I started a thread about an AV killer a few days ago and that got me to thinking: When should I ramp up the difficulty from EB to AV? Should I wait till SOs...IOs?

What's the lowest concievable level you all think could take them on?

When you post please post powerset combo

By the time you are level 22-25 you have a good number of slots and the comparison between SOs and DOs makes that even easier to decide. Having the last tier minion at level 26 is an important maturation point. I don't consider it necessary to wait to the second upgrade at level 32 by any means, however.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

This also depends on how much you are willing to invest in your build and at what level.

I have a Bots/FF and didn't buy all his sets until level 50 (And bought the level 50 versions of all the IO's) so he is pretty useless at a lower level, but if I had really wanted to I think I could have bought all the IO's at level 25-30 and got my softcapped defence back then - which would have let me solo AV's earlier.

But personally I don't like the difference between low level IO sets and high level ones so I always wait until level 50.

I guess a more heal or debuff oriented set might work out differently though, especially the ones that don't really 'need' IO set bonus'.
