Something that I learned tonight is that you can *Taunt* the bomb grates to get the same aggro bump as brawling them. This has the advantage of range and it does less damage to the grates. Also, on Indomitable we have noticed that if the Tanks pull enough Rikti into the bowl that the overlapping mez becomes a problem, then the raid leader will pull the tanks back into the bowl to help kill what we pulled, and we get more merits!

Can confirm, on Indomitable server. It's happening often enough that folks are looking at the person in the team window under them to see if the team will have a lvl 50 lead when (not if) they crash. This may not be too useful, but I have noticed when I crash and then log back in, the animations and movement of everything is crisp and clear.

The Praetorian Story Arc: Project Phoenix (18.26 in the Ouroboros menus, seems to be called "The Power To Control" on Paragonwiki.com) does not give the final mission after talking to Praetor Sinclair. I noticed this while leveling up but figured I had just made some wrong choice, but the same thing happens in a Flashback. Of course, this blocks a badge, and so it's pretty irritating :)

I have a lvl 50+9 Vet lvls Super Strength/ Invulnerability Brute. With all of my lvl 50 IOs and my Incarnate powers running, this is a pretty fun character. Exemplared down to do a task force, I feel slow and weak. I have fallen into the habit of just not using Rage, which isn't a satisfactory answer. In the meantime, I have made a new non-Super Strength Brute. I'm very glad to see that a GM has touched base in this thread. Hopefully, it will be decided to just remove the -Def penalty in the crash, but if not I'm glad the community will have a chance to be heard. To that end, my first suggestion is to just remove the -def part of the crash and gather data. If in 6 months' time, Super Strength has overtaken the game and no other kind of characters are being played, then we'll have a proper dataset to tell us where to make adjustments. If not, then leave it alone. All things aside, I'm so grateful to even have a reason to have this discussion :)
