ill also agree that it depends on your build and how you want to use the character, technically you could skip most ALL of your primary except for the one your forced to take at lvl 1 lol (there are poeple who do that too for extra challenge)

on my street justice/regen brute i am planning on skipping heavy blow and possibly taunt (he will be a very scrapperish brute)

my combo builder chain is initial strike, rib cracker, shin breaker since the rech on the powers base is 4 sec, 6 sec and 8 sec respectively

while rib cracker by itself is not a huge debuff, you can add an achilles proc to shin breaker which you could do a total of 27.5% resist debuff, if you have enough rech you could get the rib cracker debuff to stack

well it is a little grindy, which is why i dont participate in trials all the time now, i mostly tfs and other non trial stuff and just convert shards when convenient

currently i have 2 pools of 50s, those which have alphas slotted up to tier 4 and those which are not alpha to tier 4, once they are alpha to tier 4 i start taking them on incarnate trials to work on other slots, before i do that though i usually convert extra shards to threads and then do threads to xp to help unlock the slot faster

the more you run the trials however the faster you will unlock upper tier incarnates (my main has had to run all the trials quite a bit for badges and atm he has a tier 4 alpha, tier 4 judgement, tier 4 interface, tier 4 destiny, and 5 tier 4 lores), most of my other toons which casually run the trials when i feel like doing them have tier 4 alphas, and then usually get up to at least tier 3 in the non alpha slots

how i read that the tier 2 power does +strength to effect which is what powerboost says, the tier 4 however reads as just a straight buff

in any case i would never use this for any reason, yes some powers are annoying with kb, but thats why they are skippable or usable as set mules, and also i would NEVER take something that debuffs self

we already have earth, fire, and air based sets, technically ice IS just frozen water

a majority of the reason a water based anything has not been introduced would be coding limitations as well as having to significantly increase the min requirements of the game if it ever got added which would kick the playerbase which as min spec computers in the shins

you have to claim the certificate for it in the email menu like you do vet powers in order to have it available in the tailor

very annoying that it doesnt automatically unlock for account

it depends on how patient you are and how many trials you run lol

doing it entirely with shards to threads then making everything from that will take a VERY long time and be VERY expensive

doing only trials you can get away with not spending a single inf if you save up emps for rare/very rare components that you dont get on trials

i personally only throw inf to convert shards to threads and convert threads to xp which is ~50-100 mil per toon

i got my PP today as well, billing date 25th

Zwil, wouldnt this be so much easier to do and just award server transfers, PP, and tokens all at the same time say at the beginning of each month?

it seems way overcomplicated to award transfers at beginning of month, PP on billing date (variable throughout month per person), and tokens at the end of the month. awarding everything at beginning of the month would also standardize the procedure and should help to simplify it

i love the dark blast set on a blaster, dark manip is ok but not my style, i currently have a dark/energy blaster though thats pretty sweet

zombie invasions can be spawned by running katie hannon or virgil tarikoss tfs, the zone it happens in is random though so it could be hero, could be villain, could be praetorian

there is also a small chance one will happen when halloween salvage is turned in

both of these can happen any time of the year

superior conditioning is auto power that grants a max end increase which can be enhanced, it starts at around 5% increase when enhanced can get around 9.5-10%

max end increase alternatively also increases end recovery since end recovery is a % of your end

i think originally brutes got this because they had energy aura for long time which used to have conserve power before revamp, and the epic pools were not supposed to have duplicate powers

as with others ive seen a increase on victory, definitly feels more lively

the general rule for target based things is that it starts at the targets center, which for large targets not much gets out of the character model

my earth/fire/fire is not bad for farming, can solo x6 diff pretty easy and even go up to x8

more options are always nice, i consider it the impatient "buy it nao" option for those who have the money to shell out for it but arent patient enough to wait for drops or earn inf to buy on market, or alignment merits/emp merits to buy directly

i personally would never buy IOs from the paragon market since i would rather buy things like powersets and costume pieces or other account wide functional items like increased storage

i dont see it being pay to win unless they were exclusive to the paragon market and could not be earned in game through any means
