Obsoleted by Incarnate powers

My electric blaster has the Rare Ion Judgement slotted, and, guess what? I still use my nuke plenty.

The Judgement slot is just another tool in the destruction I can mete out.

As far as the buffs and whatnot destroying the buffing classes, I disagree here again. The standard power buffs are a much better constant and much better stacked. The Destiny buffs fade too quickly and recharge too slowly. They're nice to have to get the team out of a pinch, but they're hardly dependable.

Looking at the next 5 slots, I think Mind might be some kind of mez protection, and Vitae might be an HP/endurance boost - both could be inherent, or toggles.

To passerby I thought the unbalance was being caused by the team as a whole. Its not like I didn't pay attention to their health bars. I would stop or slow up on attacking the AVs when they got out of balance but a lot of times the damage was already done and it was happening so fast that I didn't have the time to consider that I was the cause of it. I thought the whole team was just awesome. It wasn't until that one BAF where the league leader caught on that I was doing to much damage to fast that I knew. Now that I know I have adjusted depending on the team I'm running with. If I didn't adjust after I found out, through trial and error I might add, that I was causing the problem then I would be a bad player and need to lrn2play. I might have been unitentionally causing problems but I wasn't griefing which is a large part of what they accused me of.

So no in short I was not oblivious to the HPs of the AVs. I just had one of those sudden realizations. Something along the lines of, "Wait a second. I was the one doing that... Cool." I should also point out that it was happening fast enough that the others on that AV kept attacking after I stopped, compounding the problem. Those same others were also the ones who pointed that fact out to the two who were throwing a fit, who I might add were on the ambush team and both ended up getting the rare table at the end. The leader ended up kicking them since they wouldn't let it go, recruited some more, we ran another master run, and were very successful that time.

By the way I still shake my head at the idea of doing too much damage. I can't wait to show Tyrant, the Praetorian Hamidon, and the Coming Storm too much damage.

I just unlocked my Judgement and I expected fun things. I took Void because it was thematic. It's a big bag, but maybe I should have taken another one.

It's only tier one, and well...It looks wierd, does not do a heck of a lot of damage (Well...more than my other options because I am a controller player) and it's PbAOE which means I'm vunlerable to attacks.

I think the only powers that make me thing things are out of whack are still Judgement and Lore Pets.

I'm skipping Judgement until there's a physical attack tree, like stamping your foot or punching the ground

The Well gives Tyrant and his minions Incarnate power - which is shaped to fit the people it empowers - giving a Clockwork increased psychic power for example, wouldn't help as it has no psychic power to increase - so a Clockwork would receive the power in a way that would boost it in the most efective way - like increasing its firepower and strengthening its armor.
When that Clockwork is defeated, the Incarnate power it had returns to the Well, but keeps the "pattern" it had while it was empowering the Clockwork - and an incarnate player, who's linked to the Well, can then draw out that pattern for their own use - and a Seer gets empowered by the Well in a a different way to boost her powers, so when she's defeated the Incarnate power in her returns to the Well in a pattern that matches her.
All the Lore pets are "imprints" - they're manifestations of Incarnate power that take the shape of the person or machine that the power was used on.

On iTrials, the damage output from my dark/pain corr feels somewhat negligible (until reinforcements where she can happily Anguishing Cry+Void+cone+cone+cone away), but other than that she's still my happy little toolbox of things to do, and other people becoming more toolboxy too doesn't invalidate that at all, it just means I do other things on her.
And for months I'd been saying mez was her only true weakness. Clarion<3

Regular lvl 50 TFs and SFs are getting a little too trivial, though. And steamrolled. Team a lvl 45 character trying to lvl up with a team of a handful of incarnates and some regular 50s doing a WST, that character isn't quite so useful.

But really, my only annoyance with the incarnate powers is how people whine about not having them when exemp'd down to a lower TF/SF. "Yeah, you've been yapping about how cool your judgements are for the past two missions and how they'd tear through this Moonfire. Grrreat. Such interesting conversation."
Not everyone's worshiping their 50s because of this. I still have altitis and there's still reasons I make sure my characters work when exemp'd.
