Yeah two full cases of beer of choice were offered between Toshi and I for direct answers to all points of all questions laid out by me towards the beginning of this thread. And most of the questions remain unanswered still.

Prolly should of placed this in the Ask Geko thread too. Maybe he would answer them himself.

So if you saw a Rad defender whos aura does more healing than yours you wouldn't mind? Please, the Bubblers entire set is based on def, an empaths is healing. If your def fails they can still get a full heal. With a bubbler if the def fails then you got to hope they know when to run. Just like invuln Vs. Ice. If an invulns def fails they got resistance, if our fails we're dead. Plain and simply if you have to depend on one thing then it should be better than all the others.

Balance means you can't have the best of both worlds

Well I can now fight a group of OJ's ok. Had to slot Tough, Weave, Health and use an Ice Patch then drain thier end. Of coarse I have to slowly kill them since all my slots went to the pool powers to help my def. Chimera 2 hit me then danced around and laughed. I'm not sure if my group of 8 can kill him him before I get that second hit.

It sad being a tank and having to invite a real tank so I can finish a mission

Just wondering Circeus if you could come up with some combination of base def's that would put Icee's on par with the other tankers.

Who knows maybe they'd try those numbers in a test...I can hope

Except handclap and fault need to hit the opponent to have an affect. Then the need to recharge so you can hit it again. Ice patch you lay down and if they are on it they fall and start simulating popcorn. The point is theres something that is causing them from keeping Ice from being the top Def set, which its suppose to be.

Whats EA with full slotted End Drain like?
---------------------------------------------------

Helms: What do you think of the Permafrost change?

ColdFusion: Its good, now we have a 3rd res slow so when we fight the knives we can runaway faster cause we are going to get our beep kicked

I think the main problem is we are looking at numbers of our defense shields, while the devs are looking at those and the ability to use ice patch and drain end as defenses too.

The probelm with combining ice patch and end drain into the equation is it doesn't help on range, doesn't help on flyers and definetly doesn't work on AV's and Monsters. I wish my ice tank could sap the end of an AV, then maybe I wouldn't die against them.

You have giving us good tools to fight groups of guys but you have giving other set even better tools to fight groups and AV's.

With powers like this PvP is even worse. Ice patch is useless there, EA doesn't drain enough or give enough def to matter. Sure 1 v 1 isn't balanced but teaming doesn't help unless I got an invuln taunting them off me....

Instead of adding more things to powers, that will most likely cause more imbalance issues, how about you adjust the current powers. Why does everything in this game either do it all too well or doesn't do anything. 10% def to .5%. You couldn't try the middle ground why? There's lots of numbers out there. You could try a few different combinations. It doesn't have to be all or none.

I can post another video for laughs....

Maybe its just me but I don't want resistance. I don't want to be an invuln with different graphics. I want what my set is suppose to be and thats defence. Why are you so afraid to give us more defence until we are balanced?

An enemy fires 20 shots hits every time takes 200 HP away from an invuln

An enemy fires 20 shots only hits half the times we take 200 HP's still.

yes acc comes into play thats why we should have a little more def then invuln has resistance. I just don't understand why the devs are willing to give a damage debuff, some resistance but not defining attribute of the AT.

I just have one simple question. IN a patch thats main purpose is to limit the number of enemies we can survive against, why would you change a power so that its only useful if you have a large group.

While you ponder this heres another helms in the arena video. Again no acc buffs used. This is what we call balance people.

Helms Vs. EM Tank

I did have an actual match with him. He started dancing while my 500 attacks finally got him red life.

I keep hearing this, Ice tanks have tested well stuff. I'd like to see some footage of this. Cause as far as I'm concerned its either fight greys or delete character if this goes through

Decided to make a little video with my friend. I know the arena isn't a popular place but it really seemed to show how weak and useless my Icee became.

My friend is a DM/Regen. Has 2 Acc/Dam in every attack but air sup. He did not turn on Tatics, Focus Acc, or even Build Up.

I have all 3 shields on and have EA stacked when he begins to attack. Each shield has 1 end and all Def buffs slotted.

Helms.mpg - 4.31 megs

The results here were 10 totall attacks and 2 misses. I actually did a test with Tough and Weave on. Tough 1 end 5 Res, and weave all Def + my shields. The result was 14 attacks only 2 misses. On the live server he has told me that he can't hit me unless Foc Acc is on and even then he misses more than this.

However the real sad thing is when I actually do attack. With my ice melee its even worse cause I do no damage to anyone and then all my end starts going down, although the ea boost helps alot. If the patch comes out the way it is I most likely will respec my tank with just wet ice and EA, for end. I will be weak but at least I won't be wasting power slots on something that doesn't do anything.

I was just thinking that this set should have an inherent power called Sonar. This ability would give them +perception, only really usable in the arena right now, but invis can bend light but not sound. SO thier special ability allows them to see like bats. Just a little idea to add more uniqueness.

Probably been said already but I haven't read all 16 pages.

How does this stop PLing? I'm starting to wonder since I'm on champion Server alone I'm wondering at a whole if PLing is down outside missions. There is no way, 100% positively no way this plan stops PLing. Its more annoying then anything. On champion PLing is done in missions not outside hunting streets. I just don't see what you guys are thinking, but like I said my view is based on what champion does.
