All About Incarnate (Alpha through Destiny)
Interface and Destiny are not affected by Alpha stuff. Judgement and Lore are. Except recharge.
|
But a few hours later it was really bugging me, and I logged back in to test a theory. I fired off my rebirth, and saw 4 digits again. Then I unslotted my T4 spiritual alpha, fired my rebirth off again, and the heal was smaller! I checked again, this time watching the regen values on my character, and sure enough, with the spiritual alpha in I was getting bigger regen numbers than with it unslotted.
I can't check any other destiny and alpha combinations, but it looks like at the very least the spiritual heal effect is being applied to destiny, so it's possible some other alpha effects are being applied to destiny as well.
Anyway, I'm slightly less bitter that my spiritual recharge doesn't affect my incarnate powers now, because the alpha boosted rebirth is making an already awesome power even more awesome
Edit: Aww, apparently a bug
Heals for Rebirth are affected by Spiritual at the moment, but according to a dev it's a bug, so don't expect it to stay.

Out of curiosity though, does it boost the lore pet heals at all? And for that matter do you have any info on how often/intelligently they fire those off? I mostly just notice the fortitude buff because the sound effects for that freak me out (side effect of having a psi hole in my armor set ), but I'm uncertain about how smart they actually are about using those heals since so far I've mostly just pulled the pets out in trials at points where it wouldn't matter.

Clockwork vs IDF vs Seer vs Warworks
I presume that these iPets aren't all identical in terms of buffs, performance, etc. ... but there's absolutely no way to know that for sure based on the information that Paragon Studios has given us (which isn't so much "bare bones" as much as "calcium deprived powdered mixtures"). It would be really nice to know what the various iPets actually *DO* for you in better detail ... so as to be able to make an educated choice based on merits (as opposed to just pure Fashion Sense).

I thought it did the % check and proceeded from there, into 80% DoT tics. But after goofing off for a while I noticed it was virtually impossible to attack something and have it NOT tic at least once. Not sure where I got that idea from.

I'm trying to determine the best path for mezz protection for my Dark Defender. I was thinking of Clarion but then heard the Battle Orbs provide status protection?
So, two questions:
1. Is there a detailed power info for the battle orbs?
2. Would the orbs provide sufficient mezz protection or is Clarion the all around better choice?
If it helps...KB isn't an issue but I would love some protection from holds and stuns.
Even if Battle Orbs kept the mez protection on you all the time (they don't), they're only around 33% of the time. If you want mez protection, go Clarion.

Damage debuffs and resistances apply separately. You can't debuff their damage below -90% - so if they have an attack that does 1000 damage base, you can't reduce it below 100 with damage debuffs. However, if you then have 90% resistance, that 100 damage hit will be reduced to 10.
|
Keep in mind, these powers have to recharge. Sadly there is no way you can use Judgement on every group you face, unless you just move that slowly. You also will only get +90% def/res for a short time before it starts degrading. If you are looking at taking away damage just for survivability, then you could easily alternate between these two, to try to cover the gaps that they leave. It wont completely cover the gaps, but definitely help.

That would be a nice combo for reducing damage. I'm going Paralytic on my demon MM if I ever get to that character. I have Void Radial on my widow and it's pretty awesome.

Hi,
I love the work you've done on this guide, Dispari. I have a question specifically about the Ageless Destiny buff. Does the +Rchg that power provides affect Domination & Mind Link? I'm sorry if I missed that somewhere; my search-fu stinks of late.
Later on,

I had a great time playing with you!
Yes, it's a regular recharge buff so it works just like Hasten would.

I have a question about the Alpha slot. My most-played toon has gotten to T3 of the Alpha, and the requirements to proceed further seem a little confusing to me. Do you have to craft your way up two sides of the tree in order to get to the two T4 powers?

You just need two rares. Doesn't matter which two (except that it can't be two of the same one).

Oh, I see. Makes sense. Not sure why exactly that confused me before, but thanks.

This might be useful for some people, but it doesn't really deserve its own thread.
I figured, Dispari's guide was pretty fantastic, maybe here would be a place people would see it. (It's a repost from another thread)
My quick and dirty method for choosing Incarnate Salvage Rewards on the fly.
In particular for rares and ultra-rares, look at the Tier & Power you want to slot (in game, using the highlight mouse-over feature).
Beyond the basic (common components) the tiers of powers correspond to the rarity tier of salvage you will need
(Uncommon Tier, Rare Tier, Ultra Rare Tier)
Example (ignoring the lower Tier power(s) that is also needed):
Tier 4 (Ultra Rare Power)
This will require common components and 1 ultra rare salvage.
The ultra rare salvage is listed at the bottom.
Tier 3 (Rare Power)
This will require common components and 1 rare salvage.
The rare salvage is listed at the bottom.
Tier 2 (Uncommon Power)
This will require common components and 1 uncommon salvage.
The uncommon salvage is listed at the bottom.
And IIRC, there are only 4 named salvage for each Tier from Uncommon to Ultra Rare.
Maybe this was obvious, but I figured what the heck.
Okay, after hopping into the game, I see where I'm confused: So, it appears as if I can't make the Spiritual Total Core Revamp now that I've made the Spiritual Partial Core Revamp. The requirements for the second rare are the first two tiers, but those two powers are showing in red since I used them to make the first rare (Hope I'm making sense here.) So, do I need to start building T1 again in order to get the second rare?

Yup you basically need to go.
Common->Uncommon-Rare x 2
Since the Uncommon uses the Common as a component of crafting and the Rare uses the Uncommon as a component of crafting.
Once you have 2 Rares plus your favour of the well (2 x Notice of the well and 32 Shards) and 2 common salvage, then you craft your very rare.
Using the easiest method it takes rougly 4 weeks from nothing slotted to very rare slotted due to needing 4 notices of the well, which are awarded for completing the Weekly strike target.
Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I don't mind going back to building the T1, I just didn't want to do something stupid like rebuilding T1 and have it erase my T3 or something crazy like that.

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to people if I did a brief guide on what incarnate powers to take and aim for for different people, as a recommendation/suggestion/guide type of thing.

Thanks for the nommy guide, Dispari!
