    thanks!
  2. Skippy_McHaggis
    I just came back to the game (for a 3rd time) after an extended break. I am currently VIP, so I have access to the incarnate content. I am basically playing solo, as I'm the only one of my old group that's around.

    I've tried the new queue for trials, but nothing popped, and since you can't run missions while queued, it's not really all that helpful.

    So I have a couple questions:

    Is there anyone on Justice running trials with any regularity?

    Where do I need to be (zone?) or when should I be looking (I'm an east coast player)?

    Or: what should I be doing to earn Incarnate Shards most efficiently?

    I've been running around with Gloom and Dark Obliteration on my NW because the people I usually play with are all pretty AOE spec'ed and my most effective killer is an ele/shield scrapper with fire blast and fire ball, so I'm used to the ranges and radii of the aoe.

    But I've noticed that things really love to run away from the widow. So I've been debating between staying where I am, or getting Soul Tentacles to slow down the runners.

    If I switched, I could keep either gloom or dark oblit and not lose any real recharge. I think the only thing I lose is is the +max end I have in gloom if I don't take that.

    So I'm curious...what combo of those three powers would you choose?

    ss/inv build help

    POST-ACTION

    I have recently come back to the game after a few years off and am still trying to wrap my head around the changes that have been made to the game. I quit before the IO sets were on the scene, and now feel a little overwhelmed by all the choices.

    In light of that, I've been trying to find a build for my ss/inv brute to get my SMASH on. This is what I've come up with. I would appreciate any feedback you guys can offer.
