Thank you for the quick responses. I have 2 incarnate level shifts. I unlocked the alpha slot but never slotted it. I guess its off to the shard farm!

Thank you again everyone.

Not sure if I am posting this in the correct place but here it goes.

After I received my second level shift I noticed much improved performance in the trials. Some mobs did not con purple anymore and my damage increased.

I was curious how my toon would perform in normal newspaer mission. I quickly selected a level 50 newspaper mission with the difficulty set to fight mobs at my own level (+0).

Before entering the mission I expected to see level 50 minions con green to me since I had 2 level shifts. To my surprise there was no difference. Level 50 minions still appeared white, Lt's Yellow, and the Boss orange.

Does this mean the level shifts only work in the trials? Would not make sense if that is the case since my other incarnate powers seem to work fine.

I played both mind and control. I have a few comparisons

the single target holds are pretty much identical

mind has single target sleep elec has single target immob

the elec aoe sleep is better than mind because it pulses. Anything that wakes up is put back to sleep.

aoe holds are pretty much the same.

they both have an aoe confuse. mind gets a chance to confuse all in the group. elec hops from one mob to the next. if it misses it ends. the recharge on elec confuse is only 60 seconds, mind is 5 minutes.

mind has levitate while elec has aoe immob

mind has a cone fear attack and elec has an aoe knockdown

elec gets pets mind does not

mind get tele elec does not

mind gets single target confuse elec get end drain aura.

I find elec easier to play in groups.

I feel more powerful with mind solo.
