I would strongly recommend against that. The whip attacks are superior to pool powers and provide force multiplication with -resistance.

Did you brother spend influence to combine rares into very rares? You certainly can do that with your massive stockpile.

I don't get the logic. If your respective computers are loading the BAF that slowly, wouldn't the speedsters be ahead of you killing the spawns regardless of whether the cut scene plays or not? Everyone pauses during the cut scene, not everyone has a solid state drive...

No. The rewards are different. I don't see you using threads to select an IO of any level that you want, or purchasing PvP and Purple IOs. Incarnate content grants the fastest advancement of Incarnate abilities. That's pretty simple and exclusive, just like, you know, tip missions and Hero Merits...


And many players run their tip missions at +0x8 when level shifted to 51, providing no real challenge at all, maximizing drop chances of purples, and spending about 5 minutes in the mission. Time/Difficulty has no bearing in your protest, it's all about NEW versus OLD content, and encouraging players to run new content while still granting the ability for old content to contribute to advancement (Shard->Thread).

I agree. The best route for rares and very rares seems to be to grind for most and to pay for some.

**2nd and 3rd day after HEAVY grinding. I would say that there's a difference between spending 10-20 hours participating in new content versus spending 10 minutes to craft whatever you wanted from stockpiled Shards. I consider 6,000% to 12,000% a big difference... Guess you don't.

That's the thing though-- I am helping my team more with Acid Arrow, Poison Gas Arrow, Flash Arrow, Oil Slick Arrow, and Disruption Arrow while using Howl to provide an additional -20% resistance to an AoE. So, in order to get better rewards, I need to contribute less to the team by fitting the formula better? Even steam roll teams are better served by my debuffing resistance than by spamming attacks for paltry defender level damage.

They need to look into any set that delivers abilities via pseudo pets, both Traps and Trick Arrow included. If these sets use their many abilities that are pseudo-pet based they generally get worse rewards than if one were to simply spam AoE attack from their respective blast sets or MM primaries.

And I'm pretty sure that Traps and TA are contributing more to a team with Poison Trap, Acid Mortar, EM Pulse, Sonic Arrow, Oil Slick Arrow, etc.

It either gets reset, or the system measure your participation level relative to others in the trial, and having missed 10%-20% of the trial your participation would thus take a similar hit. Crashing is generally bad.

Don't run max memeber trials, ie 24 memeber BAFs and 16 memeber Lambdas. People are obsessed with maxing team size when most memebers could easily run these at minimum team size with all their new incarnate powers

If clicks are measured, do you know how much less active you would be considered than a Controller, Blaster or Dominator (The three ATs that I have seen consistently out-pacing other ATs)? It's not even close having TG on auto fire...

One thing that's also interesting is that the melee classes that are doing the best happen to be Regen. Hmmm, click heavy...

It's always at the bottom of your temp power sub list, so anyone that can't scroll down to the bottom is either just lazy, dumb, or a new player fresh from AE with little experience.

24 man BAFs will almost always yield mediocre reward tables when everything dies so fast. Try a 12-16 man run on BAF with your controller and see if you get the same results.

Click heavy ATs are doing very well (Blaster, Dom, Controller), which leads me to just LOL at combat's post above. Wow. Judging us per click, really? I hope that's not the case...
