I have both Hibernate and Hoarfrost, and a global recharge bonus of around 80%, 150% or so with Hasten.

Hibernate is not 'better' than a phase power, it's a different kind of power. You are not 'phasing' out of reality, you are building a wall against the world. Conceptually... that seems different to me.

Thanks for bringing up the fact that this was changed for PVP reasons.. PVP has no bearing whatsoever on this power for PVE, nor should it. It can remain flagged for PVP purposes - I could really care less with PVP as borked as it is right now.

I have no issues with regular spawns of enemies on a decent team. However... Ice is very weak to AVs, imo. First of all, AVs above +0 difficulty can practically ignore even softcapped defenses.. because Ice lacks in terms of diversity of mitigation, this leaves you with your big heal and hibernate to stop the incoming damage. Try the following simple experiment:
1. Get a bank mission with an AV. Put on your team 3 or 4 damage dealers and 3 debuffers with relatively minor heals (if they have heals at all - a typical PUG build, in a mundane situation compared to the classic AV fight).
2. Bring a tray full of greens and purples.
3. If you and your team defeat the AV without dying, you shall be awarded a trophy.

I have done it once, but I died directly after the AV.

Ask yourself: do your other tanks have this kind of difficulty in such a mundane situation?

I also played with all sound OFF...and ran winamp in the background. I would also often alt-tab, open websites, have a movie going.
Now..with PoS i17...I dont even have ultra mode turned on....and it has just crippled me. All loading times are way up..I cant get across any zone without stuttering a lot. Redside is even worse. As I mentioned in another thread, last night I could not laod into PO..on any server. I would just get booted back to the login.
My drivers are all updated..everything is. On top of that, I can no longer run winamp in the background..if I try, the sound skips and jumps. But...if I alt-tab out of coh (so its still running, in the background)....winamp works just fine.
How does this make any sense if I do not even run ultra mode? Nothing else has changed.

Also...I saw another post talking about changing the Priority of tasks, in the task manager. I try this..and my cohexe is set to 'Below Normal' and I can not change it. Is that right?? A task taking up most of my computers resources..on below normal priority?

Someone stab i17 for me
