Second Tier 4

I hope this is not the height of rudeness (as some folks dont even have 1 T4), but now that I am X5 I was wondering what other folks were going to go for as a second T4 in something, as a sort of backup. I am thinking that as a Blaster I should go for the Destiny-Clarion. I went Barrier for my first one cuz it was so sweet. And it has turned out to be a good choice. But if I am soloing, especially regular mish's, I am thinking that I want the Mez protection more. Then I am thinking another pet as well. What are you guys doing.

And just so there is no question, NO, you cannot slot TWO Enh's in one slot. I am thinking of changing them up as the situation changes or foes change.

There's no reason you can't do it, but there is a cooldown timer which may make swapping them out inconvenient.

You cannot swap an incarnate power out while is currently in use or recharging, and there *may* be an additional time factor (like the 15 minutes for switching builds) but I'm not sure on that second part.

Yes. I was just wondering if folks were gonna be going for a second T4 in something, and if so what they thought would help them the best.

And the only timer I am familiar with is the slotting one which is a few minutes at most. Which wouldnt be an issue say, before entering a mish, getting on a Hami raid, or a mothership raid for instance. PLENTY of time to swich out a slot then.

I am. On my ss/fire brute I have barrier and ageless depending on the situation. Also have Ion judgement until it gets fixed then I have pyro as a back up for thematic reasons.

I can't speak for others, but my set-up is currently this on my main Incarnate:

Purple : Alpha, Destiny, Lore
Orange : Judgement, Interface

I'm basically stopping there because it is good enough for what I want to do with him and am now going to concentrate on my second Incarnate.

I am thinking about getting Barrier on my fire/kin corr to go with her Clarion.

Clarion is great while solo, vs enemies who mez (and it only needs tier3 to be perma). But sometimes I'll be on a team with an Emp who keeps the squishies CMd, or against mobs that don't mez all that often, and i feel like Barrier would do more good.

I'm also tempted to pick up, at the very least, T1 or 2 of Ion Judgement, just to get some lulz out of it while its still bugged to hell. (Fulcrum Shifted Ion Judgement is glorious)

Definitely going for multiple T4s. Having options is nice. I had Cardiac and Musculature T4s prior to I20.

For Lore I've got T4 Warworks and Clockworks because they're both useful in different situations. Judgement, I've got at least T3s in all 4 and will eventually max them all just for fun. Destiny, I really don't see myself using anything other than Barrier. Interface, no point in getting anything other than DoT/-RES, IMO.

Currently sit at..

T4 Ion
T4 Barrier
T4 Diamagnetic
T4 Warworks
T4 Seer

Want the extra options of all Psi Damage pets if I needed it.

I only have 3 incarnates, so I will be getting numerous T3s before working on T4s for most of them. As it is, I have a bunch of T3/4 Alphas and working on multiple T3s for other slots.

As you mentioned, it's always nice to have a pocket Clarion for a squishy with no mez protection. It was first priority for my Blaster and Corruptor. I figure it would be great on MSRs, solo, and when the team can't help me. If I know in advance, I can switch out. I figure Barrier is gonna be very common, so it's not too important for me, because there's diminishing returns as I recall.

I was just posting in a VEAT incarnate thread about my Fort/Widow slots, which are all different from each other. I'm sure as people get more knowledgeable, it will be nice to cooperate by mixing and matching your incarnate slots to maximize team effectiveness. It probably won't be necessary, but it could result in significant team effectiveness if done properly.

Your post is a bit insulting to those that have done close to 100 trials and YET to see a single VERY RARE.

The character I picked to "incarnate out" fist is a Fire/Fire tank. He was Alpha T4 very quickly and had close to 200 shards in the bank for this edition.

He got rares occasionally when the edition first came out....but now that many people have their judgements and (many with the "broken" ion ones at that) it is extremely hard to break out of the uncommon trap.

So far all the rares I have gotten were on Lambda's. I did buy one for 100 mill and requirements; as well as used 8 E merits for onother.

That got me to Tier 3 on all 4 of the new incarnates. I have since gotten to Tier 3 on 3 ofthe 4 in anticipation of getting a Very rare.

You may say bad build or i suck as a player...but I speed run the ITF missions without cascade def failure. He is soft cap def in S/L and melee and has 5 pbaoes fully slotted and 3 st attacks....

I play very aggressively - Im in every mob, guns and tank maurader just fine. I can also solo the container mobs. Really doesn't seem to matter what i do.

But I can't get the Very Rare. Most tanks don't. Brutes seem to get VR's occasionally or a LOT.

WAI - random...bull crap.

At least with a Hami raid or STF - I was going to get something I could use or trade.

But if I really want T 4 in all 4 slots...its either 1.6 billion or 120 MORE trials.

Now, with the rant over I would probably get a different interface...as a fire tank I went reactive for the extra damage...but if I went debuff then I might do a different destiny than barrier like the endurance one for - end suckers.

I did Barrier and Rebirth. Rebirth benefits me more solo, and in small teams or easier tasks where we don't really need anything. I treat it as a self, full HP heal. But I find that Barrier is more useful to a team and for more difficult tasks. This is also on a widow who has no use for Clarion, though.

Never gotten a Very Rare yet and I have done multiple trials every day, working my butt off as a fire/fire scrapper.

2 tier 3s in Interface
2 tier 3s in Destiny
1 rare away from 2 tier 3s in Lore
1 tier 3 in Judgment

I guess Empyreans are the only way I am ever getting there. Been through many successful MoBAF runs and I've only gotten two rares period, and never been on one where anyone reported getting a Very Rare.

Still working on the I20 Incarnate stuff, but I am (very slowly) working on a T4 Cardiac, as I find Cardiac to be great for soloing, but prefer Spiritual for teaming.

I hope to eventually fill all the T4s in my Alpha slot, though, as there are situations where all are useful (though Nerve is probably on the bottom of my list - as a Controller, the 30% accuracy from my purple inventions, the inherent boost to accuracy in many of my powers, and the huge amount of Def Debuff I get from being a controller makes boosts to accuracy pretty much unnecessary)

T4 Pyro Judgement
T4 Barrier Destiny
2xT3 Rebirth destiny (waiting for a VR part to go T4)
2XT3 Warworks Lore (same)
T3 Reactive interface
(I think) T2 reactive Interface
