This Incarnate Stuff is Crazy!

Sorta. Not more than a few days after I finally T4ed my Alpha, did I realize that going Cardiac would actually help my main a lot more... considering in the BAF Prisoner phase, he was gasping for wind and popping blues more often than I would like. So, I eventually got it to T3... and am still chasing Shards and such to get it to T4.

Cardiac is my one true love. It makes sets more playable because you have more endurance to work with, and as such can attack for longer, run more toggles, so on.
aye, the cardiac alpha tree is made of win and awesome. I have it on my 2 incarnate lv50s; my other lv50 (a ma/sr scrapper who has unlocked the alpha and thats it) has muscular but then he has pretty much no end issues anyway.

Nerve is nice for defense heavy builds.
It also frees up a lot of your enhancement slots from Accuracy concerns, so it can be pretty nice.
And with Ageless getting introduced, it's really easy to manage your recovery now.

Cardiac is simply the single best overall Alpha.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

I can smash more with spiritual
Cardiac is awesome. Have it on my MasterSpider VEAT and am running seven or so toggles with no end difficulties at all. Such a great Alpha.
The Incarnate stuff overall is crazy. The BAF and Lambda are somewhat to little challenge now with T3d characters, Keyes still hurts as of persistent damage aura, but I imagine even that will be overcome soon enough...
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
You see...I went a little nuts. I have three incarnates, two of which I sort of ignored and one in which I think I went a little overboard with. When I mean overboard I mean I went trial hungry.
She deserves the best! She deserves to be epic, and gosh darn it she is.
2 Alphas Tier three. Nerve (For no apparent reason) and Cardiac Teir Three (Which I love as a control based support blast toon! I hardly ever change out of it unless i need some extra defense but thats rare)
Tier 3 Void Judgement without the knockback but the - Damage people on my team take
Tier 3 Reactive interface (Never use it, but have it) and Tier 3 Paralytic - Def and Damage debuff
Lore pets Tier three...Ralaruu...
I literally went insane, and now just unlocked destiny and well...there is nothing there I really want. Barrier I guess...but thats about all.
So yeah...the stuff is nuts. On the downside...It takes time (Not much actually) and sort of makes level 50 content not so much fun as it was before I IOed, turned into a goddess and travel with giant eyeballs.
If you have a nuke, Ageless is the best Destiny power. Crashless nuke ftw!

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
My Mace/Shield Brute has Cardiac and loves it.
My MA/Regen namesake has Spiritual and it's perfectly matched.
Mu Plant/Thorns Dominator is a complete terror with t4 Musculature.
Nearly every pick I've made has covered a major issue with each character and pushed them over the top into ridiculous mode. It's possible I may chance the Brute to Nerve and Ageless though, that seems like an equally viable option to Spirit Rebirth.

Hahaha, most people would think I went nuts, but most of stuff I have was just because I was working on one thing and then discovered something shinier before I could t4. I -just- t4'd Nerve, but much to my dismay, without Cardiac, my bane spider drains endurance really, really, really fast. Gotta stick to Cardiac until I can finish IOing out my new build (which will have better end management), then I can Nerve my way to victory!

Why?
I never want to think about my blue bar again!
Ever!
And now...I don't
Plus it's just the more bang for your buck Alpha.

Depends on the character. My illusion/empathy never runs out of Endurance due to Recovery Aura (it's up 90 seconds, then down ~30) has more global recharge than I need (PA is more than perma) and has Tactics for extra ToHit. Musculature is the Alpha to go for me.

The only thing I got from this thread...
Incarnate threads are now called Rainbow Bacon.
Too much epic win to be ignored, That is all.
50Soulsunder: DM/Regen Scrapper
50Limitshift: EM/WP Brute
Victoria Nox: Dark/Dark Dominator
And about 5 others that change constantly...

Cardiac is nice, I like Spiritual for the healing boost on other things

My fire/Shield scrapper has T4 Cardiac, 2 T4 Lores (Clockwork and Cimerorian) T4 Reactive Interface. T4 Pyronic, and T4 Destiny Heal (can't think of the name atm)
Never have to worry about endurance, Reactive gives that extra DoT and -Res and if I do take a hit or two I can heal!
The pets only come out against certain AVs if I solo them.
Now all I need is more Rainbow Bacon on my Kin/Rad

Now, I'm not NEW to it or anything, I have a t4 cryonic (and t3 pyronic), t4 cardiac, t4 rebirth (and t3 barrier), t3 cimerorans (and t3 seers), and t4 diamagnetic (and t3 reactive just in case I need the fire proc). I've done a lot of work!
Well, today, I was fiddling around in Mids, and, much to my dismay, I discovered changing from Cardiac to Nerve on my Bane Spider would put me over the Incarnate defense cap. Guess I'll have to spend the next three days grinding rainbow bacon!
Have any of you had similar experiences?
