Ice armor for Stalkers? WTF
And not to be ENTIRELY ungrateful, we DO get Broadsword and Regen, and much less smashy Katana, as well as a "needed to be changed cause it was finally given to Heroes.....which is the ONLY reason vil powersets EVER get revamped" revamp to energy aura.
And no, EA STILL isn't Ice Armor, even with the revamp.
sigh...o well.
I feel the same way.

Dude stalkers get crapped on so much, they deserve this.
When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!
Stalkers are villains
Villains get crapped on
I'm sure SOME stalkers somewhere have asked for Ice Armor, but not near as vocal about it as Brutes. I'm cool with Regen, since I know it's been requested a LOT by the brute community, but with us having WP (which imo is BETTER than Regen, out of the box, anyway) we should have got Ice before Stalkers.
We could have BOTH been given Ice Armor, but for the love of GOD I don't want them to have a chance to gut the set before it's given to us.
I'm not totally ungrateful as I said. We did get 1.5 nice sets (Kat = Broadsword) and an energy aura revamp to appease the minority that actually HAS an Energy Aura brute, but ice is deserved, now more so than ever.
Well, deserved or no, judgment calls have to be made as to priority and timing etc.
patience, grasshopper

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
Don't talk to me about Stalkers getting Ice Armor. My Scrapper is still crying for Super Strength.
with these changes to EA im going to have to make one >.<

With the new changes /EA is going to be BALLER.
Mark my words.
+recharge boost?
+defense boost
moderately improved resists
50% hp heal
+200% regen which you can stack with health, physical perfection and rebirth
added taunt aura
And still being one of the best secondary's in the game for endurance management as well as arguably having the best tier 9 power Overload in the game? I have Unstoppable, Power Surge etc and I can tell you having basically dull pain+elude in 1 is superb.
How is this not awesome?
/SR what? Oh, defense buff resist. That's great.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
Negative. We brutes(you EA users) are getting an Energize clone.
edit: beaten by about 5 seconds....grrr! :P
We're not losign the heal. It's being moved out of the energy drain and into Conserve Power - now Energize - a la Electric.
And EA *STILL* isn't Ice, but it'll do....
FOR NOW...
I want the -slow -recharge of ice for my brute, and Icicles is just so sweet looking! lol
(and before anyone strikes up the same argument of "slow hurts fury", please see every other time you've been proven wrong )
Of course, the real problem is that you don't get the heal until level 35...

You see because you look. You find because you see. Look for benefits, and they will appear, look for problems and you will achieve them.
Doth thou forget that Brutes got a better ordered SR when it was ported over AND got a taunt aura, something that my Fire/SR scrapper desperately cries out for.
Doth thou also forget that some really great powersets were invented specifically for Villains? Cold Domination, Thermal, Poison, Energy Aura, Electric Armor.
The reason Hero's are getting 'blessed by the dev gods' is because Villains were blessed, many times over, before the Heroes. Oh how forgetful the young are.

Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
I don't understand how two separate people managed to derive "devs hate villains" from my post.
I do actually remember the months after CoV came out when the playerbase was all "devs hate heroes/blueside is dead", which lasted until Issue 8 when heroes got Radio Missions and Safeguards. I'm sure EA's buff had something to do with it being proliferated, but that would have happened regardless of which way it had proliferated (villains->heroes or heroes->villains).

Friend, he listed both the regen, and the 50% heal.
Aren't we losing the drain heal in exchange for energize's regen, pal?

So Stalkers get Ice Armor but we don't? Glad I don't get to play too much anymore. How lame. We've only been asking for it for HOW long now?
