And people could always still take Scorpion Shield if they prefer that Energy Defense over Cold Resist. I was going to take Leviathan Mastery for my Ice/Cold Corruptor, until I needed the Scorpion Shield for more defense. I'd switch it to Ice Shield if I had Cold APP option.

Reward Merits are halved every time you run the same TF/Raid (Hami) in a 24 hour (think it's actually a bit less...23 or 22?) period.

I'm still waiting to see Razor Sword ported over to Katana

Elec/Shield Scrapper!? It's a fun combo. It's ST DPS can be decent, just grab that Electric Snipe from Mu Mastery. You'll solo AVs just fine, while enjoying some fun AOE!

I have that. But maybe mine is just all messed up and not working properly.

Then it's just mids not showing the change when the Incarnate is applied then?

It was all in Ice Blast, Freeze Ray and Bitter Ice Blast. However, the Agility Incarnate is the only recharge in those powers, so I am wondering if 33% just isn't enough to make a real change in the proc damage.

Does the +RCH from Incarnates still effect the damage of procs? My damage isn't changing in mids, when I select Agility for the Recharge, but I thought the damage goes down at that point. Or is it that the Agility +Recharge is the only recharge of the power, so it doesn't effect the damage?

Yes, but if by time sink you mean, can be done in 5 minutes, isn't much of a time sink. 😛

Longer than most? I just ran one that went quicker than Posi 1 and 2 I had done recently. Stealth viable missions and quick hunts.

Me too! But I've caught many not doing that when I pop in zone. 😛

Time sink? If it's taking a team of 8 that long to run those hunt missions, they're not trying. Spread out. Only takes forever when it's only part of the team doing the hunts while the rest going "I've got Talos!" Or even that one in the beginning going, "I've got Boomtown!" Whoever took out Steel Canyon hunt, should move to Boomtown. Everyone merges onto Talos. Terra Volta (hunt the packs near the door...not the sky captains flying in ships) > IP (likely with another already in IP waiting).

That part is to show you all the places you've been!

This was my thought.

I might suggest Kinetic Melee/Bio I've been enjoying mine. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1480;706;1412;HEX;| |78DA6593594F13511480EF2CA550DA42412808A5402D5DA843EB9371891B3611682| |421312ED13AD60126D44E331D12F91BBEF81B7CD49FE1FA07DC97041716B7441FCC| |78E69E73ED4426997E3DFBB9E79EA9DC9E0D2F2F974F32297AA6AEB75AD5A59AAD3| |79B86DD59597774C7B41ACC7B82F02684A95A31EA86A1CD9B0DC3316BD5538EA3D7| |D626FF59678D65A3D132B4D3A6553D6FAFE80DCFC7BE65D92CB2685975AD6CAEAC3| |A6663A5874B0B867ED3B05BAB66332CE42618BBD1B5EEF90E9F6D9A356DC9D1EB6B| |907EC95AAF572B7ACB31EC8D21682B03EFC518FC48BC5337C03664C6FA55A6563DA| |BCA3A520A63A52ED69146766688598F2A7B9E6A072B2C0EFF122A0BFD4063E82732| |FC1B79092A49A2924415C26B8C1BA354294A957AA9522F55BA0CC18A0856A6646EE| |CCB1273C87D79E2B4CC830629F90B683340C152E00E19EF225F8231283207B7B1DC| |D00E7117B9FF2BF11B72F43BF215047751B02BC15577331458B70B0F8B812A22924| |7FE303EA0D10189078F95F18C63E78873C8F1794CFE0692F788E09E4D548E7F247E| |424E7C267E216E21AFC1C0622238F61095A947C4C7C427C8034F89CF906FA172BFC| |46FD655FA0F9191EE758AEE35F30BA9C01907A8923CF09FD31439A9E014179B12A7| |016442C4083217450E82F33039B361727E073D8DD074A5915E858F32D787BC02A74| |D88D127EEE1CD5E07651237CE0D2469C172B460795AB03C2D589E16B2403BF31ECA| |4D52C6C0E409742A1CC6052B1C411E3C4A3C463C8E953F40705AF49AA65E67A857E| |F22B3E266B29B321A0B986146439666884562093377C168A6C541A769347DA0D4C4| |BCB409C623BC3D290ACF22DFC6A4DAFE5CDD519589C7F564B02FEC552DAA2202541| |2576D85DA59C86B7BAF6AC7A792D904CE4F9E93F890E50BD8F8AECF4962F461AAF4| |61CEE7DB077017C1B3245ABFEA1774BF70C32FDCF73E4E91E0B55F78E017FE02758| |4EF3B| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| No idea why I can never seem to export the IOs and levels as well, but only data chunk. My AOE is Burst and Bio abilities. As I mentioned in the Pylon Soloing Thread the ST is up there. Nice part of it, I'm hitting under 2:30 pylon times with no need of Hasten (and trying to perma it) using CS > SB > BB > QB > Moonbeam > Repeat Yes, CS needs a cut in animation time. I'd say at least down to Total Focus time. It doesn't crit damage, it's crit resets Power Siphon. Lastly, while I LOVE LOVE LOVE the animation of Focused Burst, it needs work. 😞 For a ranged attack, I'm better off with Moonbeam. Could be usable as a KD, but then that's all it'd be and you might be better off with Repulsing Torrent with a KB to KD IO for a defensive attack.

I did try to keep an eye on Power Siphon buff, but after a bit I was just hitting it when it recharged. Still, would be nice if Concentrated Strike went down to the same animation time as Total Focus minimum.

So, did a run, this time, without Assault (wanted to see the difference) and managed to hit a 2:22 (hitting Ablative Carapace once) for 398, using the CSCS > MB > SB > BB > QB > SB > Repeat Now, this isn't to say Assault wouldn't make for a better DPS, however, not so sure it's worth keeping if you have another option, for either more defense or utility.

But then we can't sell them for lots!

You'll have to figure out how to make the difference between Axe and Fire Melee.

While I didn't feel CS crit that often, I did hit it every time it was recharged. As I did the runs, I did wonder if that was best idea. If it was active at the moment, I didn't figure it stacked and may be wasted. Also, I had no hasten in the build, so it was all able to be done without having to dip into that pool power, so that was nice.

So went about making a KM/Bio/Soul Scrapper on test Musculature Radial - Hybrid (Not activated) - Reactive Radial CS > MB > SB > QB > BB > SB > Repeat 3:39 (forgot to activate Genetic Contamination and Offensive Adaption) for 311.3 DPS 3:12 (forgot to activate Offensive Adaption) for 327.5 DPS 2:23 (finally remembered to activate them both) for 396 DPS SB > BB > QB > MB > SB > BB > QB > Repeat 2:28 for 387 DPS Did this because I was thinking of trying KM/BIO Scrapper. With the first one, I put Critical Strike Set in Concentrated Strike. With the second one, I put Critical Strike Set in Smashing Blow. This obviously wasn't equal to @SomeGuy who pulled off a 1:35, but I thought I'd test out a build to see how it worked out. Doesn't seem that Kinetic Melee is that low on the DPS.

For a blaster, I think you may have to pick a few different attacks, but on my DP/NIN Sentinel, I have 4 Procs (Dual Wield having the +RCH Proc in it as one of the procs), +5 ACC/DAM Gladiator's Javelin (also use it's proc, so get the 2.5% Recovery bonus) and a +5 Basic Damage IO. 286 DPS (4min 2second pylon time) on the Sentinel. I believe at 3 Damage Procs on DP/NIN Sentinel, that was a 230ish DPS. So, a pretty decent jump in DPS. I'd imagine it would help on a Blaster as well.

Has anyone done a Bio/EM Tank Pylon run? Got 1:35 on my EM/BIO Scrapper. So wondering the difference if it's a Tanker.

Took everything in Tactical on my Archery/Tactical Blaster EXCEPT ESD Arrow. Glue Arrow I use regularly with Explosive Arrow for my AOE (and of course Rain of Arrows), what I didn't take was Fist Full Of Arrows in the Primary. There is of course Oil Slick Arrow. Flash Arrow I don't use to often, but it's there for the set bonuses. Ice Arrow for when I need a hold.

From what I recall reading, the proc mechanics aren't wasted on that Proc anymore. Each on their own timer. Though, like you I attune, so when I said +5 Heal IO, was talking of just a basic IO and not another of the set (Numina). Which also, I was wondering if the resists would be better than the +10 or 12% Regen buffs.
