Damn it!!!!
I just bought two packs and the very first one has Brute's ATO. ugh.. this is addicting and I hate it!
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
What's this "catalysts" I keep reading about? I got Brute's Very Rare ATO. I can covert it into something better like the Superior version? How do I do that?

I got a 24 pack with my existing points and then threw down $50 to pick up 3 more 24 packs, totaling 96 overall. I only got two of the AOs for my character (and sold the rest for nearly 2 billion, more than sufficiently financing the purchase of the rest) and got the complete Elemental Order set. However, there was no Black Wolf to be found. I declare shinnanigans.

Haven't even gotten a catalyst yet, but from what I understand you can convert your slotted ATO to a "Superior (purple)" ATO, giving it increased stats.|

Caveat: regular ATOs and Superior ATOs are treated as separate sets, so you'll want to convert all of the ATOs in a set (all the ones you have slotted) to get all of the bonuses. Also, once converted they are account-bound, you can e-mail to yourself but can't sell or trade them away.

Also: Using a catalyst sets the minimum level of the ATO to 50 rather than 10.

Oh... so if I want to enjoy ATO starting at lvl 10, I shouldn't convert it to "super" then. |

If you slot it already in a power, you can covert it using catalyst right? You don't need to un-slot it and then convert it?
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

The superior versions are essentually purple enhanements, and so they have the same rules as other purple sets:|

You can only use them at 50.
You keep the set bonuses no matter how low you exemplar.
Also, most the enhancement values and set bonuses are akin to purples too.

Oh, I didn't know that purple sets still give you the set bonuses if you get maled down lower than 3 levels. Good to know! |

Thanks for the info.

I bought the 24 pack of Super Packs...
I got all the costume pieces by the 16th pack.
4 Catalysts (3 of the Catalysts were in the first 6 packs).
A total of 9 ATOs (most of them dropped after I got the majority of the costume pieces)
950 reward merits.
And on my 21st pack I got the Black Wolf pet.
Overall, I was happy with what I got and the pet was a great bonus but I'm done with the packs. I got everything I wanted and the rest I can buy on the market or get as a drop in a high level TF.
@Macro
got all my costume pieces and wolf after 48 packs, bought another 24 to get a total of 7 catalysts to make the full superior corruptor set for Turbo-Ski.
All I got to say, what the heck am I supposed to do with all these temps and inspiration I never use!?!

I'm still missing one costume part (and, as expected, no wolf).
To be fair, though, I got 18 ATOs in 24 packs.

FWIW, this doesn't work for me. I don't think I could articulate why at the moment, but using limited resources up makes me unhappy, and is a kind of antifun. I would be more likely to delete them, but even that makes me unhappy.|

I would, quite seriously, much rather simply never acquire them. (Note that this correlates with my purchase thus far of roughly zero Super Packs.)
