Having tested a few Circle missions on three characters, Ice/Nature Corr, SS/Regen Brute, and Merc/Thermal MM at +4x8 I will say I like most of the changes to the Circle. Obviously the mastermind struggled sometimes, but it wasn't too frequent and it was easy to recover. The variety in new enemy types makes them more interesting to fight. I think the only thing I have an issue with the changes is on the rare occasion a group spawns with two ruin mages and two death mages and they decide to drop a double earthquake and tar patch and have enough CC to get through even a melee ATs mez protection. Maybe their spawns should be limited to 1 max per group? The exploding magi are definitely an issue for pets if/when they all explode one after the other, but enemies that explode have always been an issue for pets. Overall, the Circle feel like a fair challenge now and more interesting to fight even if we do still need a lot of insight inspirations at times to fight off the -tohit.

The Council with these current changes are tedious and a slog to fight simply due to the new Galaxy units that I'd almost prefer fighting Arachnos at this point. The sheer amount of -rech stacking the Galaxies do now is far too much, the self-heal and autohit rez drag things out and the rez itself is extremely punishing to squishier ATs due to its autohit nature. Mastermind players in particular will suffer tremendously because a single Galaxy Archon rez can wipe out nearly their entire group of pets at +4x8. The spawn limit for Galaxy units absolutely needs to be addressed and the damage portion of their rez should have a chance to miss or have its damage value reduced. Aside from the changes to Galaxies, I think the new Dark Equinoxes and improved normal Council enemies are fine in their current state.

It seems like the Changeling build post linked on page 3 has been removed. Would it be possible to post it again? Also I see in your videos you have macro icons on your power trays. How do I create those?

I am getting this error anytime I try to open Mids or any saved builds since the latest Windows update. Anyone have a idea what I should do to fix it? Uninstall and reinstall seemed to work.

Would you happen to have a melee-focused Ice/Elec Blaster build or be able to make one?

I get this message as well whenever I try to open any of my saved builds or builds posted in discord and forums.
