Incarnate Powers Alpha Slot Questions

[Aiax]

I have two questions regarding the alpha slot and powers and wasn't sure where else to put this, and my search fu wasn't strong enough to find the answers.

 

If you create the powers are you able to swap powers in and out of the alpha slot?

 

Does Vigor increase regeneration and absorb or only direct/self  heals?

 

Thank you!

Yes,you can swap any of the Incarnate powers. But there is a 5 minute cooldown,Also you need to be "out of combat" to swap power.

 

Vigor does increase heal and regen...don't think it does anything for absorb tho.

Thank you for the reply!

 

Just another follow up question, does the alpha slot also affect set bonuses?

No, not directly. Alpha only impacts the enhancable attributes of a given power, consistent with the diminishing returns ceiling of a given tier of the Alpha ability.

Think about it as:

Universal Enhancements

“The Alpha Slot Incarnate Abilities give their aspect enhancement to every power that a character has that can utilize it. “
