Well, did my first level shifted Tin Mage tonight, on my en/traps corruptor. IIRC, around five of the team was level shifted. And I think that was the smoothest, most enjoyable Tin Mage I've had. Damage and mez changes were fairly noticeable.

Given the level shift and probably most of any enhancement bonuses you care about are available with Rare, it looks like the best part of getting Very Rare is probably the 'Incarnate' title.

I only plan on the VR for the scrapper badger who crafted it last night. Stats really didn't budge much. Also, be careful NOT to craft the exact same Alpha you already have slotted to save a few shards.

Not even bothering with Target runs on most other characters because they don't need (nor do I want) the notices on them past the Rare.

But what about the bonus merits?

I have several characters with 500+ merits, and a couple with 1000+. I have a multitude of bins filled with the IOs I commonly use. I have several characters with quite a few alignment merits. I've already had my way with the market many times over. I have zero need for more inf. I have no desire to level up anything new / finish the couple of characters not 50. Respeccing characters is on par with getting teeth pulled, but at least with the teeth pulling, I get something fun out of it. The only reason I'm even doing the weekly targets is for the Notices (which I've gotten on all the characters that I wanted it on) and the #@$ !@$@#% @#$@#$% badges for my Scrapper.

tl;dr = Don't care about em

And the extra 10% or so from the Core side.
