Any update on this from anyone? I'm still suffering from this bug.

Well a third trial is due out before i21 and the Devs have mentioned creating a solo/story path for incarnat experience as well.

You can also do BAF and use threads and astrals to unlock experience for your interface slot without running Lamda at all.

so you have options right now, and more will come in the future.

As far as your experience goes, I haven't had such problems with aggro on my blaster or dom. Typically spawns die so fast I can only get in one attack or at most two. Until we're at the final stage that is and all the adds keep coming in, but at that point I just stay at a distance and focus on Marauder so no worries.

I do recommend avoiding choking cloud as it won't really help much and there are a lot of AoEs if you get in close. Stay back and blast instead of focusing on control. Once you get the hang of the flow of combat mix in your debuffs and controls, both of which do draw more aggro than pure damage alone does. You can also focus on single-target attacks over AoEs for the first few, then AoE when the mob is smaller and already attacking someone else.

Last, don't worry about purples, only one gives significant defense (but it is the best ranged defense available anywhere), they are mostly used for recharge. If you are dying alot, look into thunderstrikes, Multistrikes and other reasonably affordable yellow sets with ranged and aoe defense bonuses.

I've never seen a DoT description say it works that way. Most of them read "X ticks of Y damage each". A fixed number essentially. But I admit I only ever looked at the in-game description and not in a while so my memory could be way off.

What I've seen is that teaming is something that people who know how to do it take for granted as being easy any time any place. And those who don't know how find hard all the time even on Freedom and Virtue.

Finding a team does take a little bit of skill. Even starting one. On some servers in the right zone you can use broadcast and it will work. but most of the time, it won't. You need to use the looking for team tool to see who out there has set there flag to looking for any. And sending tells to solo players helps a lot.

Also, know your zones. the ones where broadcast works are only Shark and Cap. Sometimes Grandville but not often.

Other than that find your server's grouping channels and join them.

To expand on what StarGeek said, there is a second major breakpoint at level 21. % bonus scales down but there are two caveats: Small bonuses do not get reduced (generally smaller than the level you exemp to but not exactly) and ED applies AFTER the downscale so overslotting for a key bonus is a valid strategy when exemplaring.

The key to using the first strategy is in the example of the ranged attack on the wiki page you were pointed to. Level 50 quads will give you the same bonus all the way down to level 21 (18%/18%/18%/18%). Level 43 triples work the same and level 24 doubles.

And, of course procs work as normal.

Strange follow up, I loaded city on a windows boot camp and I have the same email problem there. Is it a setting somewhere maybe?

I tried /bugging it but never get any response but the canned "thank you for sending your bug report".

My recommendation is to focus on bosses, they drop tips way faster than other mobs.

That is spectacular, nice work!

Anyone have suggestions for this one:

I can't email myself anything. If I have an attachment of any kind to an email, as soon as I send it is instantly pulled out of the email and the email is deleted. I get a message about claiming the item from email so I know it is properly sending, but it won't stick.

Any suggestions for a work around? I've bugged it after the last three patches. Started with i19.5.
