Postagulous

Welcome to Freedom then. Stay out of Atlas or make a bind to ignore $target and you'll be fine.

Just kidding about that ignore $target. But it's actually not a bad idea if you occasionally ticket-farm in Atlas.

Of note: Everyone knows how to run BAF here. Though you may get on a mutiny team, meaning a non-league leader person will suggest and lead away people into a different version/strategy. I've also had leaders who were incredibly picky about where we dropped Nightstar.

If you don't know where choke points are, just follow someone. Pretty much it means sidewalks. Doors are obvious, but no one plays doors. After the initial kill, head to the middle of the tennis courts. I know different servers play different ways, but Freedom just grinds it the easiest way. No one goes for Master Of.

I'm planning on showing up with a blaster, but if some more people will bring SoA, then I'll go fetch my huntsman/bane.

I've been wanting to run on an all VEAT or even an all EAT team.

I actually like the opacity of the default colors for everything but icicles, which I use a dark color as I really dont' like the way they look. And with all the shining aura stuff you can barely see them.

I was softcapped to S/L at level 27. I was using haymakers, maneuvers and CJ. Now I stay capped, I'm at 48, with some KC, I think Multi-strike [good in Icicles], I think mocking beratemnet, and CJ, not sure what else, but it's cheap and easy if you ditch the KC. I don't like running toggles and just don't need to. I've never felt weak with ice armor.

As for resistance, I'm not really that concerned as I have Hoarfrost and Hibernate. The only hole is fire, and I've not had a problem with that. Defense debuffs which usually don't hit from Cims but that stupid Quartz hits me every time, are the only issue I have.

I've got /Dark with my ice, which gives another heal in Syphon Life, which is an excellent power, a second endurance recovery, and your second AoE damage. Icicles is your best AoE with ice/dark and it does about 1/3 or my damage.

Ice/dark isn't for everyone. It's for teaming and being the indestructible meat shield. You'll never die. You just hibernate.

I am currently playing this toon, so my memories about the AT are fresh. I'm not just regurgitating what I've read here.

I didn't even think about that. Groovy.

edited to add Ice/Dark info:
Heals = Hoarfrost, Siphon Life, Hibernate
Endurance recovery = Energy Absorption, Dark Consuption, Hibernate
AoE = Icicles and Soul Drain ONLY.

Also of note, I find that a good costume for under ice is a minimal one. Mine wears Metallic with banded boots an gloves, also Metallic, cyber cables and belt, and clockwork chestplate. Oh, and he has a blue bull head and tail. If you put ice onto a normal, detailed costume, which we've all had happen to us when a defender does that to us, it kinda looks crap. Same with stone though, you have to think about how you'll look with your permanent, non costume accessory.

Thanks.

I don't run out of endurance. I don't think I could unless a sapper got me.

Resting is for people afraid of death*. Death gives me my second nuke.

*and don't have RotP.
