The thinking originally was that the WS was better against groups of foes than he was against Elite Bosses, which the Ramiel arc has a few of. Rather than doing the arc (which I'd just done on my Ice/Time troller and had done on another half-dozen characters) I'd head straight for DA. It wasn't completely that I didn't think I could do the arc, I just really didn't feel like being bothered with it. I actually wanted something a little more mindless.|

I suppose if you didn't have any Knockback (or Veteran Powers for Nemesis Staff) it would keep you from knocking him in lava (which does still work at least as of a month or so ago) but calling someone else in for help would still seem a LOT faster than doing trials and wasting your Astrals. You need to do a ton of trials as it is, why not do the one arc you can do instead, if only to keep your brain from exploding? |
Oh, and calling someone else for help isn't really my style. I just generally don't interact much in-game.
I did some street sweeping (which was fun - groups are big enough to keep me well buffed) and after a little while figured I could try the arcs. Sure, those also have elite bosses, but most of the time you have NPC help. Plus I could work on getting components in the process. Only...I couldn't, because I couldn't actually start the arcs (which does make sense - because I wasn't yet an incarnate). So I went back to street sweeping, but did so while in the queue. Which eventually got me into a BAF, after a pretty sizable chunk of time.
"Wasting" Astrals isn't really an issue. I ran a decent amount of BAF/Lamda on my Grav/Storm (an Ill/TA too, but he's on another account) and she probably has plenty of them sitting around doing very little.
"You need to do a ton of trials as it is" - well, actually the hope was that with the new solo option I wouldn't have to. Which technically I don't, but boy does it help to unlock the slots.
Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level
