Unit_D13

Well, all these newer builds are nice, and I have seen them in action, lemme tell you they do the job quickly, but the only weakness I have seen on each and every one of them is they are very inspiration dependent. No big deal just a timing thing being able to chug them and run in then chug more half way through etc etc. I played back in beta, left the game back in 06 or 07 and have recently come back, been back now for a few months. Logged on my old faithful, fire/ice tank and started solo farming trying to get the hang of things again. I don't have any problems with anything and I forget about the insp bar 9 times out of ten because I simply don't need it (all of this was of course after a couple of respecs to get the hang of the way things work these days understand), most of my old enh are either 53 SO or HAMI .... only a few IO's here and there, have not really gotten into the sets. Now this old build is not as fast as these others, nor is it as mobile as these others, but ..... its hard to kill, and its very very efficient with no use of insp, rest, or retreat, just a slow steady forward progression.

Fire/Ice/En Tank

[removed]

I took my lvl 50 fire/ice tank to test today to try things out ..... the really sad part about it is, I did better without burn (even with an ICE secondary) than I did with it ..... even with 4 SO recharge in it I still had a 3-4 second downtime between burns, and the dmg it was dealing (due to only 2 SO dmg in it now) was pathetic. It took me 6 burns (including using freezing touch and the ice block from ice mastery) to take down a SINGLE +2 LT from the Banished Pantheon. Fighting BP with fire was always a good thing, who would have thought that dried out undead would be good for burning .... now they just shrug it off. To make matters even worse, I got 8 mobs on my ice patch, let it rip, did my burn, and only 5 of them fell down .... the others were not slowed, did not pause, in fact the acted like it wasn't even there, even while I dropped ice storm.

All I have to say now is I am glad I got him to 50 before this went into effect at least I will be able to play a warshade (god I hate that archetype), peacebringer, or blaster .... none of which appeal to me but they are the "least nerfed" out of everything.
