Got lucky by getting two very rares during trials. One I bought with rares and that ridiculous $400 mil price, and got the last emp merit I needed today for the final one. All 5 incarnate powers are now tier 4. I can only imagine the next 5 taking even longer, especially Omega.

Are we talking a range of say... the same as FFG?

I was going to say a fire/dark corruptor but since you do not want fire blast, maybe rad blast.

I don't know if I would ever recommend a build based solely on Incarnate powers. I think the sets are fairly even but on brutes the extra end recovery is pretty delicious while leveling. Auroxis is exactly correct.

Just want to say how refreshing the OP was. For MMs mine is thugs/traps but for my main, nothing even comes close to my fire/fire scrapper. It just 'clicked' and I should check sometime how many hours I have wasted playing that character.

In all 7+ years, I have never played any other character more, made on the first day that Issue 12 hit, and the first character I ever decided to purple out and spend billions on.

That character is a problem on the BAF, because whatever team I am on massively overtakes the other when it comes to the final phase, so much so that I have been put on the adds team intentionally from leaders that saw my character's performance on previous days, and I am not saying that to brag - it just makes me feel good to know that all my playing has paid off.

To the OP I say 'congrats' because there is nothing else like finding that particular character that makes you ignore your alts.

Yeah, it's not like Devices where you get a stealth power to let you toe bomb.

I vote either the Widow/Fortunata or the Traps/Sonic.

EDIT: matter of fact you are making me think about a traps/sonic too. That sounds pretty fun.

No, not really, they can make changes to particular powers if need be. Are auras treated as pets just like rains are?

I have been playing my lowbies more often since I only need one more very rare before I have tier 4 in everything for my main.

The devs like to get masterminds in the middle of things so you face proper risk, so I don't know if they would go for a ranged version or not.

Let me know what you want updated in the original post on this issue.

1. Darkness powers - feel free to come up with anything. All of the darkness sets look dated. Dark armor looks prettttty good out of all the darkness powers except for maybe Cloak of Darkness.

2. Speed pool - yikes. Whirlwind looks good though, that one can be left as-is. I think making Super Speed like Synapse's blur would be a great start. Hasten - how about an initial 'burst' effect followed by a RED colored animation that matches how end recovery and drain powers look - like a set of dots that spin around your body once in awhile.

3. Another vote for weapon auras. That should take less time than making a new weapon model and then have to add fx just for that weapon across all sets in the long run, but I could be wrong.

This may be an animation request instead of VFX: alternate ways of seeing PBAOEs for melee classes - I can't be the only one that dislikes the jump-and-spin-hitting-the-ground all the time. Feel free to do anything with that.

Updated the original post with it.

Chiming in here, I know I got a couple of questions answered and made a couple people laugh. I thought Tunnel Rat's topics were really interesting.

I really loved hearing what ATs they liked best. I'm with Melissa - defenders are my favorite AT even though I main a scrapper.

Exactly. I am working on a spines/fire here and there who is in his mid 20s who can't wait to get to reactive.

Is it Lobo?

Also, I find it amusing CBSNews posted this.

...I mean Marvel, DC, Image, etc....
