Looking for Elec/Nin Guide

All incarnate abilities are not affected by recharge bonuses, including Spiritual.

I heard that Alpha Slot enhancements DID affect the other slots. Is this demonstrably false? Musc doesn't boost damage, nor Nerve accuracy of the other Incarnate abilities?

The only Incarnate powers that currently can be buffed in anyway are Judgment and Lore with regards to all non-recharge bonuses. Musc will increase the damage both powers do, Nerva increases accuracy and etc. And of course currently only the Alpha Slot can buff the two powers, all other buffs are ignored.

The others, either the tech is too hard to work with (Interface) or are too powerful up front to allowed to be buffed (Destiny).

Check out this link for more info.

Yeah I read Black Scorpion's post and he said Nerve and Musc benefit Lore pets' damage and accuracy which is interesting because I think Nerve is probably the least useful alpha at the moment but if Nerve can help pet's accuracy (do they have very poor accuracy to begin with?), then it could be good.

*sigh*

I should expect this, but I never do, like Lucy with the the football.

If they say we can go 35 MPH, you can bet that they will hard code it so we can't accidentally do 36. Grrrr.

Here's a thought, devs. At LEAST let the effing incarnate ALPHA work on the other Incarnates without trying to control us so completely? (Truth be told, you ought to let Global buffs work too.) I mean when you can't even allow an Incarnate ability to work thoroughly, that's lame and sad. (And it's even stupider that the Alphas are handled inconsistently.)

Well, these are the people that brought us the Purple patch, the Hami nerf, and all the other convuluted way to keep the players (their paying customers) in line.

I *hope* I find that to get a very rare Incarnate ability takes a moronically huge effort (and long grind) because then I could junk the whole Incarnate system as nothing more than the same kind of mindless rat wheel where you do repetitive mission that are way too hard for just a tiny sliver of reward that doesn't even make you that much more powerful.

I mean, each of the Very Rare will have a moderate effect on a well designed build.

-Musculature will increase my Lightning Rod by about 14% (from 400 to 457)
-Nerve will increase LR's Acc from 179% to 212% (Likely way overkill)
-Spiritual will lower LR's recharge from 25.8 seconds to 23.4 seconds - only about two seconds difference
-Cardiac will decrease LR's cost from 11.4 end to 8.2 (However, with 3 slotted stam plus Numina/Miracle/PerfShifter Uniques, I don't imagine I *need* Endurance help.

I don't mind doing 2-3 weeks worth of casual gaming to get the Alpha - say 6-8 hours per week, for a total of 12-24 hours, but I better not have to crawl over broken glass backwards for such a moderate boost.

[Yes, the level shift is nice, but also a smallish boost. Avoiding the penalty for not having a slotted Incarnate when doing Incarnate trials is NOT a significant boost, as those penalties can easily be avoided if you decide the rest of the aspects aren't worth it by simply not doing those missions.]

At least treat the interactions of the Incarnate abilities with each other logically and consistently, allowing either ALL incarnates to synergize with each other or NONE (and for the price, it should be ALL.)

I'm sorry, is there anything else for bringing up ancient history about people that no longer work on this game? So I guess I know the answers to my questions.
