    One of my main characters is a brute. SS/FA to be exact. The one thing he loves smashing more than Nemesis is Fire based enemies. Naturally, when Going Rogue came out I took him to Hero side to grab the demon farm. Thus began my problems.

    When you switch sides your arcs don't get closed. In order to even be able to talk to Harvey Maylor I had to go do an RWZ arc because it was the only old arc I could still access.

    So I got my farm and all was fine.

    Now comes the Incarnate content, a new arc! I'd love to do it and in fact have done it on like 6 characters so far! But no, Mender Ramiel still sees my old villain arcs open. Arcs I can't close without going full circle again.

    Stop hating my past and just give me the arc!

    Eh all the ones I'm seeing have anniversary badges dating back years. People pulling out their true 'main' characters.

    And holy crap, this is the worst arc I've ever played. How do I stab it out of my memory?
    Never tried Hardcase's arc have you?

    Fake Nems do not have phasing, they have personal field generator, so you generally don't hit them, although if you do they take nil for damage...



    They need to rework the coding for phasing.
    1) Phased critters should not be strikable
    2) Phased toons should be able to hit phased critters
    3) Phasing needs to be the tier 3 not the tier 4 pool power.
    I'm fairly sure they did #2 some time ago.

    I don't think I've ever done this arc. I just hop up to the top of the thing in the middle of ouro and grab the explore badge.

    (Particularly with a bug that, when you delete certain temp powers, causes the first slot in the tray to be deleted instead of the slot clicked. Hint, hint, hint, devs)

    I'd still go with a "partial respec" that you could buy at the Market maybe, or as a recipe, which allows you to unlock 10 or 20 Enhancements so you can drag them back to the tray instead of the trash. Or even move them around from power to power, or even slot to slot in the same power. (I'm mentioned before that I'm obsessive compulsive, and like to have my Enhancements in a strict order in a power. First Acc, then End, then Dam, etc...)
    I slot IOs in the exact order the set lists them that way I can tell at a glance which I'm missing.

    I too noticed that on my healer my accuracy seemed much lower after the last level cap raise. Especially when farming the AE.

    ^This is another example of things we don't talk about

It'd also free up a lot of your 6.25% rech bonuses, allowing you much more build flexibility with higher gains.

    Anyway, on to the build. I'm not sure even with the Cardiac and DC you're going to be okay on endurance. All of your end-heavy powers (your AoEs, mostly) barely have any end rdx.

    I'd get some more accuracy in the Dark Servant, 43% isn't really enough to hit higher level stuff since you don't have any -def.

    Could you explain the slotting on Howling Twilight? It seems sorta frankenslotted but the recharge (imo the most important stat) isn't maxed and you've selected IOs that give acc but HT is autohit.

    I'd go with a Stun instead of a recharge in Soul Transfer. Your global rech and Hasten should be more than enough to have it up any time you need it. The extra few seconds of stun when you're getting back on your feet will be more useful than having it recharge ASAP.

    Other than that, the build looks very solid
    A) Because people tend to ask budget.
    B)Will look into it
    C) HT slotting-- I'd love to explain it; I forgot HT is auto hit.
    D) Endurance-- Will look into it.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Ok maybe when the I19 prices for purples settle down I'll buy them. They've begun to crash.

    As always, I can afford basically anything I just choose not to spend the moneys on purples and/or PvP IOs. This is my new Fire/Dark/Dark's build I figured Soul Drain would be fun but I haven't actually tried it yet.
    I built for recharge and was annoyed to find that most of the sets I want all have the 6.25% recharge so at the beginning before revision I had 8 of those, 3 over the rule of 5 cap.
    This revision is a result of whacking the extra bonuses out.

    A Publish implies a patch of some sort. They don't publish things that haven't been tested. All three available test servers have i19.'

    Is there a reason why residents outside of America, Canada and the EU cant enter these kinds of competitions?

    I know Australia is very far away but there are no postage & handling costs as the prizes are all electronic.

    And yes I saw that some parts of America are also excluded ("Ooohhhh say can you see" - no im in RI so for some reason I cant).
    Because NCSOFT doesn't want to mess with other countries' contest laws.
