That's the damage one right? And you're talking about your blaster?

Been debating what to do for each AT character; Scrappers and blasters or other generic "damage dealers" are more than ED-capped on Damage. And with IOs, just how much microseconds can I really shave off stuff? I'll probably be doing mostly the Cardiacs (end redux right?) with them for the hell of it.

Then there are the Trollers; with slotting, they can't really get more mez durations on 99% of what they use. A couple are pretty active where endurance becomes an issue, but I'm never without blues to pop. Most damage is done with the pets, but was looking over the stuff I spam on the fire/rad, and I could probably almost double my personal output with the damage slot. The fire/rad already burns through 6 - 8 man groups solo at a decent clip in relative safety; killing things a little faster is just laughable.

Accuracy is absolutely never an issue with anything I run. I hope that tier gets some major love coming up.

I'm at a complete loss with my MMs though. They already were Incarnate-level

You don't even try to hide your bi-polaresness anymore, do you?

Is that your visual representation of "You were right, Voodoo. Again"?

Yes, it shows up as regular values. I'd like to see the break down of how much you are actually getting from the Incarnate slotted; ie, already at 99% recharge (and in a different color) the recharge added to it from the Shard.

When I get the next tier going, it'll be easier to see the difference in green numbers for heals. Recharge is just a stubborn *****

Not sure I like that naming convention. I shall create something wholly different, useful, and more confusing to the lesser folk.

Wow you eat really early Have a good one.

The set-in-stone is in regard to you being adamant about having to shard up ALL your characters. I just don't think it's necessary. If it's something you WANT to do, that's fine, but it's not something being forced in-game.

I could have sworn I knew him from some kind of football function

I was genuinely sad that he probably won't ever be back on the show I totally want to see an entire episode with him and Casey on a mission together.

Shards from level 50 or higher mobs.

Your set-in-stone mentality of this is mind-boggling. I believe you have a text book case of OCD/control freakism.

Not going to speak for anyone else but me......but so what? It's not really my playstyle, hence the "I don't see a problem". I don't see this as a fundamental change to the way the game is played (ie IOs, ED, Troller changes, etc). At least not with I19. Almost everyone is going to be busy with the new shinies for some X amount of time, just like any other issue.

But for a group like Isolators, who go the distance together, from the beginning.......I don't think it'll effect it at all?

I guess I just don't see this....unless people REALLY feel like they HAVE to roid-out ALL their 50s? On top of respeccing every character they have?*

It may take a *little* longer to get shards doing the *regular* stuff that is still there, but it is doable (at least for I19, anything after this is anybody's guess). So if you feel like you have to roid-up everything you got, you really don't have to be pigeon-holed into just running the end-game TFs. Yes, it'd be faster, but it's not outside the realm of casual play.

And if you aren't interested in Incarnates and do want to still make new alts like there is no tomorrow, nothing has changed there.

And on top of all of that, you can still join a team doing the new TFs without doing the alpha slot; personally, a team shouldn't have more than 1 on the team like this, but with team buffs going and smart play, it really wouldn't be that much of a hindrance.

*Respecs suck, yes. But just because fitness went inherent (and hasten can't be far behind ), does not mean you have to respec every character you have. Personally, a lot of my characters are NOT going to be able to pick up any useful power (up to 3! My mains are already at the max of a lot of bonus stats even) to them if I go this route, and that's from the characters I still play actively. Time/effort versus payout is my main motivation.

I might be alone in thinking I wish they had started this path a long time ago. I would have rather focused on select few characters with some actual point to running them at their peak then getting bored and waiting, making random alts that I can't possibly have time to play with any significance. /2 cents

heh just now saw your post in general; I don't think I've been there more than twice in the past 2 months.

You were on top of things. But I was thinking of you

...... I see Penny in a whole new light I kind of know what she is talking about, but I never would have imagined this from her.

Kind of mentioned it before, but I think starting with the alignment merits, and now Incarnate slots, they are focusing heavily on the end-game from now until X issue with the last of the new slots. I know it's steered me from creating alts; I've played 1 non-50 character to 50 since I18 came out with any amount of real time on it and have only dabbled in Preatoria. With I19, it'll force me to focus on a very select few 50s and probably no new alts whatsoever, with only a minor dabbling on baby characters I started and didn't do anything with.

I can't say that's good or bad, but I imagine if you're heavy into making "new stuff", it'll probably put a damper on it and make the whole ordeal arduous/must-be-complete instead of something to look forward to.

I just hope there are NO MORE #!@$@#$!%@#$%@# exploration badges after this.

I thought you mentioned respeccing, but hopefully you've kept up with the patch note discussions regarding Khelds and respecs (and from how I'm reading it, just overall issues with Khelds and powers overall). I was thinking of you.

Don't think there is an issue with incarnate slots however.

......wow

You never cease to amuse me.

Chant.......have I got a deal for you!

Penny will pay you WHATEVER you want if you let us both in on that run.

GL / HF then
