Lore Choice


 

Posted

For several months I have had all 5 incarnate slots at tier 4, and have been using Radial Seers. My main is a fire/fire scrapper and I started making Phantoms as they do a bunch of fire damage and I notice the boss does a ridiculous amount of damage compared to my Seer boss - one of the attacks does over 700 damage.

Problem I am having besides having to return to iTrials (soon to be owned by Apple?) is that if I ever chose to run around farming the demon map that I now have a melee pet buffing their invincibility, and that adrenaline boost isn't perma unlike fortitude from seers.

Help me chose!

I tend to prefer going with an invincible buff pet over two damage pets as I already do insane damage - technically one shouldn't be able to out-damage a fire/fire scrapper with any other scrapper combo as it is.

As you can equip different lore pets (once you've made them), just . . . well, equip different ones for what you're doing? Run seers in your farm, phantoms everywhere else (or whatever).

That's true - what is it, a 5 min cooldown? Takes longer than that to run a mission anyway.

You can't switch them while the other is recharging. so 15 minutes between switching lores IF you use them.


The more people I meet, the more I'm beginning to root for the zombies.

And you can't switch if you've attacked or been attacked within 5 minutes. Sometimes it can take over 20 minutes to switch.

Possible Cheat: Does swapping builds reset the timer? I know it resets all cooldowns.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

...or how about just walking? I remember it would reset the Alpha when that was bugged.

That just might. However, you then have to wait another 15 min before you could swap back.

It's only 10 minutes. I have a couple of characters where I use this to reset my mission teleport. Because blueside taskforces and story arcs can be HELL the way they send you all over the place.

I tried this, and tried zoning. Neither work to reset the timer on lore swaps. Dunno on the other slots as I don't care to swap those out so often =)
