Reconsider the no Hib/Phase for Ice Tankers

I'd support Ice Tankers getting Icy Bastion, but I doubt it'll happen.

I think the short recharge on Tanker Hibernate is enough to distinguish it from the pool powers. If you need to be using Hibernate every 30-45 seconds as some have suggested in this thread I'd venture to guess you aren't using your other powers effectively. Ice should barely be taking hits to begin with, you have Tanker HP, and you are able to use a self-heal/HP boosting power pretty frequently if you have decent recharge. If I were going to make an Ice Tanker, I might not even take Hibernate.

If you don't need to using it that frequently then removing the timer would literally have no effect at all for you.

Sadly, they can't separate all the stats. They can separate the things that a power does to its targets, but they can't change certain other aspects, like end cost, max number of targets, or activation time. (Well, they probably could change activation time now, with what the tech introduced with Titan Weapons.)

I don't think that factors into the specific example of Hibernate and "nophase", however.

This is not personal, Vauluur. There is no "I need this or I need that" philosophy in this request to the Devs or this suggestion for the Devs. What I need is irrelevant in this whole discussion. It should be left out.

This is for Ice tankers, for the armor set. I also want to insert a small but true point, Ice Armor for tankers and the powers in it, especially the cool Tier 9 power of it, needs to be separated and treated differently than the pool power.

Hibernate has been given out to almost every single AT. It should be different when coming from a pool power and it should be different when it is an inherent Tier 9.

Another point, there are many players who do not have IOs or have a decked out Ice Armor tank. Those with no IOs or not decked out might have different "needs" (you used that word) or wants than those who do. I prefer to use the word function or application of a Tier 9 within their game play, and even use the word option. Let the function, application, or option of a Tier 9 power be different than that of a pool power which almost every single AT has.

Do away with the no phase/no hib timer for Ice tankers is what I suggest the Devs do. Some others want the whole no phase/no hib timer gone completely.

I have always...disliked...this argument. It assumes that any situation that arises wherein it would be beneficial to use Hibernation often* is just bad playing on the player's part. That is just plain not true, especially for a defense set that relies on the Random Number Generator to survive. I don't see how <insert any AV/GV/EB/Etc.> getting lucky with their hard hitting attacks makes me a bad player.
