Alpha Slot choice vis a vis i19 content

With respect to choosing your Alpha Slot, does the i19 content adversely affect any specific statistic so that you might need to slot the Alpha Slot to compensate? For example,
1. If your character already has enough endurance, that might indicate that you don't need to choose Cardiac. But if the i19 content had super-sappers, that might be a reason to choose Cardiac.
2. If your character already has enough accuracy, that might indicate that you don't need to choose Nerve. But if the i19 content debuffs Accuracy, that might be a reason to choose Nerve.

As far as I know, nothing like that.

I19 has giant invisible mutant robotic laser-guided pyrokinetic shark ninjas. I'd recommend slotting debt protection.

Not exactly like that but if you attempt the new TFs without an alpha slot of any kind you will get a major debuff.

If you do not slot the Alpha slot with anything and you do the incarnate TF's. This will be the scenario. You will be 4 levels less then a player with the alpha slotted.
So lets say the enemies will be lvl 54. Your team mates will be lvl 50 and you will have the power of being lvl 46. That is 8 lvls difference. Good luck in hitting stuff... and survive. (Thats atleast my impression)

Yup. It doesn't matter what Incarnate Boost you have slotted, but if you attempt an Incarnate TF with the slot empty you will be under a debuff that lowers your effective level by 4. So your ability to hit enemies, avoid being hit by them, the damage to and received from enemies, it all functions as if you are 46. IIRC correctly pets and pet-based powers still spawn and function at level 50, but i expect that's a bug that will be fixed, so it's best to simply unlock the slot, run a couple high level TFs, and craft a boost before running an Incarnate TF.
