And that's the problem... Don't get me wrong, having an extra SO worth of damage is nice, but unless it's something like this case where you have all of the other ducks in a row it's not a feasible strategy for the most part.

So, the problem is that in a semi recent patch, the devs made it so that travel powers are no longer exclusive. The bind you probably are using relied on hover and fly being exclusive. Summoning @Linea with their knowledge of press and release binds.

what you want isn't Dampening Bubble, it's Repulsion Field https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=defender_buff.force_field.repulsion_field&at=defender

Minimal FX does not necessarily mean no-FX (like what Inv and WP get). Ice and Stone both have minimal FX too and they still show some FX.

A while ago, I noticed that when I had an OC on my GPU that the game would randomly crash. I also had other issues with that GPU though where even at stock it would sometimes black my screen and turn the GPU fans to 100%. For that I ended up needing to under clock the GPU... Interestingly enough, that seems to have been a Windows thing, as when I switched to Linux it never did that at stock speed. Anyway, I've derailed, try going to stock speed on your GPU, that's my suggestion.

If you're dying as a tanker at low levels, you may have the difficulty too high. A Shield tanker really doesn't begin to shine until you have Deflection/Battle Agility/True Grit/Active Defense fully slotted.

The new bubble should act the same as old Force Bubble PROVIDED you don't slot a KB->KD in it. If you do, the force bubble repel is disabled.

No, but they did say "all the TFs" so that would logically mean including hard mode. If the OP is not including hard mode, then my suggestion would be to pick a primary that sounds like fun then pick a secondary that sounds fun. If your primary doesn't include a self heal, I'd probably lean toward Dark or Water Blast but that's not even necessary.

I'm not super familiar with how AE works, but I think there is a way to mark an enemy as a named boss via the objective window, this might solve your problem. if you can't solve it, then I support this suggestion.

I like how the OP is literally thumbs downing every post.

I'll 2nd shield for charging, pair it with Savage or Electric melee for a second charge like ability. As for buffing, kin, time, and nature do a good job at buffing both yourself and your teammates.

Domination has mez protection to but it is not permanent out of the box.

That would be Echo the Dolphin, a Sega Genesis game.

it makes me sad that you don't keep vengeance in your tray.

I just wish I knew as much about things I haven't tried.

Dark Blast or Dual Pistols would be my choice for secondary. Dark adds to-hit debuffs to your defense while Dual Pistols can use chemical rounds to lower enemy damage. Repulsion Field works like a combination of the two powers it replaced. Just don't slot a KB->KD in it and you can still use it just like Force Bubble. I haven't gotten a chance to try Dampening Bubble yet, but it seems promising.

If all you want is an echo chamber, this forum ain't it. It seems this thread started with some constructive criticism, but you couldn't handle that. Remember: constructive feedback good; attacking people who disagree with you bad. Think about which category you've put yourself in.

You have basics of a power set but no values. How are we supposed to know that this set is weaker to fire/cold other than you said it in a later post? Also, what does Mercury do? Where is the taunt aura that tanks/brutes would get? What strength does the set have to make up for its weakness to fire/cold? What truly makes this set unique that a recoloured Invulnerability/willpower/shield can't accomplish? Finally, attacking people is not the best strategy to get someone to agree with you.

If I'm reading this correctly, the OP, and at least a few other people, are complaining about a QOL change that doesn't have to be utilized... If you really want to, you can still take your powers at the levels you used to. I... don't understand the problem.

Are you comparing Arctic Air, a primary power to WoC, an ancillary power? WoC can be useful but really needs you to stay in melee for the confuse to stick and is best when your set has another confuse power in it to stack.

I would be for this except for two things 1. Sometimes taking both invisibility powers is a good thing 2. Illusion *really* doesn't need a buff

I like MA because you can layer some serious defense on top of your resistances. Only problem is no DDR.

I could have sworn tornado is limited to 1 at a time. I know you can have multiple Lightning Storms out

Not sure if this is a bug or if its intentional. I just logged on to see just how "mini" the mini mode costume power was and... my cape stayed at full size even though I was mini-fied.
