It's going to be either my awesome Fortunata or Bane.
I haven't really studied Alpha Slots but I don't think I need that much more +recharge. It won't hurt but I don't think it's worth my time to get more +recharge. I need to look into it when i19 comes out and see what else I can get. I only know about Spiritual Tree a bit.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
I would go mental, I have 35 50s and would never be able to choose which one I'd take incarnate. My main badger is an Elec/WP Brute or my namesake an Arch/TA cor or my Dom a Mind/Nrg. So many choices lol

Me too. He's my only fully purpled character so he will be an Incarnate.

I have more fun playing him than any other character and he stands to gain a lot from the incarnate abilities. |
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Easy for me to say:
Magical Nova. Grav/Rad Troller. I love using her...
** Guardian�s Crazy Catgirl **
************* 22 XxX 10 *************
Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.
For me the answer is simple I'd go with my Crab Spider and get her the Cardiac Radial Boost. I have respec'd her on test and gone this route... Huge increase in END and another 20% increase in defenses that were already good has made her a nightmare for most things that come her way. With the respec I was able to add even more attacks and now have 3 different pets I can summon so I always have at least One available and have even managed to work it so all three were available when we hit the AV at the end on a Task Force.

My Kat/DA currently IOd out to be on the defensive side. Would love to add more damage to the equation.
I will echo everyone and say its a tough choice.
Part of me would want to be loyal to my main toon and name sake Tired Angel (Grav/Storm 'troller) but at the same time there are a couple of toons that haven't quite hit 50 that would be uber if I made them incarnates (my Warshade, my Rad/Dark 'fender and my Shield/Electric Tank).
And then there is also my Bots/Traps MM and my Fire/Fire tank!
Oooo the choices :S

So you can imagine my excitement for being able to slot stamina along with a few of the end uniques in health.
Both will be getting the musculature core paragons innitially, but am curious to see what the recharge alpha can do for them too.
I'm kind of torn between two of my 50s as well. I will probably stick with the firstborn, who is a storm/elec def. I've been working diligently for the past 2mos IO'ng her and finally stopped a couple of weeks ago. I would definitely like more damage, if possible. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Local Man's going with his Ill/Rad, another will undoubtedly pick one of his umpteen scrappers and I haven't a clue what the others will do. Realistically I'm probably looking at either CMA or Nameless Phantom with some possibility of Damocleve. Since I seem to be known for tanking that probably means CMA would be most likely. |
I am in the same situation with lots of tanks and scrappers.
Tanker: Fire/Fire
Scrapper: DM/Shield
Controller: Fire/Kin
Blaster: Fire/EM
Defender: D3
VEAT: Crab
Which one of those would largely depend on what my groups of regulars chose. I would like to use my Fire/Fire but my Crab has turned out to be an absolute MONSTER and I don't have all my IOs in him yet.
Cheers

My Fortunata (melee build), no question about it. Far and away the most fun character I've played in CoX.
Well if a Purped out SS/SD Brute is already universally considered the Freight Train Build, imagine a Freight Train with a perma-Hasten, no endurance issues, capped positional Defenses, Gloom + Dark Obliteration, an already healthy global damage bonus, double stacked rage, + Musculature Radial Tree.... (and eventually the Radial Paragon & the +1 Level Bonus)
I guess you could call it a Freight Train w/ Nuclear Bomb aboard. 
So definitely Black Massacre, my SS/SD/Soul Brute with the Musculature Radial Tree. I'll be going for one of the hardest hitting PvE Brutes across any server, hands down.
Ping me at @Psion or Psion2.

Brute base damage is low though, and Shield Charge has a damage cap of only 400% (which you can easily hit with fury and Rage). You'd probably get more use out of the rech/heal piece. You'd get bonus health, faster Stomp and Shield Charge, and more regen.

Although nice, SC isn't really what makes or breaks the combo, and since Im approaching 175% Recharge and have the Force Feedback Proc in Foot Stomp, Already perma-Hastened, etc.- Recharge is not something I have to have.
I'll need to test it's net effect and see how much faster it's bringing up SC and FS. I honestly don't think it will be much.
I'm thinking that collectively, if I could do an extra net 22% Global Damage ignoring ED on top of everything else but SC once slotted up with the rare, I'd be very happy with that. Plus in the Radial line, part of the Paragon is the +20% To Hit Debuff- not earth-shattering, but definitely a nice compliment to /Soul and /Shield.

Tough choice, of my 50 L50's who will get the most attention first? My two badge hunters will obtain their first alpha boost so they can do the new TF's, and I'll do the same for my main PB and WS. |

I am trying to decide which archtype and power set combo from among my 50's to focus on for my first Incarnate. I am leaning toward my Stone/Fire/Pyre Tank but would sure like to see what others think. The times they are a changing, Jak |
After that....not sure. I suspect a tank or a brute will go all out to energize their powers then I'll work from there.
I want to say my Archetype would be Defenders with all powersets covered. If I have to pick one it'll be my main, Radiation emission/Electrical Blast/Electricity Mastery.
It's a toss up between my namesake (Claws/Regen), Isabella Ice (Ixe/ice), or Mia Feldman DB/WP.
Triumph Charactors: Tabby Cat: 50 Claws/Regen
Isabella Ice: 50 ice/ice
Wondderland: 50 ice/cold
Mindfull: 50/Kin
Probably my widow. She's the only character of mine IOed out enough that I want to see her real improvement.
