Doublecheck your mnu file that it doesn't accidentally have a .txt trailing filetype. (e.g. earthtime.mnu.txt) This is probably the most common reason why mnu doesn't work.

Alternately, popmenu requires being in the "\data\texts\{language}\Menus\" subfolder, are you storing it properly?

Plus spiritual already provides some healing boost, so I could see 3 recharge, 2 endmod, 1 heal working well.

I don't like to talk about sets for individual powers unless I'm frakenslotting just to make the power better. It' more important to talk about sets in BUILDs, because what sets you use is at least in part due to what bonuses you need for you're build.

Whether someone does something with or without temp powers or inspirations is a separate special circumstance.

Mostly, I'm interested to see whether people attempt this, and if so under what conditions: with or without temps, with or without (massive) insps, and how hard it is. It seems to be one of the last things that hasn't been generally discussed in terms of performance. I've heard of people duoing Lambda, but not really trying to solo all the heroes or avs in RV.

I can see equal reason to slot chrono shift with endmod or healing, and I guess it really depends on what you're looking for in you're build. I have't played around with it much(my own /time just hit level 28 and got the wonderous farsight), so I'm working mostly off my notes on the numbers. Chronoshifts heal is not that huge, especially if the target is not accelerated, and won't help a great deal unless there is a lot of other healing to go around, which as a controller isn't my primary focus(though I do heal when needed).

Endurance is always important though, and Chronoshift provides a pretty big bonus to recovery. And since time is rather end heavy, as are many controller primaries, that can be helpful. Of paticular note, many peoples builds are so carefully measured that increased recharge can kill their endurance is anything goes wrong, so the extra helps. Further, I'd much rather stick a Spiritual alpha in my character than a cardiac, to I get endmod when I can get it.

I'll agree that the regen on temporal selection is decent, and for people who have some natural regen already it's great, but if you don't team a lot, or you generally find yourself putting it on damage dealings rather than tanks and scrappers who don't seem to take much damage anyways, it's not needed. It's a good place to put extra slots if you have them, but I wouldn't underslot most other powers to shoe horn in some healing unless I know I'll be teaming with lots of /regen and /willpower toons.

I've had my ice/ice tank for a while now, well before the frozen aura now does damage change (which I was happy about when it happened.) Not to talk too much about /ice, but I realized frost was awesome long before a guide was written about it. Back in the day, I only took frozen fists, frost, build up, ice patch, freezing touch, and frozen aura and was an aoe beast.

Strengths of ice/:
*Easy to get lots of defense to all except cold, fire, and psi
*Easy to get very high cold resistance
*Has 2 taunt auras--only need to take taunt if you are worried about appearances and what other people think because you certainly don't need it
*Has lots of +recovery/endurance in energy absorption and hibernate
*Has a damage aura
*Has a heal
*Has an oh-sh*t power in hibernate
*Chilling embrace is also -dmg and -recharge

Weaknesses of ice/:
*No psi defense/resistance
*Piddly fire defense/resistance
*No real resist outside of cold

Strengths of /ice:
*Freezing touch and frost do *just* cold damage, meaning they will bypass (or pretty much bypass) the defense of pretty much all typed defense/resistance sets
*Frost and frozen aura do good aoe damage
*Ice patch lets you pretend to be a controller

Weaknesses of /ice:
*Weak single target damage

With chilling embrace and ice patch, an ice/ice can actually do just fine against psi enemies or other ones you would think it would be defenseless against. And there is always hibernate if you were about to die.

I think it is fine. I can remember (before the frozen aura changes and the target cap max so that you could gather a whole bunch) gathering tons of enemies in hazard zones and just leaving ice patch on auto. Then I would go afk for a while. The combination of the various toggles and ice patch kept me alive and icicles killed them. Yeah, the fact that I had to go afk meant the killing was slow, but the fact that you could gather a gazillion enemies and not die says something...
