Glacier Peak

That one took me many times solo, I will add that to the list of future runs and tag you when I figure out what day to run it.

I think that the animation also shows like a purplish vfx on the player too. I only ever slot mine in other Aim or Build Up type powers, so many that's what I'm seeing.

Is this going to be a reoccurring event?

Meant to comment on this thread earlier - well said @Blaze Charger!

Are the pictures in the Discord link?

What are the level ranges at for this now?

I think the OP is referring to the green numbers that come from healing. I thought there was a setting to disable those...

I haven't played a Bane beyond level four. I'm going to have to start one!

I want a boomerang powerset.

Thank you for sharing this article. I'm not on these sites too often because of the ads/spam, so it's appreciated!

Haha 😄

I'm not partial to any particular Defender powerset.

Interesting read.

Thanks! It's a very chaotic final mission and it's a big map. I might try to change my instructions to give folks less bloat and more what's important at the moment. I think it went well though - I'm glad I changed the difficulty in the beginning.

Excellent work on the first Indom Badge Run! Everyone got the badges and with seconds to spare! Big shout out to @FrauleinMental for the badge saving teleports at the end of the last mission and @ZorkNemesis for making sure I was headed in the right direction. Sorry for spawning Honoree before we were set 🙂 I'll see everyone who signs up next week when we start the PvP badges.

The build I posted is for all content. It's not a Pylon-only build.

Thanks for everyone signing up for the LGTF 1-star badge run. I'll see you all in game in a few hours! There is one spot remaining if anyone has any friends that want to join us. Otherwise, I think we'll be fine. I've soloed this at 1-star on my main, we just need to defeat those pesky Rikti Scientists in each mob before they spawn a portal and we'll be fine. I will be giving folks a tour of the hidden easter eggs before we begin (and in the last mission) so they get the full experience. @Glacier Peak Glacier Peak - Ice/Cold Corruptor @ZorkNemesis Weald Warden - Archery/Plant Blaster @Bananiac Bananiac (Plant/Rad Controller) @Cece Princess Cecilia - elec/elec blaster. @FrauleinMental Fraulein Mental - Mind/Kin Controller @Milrop Sequestered - Willpower/Super Strength Tanker @Midnyte Midnyte - DM/WP Brute

If SR players are seeking Resistance, Rune of Protection is the other option besides Tough for Resist IO set slotting.

I've had a chance to play around with the new Ice Mastery Epic Powerset for Corruptors and I wanted to share my experience. The build I use is below for reference. V3_Corruptor (Ice Blast - Cold Domination) - Glacier Peak.mbd Ice Mastery has added a number of unique tools to my Corruptor that I've enjoyed using. The Epic Powerset gave flexibility that I didn't have previously have when I selected either Fire Mastery or Psionic Mastery (my standard Epic Powerset picks on my Corruptor). If a player is searching for additional defense/res option, increase in damage output, a self heal that maxes HP to 1606, or a number of powers to frankenslot purples, Ice Mastery has it. I'll cover each power below and give my thoughts. I'd like to read what others have found in their playing of Ice Mastery on Corruptors. Flash Freeze - Ranged (Targeted AoE), DMG(Cold), Foe Sleep (Available at Level 35) Power Description: You can Flash Freeze a large patch of ground beneath a targeted foe, instantly forming dozens of deadly ice shards that do Cold damage to all enemies in the area. The victims are left trapped within the icicles, but can break free if disturbed. Only targets near the ground can be affected. Notes: The Sleep component of this power is Auto Hit against regular enemies, but a To Hit check is required to against AVs and players, as well as to make secondary effects apply. Player Feedback: I've only tried this out on my build sparingly. With the other powers available in this Epic Powerset, it's tough to choose this one over the other options available and due to my build having multiple Targeted Area of Effect (TAoE) powers, it doesn't synergize well. The Mag 3 Sleep works nicely against even-level minions, lieutenants, and bosses, but starts to lose it's effectiveness as a damage mitigation tool as I fought higher level enemies or the enemies had resistance to Sleep. If a player's powerset already has access to a Sleep AoE, this would be a great power to stack mez with. Players can also slot the Fortunata Hypnosis Sleep Invention Origin Set in to this power if they are searching for additional recharge (5-slot for 10% recharge) or Fire/Cold (3-slot for 6% Fire/Cold res) or Toxic/Psi res (6-slot for 6% Toxic/Psi res). I tried out slotting the Chance for Placate proc and it's a bit duplicative/redundant because the enemies are in Sleep status for 14 seconds, and Placate status for 8 seconds. Additionally, players can slot the Ragnarok TAoE Invention Origin Set as well for the same set bonuses as the Fortunata Hypnosis Invention Origin set (with a Chance for Knocknown instead of Placate). This power has a rather high amount of endurance cost (19.5 end) per use and a max target of 10. Overall I can see the utility of this power, however, for my build - it didn't fit. Frozen Armor - Toggle: Self +Def(Smash, Lethal), +Res(Cold, Fire) (Available at Level 35) Power Description: While this power is active, you coat yourself in rock hard Frozen Armor. The hardness of the Frozen Armor offers good defense to Smashing and Lethal attack as well as reduces Cold damage. Also, Fire attacks deal slightly less damage. Player Feedback: This is a fantastic Epic Powerset shield for any player who wants access to both Res or Def Invention Origin set slotting! The 12.75% +def Smashing/Lethal is comparable to the other def shield available to Corruptors from Mace Mastery and the res (+22.5% Cold, +7.5% Fire) is also comparable to other Epic Powersets with res shields as well. Aside from those comparables, this is the power to choose if a player is not taking Flash Freeze. I use this in conjunction with Arctic Fog to get a hefty Cold res and some nice Fire res also. Hoarfrost - Self Heal, +Max HP, Res(Toxic) (Available at Level 38) Power Description: Activating this power covers you in a thick layer of Hoarfrost. The frost can absorb the impact from enemy attacks, effectively increasing your maximum Hit Points for a short time. Hoarfrost also grants you resistance to Toxic Damage. You must be level 38 and have one other Ice Mastery Powers before selecting this power. Player Feedback: Let's start with the fact that only one other Epic Powerset for Corruptors offers a click self heal (Energize from Mu Mastery at Level 41), but none offer a click self heal AND MaxHP! The self heal from Hoarfrost gives 321.2691 HP at base level (it can be enhanced to give even more!). Do you want to cap your HP without investing heavily in set bonuses? Hoarfrost will do it for you - it offers 160.6 MaxHP (enhanceable) and an additional 160.6 MaxHP (unenhanceable) to your health pool. Additionally, it offers +11.25% res to Toxic (enhanceable). This power lasts 120 seconds and recharges in 540 seconds. With enough +recharge, a player can get it to the point where it only has 20 seconds of downtime if they desire. This is another unique tool available for players who are looking for additional HP, the best self heal offered from an Epic Powerset, or another place to slot Healing or Resistance Invention Origin set bonuses. Build Up - Self +DMG, +To Hit (Available at Level 41) Power Description: Greatly increases the amount of damage you deal for a few seconds, as well as slightly increasing your Accuracy. Player Feedback: Oh boy! This has been my favorite power addition to Corruptors in a long time. Build Up and Aim are normally only available in combination with Blaster powersets. The difference with this Build Up is that it's base recharge is 180 seconds. That's not terrible considering a player will cap their proc chance (90%) with Gaussians Synchronized Fire-Control: +Chance for Build Up even with 100% recharge slotted in the power (to bring it down to a cool 90 seconds - about the same as Blizzard when slotted for recharge!) - even faster with additional set bonus +recharge. There is something magical about Aim+Build Up (slotted with Gaussian's BU)+Sleet+Blizzard (and then Scourge kicks in!!!) on a mob of enemies. This power really helps get the target(s) in to Scourge territory due to the added burst damage. Ice Elemental - Summon Ice Elemental: Melee DMG(Lethal/Cold) (Available at Level 44) Power Description: You can create a very powerful entity of animated ice at a targeted location. Ice Elemental possesses several ice powers to attack any nearby foes and can be healed and buffed like any teammate. You must be level 44 and have two other Ice Mastery Powers before selecting this power. Player Feedback: The last power in the Epic Powerset and it's pretty comparable to the Villain Patrol Powersets summons, albeit the cast time is quicker if that is something a player desires. With some heavy recharge slotting, +recharge set bonuses, and a +rech temporary power, players can get this pet perma'd. I went with 6-slotting the Soulbound Allegiance Invention Origin set to get all the damage I could out of the pet (and the Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for Build Up proc goes off enough to make the pet damage worthwhile). The pet is pretty sturdy when used in conjunction with my character's powerset (casting shields and Frostwork help!), but it may not be that resilient when used by other Corruptor powersets. I generally use this pet when fighting against AV/Hero class enemies. The pet A.I. is not terrible, but it can aggro enemies from farther away because it has access to ranged powers like Ice Bolt and Freezing Touch. Only downside I see with this power is that it's four picks deep - but the other picks along the way are worthwhile, so it's a fair opportunity cost. So those are my thoughts - what are your experiences with using Ice Mastery?

Always well ran, @Milrop. Thanks for sharing the strategy.

NoPhase is a temporary auto power. It's recharge can't be affected. It will remain the same regardless of any buffs. It's not a toggle or click power, so a countdown doesn't make much sense given this. And as you pointed out, the NoPhase status is applied because at the time of the change, other powers could be used after or separately from Hibernate, like Phase Shift, to artificially extend the duration of a player being unaffected to infinity. Bottom line, it's an auto power that doesn't have a recharge timer because auto powers don't have recharge.
