Ice Knight

This is something I built on Friday, put it into mids. Basic highlights,

51% + positional defenses before Storm kick, 61% Plus after
2754 HP with Accolades
40.84 HPS Regeneration
67.5 % Recharge

My philosophy on this is simple. Avoid attacks, Maximum Hit Points I can put together without gimping the build and having good regen to deal with damage when I am hit. Below is the build.


Please ignore the slot levels as this is a respec build.

Merging the AT forums will over complicate matters while forcing a jumbled mess within each category. Please do not do this.


Thanks

Happy Birthday MP!!

I will do my best to answer your questions.

Just to add a point, yes these trials are supposed to challenge us. We as players are supposed to adapt. Whether that's bringing specific AT's, Being prepared with Inspirations or making Clarions, we adapt and conquer. For those of us that have been running trials since they came out I would assume most have a decent store of Incarnate salvage. 1 Rare 2 Uncommons and 12 commons and you have a tier 3 Clarion. A few threads to facilitate side grades. Not to hard and very easy to make back.

Sold, 3 bill. Thanks everyone

no

Or best offer I accept. level 50 Crafted Gladiator's Armor: +Res (Teleportation), +3Def

9/18 Sold

Raid complete. Great job everyone. I am not sure what the plan will be for next week. I am sure MP will post once she is back.

Great raid tonight. Awesome job to all. Same time next week, theme TBD

I visited friends for the weekend, we went to an Amusement Park on Saturday. Then defeated Hamidon later that night and hung out on Sunday. I had an awesome time. I think I got 3 bars on a level 23. Overall an awesome weekend

Thanks for coming out tonight everyone. Next weeks theme will be announced by MP

Happy Birthday !!!

Hi Everyone.


The Hammi Raid is postponed till 11 pm Eastern tonight. Please meet in the Hive starting at 10:45 pm eastern. My apologies for the delay.

TANKER GUIDES


This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Tankers. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. For non-Tanker guides, check the master list of all Guides in the Guide to Guides.

Guides appearing here were gleaned from links posted in one of the "Guide to Guides" threads (the Tanker Guide Thread or the Guide to Guides thread in the "Player Guides" forum). Chriffer sifted through the hundreds of individual threads to find the postings. In the future be sure to 1) place your guide in the "Player Guides" forum, nowhere else and 2) post a link to it in a "Guide to Guides" thread to make things work smoothly.

To preface my post, I run trials on a daily bases and participate in almost everything this game has to offer. I solo, team, trial, TF, RP, Hamidon, Market, Invent, Farm, Play Content and I PvP. What I say below is how I feel about the current conversion system, which is the heart of the solo path issues in my opinion.

The solo path is far to tedious, now I am not saying its needs to be as lucrative as the Trial Path, but people do need to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. I believe the disparity between the shard and thread system is too large. This is what is currently leading to such a major issue on the soloing path. Let me explain what I am getting at.


If I were to utilize the system as it is, it takes 4 shards to make a common component for an Alpha. It takes 20 threads to make a Common Component. So what we are really seeing is that 5 threads are worth 1 shard. Yet we have a conversion system that says once every 20 hours 10 shards are worth 10 threads and at any other time 10 shards are worth 5 threads. Now looking at this logically this makes no sense. However to add another wrinkle, an Astral merit is worth 4 Threads when broken down, or 1 shard if used thu the vendors in Ouro. To add some more evidence to this, the result of breaking down 1 common shard component is 1 shard and the result of breaking down 1 common thread component is 4 threads. To add to that on the uncommon scale, The Shards recovered on a breakdown are 2 to 3, while on the threads for an uncommon breakdown are 8 to 10. So wait, shards are 4 times as valuable as threads but to directly convert them to threads its a 1 to 1 ratio every 20 hours or a .5 to 1 ratio any other time. Maybe I am missing something but I can not see it.


The biggest problem with the solo path in my opinion is the conversion. Now I am not saying that 10 shards should be worth 40 threads, however I do feel their is room for improvement.

Thanks for the clarifications Positron . I hope the explanation not only alleviates many players concerns, but also adds to the enthusiasm of Freedom.

I was just logging in, and a thought struck me. When Freedom Launches, will it be possible for VIP accounts to reallocate their bonus slots. As in anything over their base 12 on each server for subscribing. I know Zombie Man mentioned they were on 2 separate systems between Premium and VIP earlier in this thread.

As an example, I have 22 Slots on Justice Currently. Would I be able to reallocate the empty slots over 12 if I chose to do so, as long as I was a VIP member?


Thanks

"Hey Zwillinger, I'm gonna have to ask you to come in on Saturday... so if you could just get here around 9:00, that would be great.

Oh, yeahhhh, I'm gonna need to go ahead and ask you to come in on Sunday too."

However on a serious note, Loving Freedom and all the goodies it brings. I think any small bumps can be ironed out.

While I get the fact that having purchased Going Rogue would allow 2 additional character slots for Premium, what about other items that have added slots? IE COV at launch added 4 slots to the then current 8 character per server limit. granted that was to all servers. Just to refresh those that may be scratching their head, COH had 8 character slots till COV launched. A "Perk" to purchasing COV and adding it to a COH account was the 4 additional character slots. Besides the addition of Villains, Bases, PVP Zones and so on.

I may be splitting hairs but I think its a valid question.
