• Why is Freezing Rain on a given AT better than Sleet on the same AT?
  • There are many similar issues, example some Protection powersets on Melee ATs having fewer armour toggles and lower End/s costs.
  • There can be arguments about other parts of the Storm Summoning and Cold Domination powersets balancing out Freezing Rain being better than Sleet.
    • Without going into details, I'd say Storm Summoning has powerful pets/pseudopets and more damage with the top-of-the-line -Res in one power.
    • And Cold Domination is better at direct Team support and has its -Res separated into 3 powers (who also have other effects).
    • Cold Domination also gets important powers like its stealth+def+res aura and -Res patch at later Levels, which is still painful when Exemplaring.
  • I'd say Storm Summoning is definitely better for solo play and could even be better for Team play, especially considered Exemplaring for WSTs.
  • So why does the better powerset get the better -Res patch?
• Why wasn't Sleet made exactly the same as Freezing Rain?  Even if this required reducing or removing the -Res from Benumb and Heat Loss.
  • -Res was moved around when Trick Arrow was changed (one of the best powersets rebalances ever).
• Why is Arctic Fog at a higher Tier than Steamy Mist?  Why is Sleet at a higher Tier than Freezing Rain?
  • We don't want all the differences between powersets all homogenized away.  But maybe some equalization could help.

 

It strikes me as extremely disingenuous to imply that Storm Summoning can even hold a candle to Cold Domination in the current environment, but maybe you’re just that lacking in experience.

 

Let’s remember that the 4* meta players are packing 3-4 Colds per team while Storm was referred to as an “active detriment” by the same players.

as 1 that hasn't played a /cold Corr I just want to put in my 2 cents. take from that what you will. I think it sucks that sleet got nerfed and understand why the players of it are either angry or just shrug their shoders and keep playing cos it will always be in demand regardless. that being side when my time/sonic defender was passed over for a 4star LGTF because they had too much corrs/defenders did I get mad? no, I rolled a cold/sonic defender that I plan to io out soon. nerfs/changes are always going to happen there is no way to fix that all we can do is roll with the punches. why not just make a sonic/cold corr to make up for the -res lost form the sleet nerf? it's not like lvling/ioing out toons is hard in this game.
