DCUO: In-Depth Ice Might DPS Guide 2023

[@HalvardGaming]

I know this video is a bit long but I wanted to make sure I truly cover everything and explain why each power is on the loadout, the art swapping, etc., just so theres no possible confusion But fr let me know what numbers yall get with your own loadouts

[@HalvardGaming]

And thats very strong, but also a few things to consider here 1.) In content, your DoTs won't be given infinite time to stay on like they can on sparring targets. The adds will die and you'll have to spend time resetting them and that'll slow you down 2.) Nature as it sits right now has Ivy, which is a raw 40% Might Buff with her max stacks. In this video I discuss how I could get 450-460k base, and Ice doesn't have that 40% from Ivy that Nature does, but it's doing the same damage, which is just nuts. But as it sits RIGHT NOW, Nature does have access to Ivy while other powers don't have their allies yet so, that's +1 to Nature there

[@covenant1384]

Die Eir, best ice in the game @400sp

[@hurmorrolig]

what mods you put in your gear?

[@pdg90]

With no finisher in this Loadout, I can’t make it pass 2 rotations w/o needing power. You have an AoE Loadout with a finisher?

[@oTioAlan]

Nice! Waiting for a in-depth ice tank/precision dps guides. Thanks!

[@DruidsCalling]

Thank you so much. I haven't played since the days where orbit and smileb4death were the most popular..and ice was on top. Good times

[@123Ryll]

Holy cast times batman. Drop freezing breath for Ice Bash. Clip Tempest with Ice Bash, Cold Snap and then do your swaps on Arctic Gust spam.

[@boepressha8859]

Pretty fun loadout ‼️

[@Tegawe]

Fuckin insane man. I got 3m ST damage parser on fire ST buffed up with neo venom and my trinket. That's with strat at 140, trans at 160, and grim at 160. I had no idea about the dead king swap until now. I do add weapon tips inbetween attacks and I also use the martial arts range tap hold at the end of my rotation for to proc strat

[@wbebra12]

best loadout to me, thank you for this vid!!!

[@boepressha8859]

Amazing vid ‼️💪🏽

[@EpsyWarrior]

I am legit mesmerized by the cold at your feet. I wonder how you get that?? I seem to only see Lightning ⚡ at my feed for speed and not cold ❄️.

[@jasonjohns5879]

Resonating gale also does frostbite

[@CaptainHiroWolf]

EOG is Eye of Gemini

[@alexvava1689]

3.3 base ice prec Highest i managed was when i was earth and used entomb and i had eog, 5.6 now i run grim, might go venom All this on 10 sec parcel, 160 arts

[@Shadow497]

Only difference is 1% might not necessary a big difference it's the amount of power that really changes

[@HelperKaiGlenn]

@HalvardGaming Ebon vs quislet what's better for passive damage?

[@HelperKaiGlenn]

Would dead king's scepter be good on Nature might?

[@gustavovasconcellos249]

what's your outfit?

[@ThatBoyLegion]

What fit are you rockin?

[@hank2948]

So even if you dont see the DKS beam it pops? Sometimes I dont think it does, at least not with non-channeling abilities

[@toxicfo7356]

rq whould I swing deep freeze with this specific load out work?

[@Javion15]

What’s the ice elemental loadout ?

[@xDPSx]

On ST im doing 250-300k on AOE im doing 400-500k base

[@Matt-yj1lz]

So frost breath is stronger than frost blast?

[@MoayadAlmwalad]

How can i spam ice elemental ?

[@DannyIceveins]

How did you make your super speed like that?

[@alexvava1689]

Prec loadout gonna appear soon? xD

[@Rei_Tatekei]

Does Dead King swap only work with channeled powers and Ebon/Lernaea or can you swap with like Trans or Strat? Also maybe put Snow Devil for that extra ST slot

[@HalvardGaming]

A few things: 1.) Putting things in that single target slot really REALLY slow you down. Any ability that Ice has to throw in there, will terribly slow down your parser and you'll net overall less damage. The only reason I suggest Godwave in the video is because that would make your trinket pet and robot sidekick go crazy and it would be worth, but only then. 2.) Swapping works with any power, any ability, channel or not, but channel powers are much much easier to get the swap done with. You don't wanna swap with strat because for some reason, equipping strat plays an animation and it instantly shuts off any channel power you have going. You could swap trans if you wanted but having trans on when your orbital assistance hits is gonna help it crit more, and that critting does a ton of extra damage. If you use Ebon's for the swap then you don't really suffer any negatives at all, whereas with Trans you still could

[@__Don__94]

I could be wrong, but i think strat is prec based. Dks is might based

[@HalvardGaming]

I'm like 80% sure its might based but I've also never tested it, but I will later to be sure

[@feelingdeadly1043]

Yeah strat is 100 percent precision based

[@HalvardGaming]

This is good to know, appreciate you fellas

[@HalvardGaming]

So, amendment to this. I actually just extensively tested it and neither Might nor Precision affected it at all. I actually went to spec full Precision and test it and had instances where the Strat tics were even weaker lmao I think you may have thought it's Prec based because it's a white number, but that's not the case. Its affected by nothing, completely even on either side.

[@georgeroome7880]

You said this art swapping works for all powers? Also awesome vid, Ty

[@HalvardGaming]

Yes it works with every power. There isn't a single power that can't art swap. Its much much easier to art swap with channel abilities, so some powers will have a much easier time performing swaps than others, but every power can in fact art swap. Also thanks king, glad I could help

[@pennthoughts]

That art swap is some bullshit i will forever feel this way until they change it im sorry just my thoughts

[@notbonez8321]

Would wintery tempest not be good for the empty slot on ST just for the free dot?

[@HalvardGaming]

The issue is, it takes about 1.5 seconds to actually throw WT due to the animation. Just that little bit of wasted time, despite the damage gain from the ability, overall nets you less damage per 10 seconds because of the time difference. But there could be instances where it could help. Avalanche is on the single target loadout, meaning your ST has some slight AoE if a boss calls out adds. WT + Avalanche could really help if the boss calls out like a ton of adds, at that point it would help more than it hurts, but its incredibly situational. But for PURE ST, just not using it is better.

[@notbonez8321]

@HALVARD ah ok makes sense. I figured as much for boss with adds but not for pure single.

[@pixeltears9069]

i do 5-6 mil with nature on aoe with 0 buffs 0 nothing :)

[@stiles5621]

Yeah but If U Play with a good grp U dont get to get Ur buffs ticking for Like 40sec useally Like 10sec so Nature is good on Long Term But Not AS good on short Term

[@flashtextwrldd8274]

83 mil 17 secs

[@drowzy.y]

What did you do to get to cr414 fast?

[@imactivated6841]

It’s not a fast job it takes time to grind since most of the gear will be elite. You need to max out majority of your renown for latest elite and get a lot of meta clinics. The only way you can really do that is spamming latest raids with replay badges and fearsome 5. The best time for grinding was when the bonus meta clinic came out last week. You could farm a lot of clinics for the elite gear you plan on buying

[@ChrisChillix]

what material is that all black ?

[@cire.godsent9470]

Void

[@nicksandz3209]

Eog users on suicide watch eoght now

[@HalvardGaming]

@tacoman553 Brother I don't even play DC anymore but at the time I'd been playing for 9 years. 532 SP in 9 years is NOT that much when there are over 1,000 SP now LMAO

[@Hudsonvanlife]
