Slot it, Love it.

-Garber

Have you unequipped your Alpha slot and gone back to just a regular incarnate? I would imagine that you can create as many as you want as long as you have all the components. But I would imagine you may have to have your slot empty to do it...

Just a suggestion...

-Garber

Great, thanks for the help!

-Garber

A quick question about Dark Armor and this proc. Since most of the status effect powers baddies have can be covered by a few of the DA toggles, would it be beneficial to slot this IO in a power? ....I can always sell it for some good inf, but I'm in no way hurting right now.

Thanks in advance!

-Garber

Thats just silliness...

-Garber

Awesome! Thanks for the help guys....I have 6 built up respecs, so I plan on playing around with my build before deciding on 1. It seems like you both got to the same result, one with more attack and the other with more Recovery and Regen.

Thanks again!

-Garber

Great. Thanks for the feedback.

I went with Maneuvers and Tactics because of the ST team aspect. At these levels and the amount of debuffs the other group members have...it might be overkill. So, I will be removing Maneuvers and Tactics (and I can sell my Gaussian's for a pretty penny)...but you really think losing Permafrost is a good idea? I can do without Static Discharge...but I figured extra Res was good. Plus it has the Slow resist....

Also, when messing around with Mids...after changing the extra slot in my ST Melee's to a damage...it puts me way over the ED cap. So I might make the extra slot recharge...or accuracy.

Thanks for the help...this is a hard build to get right (I know there is no "right") but I think I'm close with your help.

Thanks again and feel free to toss in any other advice... here is the revised build.

I've been having trouble with planning my Ice/Stone tank past 38...as far as slotting goes. I know I want to go Mu Mastery...but I am waffling on Tremor vs Static discharge. I've got myself at 47% s/l and 30% n/e defense...do I really need to keep looking at Def set bonuses now that I am past the s/l soft cap?

I will include my planner build and if you could offer tips or tweaks, I would appreciate it. This is my first Ice/ Tank....and the highest level tank I've ever done, so I am in uncharted waters.


Thanks for any help!

Fun....see ya there!

-Garber

Another first after red name!

Yes, the Level 50 IOs were selling like hotcakes last night. I can't count the times I ran (in Steel) from the vault, to the university, to WW....and made around 40 million selling in around 30 minutes.

I am still getting the hang of the market, but I couldn't contain my excitement when I placed 7 IOs on the market and they sold instantly for more than 10 times what it took for me to create them.

Cheers!

-Garber

I'm guessing they aren't releasing the notes on the "fix" for the MA.... interesting.


-Garber

First after Red name!

^after nearly 6 years

and Woot! Can't wait to get home and work on some Incarnates!

-Garber

The actual term in the market is "Stop-Loss" I believe...

I'm not the uber creative type, so I will let you all give it a whirl.


-Garber

I am enjoying this experiment so far. It's interesting to see how much you can make with a minimum of overhead (crafting and ww costs). There have been some cool experiments lately and I will be watching this one closely to see the outcome.

-Garber

Great, thanks for the help! I wasn't sure if it would have been better to put it in Hoarfrost because I could control when it fired....but it makes more sense to have it continual.

Have a good Thanksgiving all!

-Garber

A question for you Tanks and Invention people out there. I have a Numina's +Reg/+Rec proc and am trying to decide where to put it. Should I slot it in Hoarfrost or Health once it becomes inherent? I have yet to put the Fitness Pool in my LvL 32 Ice/Stone Tank, so I can hold off on slotting the Enh....but I don't know where to slot it yet.

Any thoughts or insight I am missing?

Thanks!

-Garber

Alright, thanks a lot for the reply.

Much appreciated!

-Garber

I'm sure this has been answered plenty of times before....but my search-fu is weak tonight I guess.

When in Vigilante Allignment, is it possible to convert Reward Merits to Hero/Villain Merits? And if so, where do I go? I'm sure you could just answer me with a JRanger, but even a linky would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

-Garber

Another note. The fitness pool is going to be inherent in less than 2 weeks. I would suggest not building it into your plan. Yes, you will have to spare some slots if you plan on giving any to Stamina.....but with a near perma EA, you won't need it.

Try adding Manuvers to give you up to 3% more universal def....and it can have some good set bonuses. Also, Tactics would give you a good place to put a Gaussains proc.

-Fynite X

I am now inspired to play the market. I have lots of uncrafted recipes that can sell for loads of inf....just never thought of playing the market until now.

Thanks for the inspiration!

-Fynite X

Posting here so everyone can hop in if they want...

Can you make TFs or just mission arcs?

-Garber

I was meaning the OS for Macs is 64 bit. I didn't know if the game would be 64 bit enchanced.

That is all.
