So....you are choosing to pursue other things or you were told to pursue other things?
I'm confused....
Either way, interesting timing.
Good luck LH.

Holy awesomesauce!!!!
I know several players whom I expect to see their very well concieved story arcs up at some point.
Im in disbelief. This is just TOO DAM COOL!!!

Thanks dev team for the news and the reminder of how good we have it.

LOL@ all you sour grapers.
There are a ton of reasons why this guide is great for people. PvP is not for everyone. Badges are not for everyone. Live and let live.

I'm aware I over look ED. I even explain that, and said you can change it if wanted. But those extra slots just makes those powers all the better. After 3 slots, the percentage goes up about 2-5%, which in 6 slot situations would add about 12-30% more to the power. All in all, change it if you fell it's a waste, but I'm comftorble with it and I feel my powers have a little extra something.

I realize you may feel somewhat attacked and maybe feeling you need to defend.....but seriously, you should really try some different slotting out on the test server. I think you will soon realize you are not letting your builds live up to their potential. If 6 slotting REALLY gave you an xtra 12-30% everyone would still be doing it. We arent. Cuz it doesn't.

I have a LvL 48 Ill/Kin. He's uber fun and nothing has 6 slots of the same enhancements.(unless you are using DO's, which I do not, any longer.)
Solo'ing is a breeze and teaming is a great time as well.
Your guide is in need of I7/ED compliant suggestions. Your proposed build hinders your toons potential, imo.
Your purpose as an ILL/Kin is be a buff/debuff machine for your team and to mitigate damage via your pets by them attracting the foes attention away from you and your team long enough for you to get some hard controls on them, like flash or blind. Using your enemies "potentials" against them by sapping them dry to increase your teams "potentials". Spectral Wounds should be used as a "kill-shot" power only, in most cases. You dont wanna draw unneccesary attention to yourself.

My fire tanker is level 17 right now; I don't have taunt or stamina yet. I'm wondering: should I get taunt first or try to get stamina first

[/ QUOTE ]

Do not get taunt at all. You dont need it. You are gonna be fine for drawing aggro. Get stamina and use the slot u were gonna use for taunt....well...get something more useful for your builds survival. I have had my fire/fire/pyre "taunt free" for over a year now. I havent missed it one bit. In fact I have a more survivable build without having taunt. F/F builds are too tight to waste powerslots on fluff powers like taunt. Dont build your tank "for the long haul". Build him for "the now". You can use respecs to "fix him/her" as you gain levels. 6 slot your shields with DO's til you get to SO's. Then respec back to 3 slots for your shields and place those slots somewhere they can help you in the damage department or to help feed your end-hog.

LMAO.....I5 itself is a "known issue".

Why are we NOT getting any answers to our questions..........?
Aren't we paying you to answer them......? As I recall, I was charged $15 not so long ago.....as was every other person here on these boards.
The majority of the community(yoiur paycheck) is begging for answers and logic to your changes(which at this point is irrelevant since the games fun-factor has gone down considerably for many of our toons and we simply want our fun back not an explanation at this stage) and you are ignoring your paycheck.....
I'd almost rather know why you're ignoring us than how you think these changes are actually an enjoyable product to peddle...........
