I noticed this today too, and it looks like the Immobilization protection is on Cloak of Darkness, just like it is for tankers.
But yeah, it'd be nice to have the power description accurately reflect the power.

I'm thinking of trying a Storm Blast/Dark Amour Sentinel.

Sure, but please don't make them random...
Oh, I was just imagining popping down the top of one geyser and popping out near where it would have sent you.
And ideally, it wouldn't be any more random than jumping down broken "elevator" shafts or using the portals in oranbega missions. (which is to say "not normally random, but occasionally weird stuff happens")

Just make then instantly teleport you a connecting pad on another island...
Yeah, it'd hurt the flavour of the zone a little, but that'd probably be the easiest fix.
I'd change them from geysers then, make them mystery holes. You jump in and pop out somewhere else.-

Honestly, I think the thing that would have the best chances of making the shadow shard fun is if the Geysers could actually work like they're supposed to so you could actually navigate a path with them.
Even on live it was "Oh, they work if turn off sprint and your travel powers" but swift and hurdle seem to mess with things too.I understand the difficulty in the prospect of it, but flight and teleport don't actually get you to experience the Shadow Shard the way Super Jump and Super Speed do. You're interacting less with the environment.
(Alternatively, maybe there's a way to just double all flight speeds and teleportation distances while in the Shadow Shard? Even the jet packs and rocket board stuff)

I did one today in Steel on my mace wielding Esther Bunnie, and got one shotted over and over... and tossed in the air way above the big statue in Blyde Square.
I just picked base instead of hospital and got back right into the action. The expees paid for the debt and then some.
I was the one in local going "wheeeeeeEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee"
It was awesome.
There's no debt in any of the raids. You'll notice that you get a special "100% debt resistance" power when in a raid activated zone.

I think it's been specifically stated that it's something they couldn't figure out how to do.

I'm not against your suggestion, but you'd have to fundamentally change how mission objectives work, first, then you can start to take things like perception into account...
Okay, sometimes you can fly up into a wall or the ceiling and the map disappears and you only see the Mobs and the mission objectives. It'd be interesting if there as a way to do that intentionally.

Long Jack has a short mission arc culminating defeating Maestro. After you finish it, he introduces you to Tobias Hanson. As long as you finish it before level 25. If you hit level 25 in the process of finishing the arc, he has nothing more to say to you and will not introduce you to Tobias Hanson unless you go through the arc again in Ouroboros.
Tobias Hanson is not available in the Search for Contact list unless you're introduced to him by Long Jack.Please change long jack so he'll introduce you to Tobias as long you have his souvenir.

Provoke sucks
Provoke used to be "mandatory" for tanks. At launch Taunt was single target so if you wanted to get everyone's attention, you grabbed provoke, because it was AoE.
There was a big movement that a power pool pick shouldn't be required to do your job and that a secondary power shouldn't be weaker than a pool power.
So Taunt was changed to an AoE and Provoke was changed to require a to-hit roll in PVE.
Since then a lot of changes have been made to the game and Taunt in particular. Taunt now has a range debuff.
I think it'd be within reason to change Provoke to be identical to Taunt except without the range debuff.

This is not true. Stealth (the power) and other stealth powers (such as Energy Cloak), DO suppress your taunt aura.
I don't know if just having an IO is enough to do it. But also, if they see you and hit you the stealth will be broken and the aura will unsuppress.The approach isn't entirely uniform. Like Venomous Gas does not suppress but Reaction Time does. Dynamo does but World of Confusion does not.

Stealth never suppressed a taunt aura. Go to the P2W vendor, and buy the "Only Affects Self" power. That combined with stealth will suppress your taunt aura.
Stealth does suppress some taunt auras (and some non-taunt auras).
Entropic Aura, for example, suppresses under stealth. It's the Target requires :

Yeah, for stuff like the towers at the end of Time's Arrow or the Hamidon Buds in the middle of Lady Grey's Task Force, you sometimes have a reason for sticking around a little after the mission ends.

All those examples and talk and you just roared past pumpkin pie with a toss off rename
you sir have invalidated everything you stated with that one remark. It is, without doubt,a Pumpkin Pie.
Would you care to try the bonus round, where the numbers can really change?They've already stated that they are acting without intellectual honesty and ignoring any definition of pie that does not match their own.

What the hell is a lid? You mean a crust?!?
Pastry lid is also common nomenclature for a top crust.

Alright. It probably comes from the general belief that 22/7 is a poor representation of Pi in general. If you're going to have a date in the calendar that is supposed to represent it, why would you choose one that is typically seen as not very representative.
Sets. Subsets. I don't care. Pie<>tart. Further a Pie isn't a tart with a lid any more than a tart is a pie without one. Your definition says that a tart is a pie. No it isn't. Pie's have lids. Tarts don't.
I see absolutely no reason why I should accept your definition of pie when I don't see anyone else requiring a lid. You just seem to think you're right and decide not to research at all.

You can slot all the PvP sets at level 7. It's one of the things that makes them so valuable. Fury of the Gladiator, Gladiator's Armor, Gladiator's Javelin, Gladiator's Net, Gladiator's Strike, Javelin Volley, Panacea, and Shield Wall. And like very rare IO sets, they grant their set bonuses regardless of what level you exemplar to.
https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/PvP_IO_Sets
So between the PvP IO sets and the very rare IO sets, you can slot your character to never lose set bonuses. Especially since the PvP IO sets are not unique.
Yes, but the level 10 enhancement bonuses aren't really exciting and set bonuses at level 7... well, you've only got 6 additional slots. But Steadfast Resistance and Gladiator's Armour's +3 Defense and Panacea: chance for +health and +endurance are all nice benefits at any level. Regenerative Tissue's +25% health regeneration can be slotted at level 10 too, but Miracle, Performance Shifter, and Preventative Medicine aren't available until level 17, and Numina's Convalescence is 27.
And the "Doesn't matter what level you exemplar to" feature of PVP sets is much more exciting with level 50 enhancements than it is with level 10 enhancements.

Put in all the definitions you downloaded on the internet you like, a pie is not a tart. And pies have lids. Tarts do not.
also 22/7 is not closer to 3.1416 than 3.14.22/7 - 3.1416 = 0.001257
3.1416 - 3.14 = 0.0016
The closer number should have the smaller difference, right? (This one is honestly baffling to me, because you're not the first person I've heard say that 3.14 is better than 22/7, and every time I check, 22/7 is closer.)
A pie may not be a tart, but a tart is clearly a pie. So if tart is a subset, it's fully contained within the superset.

Wait, people slot enhancements before 22?
Oh, yeah. You can slot Steadfast resistance, Gladiator's Armour, and Panacea all at level 7. Then the archetype enhancements at 10.

Also, on topic, don't you also call Pizza a pie? Pies have lids. Pizzas don't.
Pumpkin Pie, Sweet Potato Pie, Lemon Cream Pie, Banana Cream Pie, Chocolate pie, Cheese pie do not have lids. They're all custard based pies (straight up custard pie also doesn't have a lid). Apple pie pretty regularly can have a streusel topping in lieu of a lid too. You also find a lot of peach pies without lids. Strawberry pies too. Honestly, I think lidded strawberry pies are rarer than the lidless type.
Stuffed Pizzas like Chicago Deep Dish have lids.

How does someone play a toon all the way to 50 before deciding they don’t like it?
Usually I know by the time I’ve completed my first Posi TF - so around lvl18
Well, with full builds, sometimes you'll notice something that you hadn't noticed with leveling builds. I had a Time/ Beam Rifle defender. Fun to play, but I got to level 50 and full incarnate unlocks before I decided I hated the way I was constantly drawing and putting away my beam rifle. Mechanically it didn't make a difference, but aesthetically I did not care for it. I re-rolled as Time/Ice.

Yeah, I've always assumed that the "full character respecs aren't allowed" was more of a "we can't figure out how to make it work" than a "it wouldn't be balanced"
Making the Shadow Shard fun
in General Discussion
Posted
It's not about convenience. They are most assuredly not fine. Gravity Geysers are how the Shadow Shard is meant to be navigated, it's just so much more fun than flying or teleporting. But they don't work quite right. They should launch you, have a clear and clean trajectory, and you should have some idea of how to progress from where you land. This is not how they work.
I want the geysers to work, but they don't, and I'm not sure that they can be made to work. Well... maybe with how travel modes work now and with speeds not stacking, just the highest value taking precedence, maybe they can use that to give the geysers a special power that sets your travel speeds to the specifics necessary to make it work?
