Chilling Embrace Always Needs To Be Toggled

[Castrum]

Is it normal for Chilling Embrace to need to be re-activated after every single CC that hits me? It seems like it plays the animation for it re-activating after the CC ends, but it remains off nonetheless and I have to manually re-activate it. It's really annoying.

Any toggle that affects a target needs to be retoggled. Only toggles that affect yourself stay on through CC.

Seems really dumb. It's a PBAoE that I basically need to re-activate every 5 seconds vs. some enemy factions.

Keep BFs handy is all I can tell you. I get it, it's a pain, but that and IOs is your only options.

? Get your mez protection wet ice at lvl 6 for a tank or level 10 for everyone else and you golden except in extreme situations

 

*edit* unless of course you are a blaster or dominator

 

It could be much worse, you used to lose all toggles no matter what and the simple fact is, toggles which effect the enemy get turned off so you cant continue to debuff them when mezed.

Makes me wish I just rolled Fire again tbh.

CC can be a pain in the butt at times for sure, but there are ways to mitigate its impact.

 

First and foremost, learn what mobs are doing the CC and either CC them as your opener (assuming the sets you're playing with have such an option), or see if you can overwhelm the offending mob with raw damage such as with a snipe power (if available). Failing either of those, you can simply keep Break Free inspirations handy and pop them before engaging those foes that like to CC you. Those insps will render you immune to CC for a short while.

 

Next, if you are a Blaster and can manage the inf necessary or have the merits available, there is a Blaster specific enhancement set called Defiant Barrage. One of the enhancements in this set is very valuable. It basically makes the attack you slot it in stack a status protection buff on you. You could slot this enhancement into one of your tier one or tier 2 attacks (the ones you can still activate when you get cc'd) and stack some status protection on yourself. Ideally you'd get a stack or two up before any of the enemies reacted with CC so you'd be protected.

 

Another available option is the Rune of Protection power from the Sorcery pool. This power gives you status protection and some resistance to all damage. It has a very long recharge time but can be used preemptively to render yourself immune to CC and resistant to damage when engaging those CC happy enemies.

 

Hopefully some of this info helps.

Or if a person is rolling in Inf, they can purchase the Defense Booster at the P2W vendor. Giving you mez protection and some spare defense points! It ain't cheap though xD
