why not take an SO'd hero... tons of people still use the plain old SO's Make a second version of a couple of your favorite/more common heroes.. say fire/fire blaster, a sword/regen scraper, perhaps a defender of some flavor. test the arcs with a set up like that.
Also in the descrption why not say whats the arc is ment for. easy for everyone, IO'd 50's only!.. must have team.. blah blah. Or Arc tested on list at's Something for people to compare

Not bad. I think I will list that my Scrapper soloed it easy while my Controller and Defender had a tougher time. I tried it with my lvl 50 AR/Dev Blaster (on Heroic) and did fine also. He went slow, but the normal tactics worked. (Dev is always slow if tactics are needed)
I also just remembered I tried it with a lvl 50 Necro/Dark MM and plowed through it.
I did finally get a group of 8 to try it yesterday. But it was a horrible test. For some strange reason, everyone loaded into the mish, took off in 3 different directions, and we team-wiped. I was baffled at that behavior...where did that come from? (I had been invited to a PuG and we ran a couple of radio missions before that without this happening.)
I suggested that we stay together after hosp. Naturally I DC'ed as soon as I went to the hosp and the team was disbanded by the time I "verified all files" (much longer than it normally takes to do that of course) and got back in. I'll admit I cursed over that lost opportunity to see how it would play with a full team. That may not come around again.

sometimes you can build on that and add some secret-weapon-type thing like a secret ally.[/b][/i]

I'm going to be relying on this a lot, I think. Balance is *hard* in this, because things in MA don't hit like regular mobs.
I've been oneshotted on my SCRAPPER more times than I can count in there. And she may be only L24 and MA/Shield, but that shouldn't be happening that often. One I know is the result of that accursed ninjutsu bug, but the other times....
I've been making a point of running characters of all levels and types through my unpublished arcs because of this. Finally, a reason for altitis!
Currently playing:
The Domestic: Broom/WP
Shadowhex: Dark Control/Dark Affinity
Defenestration Lass: Grav/Kin

Yes as used there an "ask", is indeed a reference to the "possibility" that they may need to adjust their diff.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
