Regeneration player, “It was here that I learned that there can be no true despair without hope”.

This. These are also extremely useful when Exemplaring and such. In addition, the market has a handy ability to convert crafted IOs into Attuned, so you can always sell any crafted ones that you have and buy them back Attuned.

Your other option is to go with S/L or Melee Defense and run the S/L ones instead of Fire. Then, you can easily do both without any other changes to be made.

Place a Panacea unique in Health at level 7, a Miracle unique at level 17 and a Numina’s Convalescence unique at 27. In addition, add a Performance Shifter: Chance for End into Stamina (and slot with whatever Endurance setup you prefer after). These require minimal slotting and will go a long way to covering most of your endurance issues down the line.

Last TF run with my Beam Rifle/Invul: Blaster: “Does anyone have any wakies?”. Me: “What’s that?”.

Yes, Willpower is definitely worth playing.

This is the first thing to be done just before the leveling begins.

This. I was very happy that I didn’t have to both wait until 20 and also complete the Imperious Task Force in order to have my main’s primary costume.

Willpower takes Regen’s lunch money and makes it walk home with no shoes.

Just to clear this up. Stalker Willpower exchanges Quick Recovery for Hide, which makes it just as susceptible to Endurance issues as most other Secondaries. Even so, it’s still a perfectly serviceable secondary with Invention Origin slotting.

This might be the solution to simulate being able to obtain more power sockets.

Why use weapons when we can use our hands (and feet)?

It’s likely a sense of “I earned it so I should always be able to use it”. Honestly, it’s likely easier to make adjustments to future content than it is to anything current, however, I wouldn’t complain if they: 1. Dumped the level shifts beyond the Alpha Slot (I could live with no level shifts, however, this is the compromise). 2. Limit Dark Astoria to 50s. The zone is supposed to be a solo path for Incarnate content, not a sidekick golfcart.

I PUG a great deal, Tex, and I assure you that most of the playerbase that I have encountered isn’t fighting +4s as their standard challenge. This past morning, I joined a full Citadel where I was the only one with any Set bonuses of any kind and those teams are quite common on Excelsior. This. We all need to keep in mind that Paragon Studios never had the chance to give us the years of content to go with all of the Incarnate-level power that we currently possess. Lucky us that we have someone devoted to continuing content into the future and I’m sure that @Piecemealwill be happy to accommodate.

Fold Space is our friend. Our ally. It will gather up the mess immobilize spam creates and, I have to say that it’s hilarious pulling a mob that just falls over from the nukes as it reappears.

This. Until the doors close, always this.

Whaaaaat?

Kheldians. I need both to finish off my full ATs at 50 set.

Agreed. In addition, everyone is aware of this being the case since Page 4, yes?

The opinion of a Blaster player making fun of playing content specifically designed to ruin melee isn’t even worth the energy to worry about.

AFK Farmer tears are one of the ingredients in the Immortality Elixir, so I have to find at least a few.

True and it’s a pity since that would be the easy way out.

AE is completely wasted on being a farming hub when it could be used to make more of that challenging content balance that is being discussed here. Get rid of rewards for AE aside from Dev’s Choice (which would make Infernal and Drek happy as they are likely so lonely after all of these years) and make it the “difficult content” hub.

AE is not the best way to earn Influence, however other than that, this is absolutely right. AE could use either a rethink or a shutdown.
