Here's the real numbers (that's what I get for doing stuff from memory).

Wet Ice
0.5% base
1.265% Defence from Wet Ice with +++ SO's.

17.71% Max Defence from Energy Absorbtion (not what I had earlier).

States, we want to see more ice tanks, not less. At this point simply fixing this set would be like adding a whole new powerset to the game. You have the ability to review the statistics on this set and see how few are being played, so what's the plan behind this?

I sincerely hope that this powerset doesn't continue to be ignored simply because it has the fewest number of players to stand up for it. I'd love to play one if only it were made fun.

My question to you all is should I even go to this?

Yes, and train the PI docks on your family in the process.

Circle of Thorns are not really that hard to find in Kings Row. But there's a trick to it.

They only spawn at night. And you often need to kill the daytime spawn at their favorite hang-outs.

I really wish I had known this earlier in my career.

Untrue - they also spawn during daylight. Some of them spawn less frequently during the day - others continue to spawn quickly.

Finding CoT is also easy if you know where to look. When you exit the tram turn 90 degrees to your left - pass through the vacant lots until you come to a cluster of buildings. On top of them you will find a few groups of dedicated CoT spawns that are present at any time of day. Leave the area and they will respawn very quickly.


Area Buffs!
The best way I have found to get my group to form around me for an area buff is to use a bind that states a time limit and makes a sound:
/bind numpad1 "group Casting a Recovery Aura in 5 seconds.$$em whistle"
/bind numpad2 "powexec_name Recovery Aura"

Hit one on your numpad, then ten seconds later (yea 10, not 5) hit two on your numpad. Pretty soon even the most stubborn people realize the whistle means free endurance. The whistle emote will not always work if you are in a combat stance so it's good to develop the habbit of hitting the escape key first.

Another point - stealth type effects stack. Stealth alone will not make you invisible to enemies. They won't notice you until you get into melee range - but they will notice you. But if you put up stealth and super speed (which also has a stealth component) at the same time - you will become completely invisible.
