Stupid Incarnate Tricks

I got nothing. Though i did giggle like a maniac when my new T3 Radial Ion power held a bunch of Vickies in a Trial. Mag 4 hold procs are fun!
I soloed a Rikti pylon on my dominator. Without inspirations.
Not impressive per se, but unleashing Ion Judgement on those huge mobs in Perez Park fills me with giggles!

TO THE END!Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!
Although this was just with the Alpha only, I decided to check out the 49+ difference bug with my MM in Mercy Island. Found a few level 1 mobs, and my Lich (who was 50(+1)) did 60-80 damage on them. Then took it to fight level 2s and 3s and his damage spiked up to 200-300. Oh legacy code, I can only begin to imagine what the devs must go through when adding new or updating mechanics to the game.
Nothing spectacular to date but it was fun last week after I got all 4 open and had Destiny and Lore to teir 3 to run an IFT. My Crab Spider was pretty awesome to begin with but on mission one we spawned the Nictus ambush at the end and she just stood there firing away until there was nothing left standing but my team mates and I. Oh and mission 4 was interesting I normally have three different pets (a total of six) to begin with but now I have added two more (Warworks ACU and a MK v1 Vickie). There were a couple other 5 power incarnates on that team and I have never seen poor Romi go down three times so fast.
What I am waiting on now is another shot at Tin Mage and the Mo Run. All I need is the Dodger badge. 8 pets along with Shivan, Warwolves, and an Amy.. I don't have a nuke but I do have an entire 2nd team I can add to do damage. LOL

Yeah, if someone fires a Barrier Destiny right before engaging, the healing fluffy can't hit anything and the fight is extremely brief.

Had an 18-minute speed run of the ITF on Monday.
We actually only killed Romulus twice, but since we simultaneously annihilated the Nictus AVs too...
All in all we were killing stuff so fast it wasn't even funny.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Now, that's the kind of thing I'm talking about.
Hm. Time to see which of my Incarnates can solo pylons now...

Barrier Core Epiphany has very good up time, although it's only about 5% def/res at the end that defense is just enough to let me solo a wing in the Lambda Sector sabotage phase as a crab spider.
I get the 10 threads reward at the end of the trial if I do run off alone to match the work of seven other people faster than they do, though...

My crab solo'd a Pylon in 33.7 seconds. Something I would have never even bothered to try prior to I20.

Currently on Virtue:
Jinrazuo - Crab Spider
RWZ All-Pylon Solo Run
My Tanker, thanks to the Very Rare Warwork ACU + Vicky pet can now solo AVs and almost solo Giant Monsters with Shivans (got them down to 1/3rd of their life bar before the pets run out).
Also Pylon soloing time was 2 minutes.
Mind you that was with me standing away from the Pylon and taunting while the pets did all the hard work.
You know what we need? A thread to post our stories about stuff we did with our new Incarnate powers that we probably couldn't have done before getting our shiny new toys. (or at least would have been a lot harder, taken a lot more temp powers, etc.).
Can post here to brag, or to inform of what limits of possibility have been broken, or just to express amazement.
I'm sure once people aren't spending quite as much time on the Trials, we'll have level 50s with T4 Incarnate powers pointing out how they are taking down Recluse with a small team and towers still up, or soloing Romulus and his Nictus fluffies without pulling or shivans.
I'll start. The TL;DR version is: mostly soloing a Villain Respec on a tanker.
So, FemFury (my tanker) and Electroanagesia (SG mate), both being our main badgers, need those villain respec badges, which are now available as of Issue 20.
Not a lot of people on, so Electro uses her husband's and daughter's accounts to get two fillers, and we we start the high-end respec trial, planning to duo it.
Then, Electroanagesia had to take an extended AFK.
Hm. Tanker damage. Having to take out all those vines before they respawn. MIGHT be tricky.
Nope. With Judgement and Lore Pets, it was EASY. Quick, and Lore pets still around while tackling the Tree AV. Which also went down. Two more badger characters pushing a little more over the 1200 badge count.
Now, I'm sure there are plenty high-end IO-ed Scrappers that could have soloed the Thorn Tree room before Issue 19. But to do this with a Tanker without resorting to temp powers, and feeling that "didn't break a sweat" feeling. It was a bit of a "Wow" feeling for me.
Maybe I'm just easily impressed, though.
Anyone out there got some neat stories out there of new things your Incarnate can do that they couldn't do before? C'mon, blow our socks off with tales of your new awesomeness!
