I appreciate your acknowledgement of it regardless. Next time just do a better job at being hosts rather than focusing on explicit information when there was nothing to be confused of - you weren't unclear. The post said to make a reply on here OR ingame. You simply failed to follow through on your end for those of us waiting on a response or a reach out from the judges. At the very least it was your guy(s) and gal(s) responsibility to make sure everyone who followed your protocol had a chance to properly be involved.

3) 2 judges from the Vanguard League will begin scheduling tours about 2 weeks before the awards. Bases will be judged broadly on Theme, Creativity and Technical merit by each judge. The consensus of the committee is final. When was this? Because I didn't hear from anyone about tours at all.

SG Name: Cu Sidhe Wilds Base name: Twisted Weald (can't change it in game?) Code: Sidhe-12413 SG lead Global: @Nashlani (main account) The twisted weald is a faerie forest meant to be a save haven to fae of all kinds. Seelie, Unseelie - better or worse. She is backed by a small army of drow in permanent secrecy to keep the home base guarded from invaders. These dark assassins are empowered by the forest's need of death in balance and tandem with all things. Wandering the forests will lead you here as the path is open to fae or friend of fae. (Three levels - First is the 'spawn' point where people see the tree and feel the effects of the twisted essence of the place by feeling stuck and lost. > A guide is almost needed as the first level goes through two tests. The initial 'lost woods' inspired 'find the right path' test. If that's failed you head to the hedgemaze and find your way out! Wrong paths will be dead ends or return the player to the entrance. Second layer/map is the hedgemaze which leads to the fae springs If you pass the path/rock test or make it through the hedgemaze, you find the tree in it's true glory. A golden haze protects it as it radiates with foliage and life. A home for the faeries as the tree has railings and ramps - leaving the golden haze returns the user to the unprotected region of the home. )

Awesome, so I guess the real issue is that we are forced to utilize the support hybrid if we want any further benefit for our pets. I am focused more on CC with my alpha slot atm unfortunately but I suppose that's why usual groups @ +4x8 don't really pose much of a threat, just take a bit to break. And AV's are well.. Similar ordeal but if you take 30m to kill one even with 3 necro/dark MM's, then it's an issue of damage for certain. -- Appreciated regardless. Thank you for the response. I'll be sure to share this info with the others.

No need to be hostile to someone who is commenting on something you said. Why even make a post if you're just going to be snarky to the first person who replies? Anyway... I'm not really sure what you are trying to say. Masterminds have the same incarnate options available to them as everyone else. No single powerset in the game is benefited by every single Alpha/Interface/Destiny/Hybrid ability but there is always one that will work for you. I personally have played several MMs at the incarnate level and never had any qualms with the options there. I've also never once had someone reject a MM from a team, or even express dislike for them beyond when pets block a doorway or something. Cool. Thanks for your input.

I have seen only interface being the auto-applied buff from incarnates. Was even told that and support from hybrid were the only two to transfer over. In all honesty I've not felt a difference from any other incarnate bonuses on them than the Barrier and support from hybrid and beyond the level shift, I haven't found them really worth having (Save barrier/mez protection or regen/end) Support hybrid is kind of... Extremely lackluster compared to the rest with the option being so truly limited.

I've found buildup being in tactics a better ordeal than in a self-buff by far. But that's mostly for uncontrolled dps. In all honesty with the AOE focus of this build I'm not sure that I'd trade anything out for it. All around well balanced on resistances and defense But I appreciate the input! I'm sure some one will benefit from it! :D

Because clearly I'm talking only about incarnates and tf/trials. ::) Sarcasm aside. It doesn't happen all the time but that's not even the main issue at hand. Honestly did you make a comment just to be heard/read?

Was told that pretty much solves any extra endurance. HOwever I'm not sure on whats better at this point, barrier or ageless -- Ageless gives the cap to recharge and Barrier makes it so you'll never truly need a purple again. Bit of a self bump but this is what I could create and come up with for an all-around well balanced and rounded build. This of course is before incarnates involved which is what i'm looking for. I see incarnate as an unnecessary bonus but an awesome one regardless.

So as I've been reading around, I haven't found anything to specifically address masterminds and their lack of incarnate options and abilities. Wanted to start a feedback post at least about that specifically. Right now I was told Alpha works for minions (But have seen no proof of this myself.) Interface and the support mod from the hybrid incarnate ability are all that applies I do believe. For those of us who are looking for min/max content and as well as better end/game playing, I think this would assist us a lot. Especially when the pets are annoying and dumb and most people would take a corr/def over MM's because of that in group settings anyways. (I've been overlooked for such before.) -- not saying it happens all the time. I prefer solo content most of the time anyhow. Any thoughts or opinions on this matter would be great.

Planning on putting together a build and posting it here today. I was looking for any advice from any veterin dark armor / TW users. So far I only have five abilities from the melee section. Defensive Sweep Titan Sweep Follow Through Whirling Smash Arc of Destruction Going Soul mastery for the tentacles/debuff (also RP theme element) Influence is of no consequence, I've dedicated up to 2billion for this toon if necessary. But I want only one build. -- I appreciate everyone's time and effort and I try to keep these up and posted for anyone else who may use them in the future. Will post back when I create something, looking for critiques. Thanks!

Didn't even know this post existed. Thanks. Found the one I modified off of Ship of Heroes (Archived forums?) And modified at the suggestion of Gmredux's early advice. Build was around 600mil - If I chose to craft, it would have been half that. I've avoided resistances for defense and of course -to hit (which is essentially more def) Haven't had issues yet and I'm rolling around at +4x8

I really enjoyed looking over this build. I have actually already fully built mine based on the one I posted above with a few personal changes of course. And I decided to attempt a multibox actually and found them to be nearly godly. Incarnates with barrier/protections of status will definitely be options taken. I greatly appreciate that you posted this build as it helps me understand the class a bit better as well. Thanks so much for being helpful and awesome :D
