lol

At some point this will change and I will be bringing some other toon, It may be a tank/brute or a MM.......yea, I'm up in the air about it. But that is assuming I get all the shards I need before I 20.....(NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!) but I would like to start working on one of my other not even Alpha slotted toons soon.

I'm actually slowing on my attempt at hopping on the shard rabidness bandwagon. I get to feeling pressured by this kind of thing. Same reason I usually just market on double xp weekends, or go exploration badge hunting.

And, with the power that these incarnate abilities have, it feels like the toon is leaving the rest of the game behind. Just my feelings, but then again, I've locked toons in the 20s so I'd not have to leave Talos. Man, I love Talos.

Thx again CP for setting this up and hope all worked out on your end. Had a really great time guys and even though we did not have the perfect team makeup, vet players always come out on top.

Well, CP wasn't able to stay up and I didn't go, though I was there, because I clearly didn't understand that I've got to fill my Alpha slot first. Though I was thinking I'd get stuff to make the thing to put in it. Oh well.

I know this isn't the right place to ask. But is there a little guide saying how and what to do to make these. I know with musculature I'll have to run Statesman. I'll search and see what I can find. But I thought I understood.

Obviously Incarnates are much more powerful than I thought, too.

Well for the Tin Mage and Apex TF's people who don't have something slotted in their alpha slot are actually penalized by the game. Normally these TF's are level 50(or 50+) characters fighting against level 54 enemies. But if you do not have something in your alpha slot, you'll actually be fighting at the equivalent of level 46 going against level 54 enemies (including a ton of EB's and AV's). I've been on a few of these with people who were not slotted, and usually we've not been able to finish the TF because basically that person can hit nothing and dies very quickly and very often.

Here's some info on the wiki on how to get it slotted:

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Alpha_Slot

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Alpha_Slot_Abilities

http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Incarnate_Component

So basically decide what boost you want to work on. What area does your toon need more help in? Sometimes the tier 1 ability might not be what you want, but later up the tree might be something you do need. So take the time to look at your tree's and see what area you would like some more help in. Then look and see what pieces it says it needs. Then look at that last link I posted and see where those pieces come from.

You can also get "Generic" Incarnate Shards to convert into specific parts if there is an event you don't want to do, but you need the part for. I've done this a few times for the Cathedral of Pain piece. A great way to get generic Incarnate Shards is Rikti Mothership Raids.

Once you create your Alpha Slot ability, make sure to Equip it. I've seen a few people who have made them, but not equipped them. I hope this helps. If not just let us know =)

After looking at all that, I know what I need to do. Though, I thought that I'd be slotting for Musculature as I'd like extra damage, but I get all my damage into the 90s just slotting for bonuses. And I thought it would help against defense debuffs to me, which I care about. I'm not sure upping that in my GC, etc, is really worth using my incarnate stuff on.

I think I'll either go Nerve or Spiritual. Neither really hits the ED too badly across the board like Musculature does. Though with my plan to get her some LotG7.5s, I think that the recharge bonus plus the incarnate stuff might start bumping against the animation time on some.

Well, I've got some shards to get. I'm tempted to go to Mender Ram with Saltier, my new 50 blaster, since Spiritual and Cardiac make so much sense to her. Plus she's really fun. And she has around 1k vmerits, which I'm thinking might be one of the easiest way to get shards.

And, geez, if i knew that vmerits were good for real stuff, I wouldn't have picked up that giant robot.

Thanks guys, you're great.

Yeah some of my toons it is OBVIOUS what path I need to take them down. But on others, none of it really fits. But I need something, so I pick the one that at least gives me some bonuses. My main toon Luna is that way. She's already pretty well balanced thanks to the sets I've slotted in her. Thus she's been kind of neglected in getting slotted so far.

But other toons that the alpha abilities will help, they have been awesome to work on. So I think you should take Saltier to Mender Ram as well. Plus on TF's or WST's, if the team is too heavy on one type of AT, you can switch to another and still get shards on them.

Oh, don't worry about spending Vmerits on the robots. You'll want those for the Apex and Tin Mage TF's...... trust me! I think I went through 4 of those in one night on my rad.

=)
