    I believe it will enhance all of them. +HP, +Regen, and +Heal.

    Let me double check on that.

    He's a very helpful fellow, but not a developer.
  3. I'm "official" too.

    Officially posting too much screenshots when there are new costume pieces added to the game.

    The good news is, you've got next weekend, the weekend after that, and so on and so forth.
  6. Later today, tomorrow, or after Thanksgiving - I don't mind either way. I got Succubus Kali's IOs after midnight and crafted them all. I am officially ready for I19!
  7. Punch or kick? Or punch and kick? Which do you like?
  8. All around good for PvE - Dark Melee.

    I think that getting Perma-Instant Healing is impossible due to the Recharge cap. I remember hearing that to get Instant Healing with 100% uptime would require some ridiculous amount of Recharge.

    Max scrapper dps

    I wonder how greatly (or not-so-greatly) the Alpha powers are going to increase the DPS of the top performers. Hrm...

    And after that, I still continue to run such activities. It is profoundly easy for me to have fun at level 50 for most, if not all of my current play-time session. I'm always running these high level TFs with my buddies. Don't be so narrow-minded about it, Pinny. It's obvious that folks always ran all of those TFs for Merits, Vanguard Merits, and Hami-Os. Why would my 50's suddenly stop doing that when I get my desired Alpha powers? Hell, I don't even have to stop gathering Incarnate components, because I would still be saving up towards the Rare and Very Rare boosts. Which I want. Badly.

    That said, I've never had any problems with exemplaring my builds, which are only tailored for level 50 play. I have never made myself a leveling-build, or a build that still retains most of the set bonuses when exemplaring down. My characters are built well enough that without set bonuses they still dominate the battlefield on lower level content.

    Oh! Yeah, I forgot about that mauk2! I've been running level 50 Tips as well, getting Hero Merits for several of my level 50 characters. They have been very profitable thus far.

    And how often do you exemplar below 50? All this gossiping is about the perfect scenario where you never exemplar down.
    Well, the content you run that gives you the Incarnate components does not require any exemplaring. Lady Gray TF, Reichsman TF, Statesman TF, Hamidon Raid, Rikti Mothership Raid, Imperious TF, Cathedral of Pain Trial, Apex TF, Tin Mage TF - all of these can be run at level 50. So if you're specifically gunning for Incarnate components, you'll never have to exemplar yourself at all.

    I know for my Fire/Fire I will be picking a Recharge/Heal boost.
  14. I've never picked Touch of Fear, and in my I19 build I ended up still hurting for slots and power picks.

    I do have Char for that build though, which does have some range to it. Could be handy-dandy.

    Holy smokes. From a 89.9% Recharge to a 108.2%! Now that is just incredible!

    Can you imagine how the Very Rare Alpha powers would affect your characters? Those ignore 2/3 of ED!

    Alpha Slot Info

    Changing builds has a 15 (am I correct?) minute cooldown, while putting in the Alpha power you've just removed is only a 5 minute cooldown.

    Alpha Slot Info

    For the uncommon Spiritual Radial boost, the info tab basically says
    22% Enhanced Recharge and Healing.
    11% Enhanced Recharge and Healing. Ignores ED.
  18. Between the two I'd choose Dark Melee. Siphon Life alone makes the set for me; a great attack and heal all in one.

    [Edit] Don't forget to consider the upcoming Alpha powers. On the I19 beta my Spiritual Radial boost is healing my character (and recharging faster) for 240HP vs the 196HP on the live servers. A 46HP difference is huge. Both builds are identical.
  19. Good on you for helping the new players!

    The first one at the moment.
  21. Good grief. How are you not filthy stinking rich after all of these years? I don't even farm for stuff and yet I have a character build that is worth more than 4 billion Inf.

    Do you even run TFs? What about Hero/Villain Tips? Yeesh!

    Been playing Succubus Kali for a while with the Spiritual Radial boost. Compared to the Pinnacle version, of which has the same build, there has been a huge increase in survivability as well as damage. The difference is definitely enough for me to notice.
