you get 1 respec every 10 levels, you can use the command /respec to do it. I should note that you should *NOT* Respec inside your SG base as that can crash the game and corrupt your character data.

and just for fun, Spring Attack

I was thinking Force Field/Sonic Resonance

Correct, Plus, if I remember correctly, everyone would need to be in Ouroboros to start the mission anyway.

It's also easier to cap out Res/Def to all but Psi in Granite And yes, you can do this while removing the penalties.

yeah, Defense Debuffs and -Recharge are the bane of Bio because it relies on 3 click powers to survive. It's a great set, don't get me wrong, but it is not head and shoulders above the other sets IMO.

Of course, that requires you to be level 25, in which case you can already access Ouro through a portal, so what's the point of TT?

I always take Cloak of Darkness and Oppressive Gloom, I've personally never taken CoF (for the end reason you stated) but I've seen plenty of viable tankers do it. The trick is using Taunt to pull them in rather than zooming around the room trying to get everyone's attention passively.

yeah, it's right around 600% bonus regen (for a total of 700% regen) if you have both of them up. That's IO'd out WP level of regen.

Hmm, I have been tooling around with a plant/traps for a while. I always looked at stacking tree with triage, but never thought about getting enough recharge to stack them with themselves.

I don't have any characters with Surveillance so I can't double check this, but to my knowledge, only strength is affected by the purple patch, not duration.

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention... in game, the accuracy will state 1.0 this actually means you have a 75% chance of hitting a +0 enemy. That's why slotting 1 accuracy (which puts you at the cap of 95%) is important.

correct. I would look at the power information to see what the power needs, however. For example, with the exception of Frostbite and Glacier, you can get away with 1 accuracy enhancement, the two I mentioned have an accuracy penalty, so I'd slot it with 2 accuracies.

The diminishing returns (Enhancement Diversification or ED) really kicks in at 3 SO enhancements or 2 level 50+4 enhancements

Between Darkest Night and Fearsome Stare, you're looking at 30% -tohit (unslotted, against +0s) meaning unslotted you're looking at 14.4% to-hit debuff against +4s. Fade 3 slotted for defense (or the equivalent thereof) is 14.6% defense, meaning you're at an effective 30% defense. Shadow Fall gives another 3.75% defense. Keep the enemies together between Tar Patch, Living Shadows (3.6% tohit against +4s), Fearsome Stare, and Heart of Darkness (another form of mitigation) and you (should) be fairly sturdy. What are you fighting that is immobilize resistant? one of the few things I can think of are Warwolves.

I'm assuming you have a lot of global accuracy/to-hit slotted as well?

Arctic Air doesn't take accuracy, the Confuse is just a % chance to hit, so yes, you can slot it from IOs, but it's not necessarily worth it. Contagious Confusion, however, might be. my highest Ice controller is only 30 so I'm not versed in how purples work in that power. Similarly, OSA doesn't take Accuracy, I believe the fire damage is Auto-hit. BTW: This thread has got me wanting to roll an Ice/TA troller.

can we get Pointed Sticks?

I've never played an Ice/TA, but I've played lots of Controllers and lots of TAs and what I have to say is you need to respec your build. Block of Ice should be one of your first 2 powers and should be 6 slotted. I'm hoping your origin is either Magic or Technology, because the starting powers for those can ignite Oil Slick Arrow. Mid's Reborn is an awesome utility to plan out builds, but you really need MBRU to get everything that is currently in game Here is my (quickly built and expensive) idea of an Ice/TA and here is the Mid's file to give you a better idea of what I took Hero Plan by Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer 2.6.0.7 https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer Click this DataLink to open the build!

I'm going to stop you right there. Flash Arrow does not stack from the same caster.

Yes, there are lots of sets that will help you, but it really depends on what you're building for. If you have Mid's Reborn, I'd suggest posting your current build so that we can get a better idea of what you're doing.

Panacea should go into Health, otherwise it works on a 120 second timer. I've never done anything but frankenslot Dark Regen, but I would assume it works the same as all other AoEs in that you have a chance for it to proc per enemy hit, but it can only proc once per power activation.

not sure off the top of my head, but I know it's way more than 20.

of course, if you're trying for a Master of Miss Liberty, you need a tank that has Fly and not just the Jetpack since Temps aren't allowed.
