Sapphire Lotus

Torchbearite here. While I see tons of DFB runs, I also see many Posi 1/2 runs as well. Maybe not as prolific as DFB, but DFB is super accessible right when you get in. I also have no issue teaming on any of the toons ive made, even the ones that cant solo. I just dont see the reasoning to restrict players, as one previous poster said. Options, not limits.

It is currently at 50% of normal exp or are you wanting more of a nerf?

Any builds people might post as a baseline to work off of? :)

What incarnates would you slot for this character?

Of course, I never intended to imply that other builds weren't great. Simply wanted to give thanks for your layout and explanation; it really made things easy to understand and figure out how things work. Once again kudos!

Fair enough. Just for your information this is what is coming out on my end :) This build and your others look amazing, thank you for the time and effort you put into them. Its appreciated. :)

Flip to Alternate on both builds in opening post, just removes all the enhancements. I can flip back and it shows the original build.

I am as well interested in a more general content build at 50.

Thank you for this, gives me a decent idea where I went wrong with the leveling process. I have since also picked up Burn and Impale as well at 30 and 32.
