Many thanks all for the feedback's!. Still trying to get my head around things. You say 45% defense beats 75% resist, ok so 45% defense means they might miss ALMOST every other attack right?, but 75% resist means they all hit but I take 75% less damage?. If I am seeing this right the constant dmg reduction every hit seems better than a almost 50/50 chance of being hit? In any case I fell the best thing for me is to go ranged defense first as someone did mention, as I am a ice blaster and hold everything at a distance.

Ok I'm not too sure on this soft cap thing I keep hearing about. I am a blaster, lets say I have a epic pool aurora that gives 30% resistance and slotted and for argument sake gives me 40%, if I also have another aurora that has 16% resistance meaning 56% total, I assume its pointless as I keep hearing about a 45% soft cap? I would have to guess in saying to drop the extra 16% and choose another skill? Thanks in advance.

I'm just glad to be back to be honest. But I guess a real suggestion would be content. Love everything else that makes the game what it is.

I'll just throw my 2 cents in as well with my ICE/ICE/ICE blaster, a little of everything. Crazy amount of holds for control. AOE sleep/hold. High single target damage, nice high AOE damage. VERY nice aura giving absorb and high +end recovery( and acts like a taunt). Good heal, decent defense/armor. And a get out of trouble skill with immune/crazy regen and recovery. Slows, and the fish of water skill always fun to watch,......oh and did I mention holds...lol. Pretty well rounded as far as a blaster goes.

Monday morning I had the normal 10 Enhancement Tabs. Logged back in the evening and had 2, someone said they had the same bug and a simple re-zone fixed it. So I clicked on my 'fly' icon to re-zone and the 2 tabs turned to 7. The re-zone never fixed it, so I shutdown, re-validated the game files still with no luck. Anyone else had this problem too? To update: I tried today to log to a different server create a new player still only 7 tabs showing. Is there a config file maybe in the registry that I can edit to make 10?. Or would a full re install of the game help? or maybe its my account info on the server where the glitch is?.

Ok I've never played a Sentinel before, always been defender and blasters. Quick question about the secondary power sets. I was thinking of /SR or should I just stay with a simple defense one like willpower for example.

Ice secondary has Frigid Protection that adds +end Recovery and also Absorb and has no cost. The synergy with ICE/ICE is amazing. you will get 2 boosts. And if you really want the best, go ICE/ICE/ICE.

Your right on the money I think with absorb. Coming back after so many years I have been doing some solo missions to relearn my skills. I have noticed from trash mobs (minions) I have been taking no dmg. Thinking I'm older and wiser and playing better now (LOL) was not the answer, then I thought maybe they had been nerfed, BUT its as you said, the absorb points even unslotted was enough to cover their dmg. So I am not healing anywhere near as much as I did back on live. So I think i'll take 3 of the 6 slots I put normally on medicine (aid self) and make a 6 slot Frigid Protection, 3 heal/absorb 3/end mod

Ok, so the +14 I kept seeing was being subtracted from each attack so 34dmg becomes 20dmg. I then assume 3 slots for the +recovery, but don't waste another 3 for the temp hitpoints? as a ice/ice blaster we seem to have so many holds, knockdown, and control, that the 3 slots I would guess is more important to those to keep them away from us. :)

First off great to be back home! only found out we were back a couple of weeks ago by accident. Spent the usual 1 day in costume creation lol and recreated my old look. Starting my ICE/ICE blaster and made it to lvl 10, I notice we now get frigid protection over chilling embrace and I'm loving it. The recovery regen is very nice along with stamina's recovery. Both I will 3 slot for the +recovery. My question, is frigid protection's health regen worth an extra 3 slots for heals if I have them, or is it very minimal?. at lvl 10 I get +14 nothing slotted. Thanks all. Ah so great to be back, these fine people have made this old gamer very happy.

Strange question, I hope this is the correct forum. Back in live I had a certain costume/aura look. I have been able to re create it again. (YAY!). Back then I was a defender and used one of the elite power set skills from 'power mastery' called 'Temp Invulnerability'. I just tried a Dominator today for the first time and I love it!. I see they have a Elite power set 'Psionic Mastery' with a skill called 'Mind over Body'. Both skills for defender and dominator have the same description on wiki. This is a longshot but would anyone know if both skills give the same Aura when activated?
