Frozen Armor Visual Effects for the Mastermind Epic Power Set

There's quite a few powers that I just can't handle on characters. I used not to be able to play a bubbler as the dispersion bubble quickly gives me a head ache, I find the blazing aura generates a lot of eye strain, my purdy costumes not visible under Ice Armour yada yada.
My way of dealing with it is to make a couple of binds so you can turn off effects on your characters. It turns all effects off, so you can't pick and choose (I'd love this to be an option in game).
It also only effects your display. Your team still cant see your pretty costume.
/bind control+S suppressCloseFxDist 300
/bind shift +S suppressCloseFxDist 0
You can change the control+s and shift+s for any other key combination.
So in game, I can press control+s and most visual crap on my character is removed for me. Shift+s and I see it again.
Note that if your team is getting bubbled, it will look like to you that you haven't been, as the shield wont be visible to you.
It's also a setting that sticks for next characters logged in until you change it, so initially there's a bit of setup to get it to every character. You can save the keybinds for new characters.
You may also need (as a one off) to go into Menu --> Options --> display Settings --> Advanced Graphics Settings --> Suppress FX When Close is Enabled.
Other people will still see the Ice Armour, you won't.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

I like the frozen armor graphics just fine on my ice tanker. After all, that character is ice themed. But on characters where I'm grabbing it from an AP just to get some defense I'd prefer something less intrusive. I'd also really like to be able to recolor the AP/PP since some of the res/def toggles have colors that really clash with some costumes.

in terms of builds though most of my mm go with mace mastery cause i can get the shield with only 1 power pick and it also gives energy defense and toxic resist which ice armor has neither however on my doms i frequently pick ice mastery because it has so many good powers in the set |

I took Frozen Armor on my MM. ^_^
I take the round trip to unlock Scorpion shield on all my Heroic squishies. By planning ahead, it's easy to have your tips finished just as you get into level range for epics, and then you can switch back as you continue leveling.
