There weren't any screenshots of anything on the overview page - which went back up about an hour ago.

Info about the hybrid incarnate slot from the livestram of the magisterium iTrial (straight from Posi):

Four trees:

Assault: Gives stacking increases to damage with each attack.

Control: Gives chance to do damage to controlled enemies or a chance to do more damage to enemies with low health (like containment and scourge).
...
Melee: Increases regen, defense or resistence (PBAoE like Rise to the Challenge).

Support: Is like all the leadership powers rolled into one (+acc, +damage, +defense, +special).

These are toggle powers.

Thanks for posting that, I had only caught the support tree info while I was listening in.

Wonder how end heavy these Toggles are. I see most, if not all of my scrappers with Assault.

So that would be all of the old praetorian AVs in some post-50 content...except Infernal? Between Apex, Tin Mage, Dark Astoria, Trials, everyone but Infernal, plus Pendragon is added? Or did I just miss him somewhere.

Apex - Battle Maiden
Tin Mage - Bobcat & Neuron
BAF - Seige & Nightstar
Lamda - Marauder
Keys - Antimatter
UG - No one
TPN - No one
MoM - Malaise & Mother Mayem
DD - Diablique
New one - Chimera, Shadow Hunter, Pendragon, Black Swan, and Tyrant
DA - Dominatrix

Shouldn't he be in Diablique's trial, given the patterns...or is the Sentinal supposed to be him?

The Sentinal is someone else that you meet during the DA storyline.

Meh, he just wanted to beat the resistance to the punch. We all know they would have done the same thing sooner or later.

True, they would've all long since been subsumed into the Devouring Earth, there to dwell in happy communion with the Will of the Earth.

That is assuming no Tyrant at all. If he'd been a bit less authoritarian but still present there probably would've been fewer plots by the Resistance to massacre random civilians. Fewer, not zero.

Curious about this too. I really hope Hybrid is included in the beta opening later this week.

That is the most logical post I have seen on this particular topic. Thank you so much.

Ah, I'm a little disappointed that Cole ended up nuking Praetoria. I was wondering if the devs were going to tackle the hanging plot threads after the end of the war, such as "If Tyrant is gone, what's to stop Hamidon from devouring the entire city?" (And yes, I know the whole reveal at the end of the Underground Trial. But even with that, he was still the last true line of defense).

The answer, I guess, is that it doesn't matter; Everyone's already dead. Oh well... hopefully Desdemonda was still in the tunnels with the Resistance or something, so they could be taken out too...

Where does it say ANYWHERE everyone is dead? Praetoria's a big city. He flattened Nova, yes, but doesn't mean everyone's dead. Good grief. It's not binary.

Well I think part of his reason for nuking them all is to 'save' them from Hamidon. He's saving them from a fate worse than death by.. giving them death.

Then again, given how entrenched all the troops are, you have to wonder exactly how many civilians were still hanging around. Then again, plenty enough to protest at the TPN >>

It's more a case of an "if I can't have it, then no one can" tantrum

The citizens all built shelters out of their rocks.

Of course it is. When has Praetorian content been anything BUT binary?

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Yeah, if they are smart they won't cost any end IMO, and rather work like Dual Pistols/Staff Fighting.

...but also, wouldn't it be best if EVERYONE takes the Support Tree for iTrials? Sure, make others for soloing or whatever.

EDIT: that newer link was just deleted too.
