I ran Hephaestus's first two min-arcs last night. They were great fun and I loved the writing. (I'm looking forward to more of Bruce Harlick's work.)

I did run into one issue though. The AV that appears in the first arc was much, much harder to handle than I'm used to. (I won't say who the AV is for fear of spoiling someone.)

This could have been a quirk of the team make up of course. We had a Lvl 50 Psy/MM blaster and a Lvl 50 Rad/Rad defender on Invincible. I'm sure a decent sized team (say 4+ players) would have had little real trouble but it was hard going for the 2 of us.

Did anyone else find this AV to be unusually tough or was it just me?

I've noticed a couple of minor issues with the recipe window.

1) The minimum width has increased by about 50%. This makes trading and crafting rather fiddly. The reason is that I can't have the Wentworths, recipes and salvage windows open at the same time without them overlapping.

2) If you are on the "All" tab in the recipe window, change the selections and then close the window then the selections return to the default when you re-open the window.

Please can we return to the old behaviour.

I'd forgotten about the debuffs. Thanks for reminding me.

Just to be different, my Lvl 50 Psychic blaster has this slotted with Efficacy Adaptor EndMod/Acc/Rech and EndMod/Rech.

I chose this slotting because Drain Psyche isn't very useful for me. For one thing, I usually duo this toon with a heal heavy Defender so I don't really need the health. Secondly, I don't run short of endurance very often unless I'm in big fights. e.g. invasions.

DP is very short range. I can't use it without running into a group of mobs. When I'm duo'ing, the mobs will all be aggro'd on me making the manoeuvre horribly unhealthy.

In short, it just isn't worth many slots in my situation.

Of course, if I regularly duo'd with a tank or controller, or spent a lot of time on big raids I might change it.

Thanks. I feel very heroic now. :~)

ToTing was a great laugh last night. The Lvl 50 was just the icing on the cake. Thanks all.
