Technically you could use 18 - 6 for all three builds. But yes, it sucks.

They are currently Character Bound (the Catalysts, not the ATOs) and would only become Account Bound at BEST.

To the OP: If you have a level 50 character who would like to upgrade an ATO to a Superior Version, claim the Catalyst and enter your enhancement window and select a slotted ATO (much like how you select a slotted SO for combining) and select the Enhancement Catalyst, which will appear on the left-hand side of your screen.

IMPORTANT: After upgrading an ATO, it will be account-bound and cannot be sold. From what I understand, you CAN Email the enhancement to yourself, but not others. In addition, Superior ATOs cannot be slotted by characters below level 50 (or non matching ATs, obviously).

Splitting? I figure the multiplayer aspect will be a significant factor, so I'll be focusing mostly on that - that's why I decided to pre-order rather than wait for a price drop like last time.

Then in that case - Oh Noes! Mass Effect 3!

When it came out people were screaming how Regen Stalkers could have 50% Uptime between MoG and Shadow Meld...

Completely glossing over the fact that between them, that's almost 1/5 of their time used by casting these powers.

loldps

Worth noting that 3 of those 15 seconds are spent activating the power - meaning that you only have 12 seconds left after activation.

What, like the level 14 Coralax Blue Hybrid in Grandville?

This - I only use Windfalls for Shard/Threads and inf - so I use them on Steamroll ITFs and Undergrounds (and sometimes Apex/Tin Mages). Any Salvage or Recipes are just a bonus.

Agreed - that WAS a great joke.

I used to play villains on infinity but I found that it was actually MORE dead when I played (which tended to be later in the evening) so I ended up coming back to Liberty. I'll be moving one toon to Freedom for lolPVP purposes once I get him sufficiently incarnated.

Pretty much the reason I've been on a Melee/Veat/Dom bender until recently - my Blaster surged back to the front of my played characters since he has a full attack chain WHILE mezzed, my Defender can floor most mobs tohit, and my Controller has a small army of pets to draw aggro away.

And my Bats/Tarps, which I will get to 50... soon.

If a mob has +100% Accuracy they will ALWAYS have a tohit of 10% or greater. If a mob has +100% ToHit I can still reduce them to 5% by popping Overload and Demonic Aura simultaneously (+100% Defense to the basic 6). Accuracy will always result in me getting hit more - it's basically akin to a -maxresistance debuff reducing a Tankers resistance cap from 90% to 85%.

In short - I'm really tired of being one-shotted by a Vicky when Anti-Matter could barely harm me by comparison (one-shotting in this case is one thousand cuts dot over 2 seconds that I can't respond to in time).

But then isn't +Accuracy essentially a small amount of unresistable damage for a defense based user? Why is it completely fair to give accuracy to mobs with no way to counter them, but unresistable damage is so heavily frowned upon?

What I meant by "ANY buffs whatsoever" was prior to I13 (No Heal in Energy Drain, no Energize, no Defense in Energy Drain - the way /EA was in i6, essentially). IOs most definitely allowed.

Explosions? Please say lots of explosions.

Pleeeeeaaaaaassssseeeee.

I actually missed that the first time - Regen is always more useful than +HP (Name a circumstance where +HP will matter and I'll revise that statement).

Well when you say purples do you mean any purples? Damage Purples? Purples after the rebalancing? I'd say the most valuable ATOs (Brute mostly, but also Scrapper/Blaster/Corruptor) would be hovering about 500 m each, with some of the lower valued ones going for 250-400 million (bear in mind that pulling a Defender's Bastion IO would lead many to use converters rather than post).

The market effect these are going to have will be interesting, to say the least.
