I would only be using it when needed...but to be able to potentially constantly have that kind of defense (defense in its general term as the power offers no actual "defense")...seems to good to be true.
If it is true...I think I've found my new favorite character.

The Cons of Light Form are the crashes (half your health and half you End), so if you're run perma like mine they happen often. So you have to keep some blue Inspirations around (your self-heals are enough to handle the Health Crash).
Other than that, it's an awesome gamechanger. Since I have it perma, I don't even have Quantum and Thermal shield anymore. I keep Shining Shield 1-slotted to hold the +3 Def unique IO and it alone makes up the S/L resist difference for Light Form, thus I'm ALWAYS 85% resist to everything except Psi.
Slotting for some defense combined with my Heals, this Character is much harder to Kill than my IOd to the Gills Scrappers and Brutes. It's extremely close to my Inv Tanker as well.
The biggest weakness is Mobs that Slow Recharge - they can cause a Gap in my Perma Light Form

You can still see your costume?
Yep...this is definitely going to be my new favorite.

Yup, and a neat side effect of the Health Crash is that you will first be healed to your full Health and then lose half of that, so if you are below Half Health when the crash happens, it will actually Heal you a bit, back up to half your HT bar. Essentially, when the Crash happens, you will have half a HT Bar, no matter what your HT was prior to the crash.

Indeed, that was the one thing I hated about the old Light Form (not being able to see your costume). If you remember what the old Light Form looked like (little floating puffs of energy), well these are still there - they just sort of Hover around your character now, like an Aura.

I was planning to only use it when needed...but now there is absolutely no reason to ever have it sitting idle in your tray...crazy.
Light Form is a fantastic power. The only drawback is that to use it, you have to play a peacebringer...

Yeah, it really is that good. Just be aware if you perma it, you will have a Crash every 90 seconds. Although it's easy enough to deal with (just keep a few blues and be ready for a heal), you will have to keep a close eye on it to do so. It's not just fire and forget, but that's a price I'm more than willing to pay.

And they ain't so bad anymore either. The new buildup helps with damage. My Human Only recently soloed a pylon without using any pets (did have muscular alpha and reactive interface, but still, a PB soloing a pylon - who'd a' thunk it not so long ago)

This power seems ridiculously powerful.
With no IO sets...two slotted +Res shields...and 3 slotted +Rech Light Form. You have capped resistance plus the extra recovery...for 1 min 30 secs...and it will only be down for 60 secs.
It really seems to good to be true.
Edit: I'm just going to shut up and go level my PB...cause damn.

They did reduce the end recovery and mez protection a bit to make up for its increased uptime, but I agree that it's really powerful.|

I don't think it's going to get the Nerf Bat anytime soon. For one, PBs have been the red-headed stepchild of ATs for a longtime. For eons, nearly everything they could do, another AT could do better. So they finally *might* be a bit overpowered in one area now... I say, it's about Damn Time!
Their Dark Cousins, the MFing Warshades, have been able to cap Resists (and damage) for Ages and no one has stuck it to them.
So I can finally tackle +8 Mobs solo like my Scrappers and Brutes can - I'm not overpowered; I've finally joined the family.

Drawbacks.. your totally awesome for MOST of the time..... crash.. pop a blue ( or hit conserve power) .. heal.. back to Awesome
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Wish other T9s could be looked at like that, I love Inv on my Tank and Scraps, But Unstoppable is such a situational power and in the situations you need it, it doesn't last long enough. Oh well sorry for changing topic, I do like what they have did with PBs, I love playing mine now more than ever.

Perma Hasten, Perma Light Form, Perma Inner Light and Perma Essence boost... and soon some additional NRG damage through new Interface Incarnate slot.
FINALLY I feel Epic.

What are the cons to this power?
Obviously it doesn't do anything for Psi damage...and you get the usualy HP crash...but...
..you can have it up so often...
...makes me wonder if I'm missing it's glaring draw backs...
