That's a good strategy....save me from having to grind. I was considering hiring someone to play my accounts because this Alpha stuff is becoming a bit too demanding for my lifestyle. I play mainly during holidays but now I'm playing weekly. I have 2 alphas and maintaining them weekly is an 8+/- hour effort.

In other words, all your powers that can slot Damage get an additional 27.5% Damage on top of what you have slotted in them, ED is applied, and then they all get a 5.5% Damage boost on top of that. This bonus will persist as long as you have the Musculature Boost slotted. As you go higher up in the tree, you'll find abilities that enhance more than one aspect of your powers at a time, and ignore ED to a higher degree. So your best bet is to see which Enhancement will benefit you the most, and try to craft one of the topmost abilities from that tree. If you just want the Level Shift, craft at least one Rare (the ones in the middle row that has four slots), slot that, and you're good. |

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

I don't know why, but I'm imagining something like four different damage types, by type of power (like how Alpha has Cardiac, etc.) and the higher tiers offering you more enhancement slots on the power. That's assuming it can't be freely swapped out.|

If it can be swapped out, same as Alpha, then it probably won't be slot-able and just be yet another temporary power to add to my collection... I mean, can you imagine how many things could go wrong, programming a swappable power with slots?
For example, if you slot the bottom-most ability in the red tree, Musculature Boost, that gives you 33% Damage, 1/6 of which ignores ED. In other words, all your powers that can slot Damage get an additional 27.5% Damage on top of what you have slotted in them, ED is applied, and then they all get a 5.5% Damage boost on top of that.
