I think Arctic Air is a...bigger win than Ice Slick. It now confuses foes like crazy.

How do you guys slotting the updated powers Cold Snap and Ice Slick? Tried Ragnarok on IS on beta. Bunch of -1s and not much more to write home about. What about CS? Mini proc monster?

Someone here is understimating the power of a 1-2 aoe combo Shield charge + Mass Levitate. It feels...glorious. Plus, GPB is just sexy.

Battle Axe on F tier not even close. Almost every attack in the set provides KD, which is HUGE mitigation. And it comes with the possibility of slapping FF proc in several attacks. Which is insanely good by itself, especially with a secondary like SD which likes high recharge. If only it had the same treatment as War Mace with Clobber, it would be S tier by far.

In my mind, the br00t is a...brutal juggernaut who drives you to a slow, painful and unavoidable defeat. As opposite to scrapper who just tears you apart quickly and surgical. I know, in certain sets it can just be the opposite, but that's just me. With that in mind, my rad/dark br00t is EXACTLY like that: slow, miserable, unrelenting death by procs, two damage auras and punching in the face. While laughing maniacally, of course.

Or, you can just be awesome like this. Not br00t related, though. Inv_ss_tanker.mxd

Yeah, don't look at power placement, I'll rearrange them exemplar-friendly during respec.

Thanks for the hints guys. Placed the Might of the Tanker +Resist proc for good (how could I forgot that!) and I think now it's a go. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1395;675;1350;HEX;| |78DA65945B6F124114C767619142418ADC5BA08054A0C05A7CF212132FB52F96045| |BE32BD994816E44C0851A1B5FBDC74B5BE39BD6CBE7F0C5C4573F815FC04B4B4DD4| |AA4FEB61CF9960D34D96DFCE7FE69CF9EF393B946FCEBAEAF5B9334C729D6FAADD6| |EF5B2DABACA755B596D684B6C70D9E18EA35A9DE575DEEA726541AD696A4F6BB7AA| |67F56B6D3D4CD365DEE45C99D3B8BE8ACFCC5569B79BCA3C573B5AABE134078B1DC| |E6B1EA1D7B8DE5DD63A6E733CA735967BB03070A1A32D29E7F4951EAF9657AA65B5| |DB839461309284FB61067E24D39B61633FAD8C956466F945FC8D94FF200B3958999| |15971D76AD2EB64E232ACAC0248C1E24BC8030BC445E4BB1C6C443B31E98A64660C| |4241AC244AD6008A231771BB47E0CD26BCD9C8DB087971924727792CEC224BE4F13| |104DBC576F6103CC564E607C30E91D1D1B29811AE36B1833C789DA823C7BAC8A790| |7154328B65B0D1F720FA64F60444378936B70F3D8CF9918702C420D21F228691217| |87B0FD58F79B2CC14D720A35778F47EC695C12FC4AFC8F037E216727C1B99828C3E| |514F5F7E90D1C1C6895E980CD0A42540C58EFEC0C8681F29C1A290E869887A1AA79| |EC6A9A771EAA915164784D7087528419D49506712D4B1E45F64913A2443F084B033| |4176926423B9835C876AC4C40EB1552CD1E11BC45BC4BEC56C6F9A6150FA238E43D| |0EE49113C791CDB983E853C729A789278029979209BF441708A82E5D40B14332F89| |9BC8DC2BE21B640482A644D0D41A4DAE23A73788CF88CF914108CA8ACF209BC777F| |24175F2A23AF94DF456788D2CBE45862152112FA8DCC67447EF10EF12EF214BF789| |9FB04A1B50DA19B1EDCC311473F2F0FFC088CAC3F33D181B069BDF2F5564113138D| |8A6B4EDFCEFACE3AAFE7E69678F944403DFF788092CC687E9E14131DCF0799684C5| |7F36F1D09D| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Sure thing. mm nec dark.mxd

Actually I solo'ed that. With a /rad brute, tbh. Loooooooong stuff, but extremely safe.

There's something off over here. Every armor set has his weaknesses, holes, something that you can adjust somehow with IOs, incarnates...and smart playing. Psi hole, one of the eldest. Or DA without Kb protection, or SD with no end management and no heal. Let's say none of these holes makes a set unplayable. Everything is playable AND enjoyable. Given that smart playing is a feature not included in the game, everything else seems pretty balanced, with some sets slightly "better" than others based on the game situation. Maybe it's just me, but I can't find any weakness in RA. And no, cold resistance is not, even in a map full of cold damage critters. I mean, I can play this toon without even looking what's happening on the screen and mashing random buttons. Ok, a bit exxagerated, but still. 1k+ absorb? Sheesh. How anything outside 802.x's is supposed to kill me?

Bad rep? Necro/dark is one of my most solid and reliable toons. There's very little he can't do with all that -to hit flying around.

Earth/earth dom is something that can't go away unnoticed.
