Hi everyone,
I'm playing a Bane Spider who is near level 40 and i'm considering on taking the Mace Mastery PPP but something bothers me a little with this matter.I think that some of the Mace PPP's powers like Mace Blast or Disruptor Blast are the same ones(effect-wise)with the powers i have allready from my Bane Spider powerset like Mce Beam or Mace Beam Blast.Can anyone confirm that?Because if this really occurs then i might be considering on taking another PPP(though highly unlikely).
Anyway,thanks in advance for any responce

Hi guys,i'm new around here(first post)and i'm also new to the game.I've been playing for a month or so and have 3 characters up to level 25 until now and i have a simple question to make: Is there any way for a level 1 character to acquire any Vangauard Merits?Yes i know that you have to be at least level 35 and undertake some missions in the Rikti War Zone to earn them but Paragon Wiki indicates that the Vanguard costume set is craftable from level 1.But i also read somewhere else that Vanguard Merits can't be given from one player to another.So what gives?
Thanks in advance for any responce i get.Really happy to be a member of these boards!CU around...
