[Light Form] note

Light form allows you to slot for end mod, however from the game.

" +30.00% recovery rate for 1m 30s on self Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable "

Light form's +recov is unenhanceable. Why would they let you slot end mods that don't effect the power? I have not been able to test (since my PB is only level 23). Mids also mirrors this, that the end mod is not effected by enhancements.

Is this an oversight?



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 think its possibly an oversight or a bug, cause most tier 9 armors like unstop and whatnot all allow you to slot for end mod even though thats prolly not the best thing to slot it for

its possibly that when they altered how lightform performed they forgot to either remove the tag to allow enhancements to have effect or the tag which allows you to slot end mod in the power if it is intended to not be affected by end mod

Alternately, they don't want (too badly) to remove a slotting option people may have taken - such as Performance Shifter. (Purely a guess - I'd have to actually put a "Chance for +end" in there and see if it still fires off.)

That would not be the case, Memphis_Bill.

Back when IOs first came out, you could slot the stealth proc in swift or hurdle. Then they took that ability off, because you could never turn it off making NPC escort missions impossible.

However, if you did slot a stealth proc in swift or hurdle, it did not kick the IO out or anything, so it would still be in effect to day if you have not respeced the toon since then, even though those powers no longer accept sets.

Thus the "too badly." There are some instances where they will do so. But they try to avoid it.

Linky to the last time this got brought up (for historical reference).


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Does the health and end crash bother anyone else on a perma light form? It bothers me so much I am thinking about switching back to the shields and just use Light Form in an emergency.

Okay, but aren't we getting 'un-crashed' in I-24?


Be Well!

We're losing the crash to the Nova. Light form, on the other hand, has already had it's crash toned down. It used to drop you to nearly dead, now you're only half dead.

Yeah it can be annoying but it's much more manageable than it used to be. Back in those days Light Form was almost certain to get you killed if you hadn't finished off whatever you were fighting by the time its duration ended. Now it's hardly an issue.


Wanna play a Peacebringer? Don't believe the hype. Check out my guide and get the real truth:
PEACEBRINGERS SUCK!!! (Now fully up to date for i21+ )

I've got enough +rech on my PB that I can fire off a 2nd LF just before the crash hits, but I'm nowhere near finished with its build. (For reference: that's 155% recharge w/ Hasten, which is a few seconds shy of perma.) Essence Boost also stacks briefly.

The crash doesn't really put me at risk-- but I'm still glad it's not as bad as it used to be!
