Long answer: They're all very good powers and none are worth skipping over. It makes for a tight build sometimes, but hey, that's the breaks.
Also, with all the questions you've been asking about Bio, you should just jump onto Beta and test it out. I will come into TeamSpeak and berate you if I have to.

I'd say that parasitic aura is skippable. It's one of those powers that has no downside and is useful with even one slot, but if your build is tight, I can see skipping it due to its high recharge.

Okay, maybe I overreacted with that. It's just that I think PA is so good.
But, if you're working with a toon that's IO'd to the gills, I could see skipping it.

Now here's the REALLY tough question. You have the tightest build in history and have to drop either DNA siphon or ablative carapace. Choose now. Two 90 second recharging panic buttons go in, only one comes out.
i love the bio armor set. most interesting thing they've done for melee in awhile. i will be playing it to 50 as well.
largo-a bio armor fan
thank you devs!

Quick question: Is Bio-Armor still on the test server? I logged in late last week and none of the new sets (Bio Armor, Nature Affinity) were on. 
Have I missed it or did I log in too early (I've always had problems being premature! )

Beta server, yes - but you have to "buy" it off the market (for 0 points) to see it.

That could well be where I'm going wrong. Wasn't even aware there was a Beta server! hehehe.
Thanks for the info!

Parasitic Aura is definitely skippable. Other than that, no. Every power is essential for survival, even Genetic Contamination.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Ok, now I'm confused. I've downloaded and patched the Beta server and there are no new powersets on it. What did I do wrong? I've checked the store and found no reference to unlocking the beta.

I'm still at work so I can't double-check, but on beta you won't see it show up in the list when you go to make a new character until you go into the Paragon Market and buy it.
It's probably not listed under "new" anymore, so I think it's Powers/Powersets(?) and then from there just pick the options until it shows up (I think melee sets?). I guess it's conceivable that they removed it from the market on beta and left the characters who already had it active rather than disabling them, but I don't find that likely.

Hopefully that's got Space_Monkey settled and playing a new character on beta.

Parasitic Aura is skippable, but really, I can only see a few Powerset Combos where that's even an issue.
Once again, thanks for the help!
