can you see if it at least lets you queue for the skirmish without giving you an " insufficient stats error " .
The 2 pieces ( fully empowered ) should give you the required 20% black ice resistance ( like myself ) but it errors for me when I try to queue for the skirmish .
Please attempt to queue by yourself and see if it errors - if it does then it is likely a bug from when they changed it from requiring 4 pieces .
Great programming .......
Yes you need at least 20% black ice resistance , we are trying to figure out whether that means 2 or 3 peices of gear because it looks like they got something wrong in the entry requirements , the amount of gear is easy enough to obtain , you just need to farm mine a lot of black ice and process it to buy the pieces from the guy who sells the basic gear then enhance it.
Yes (only while in combat) in order to keep the maxed stats. Two levels of enhancement.
Yes but like niadan said only in combat so it isn't that difficult to keep topped up plus there are potions you can get that slow down how fast it degrades .
Sort of. Like naidan and others have said, it "wears out" but only in combat. Keeping it fully empowered is not gonna be an issue. I sometimes spend up 12 hours playing and so far just to top it off each day has been less then 200 Black Ice per item, and that is with letting it just drop to 94%. Before you lose a level of empowerment you have to drop below 75% or so.
I guess I need to to let it drop to next lower tier. Actually there are 3 tiers to the Black Ice Gear. Tier 1 the original that you craft, then tier 2 and 3 that you put black ice into to empower "charge up". Each tier last 8 hours of combat, which is a lot.
THe mining black ice to empower the gear will not be significant. The bottle neck will be mining and refining the black ice to make the set pieces. Don't let the little amount needed to empower it worry you. Heck you cannot even make a full set until you have done the dailies 35 times assuming you get lucky and get the very basic item needed as a drop.
There is black ice cloaks, and rings from the Skirmish. A kick *** artifact Beholder also drops there.
I am sure some of this could go to different posts, will do that later.
It is too early for me not finished my first cup of coffee.
Also you can buy 3 of the 4 set items for the armor and 1 of the 2 weapons. The gloves which you cannot buy, drop from several HE. Honestly I do not remember where main hand weapon drops when it was listed in the tool tips. You will have to do the skirmish to get the crafting asset to make your off hand as it only drops there.
One of the 2 rings is crafted, and not a drop.
Also empowering is instant, which I think is the right way to handle it, and not crafted.
And yes you can also get a yeti companion through questing.
High defense, deflect and lifesteal as well ArmP, Crit, and Power are very important in mod 3. I changed some boons, enchantments, and my armor around to accomplish this. I really do not struggle as an HR, yes I can easily solo all the 2-3 man HE, and usually the last die on the larger, and in most cases can keep kiting, and dps'ing while group is running their asses back to the encounters. I do not spare the use of potions either. So I would say since mod 3 I have become a very tanky, self healing HR. I am sure I could do some of the larger HE but for one thing the mobs have an insane amount HPs it takes too long to solo them since the events are timed and go poof if you go over the timer.
Also what I've personally done is empowered my items and still using my old gear around icewind unless I enter the skirmish so that I don't need to spend as much ice maintaining it while I get the rest of my pieces. My hv set isn't really letting me down.
