Ah hah, thank you!

In one of the posts in this thread, the following is mentioned, but not explained: "With Foresight slotted properly you can get close to 27% DDR". How do you slot Foresight to increase it's DDR value beyond it's base?

I'm vaguely aware of stuff like task forces/strike forces. Wasn't aware of the schedule though, that's good info.

Nah, not getting powerlevelled. Just running missions/story arcs at a relatively high speed. I rolled this character on Saturday, up to 41 now. My priority is basically "hit 50 with relatively good enhancements". I don't need to be fully geared by then, just don't want to be completely ungeared/broke either. I seem to be on the right path for that.

Thanks guys. I'm planning to keep it on til 50, just didn't want to miss out on alot of inf. Though, tbh, I'm doing fine by converting merits to inf. Already got both ATO sets, a smattering of end recovery stuff, 4 def abilities slotted with 1 lotg/5 red fortune, etc. It's looking like I might actually be able to afford to get to softcap def and perma hasten a bit before 50.

I've read that sometime after level 40, the amount of inf you get from missions starts going up pretty dramatically. When does that occur, and is it worth giving up the 2x XP for? I just hit 40 with the buff on, using it pretty much the entire way. Because it disables inf gain, I've been specifically running story arcs that give reward merits, then flipping those for inf. That's been fairly profitable, and I'm buying set enhancements with it as I go. Basically, I'm wondering if the inf increase will be enough to justify not using the XP buff.

I'm playing Invuln, so if I understand things correctly, I've got 3 powers where I could slot LotG right in my base kit. Two more useful ones shouldn't be hard to find.

So, I ended up going ahead and crafting/AHing out a set of "common" IOs. Pretty noticeable performance increase, and I only spent 2 of my 7.5 mil. For attacks, I went 3 dam, 1 acc, 1 end, 1 rech. Might tweak that a bit as I go(eg I might throw another acc in if I'm missing too much). For passives, I just put in more of whatever stat they boost. For toggles, mostly I'm at a single -end in each so far. I'll probably start working in including set IOs as I level. When it comes to sets, what do I need to know? My current understanding of high priority set IOs to go for: For endurance recovery, Panacea/Performance Shifter. For recharge, Luck of the Gambler(sounds kinda like I want to slot this in as many places as I can fit it). Archetype enhancements. I'm playing a Stalker, so both of the procs from these sound incredible. Anything else I should prioritize? And what do I need to know about buying/crafting/slotting them?

So, I'm probably around an hour away from hitting level 22. Alot of posts say that it's a good idea to craft level 25 enhancements at level 22, and use them all the way up to 50. I see I basically have two options to craft. Basic single stat ones, and "sets". Which are they suggesting I make? FWIW, I have around 7 million inf, and could probably convert my reward merrits to 12-13mil more.
