You're clicking Borea too many times. Levantera sends you to Borea. Borea gives you a mission to kill 10 Rikti in the zone and then go back to Levantera. HOWEVER, if you click on Borea AGAIN (before OR after completing the hunt) she will give you ANOTHER mission. THIS mission has nothing to do with Levantera's arc and simply unlocks Borea as a repeatable mission contact. You do not need to do ANY missions for Borea besides the Hunt 10 Rikti mission.

On one of my Blasters I use the Scorpion Shield armor from the Mace Mastery Patron Pool, and I also use the Summon Spiderlings power. I do NOT have or use any of the actual Mace attacks. I would really like a customization option to Summon Spiderlings WITHOUT drawing and displaying the Arachnos Mace.

Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

These sound like bugs to me. There is nothing in public facing documentation saying MM pets have any prereqs besides being summoned and upgraded.

Yes! I should at some point make some additions to the guide for sure, including that anyone can enter RV at lvl 1 from either Atlas or Gville. I should point out, however, that RV raising your level to 50 has nothing to do with it. When you enter RV your character gains knowledge of the existence of time travel, after which the Orobouros organization gets in touch with you.

I know that realistically Assault Rifle IS the Blast Set version of Arsenal Control, but it would be neat to have a Blast set that, sort of like Seismic Blast, is more about launched munitions rather than directed projectiles, with a tier 9 that is some sort of Orbital Strike.

I agree it would be a mistake to make an MM support pet that didn't contribute sufficiently to damage, and for the same reason, that's what the secondary is for.

The other sets mostly work like this too. Thugs LTs with their leadership. Mercs Medic. Beasts' Lionesses with their team buffs. I think Necro and Ninjas are the exceptions, and they both get CC heavy Boss pets.

"Have you tried NOT being a glitch?"

Contact offered me "Defeat Unlucky Pete and his helpers" but when I took the mission it turned into "Defeat Faizan and his helpers" only now I'm in the mission and it is Unlucky Pete after all.

While I think that some members of our community excessively devalue the contributions of non-dps class features, I also think that non-dps class features are often overvalued by the devs. I agree that dps differences should be Reduced but not Removed. Someone with no CC or Buffs SHOULD be doing more damage than someone who has those abilities, but not by SO much that the CC and Buffs are deemed valueless.

This does not reflect my experience.

None of my lvl 50 Blasters use their t1 or t2 on cooldown. Only as a filler when everything else is down. When safe to be in melee my Energy/Energy Blaster uses Sniper Blast, Total Focus, Energy Punch, Bone Smasher, once in a while Power Burst and once in a REALLY long while, Power Bolt. So yes, I USE t1 or t2, but not on cooldown, making them poor choices for proccing.

Most Blasters will avoid using their t1 or t2 in a high dps chain.

I wouldn't want to sacrifice the DPS by using my t1 on cooldown. Putting it in whatever attack you already plan to use the most is the best idea. If that HAPPENS to be t1 or t2, then great! That hasn't been the case for me.
