Ice Armor Questions


Owenknowone

Recommended Posts

I have been playing around with mids and I'm not necessarily a mid / max guy but I have focused on different aspects of multiple builds.  A few questions for those who run ice.  Is there a benefit to focusing on regen and health?  I can get some pretty good numbers regarding resists so I thought maybe a more balance approach or go all in on healing / regen.  Thoughts?

Ice is primarily a defense set, so your first priority should be to cap as much defense as possible.

 

I've never thought about Regen, but now that your mention it, extra regeneration would be a good combo with hoarfrost.

What this team needs is more Defenders

It's been awhile since I ran an Ice Tanker, however, I would think Defense first, after that, maybe Regen can beat out Resist or equal it, in terms of what to chase after.  You should be, I believe maxing out HP after all.  Tanker Proc will give a nice 6-12% Resist as well.

Im pulling plus 600% regen.  Not sure if thats a good number versus reversing course and re-focusing on def/resists.  

 

What are you leaning on to get there? Ice Armor doesn't pack any supportive regen boosting, and there really isn't a resource for that in the Melee sets, I could see the inclusion of Physical Perfection adding a bit, and there are a couple of Regen boosting IO's, but unless you really sacrificed all your slotting towards Regen bonuses, I'm not capturing what got you to 600%.

 

It is possible to make Regen a survival tool, but it typically needs a support heal to patch in between which Ice lacks. Generally when you look to build up an armor set you want to start focusing on its primary function (either Defense or Resistance) and then once that it covered, moved to the next item (the opposite of what you started with), before looking at the possibility of packing in any further HP/Regen into a build.

Melee Core Incarnate, most likely.  Raises my Ice/Stone Melee from 196% to 482% (with one mob).  Saturated (with 10) it's 615%...

Has to be. My Wp/Staff tank only regens 799% with just 1 mob fueling RttC, with NO incarnate powers. 

 

 This has always been a gripe of mine....someone will post a build and be all like "I finally got capped Defenses AND resists!" When come to find out, they've got an Accolade power (or 2) turned on, along with Rune of Protection and lord knows what else. When I build my tanks, I build them with all "sliders" set to 1, and with no Incarnate powers turned on, or any "gimmick" powers turned on. Way I see it, you can't ALWAYS have your Incarnate powers on, RoP always on, etc etc. I want to see what my baseline is. THEN I can try to improve with slotting/IO set bonuses. And finally look at Incarnates and whatnot, just as icing on the cake or for an "oh $#@! moment".

Ok what I focused on what sets that offer regen/end/+hp.  To be clear I never claimed I had maxed out def/res.  To the contrary they are most likely suffering.  Once I get home I will post the build with the regen.

 

 I'm not saying that you said "I have capped defenses/resists". Perhaps you misunderstood me. My gripe is that a lot of folks will post a build claiming it's the best thing since sliced bread. Only to find out when you open their build, they have every "slider" (Invulnerability, RttC, etc) turned all the way up, have BU/Gaussian's Proc activated, every incarnate power turned on, etc etc. And continue to claim that it's the best build. As I said, when I build mine, I have "sliders" turned to 1, no BU/Gaussian's proc enabled, no temp/incarnate powers turned on, etc etc. In my opinion, this is more accurate to how the toon will perform....because you can't ALWAYS have all your temp powers/incarnate powers activated, etc etc. Now...I'll get off that high horse....

 

  If you truly have a regen rate of over 600% (with no temp/incarnate/etc), then I am genuinely intrigued. My WP/Staff tank (which I focused on max HP/+Regen), only regens 799% with just 1 mob in range of RttC. I'd like to see that build.

I totally understand where your coming from.  And I will double check.  When I use mids I am constantly going back and forth messing around to see what kind of numbers I get for kicks and giggles.  I team mostly and usually I am not too concerned about min/max.   No ill will or shade thrown.  Im sure there was something on or in effect that I didn't account for.  

 

That being said, I guess my question was do I go for regen and neglect def/res?

One of my mains is a Ice/Ice/Ice tanker, so I may have different sets slotted since I did not go Physical Perfection

 

I focused on defense first

Healing second

Regen third

 

Will have to recheck in mids ...been going thru a bit of altitis

Ok, here is my build.  I have played around with many options.  It seems grabbing def is the most difficult.  I believe everything is turned off that would skew the numbers.

Admittedly, I've only played TW once. And hated it. It just felt too slow for me.

 

Anyway...those are some good numbers.  I threw this build together fairly quickly.

Ah, kay, now we see! Getting defense into Ice Armor isn't tricky, it actually has several different paths that are very flexible you can take advantage of.

 

Here is an Ice/Stone build for you to work off of, it should allow you to translate your build pretty much one-to-one for the Melee set, and you'll be freely flexible to choose an Epic. Ice doesn't need extra padding from Physical Perfection, so get something else with merit like some control to help manage the field. I noticed you grabbed Infiltration, stealth isn't exactly a good power for Tankers since it's counter intuitive to Gauntlet; you're a threat magnet!

 

The best focus for Ice is getting Smashing, Lethal, Energy, and Negative defense up, maybe pad your psionic resistance if you've got the inclination. You'll have impregnable cold resistance so no need to really worry about cold defense, leaving fire you're really only major "weakness", but there's not much you'll face in the game that's exclusively fire so this isn't such a big deal. Energy Absorption can double stack, and can hit 10 targets each time making it possible for you to pad your fire defense well enough anyway, plus any floating team buffs, meaning this won't ever really be a concern.
