KaizenSoze Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 This is not a complaint thread. The opposite, I was having a blast today on kill most Yins with minimal difficulty of 2. Elec/Ice blaster I now have Thunderous Blast, Freezing touch, and Frozen aura available. +3 Yin 29 mins, pulled most of the side rooms in the last mission Fortunata Psychic wail and Aura of Confusion are available, but I had to push confuse to level 32 to get it all to work +2 Yin 35 mins. Much lower damage team, but pulled all the side rooms. Being able to alternate Psychic Wail and Aura of Confusion was a lot of fun. Funnest combo, Aim->Psychic Tornado->Follow up->Psychic Wail Next up: Ninja/Trick Arrow Mastermind - will get last upgrade, oil slick arrow Bane - Crowd control is the only really useful power to pull to 30. 2 1 Night Pixie on Excelsior Introduction to Arachnos Widows - Night/Blood/Fortunata
kelika2 Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Went through that on my fire/trick arrow corr There was a grav dom who popped the computers while the ambush was coming. wormholed AV group onto the ambush group in that little choke point where my glue, oil, disruption and damn that was fun 2

KaizenSoze Posted October 25, 2022 Author Posted October 25, 2022 I found it easier to respec my psi/ninja scrapper next. Nice to have mass levitate. +3 kill most, pulled all the side doors in mission four, 30 mins We had a few deaths, but a high damage team and I got good use out of fold space. 1 Night Pixie on Excelsior Introduction to Arachnos Widows - Night/Blood/Fortunata
Brutal Justice Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 So now you have to crank it to +3 and pull the entire map to have fun. While the level appropriate toons are dead/ineffective. Sounds like confirmation of our fears. 1 1 1 4 3 Guardian survivor

While the level appropriate toons are dead/ineffective. Sounds like confirmation of our fears. According to whom? I've run 2 Yins recently and did not see any reason to cry that the sky is falling the way some of y'all have been since the beta. Yes, I know, anecdotal and only a couple of runs so far, but, at least so far on Everlasting, it wasn't some doom and gloom thing and both runs (one at +2 and one at default) ran in about the same time as Yin usually seems to take. 1 3 Global: @Valnara1; Discord Handle: @Valnara#0620 I primarily play on Everlasting, but you may occasionally find me on Indom. 🙂 Notable Characters: Apocolyptica - Demons/Storm MM; Lurking Monster - Human-Form WS; Environmentabot - Bots/Nature MM; Miss Fade - Ill/Traps Controller; Sister Apocalypse - Beast/Dark MM; Dr. Elaina Wrath - Plant/Rad Controller (Join the House of Wrath, and spread the word of science!); Ruff Ruff Boom - AR/Devices Blaster

What I am saying is it possible to due +2-3 Yin faster and with more fun, because of the extra powers. Otherwise, +3 can be tedious without the extra powers in a PUG. I am capable of having fun with any level Yin. Please, take your doom and gloom to another thread. 8 Night Pixie on Excelsior Introduction to Arachnos Widows - Night/Blood/Fortunata
Xiddo Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 I’m yet to try any Yins because I haven’t had a chance to look at a rough build with the new power changes. Jealous! @Xiddo on Excel. Alts: Agent Betel - Athosin - Nisotha - Anapos - Atomic Chilli - Bainbridge -

Sentinel Super Reflexes really needed the new power order. No AoE defense until level 35 is tough.

You can get those two AOE defense powers much earlier now. Secondary Sets (non-Epic ATs) Tier 2 powers moved from level 2 to level 1 (character creation) Tier 7 powers moved from level 28 to level 24 Tier 8 powers moved from level 35 to level 28 Tier 9 powers moved from level 38 to level 30 Night Pixie on Excelsior Introduction to Arachnos Widows - Night/Blood/Fortunata

Sentinel Super Reflexes seems to be based on Stalker Super Reflexes (mostly) with hide swapped out for an endurance recovery power. But for Stalkers, Lucky got rolled into Evasion. That's why Evasion's AoE defense is about 7% higher than Focused Fighting and Focused Reflexes. 1

Ruin Mage Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 Don't mind Greycat's post, he's been on the "This is what's next" train despite HC not giving any indication that it is what's next. That being said, neat info! Thanks Kaiser. 1 alright buddy, it's time to shit yourselfcasts earthquake, activates dispersion bubble

Ranks right there with Pos1's, "Hey, guys, don't head to the City Hall doors, until...oh, never mind..."

Starts with the door, but then could come from behind. Since, it's a wide open area it's much harder to group them up or hide from attacks.

KaizenSoze Posted October 27, 2022 Author Posted October 27, 2022 Respec'ed and run my Ninja/Trick Arrow Mastermind. Oh my oh my. Between the mastermind buffs, having all pet upgrades, and oil slick arrow it was a blast. +2 first mission, +3 the rest, 30 mins. Lost a total 5 genin and 2 jounin. 1 Night Pixie on Excelsior Introduction to Arachnos Widows - Night/Blood/Fortunata
KaizenSoze Posted October 28, 2022 Author Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Two slower runs, but both builds are mostly SOs, except a few IOs. Huntsbane, changes allow you to have one set of pets. +3, 37 mins. It was a good, but lower damage team. Sentinel Archery/Ninja, +2, 32 mins. The pullers were all over the place, which led to some unnecessary deaths and the team was a bit low damage. I think we had a lot of sub-25s in the team. Good group, just a bit slow. Still +2-3 is the new sweet spot for speed vs exp now. Edited October 28, 2022 by KaizenSoze 2 Night Pixie on Excelsior Introduction to Arachnos Widows - Night/Blood/Fortunata
KaizenSoze Posted November 1, 2022 Author Posted November 1, 2022 Last update. I joined a 0x8 kill most PUG with my respec'ed elec/ice blaster. Took 20 mins, no side rooms. So, a few minutes faster than a normal 0 kill most, but not ridiculous. Being able to wipe out 80% of every second or third spawn with my nuke did speed things up a bit.

One to left and one straight ahead. I've never had any follow me inside, plus you can't go in until after the ambush is done. 1
