Doesn't sound like survival was the problem. And that little dagger would of helped your team alot

I usually play with everything nearly maxxed out and with hardly any lag but for trials I have to drop the graphics down to performance level or I can't even load. I don't mind that so much though because I've always had to do that for Rikti Mothership and Hamidon raids anyway. Maybe you should try lowering graphics? It's not like there's much to look at during raids.

I do think that the sentiment you have stated here is not likely to earn you much praise or teammates in the long run and will really lessen your playing experience here in City of Heroes.

Heals are of little value in City of Heroes. Team buffs and enemy debuffs that proactively limit incoming damage are just far and away better at keeping a team alive and speeding through content than heals.

As a defender you have half of your power sets devoted to damage. Don't short change yourself by not paying attention to your secondary or fool yourself into thinking your doing more for the team by being a "pure healer".

Aside from the dps you contribute most of these attacks will have a secondary effect that is beneficial to the team. These sets also tend to feature a utility power that will take a troublesome mob out of the fight and keep them off of the teams back.

PGT is a bit weird.

When the trap first goes off it applies a single, short hold to all enemies in range (this hold has to make a hit roll even though PGT cannot take accuracy enhancements). After that the gas cloud remains for 30 seconds which will once a second apply a regeneration debuff and have a 2% chance of applying an additional short hold.

Now in general the primary usage of PGT is really the regeneration debuff against AVs. The usage of the core power against normal enemies is not as good. What I do is jump into the middle of a group and place the Trap. That way the entire group gets hit by the first hold which provides some benefit. I also recommend putting in a Lockdown Hold Proc, that provides an additional change to hold during the rest of te duration so you get quite a bit more effectiveness.

THEN you come on here and complain that you're too strong??

This argument is as silly as a man suing Mcdonalds for making him fat or very muscular man getting upset with his gym for making him too fit. You reap what you sow people.

Besides it's not like you HAVE to use your incarnate powers. There is the option to unslot them. Heck, it's not like you have to use your IOs either. Dual builds ftw.

As for the OP, expect those numbers to halve once the rest of the incarnate abilities are introduced.
