What's the cap on -damage? Has anyone looked?

I've got a pretty good build I think, though I suspect the forums would probably shred it were I ever to work up the courage to post it. It's soft capped to all that stuff and has good regen and recharge.

I'd really like to do a secondary build with Darkest Night and keep Ice Storm on my primary build, but I don't want to lay out for all the LotG's and sets that I have on my primary build. That's why I was thinking about doing just a common IO build with maybe some specific IO's like the +3% DEF one. The problem is that to me, without spending all that INF, I won't have the really good tanking build that I want.

Icicles should hit every two seconds right? So the 5% -Damage should stack up to 20% pretty quick and stay there. Like I said above, with Void you'd be looking at 100% easy. And then 55% maintained. That's pretty dang good IMO.

I suppose everyone's gone reactive, but this sure seems like a good Tank option to me. And since I can swap reactive and paralytic as I want them it seems silly not to have the option. It's just that losing Ice Storm (and Ice Bolt and the Ice hold) out of my build bugs me for character reasons.

How does reactive work differently with auras (I have Icicles for example) than Rain powers (I have Ice Storm)?

I didn't even realize that Ice Storm would be proccing reactive. Not sure why, I was mostly thinking about Icicles.

Ice/Axe, just in case it matters.

I always watch it on hulu, so it doesn't much matter when NBC airs it for me.

I may make a second build for running the trials on my MM. One that has more attacks since it sounds a lot like I won't be doing too much pet stuff.

Hello!

At the very least I'm thinking of making a secondary build for my Ice Tanker (or maybe changing my primary build) using Darkest Night so I can stack the -Damage in it with the -Damage in Chilling Embrace and the -Damage stacking in the Paralytic Interface slot. Has anyone played with these -Damage debuffs?

Will they work effectively on AV's etc? Seems like I should be able to stack them pretty easily up to 50% or more.

Thanks!

I'd actually recommend away from Colour of Magic. That was the first Pratchett book I read and it turned me off of him for ten+ years. Only when I went back I read Guards Guards and then many of the others did I realize what a genius the guy is.

Even holding as high an opinion of Pratchett as I do I still don't enjoy Colour of Magic very much.

The Tiffany Aching books are amazing, and should be considered appropriate for adults as much as for YA. The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is a book of wonderful depth and I'd recommend it to anyone.

One thing about WP is that it has a really good low level experience. With inherent stamina and then Quick Recovery landing at 12 you can easily be running your first four toggles even with DO Endurance Reductions. It lets you be a tank sooner I think.

You don't spend a lot of time on those early levels I admit, but for a new player that might make a difference.

I started a WP/Elec tanker a while ago and have had a great run up to about 28 so far.

Just logged in and my Enforcers look OK. They're each providing 14.12% DEF through Manuevers so their DEF enhancers are working.

Breog are you still seeing this?

Every power would have a no graphics option.

Hello!

I'm working my way slowly through the newer Incarnate content. I'm not aiming for Very Rares, I just don't play that much, but I am trying to get to Rares all the way across (Very Rare's could come later I suppose).

I have Judgement (the Ice one to fit my theme) and Lore but I have no idea what to look at for Interface and Destiny.

Interface: Paralytic maybe? The idea of stacking -5% damage on a foe is pretty appealing. Does it stack like that? It would then stack with the damage reduction in Chilling Embrace, and that might be cool. Otherwise I'm thinking the fire proc (75%) for extra damage. I do have Icicles running on top of my attacks, so it seems like any proc would have a good chance of hitting two or three times at least. Any thoughts on Interface for me?

Destiny: This one seems to be pretty cut and dried, but I might be missing something. It seems like Rebirth would be the way to go, maybe the one with the 90s regen boost? Barrier sounds like it could be good too, but I'm not sure I would get enough resist for long enough to really make it worth it.

I don't think I have Perma Hoarfrost, in case that matters. I don't have Hasten, though I've thought of respeccing it in. APP is the Ice one with Ice Storm.

Funny how much different my character would be if I could recolor pool powers like Hasten or Darkest Night.

Thanks!
