DCUO: Ice Tank Guide - Everything You Need to Know! 

You can also get the affinity mods for your generator from the R&D vendor in your base

@@Kiryu if they have that collection item yup certainly :)

@@ObsidianChill oh hey, I got the breakout trinket from a different vendor and apparently you can get it from some vendors that don't sell for source marks.

Q

thank you for the kind words

My friend and I ran a lot of duos he ran ice tank I ran nature heals at the time. We got reported for hacking a couple times because of my boys reflect. It was op plus he had a lot of sp. Good times man

@@youngreckless97 what really :O ! that is messed up

Right,I can remember when reflect did damage

I was gonna say the same

You always want your strongest ability as often as you can get it. Reflection won't save you in end tier content, its almost half as strong. The stun on circe's mask doesn't matter for bosses as much, you are just looking for the extra healing when the shield breaks. Prototype only procs when you are lower health but you aren't lower health that often as you are constantly shielded so most of the time it won't have any uptime. Ice battle tank doesn't exist, if you want to be an ice battle tank just dps normally and let someone else tank.

@@ObsidianChill Great answer, thankyou.

@@ObsidianChill Heh, yesterday I was in a Barbatos raid fight with a build where my only shield was Reflection, because A: while leveling I figured out you could get 100% uptime, and B: the game doesn't tell you how much shield it actually gives you on ANY shield ability. The Dominance stat description tell you how much it affects shield values... but the shield powers themselves have NO data on that. Also some games I'd played previously REPLACE shields so I was thinking that having multiples was redundant. But apparently they just stack in this game. Yeah, nothing in-game tells you that. Anyways I got my ass kicked pretty hard the first go we had at the boss. then I tweaked my setup to have both Reflection and Winter Ward and.. danng.... it was like I barely had any shield before, and now I had like 3x the shielding. guides like this one you made REALLY make a HUGE difference in playing the game.

Idk it’s dumb meanwhile mental can encase burn form change you name it to enemies smh

I think the issue is that the game as originally designed let any class play any role, and then they changed that to only 2 per class, while they still have those powers from before that don't make sense now.

if you want a consumable the only ranged stun consumable is Static Grenade, it is just a basic stun but it would at least be ranged

@@ObsidianChill thnx. Ill give it a try

ice ice baby

@@ObsidianChill 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I died. And I'm showing my age to this response.🤦‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

circes mask would impact all incoming heals so the heals from mystic would be included in that

@@ObsidianChill that’s great to here!! Ty

@@ObsidianChill related: does having multiple shields give a separate trigger for each shield break?

By not scaling, when you pop a shield you will get 500 health etc. 500 health when you have 250,000-400,000 health in content really isn't going to do anything at all :D even if it crits it wouldn't save you from a weapon tap from an npc and the healing you get from mystic would be considerably better than any procs.

@@ObsidianChill thank God we have people like you that dig down deep. Else we'd all be wasting so much in terms of sp, mods, arts, etc etc. Thx fam. Keep it up!

@@daCheezus yeah when I first started playing I thought Omegahedron was good... then realized it does nothing but give you energy and gives you almost no energy at high levels. *sadface* It's a neat thing to have for sentimental reasons... but not practical to actually USE. Same issue with a lot of stuff that says it gives you healing... the SCALE of healing isn't in the tooltip!!!!! I used to like the weapon one for healing you when you do weapon attacks... but... no actually it's super weak healing.

Correct

@@ObsidianChill I went a tad more I think like 200/111 I think. Guess I'll go bk and get a lil more health

they are certainly viable, the heal you get from rejuvenating escape is inconsequential and the type D mods are barely noticeable in practice. It's just equipping them just to equip them if you are full elite.

Rage

Rage

Its the best but definitely not the easiest

It's a PvP vendor thing. I don't think there IS one in HoL. Either the Hall of Doom or Watchtower PvP vendor

one of the hideout upgrades you need to upgrade to with source marks

Everything is still the same, circes mask and eog artifacts aren't needed you can run lazarus pit or refractor. Allies would have come out since this video as well

@@ObsidianChill thanks for the reply! I already ditched circe's mask for everyman.

this was a bug on test server, you can't get that many on live server

only in rare situations where you are overwelmed with adds and need the extra defense. The empress eyes Trigon First boss is an example

no, Winter Ward is the strongest now and Reflect is ok but weak

How come its better now? Thank you sir.

@@bertric23 during stats revamp, a time where devs re-adjusted abilities and stats they changed ice's shields. There really wasn't a good reason just they made reflect weaker and 12s cooldown and winterward strongest and 18s cooldown

@@ObsidianChill ah thank you man a very great help!

all dom, you don't worry about specing anything else until your dom is fully maxed out

Haha I commented on a couple other videos, it is a test server glitch, not on live server

I would say rage. As long as you cancel rage crash you are good to go
