    Now now we DID get accurate healing, to hit buff and defense buffs sets..
  4. I am now re-re working my Elec/Elec dom and i have a Fire/Psy dom that I absolutely love and I am looking for a third. I might never play a controller again. Or a blaster for that matter.

    As evidenced by today's patch, the problems with winter-lord's zone were not discovered until after the event went live; that was supposed to be something in the code that wasn't changed or modified at all from last year... and it still broke.

    Something else to keep in mind is that adding in the icy lakes is not as easy as simply removing the lake geometry and shoving in the ice-skating geometry. From what we know of the existing zone structure frozen lakes would require completely different city zones to be built and downloaded.

    It is very likely that the additional badge placements, contact placements, door mission placements, and all of the other advancements made to each zone have never been applied to the existing versions of the zones with the frozen lakes. Loading up the frozen-lake versions would more than likely break task forces like Numina TF, Positron TF, Citadel TF, and Synapse TF. It would also break the ability of players to find location badges, and / or prevent plaque completions. The Frozen-lake versions would likely also still contain hooks into the Dance Party instead of Pocket D, never-minding those maps likely lack the auction house, or the appropriate hooks into the train-station.

    Now, if you know when the developers have had time to make copy the zones and implement the icy geometry changes to the most recent versions of those zones... go ahead and tell us.
    all i know is they had it before and havent had it since..
  6. during the very first winter Lord event they froze the lakes in Perez Park and the one in Steel Canyon and it was soooooo cool people hanging around.. ice skating.. throwing snowballs..

    never happened again ???

    WHY DEVS WHY ????!!!!!!!!!!
  7. good stuff Arcanaville. Thanks.

    Personally i never worry about the soft cap to that extreme. I have characters that are there. Some that get close and many that are somewhere in the middle.

    My concern is when I see blasters that should peak out at around 95% damage hovering around 70-80% because of their build but they are at the soft cap. I find myself asking.. whats going to happen when you face that foe that isnt phased by your defense? Do you have the tools to defeat your enemy?
  8. What level are people fighting him at ??
  9. Interesting. I havent played any of the new TF's yet. Good to know. This is what I expected, that things will start blowing through defenses.

    My fear was another GDF.
  10. I have been thinking about this lately. The sheer number of builds by AT's of all types that focus on defense as a priority will cause a blowback down the line with TF's. AV's and mobs that will basically blow through defense. Unlike many defense based powersets, there is no defense debuff resistance on these toons which I believe is going to be an issue for many.

    I see many builds that focus on defense. Yet many of these builds I see often have inadequate slotting in other places giving up things like damage. accuracy etc etc just to get to the " softcap ".

    I was talking to a friend who was helping one of his SG mates with a build and his mate was so focused on getting to the " softcap " that he wasnt seeing that his toon lacked accuracy and damage in critical areas. I said its good to try and build in defense where you can but if you make that the main thing if you run into something that ignores or debuffs your defense you arent really built to do what you are supposed to do in the first place.

    This is what started this train of thought for me and I wonder if others have had the same thought as well.
  11. you expected the price to drop immediately when the event started ??

    Invuln advise

    I noticed that Tough Hide is not in this build. I would also pick up Resist Physical Damage just to cap off S/L resistance and it offers Debuff Defense resistance. Tough Hide adds 5% defense as well as more defense debuff resistance.

    Those two powers IMO are very key in a build that relies on a combination of defense and resistance.
  13. hmmm gotta put this in Mids when I get home.
  14. So far I have done

    Avalanche- Ice/Stone tank
    Heatsink- Cold/Ice Defender
    Coldsnap- Ice/Cold Controller
    Stormbringer- Ice/Storm Controller

    out of all of these I like the Ice/Cold Defender the best. However if I were making him today he would be a Ice/Cold corruptor.

    I have also seen Ice/Nrg Blasters, Ice/Ice Blasters, and Ice/Kin corruptors being very popular as well as the proverbial Ice/Ice tank.

    I have also seen a few Ice/Rad corruptors and now with the color changes you should be able to make it look very cool.

    Ive never done an Ice Dom... Never saw a combination I liked but I want to try one.
  15. Same I will post mine when I get home as well.


    cue Dechs...
  16. Ive been begging for stuff WITHOUT the little deaths heads animation for YEARS. Id love to have some concepts like Anti Matter etc etc and the death heads dont go with that.

    As soon as I saw that patch this is exactly what I did because I knew like always they will go a little overboard and probably scale it back later because its too hard.

    so very true
  22. I have unlocked everyone that is 50. I decided that since I dont know what is coming in the future I might very well like some of the planned stuff so better just unlock it now.
  23. I'd like some free transfers. I would move quite a few toons actually.
  24. glad i burned through all my Alpha arc missions as of last night
  25. I have beaten Trapdoor with every toon I have at level 50. From the Strongest to the weakest. Every AT except Stalker and Warshade as I do not own either of them. 35+ different combos and I was able to beat him every time.

    Never pulled him out the room. Often times knocking him into the lava or making him come get me in the lava. Sometimes wiping out the copies and then turning back to him.

    Purple and Red inspirations are your friends..

    If they remove the ability to get him into the lava it will be a problem for some. I can see that.
