Fiery-Enforcer

I'm curious, what melee attacks were used? All my Corrs only have Brawl, Boxing, and Sand of Mu (which couldn't be used).

I didn't save the numbers, but it wasn't anything major, something like 10 or 12 DPS difference.

Flares certainly isn't needed, but if you have it I would use it. Can also substitute Fireball for Flares when it's up since it does a little more damage.

Edit:

Musculature is good if you don't need the recharge, I have a t3 slotted on my Fire/Rad and it bumps my attacks up to 120% damage after ED. I went ranged defense with mine so unfortunately I'm missing out on the nice damage procs in favor of slotting Thunderstrikes.

Which has an even lower DPS than the 2 attack chains I listed.

Depending how much recharge you have will factor in to what attack chain you'll run. What chain are you running where you use Fire Blast more than Blaze? I'm assuming something like Blaze > FB > Flares > FB.

If you're running that chain seamlessly, it takes 5.28s to animate for about 150 DPS.

If you have enough recharge for Blaze > FB > Flares, then that's the way to go. It takes 3.828s to animate for about 155 DPS.

I'm doing these calculations with 98% damage enhancement in each attack and not factoring in Scourge. If I put the Apoc proc in Fire Blast in the first attack chain, it bumps up the DPS to about 163. Now, if I put the proc in Blaze in the other attack chain, the DPS bumps up to about 164.

So, for all around play, having the Apoc proc in Blaze is the best bet.

I really doubt that's going to happen, especially if there are still specific rewards tied to them. Unless you're saying it's quite difficult to find a team to do a STF.

Yeah, they really need to let threads drop elsewhere while leaving the trials as the fastest option.

Yep, 6 RoF's was fun. AV's dropped really fast once Scourge kicked in.

The fact is that if you're running the trials multiple times, it is a grind. Now, whether or not you enjoy the grind is another question. I have two t3's and one t2 slotted up and overall have been enjoying myself.

I do think the incarnate trials should be the fastest way to gain incarnate powers/rewards, it makes sense. However, compared to how the alpha slot was setup, I do believe they took a step backwards. There are 4 times the incarnate slots and way less content to do in order to get these new slots in a reasonable amount of time. I think adding the option for threads to drop in regular content at a reduced rate will go a long way.

Those people are still spending a lot more time doing the trials than everyone else. Some people will spread 18 hours of play throughout a week or however long, while some others may spend 18 hours playing in one day. See the difference?

They'll make more of a difference once people get the other level shifts. Also, the Judgement nukes aren't effected by damage buffs, but you can do more damage with them from resistance debuffs.

I love it on my Fire/Rad for that reason, drop EF before I use it.

What does this have to do with the issue being rushed and buggy? It was probably something minor if there weren't any patch notes.

I personally haven't had any connection issues, but I know some are and that sucks if it's messing up the trials for you.

Just because some people think the trials are too difficult doesn't mean there was a lack of communication during testing.

So? I ran both of them and they seemed fine to me.

I do think they should allow threads to drop in at least all lvl 50 content, at a reduced rate compared to the trials. This would allow people who don't want to run the trials to progress easier.

This. The trials really aren't as difficult as people think they are, it's just that it's new and most people don't know what the hell to do in them.

I ran 5 trials on my Fire/Rad Corr, one failed and I only died ONCE. And that death was on the first Lambda trial I ran, someone triggered the third phase by going down the elevator before I got done explaining what needs to be done, so everyone was all over the place with a race against the clock. At one point it was just me and a Blaster taking out containment chambers and we actually destroyed a bunch of them by ourselves until I eventually ran out of inspirations and died.

Out of the 3 Lambda runs I did, I got about 85% incarnate xp towards interface. That was with not clearing all the mobs on the outside and skipping the mobs in the inside, so I could have easily unlocked the slot and then some by killing more.

Now, I only did one successful BAF where I got around 25% incarnate xp towards Judgement. I spent the 65 mil to buy the rest of the incarnate xp for both slots and I had enough threads/shards/astral merits/emp merits to get the needed components to craft the slots.
