As expected, there was some nerfage to my "invulnerable" tanker. At level
24, I found that versus Pantheon, my invincibility had dropped by around
one and a half level: Where I could safely solo whites with only one
toggle, I was now restricted to greens; blues required occasional use of
more toggles. Since this guy is one of the few left without the Fitness
pool, that means I can't use defense and attacks at the same time, so I'll
have to bring a blaster sidekick and stay in zones where she is allowed.
Was doing that much of the time anyway, but I kinda liked Dark Astoria. Oh
well. I'll respec to get the fitness pool now that I don't need the
presence pool anymore.
More problematic in the long run is the lowered framerate. The machine
with ATI 9800 SE card is now almost useless ... framerates of 1-5 in the
more popular zones. I'll have to get another card or specialize in
buffbot characters. It seems Cryptic Studios have assumed from the start
that people stick with nvidia, and have utterly neglected to optimize any
new code for the more common ATI graphics processors.
